	The system of San Colette was first discovered by astronomers from France in 2272, in the years immediately preceding the devastating Interstellar War. Its original discoverers named it after Saint Colette of Corbie, in the hopes that the system would bring about a peaceful future for the then-struggling Alliance. The system was quite desirable for the Alliance as it contained one readily habitable world, San Colette, and a small planet, D’Anzin, with Helium-3 deposits sufficient enough to justify the expensive task of colonization. The Alliance, desperate for money in the midst of the Second Great Depression, sold off the system’s colonization rights in 2274. The rights were purchased by an unexpected source: rather than a nation-state or corporation purchasing the system’s colonization rights an alliance of Spanish and Portuguese business magnates secured the winning bid with seconds on the clock. The magnates – perhaps out of patriotism or perhaps out of a desire to win the economic goodwill of the government while avoiding the true cost of colonization – gifted the rights of colonization to the governments of Spain and Portugal. Before a colonization plan could be created the Interstellar War (2278 - 2287) broke out, effectively dashing the hopes of many of the prospective settlers.

	While the initial hope of an Iberian colony faded in the chaos of the Interstellar War and its economic impact, the desire of many in the region was not extinguished. By the 2330s the worst of the economic crisis had faded into the background and Iberia once again prepared to journey to the stars and in 2338 they launched the first colony ships to San Colette, and towards a new future.

	The journey to San Colette took almost two years due to the distance traversed from Earth and the ad-hoc nature of many of the Alliance’s transportation networks, which had been ravaged by both the Interstellar War and the Second Great Depression. As the five colony ships sent to San Colette traveled across the breadth of the Alliance one of the scientists aboard the lead ship, Doctor Ernesto Castrejon, observed the sorry state of the Alliance’s warp network. Doctor Castejon was, at the time, a scientist of little importance simply sent to assist in the construction of a theoretical warp gate for San Colette which would connect it to the broader Alliance. But as the journey dragged on and Ernesto became increasingly irate, he began to form a greater idea which would transform the broader Alliance. At long last, in 2340, the first colonists arrived in the system of San Colette, ready to begin the immense undertaking of colonizing a new world for the Alliance.

	Within a decade San Colette had established itself as a young, though quite productive, colony. Helium-3 mining on D’Anzin kept its budget in check and a warp gate, first completed in 2344, ensured shipments of materials were never long in reaching the new colony. But for one man, who had now been promoted to the lead scientist in charge of the Coletter warp gate, it was not enough. What Doctor Castejon had in mind was far greater than one planet, one warp gate, and Helium-3 mining. The doctor had turned his mind towards the future and realized something: with San Colette’s position, which straddled the line between the Middle and Outer Rings, it had a unique opportunity to establish itself as the main point of transit between both rings. Doctor Castejon intended to turn San Colette into a transportation hub, and to transform its economy in the process.

	Doctor Castejon took his idea for a warp gate network in the northern section of the Alliance to the then-governor of San Colette, Beatriz Rada, in 2349. What happened behind the closed doors of the governor’s residence may never be truly known, but both Governor Rada and Doctor Castejon left the meeting with a drive to see the project realized. Following six years of debate, backroom dealings, and extensive political maneuverings the Warp Gate Project – the largest project undertaken by the Alliance – was approved by the Solarian government, and the majority of the construction contracts were awarded to Einstein Engines. Governor Rada and Doctor Castejon had achieved their dream: to make San Colette the largest point of transit between the Middle and Outer Rings, and to bring immense wealth to it in the process.

	While the Navy was relatively content with San Colette’s defenses there remained the matter of training and equipping a local military arm to defend San Colette in the event of a dire emergency. In 2356 the Civil Guard of the Sovereign Solarian Republic of San Colette, or simply the Civil Guard, was founded in response to the Navy’s demands. The Civil Guard, over the next few decades, proved to be a competent and relatively well-equipped force. Its size remained relatively small due to the Guard’s focus on defensive readiness and automated weapons, but constant funding ensured it was never free of willing volunteers. A sense of patriotic duty related to the Civil Guard also began to slowly develop and many Coletters began to view service in it as a way to seize some of their military autonomy back from the Solarian Navy, which had become increasingly unpopular due to its demands.

