System Details

Tau Ceti, or Mystic as it is more commonly called, was the capitol system of the Galactic Empire before its fall and is now the capitol system of the Bandorian Protectorate. Mystic is also the capitol system of the Union of Human Workers and the capitol system of the Santonian Order. Both of these organizations have considerable numbers of naval vessels in the system, adding to the incredible amounts of traffic present here. While Sol has a higher population than Mystic, statistics show that Mystic’s jump gates have the highest amount of traffic of any inhabited human system. Massive numbers of Bandorian warships patrol the system, keeping an eye on shipping and casually blasting any UEO ships to pieces as soon as they come in range of the warships’ massive batteries. This system’s star is surprisingly low-metallicity, and many of the system's metals and items requiring metal in their manufacturing process must be imported from other systems; fortunately, the Protectorate has many systems which have high-metallicity stars and convenient asteroid belts for mining. This system is also known for the pleasant climates of its inhabited planets; Vecrolla is slightly on the cold side even after terraforming, and it is the first planet with genetically engineered wildlife, which were introduced at the end of the terraforming process by UN scientists. Mystic used to be under the control of the UN, along with the rest of the human colonies except for those under the control of the Asgardian Alliance, itself heavily influenced by the UN. However, after several wars over this issue, the colonists were freed from the tyranny of the UN, and the Protectorate emerged as a major power. After the Second Interstellar War, in which the Protectorate was defeated by the Union, Lu Weng and other senior former Bandorian military officials started the Galactic Empire, which ruled until 3506 when it was destroyed by the Union. The Emperor and almost all of his family were killed in a bombardment of Lionus; however, his daughter Tai had been on Vecrolla when the Asgardian forces entered the system and had been unable to return to the Imperial Palace because of the Asgardian warships in the system. Bandorian forces fought bravely and even suicidally alongside the Imperial forces in their desperate fight, but once the death of the Emperor was announced the Imperial forces mostly stopped fighting; the Asgardian fleet commanders, seeing the Bandorian forces still ready for battle and with their fleets badly damaged, wisely decided to withdraw. However, the Asgardian-Bandorian Twenty Years' War which took place shortly afterwards greatly reduced the power of the Asgardian Alliance.