	By the early 2400s San Colette had become a beacon of economic stability in the outer Alliance, and served as a hub for trade flowing from much of the northern Spur into the Alliance. In 2402 it was officially declared to be the Sovereign Solarian Republic of San Colette, finally shedding its colonial roots and ascending as a full Solarian member state. As the first decade of the 25th century came to a close the Republic had one of the highest standards of living in the Middle and Outer Rings thanks to its status as a trade hub. But the relationship between the Navy and Republic remained poor and efforts by the Civil Guard to further expand their capabilities were often frustrated by the Navy. In 2415 the Navy-Guard relationship reached a new low when the Guard’s ships were banned from possessing warp engines capable of traveling without a gate, despite the protests of the Republic.

	Coletters often argue over when the Solarian Collapse truly became unavoidable. Some argue that the Clandestine Incident of 24 October, 2462 — which many in the Republic believe was carried out deliberately by Biesel — marked the start of the end. Others believe the end truly began on 07 November, 2462, when Mars ceased responding to interstellar communications. Or perhaps it was on 11 November, 2462, when the Prime Minister was found dead in his suite. But most argue the Collapse was truly, irreversibly set to happen on 17 November, 2462, when forces from the 58th Fleet opened fire on fellow Solarians. This, to most in the Republic, marked the decisive turning point.		Coletters often argue over when the Solarian Collapse truly became unavoidable.

Line 87:		Line 73:

	Resolving the economic crisis caused by the Collapse was simpler than many in the Pact and Republic originally expected. With the collapse of Solarian authority in what became the Corporate Reconstruction Zone, much of the food supply line was interrupted and a new need for weaponry emerged. San Colette, stripped of many of its more high-end export routes, has fallen back onto exporting two mainstays of humanity to the CRZ via Tau Ceti in the meantime: foodstuffs and weaponry. By summer 2463 the economic crisis was resolved. However the necessity to maintain good trade relations with Biesel has led to the SRF and League becoming more vitriolic in their rhetoric towards the Pact, but what can one do? To trade with the Alliance means trade must go through the SRF, and to trade with the Coalition one must go through the League. Coletters have thus been forced into an awkward, perhaps temporary, economic relationship with Biesel.

	~~<div class="mw-collapsible-content">~~
	In early 2465 tensions in the Northern Reaches boiled over into all-out war between the League, Pact, and Front. The War started with the invasion of the Pact by the Front, pitting forces aligned to the 35th Fleet against the vessels of the Colettish Civil Guard, their Pact allies, and Free Solarian Fleet mercenaries. Despite initial successes against the Front which were aided by phoron acquired by the FSF Caravaggio in 2464, the Pact was pushed further and further back as it was caught in a two-front fight against numerically superior League and Front forces. Within a few months of fighting the Pact had been forced back to the strategic defensive fortifications of Nueva Patria and San Colette, where it decided to make its last stand.

	As the Northern Reaches recovers San Colette finds itself once again in the Alliance and even more prominent than it once was due to its newfound status as the capital of the Northern Solarian Reconstruction Mandate. But the system has been scarred by war: thousands are dead, many more are displaced, and there is much rebuilding to do. But Coletters remain hopeful, and confident they will build a better and stronger Alliancd upon the remains of the Solarian Civil War.

	<div class="mw-collapsible-content">		<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
	At the far south of Nuevo Norte, Nuevo Villaviciosa is the most populated city on the continent and site of the heaviest fighting of the Battle of San Colette. Villaviciosa has long been the home of San Colette’s shipbuilding industry and is the current headquarters of its major shipbuilding concern: TyVS. The city is in a relatively temperate region ~~of Morro~~ and is surrounded by a landscape of gently rolling hills and plains which are home to a scattering of smaller towns, villages, and farms. Villaviciosa itself is a heavily-industrialized town built upon a slope which gently opens into the Bay of Villaviciosa, the city’s major port. The waters outside the Bay are home to a unique structure on San Colette: the Castrejon Space Elevator. The elevator is a massive offshore structure built into the shallow seas surrounding Villaviciosa which allows for ship parts – often individually built in its drydocks – to be hauled into low Colette orbit before being placed onto the relevant hull in orbit above the city. An overwhelming majority of the Civil Guard’s ships can trace their origins to Villaviciosa’s facilities and, prior to the Solarian Civil War, the city produced many ships for export. The Solarian Civil War severely impacted the city’s economy during its initial stages as shipbuilding contracts dried up or were suddenly canceled. Only intervention by the Republic’s government and the Civil Guard’s increasing demand for ships, along with orders from the wider Shield Pact, saved Nuevo Villaviciosa’s economy from a total meltdown. During the Battle of San Colette Nuevo Villaviciosa was orbirally bombarded by the Front and was the site of heavy house-to-house urban combat in its suburbs as Colettish and Pact troops attempted to repulse Front invaders. Over a weekend of fighting much of the city’s outlying urban sprawl was destroyed and tens of thousands were displaced, with thousands of troops on each side perishing. The Front was ultimately repulsed and the city saved, and the Mandate government has committed to rebuilding all which was destroyed.

	While the Navy was relatively content with San Colette’s defenses there remained the matter of training and equipping a local military arm to defend San Colette in the event of a dire emergency. In 2356 the Civil Guard of the Sovereign Solarian Republic of San Colette, or simply the Civil Guard, was founded in response to the Navy’s demands. The Civil Guard, over the next few decades, proved to be a competent and relatively well-equipped force. Its size remained relatively small due to the Guard’s focus on defensive readiness and automated weapons, but constant funding ensured it was never free of willing volunteers. A sense of patriotic duty related to the Civil Guard also began to slowly develop and many Coletters began to view service in it as a way to seize some of their military autonomy back from the Solarian Navy, which had become increasingly unpopular due to its demands.

	===The System of ~~San Colette~~===		===The System of Nueva Patria===

	The system of San Colette consists of four major stellar bodies including its star, Nueva Hispaniola. The nearest stellar body to Nuevo Hispaniola is a small and barren planet known as San Felipe. Due to its closeness to the star San Felipe is entirely uninhabitable and its only man-made features are a neglected series of solar power facilities built by Einstein Engines during the Warp Gate Project which exist both in the orbit of San Felipe and on its surface. The rusting hulks of these facilities are occasionally used for target practice by the Civil Guard but otherwise rarely receive visitors due to their proximity to Nuevo Hispaniola and the presence of unexploded firing range munitions aboard them.

	Beyond the orbit of D’Anzin and the massive warp gates near it lies the Colettish Belt, a sizable ring of asteroids which surrounds the system. Asteroids and comets found in the Belt contain little of value and much of the Belt itself is designated as a restricted military zone due to the presence of the Republic’s second layer of defense: the Tools of the Saint. Automated defenses are scattered throughout the Belt and wandering into it, or deliberately tampering with the defenses, often results in injury, death, or time in a prison on San Colette. The extent to which the Belt is fortified remains a secret of the Republic few are aware of.

	All throughout ~~Nuevo~~ Patria one can now find the drifting remains of wrecked vessels, stations, and facilities — the physical remains of the Solarian Civil War. These ruins are being slowly salvaged and removed by the Solarian Navy, Civil Guard, and civilian contractors of the Colettish government to restore the system to its prior condition. Access to these ruins is restricted to licensed personnel as many are filled with unexploded munitions, half-deactivated reactors, and at times the bodies of deceased crew which must be identified and returned to their planet of origin.

	Following the war’s end many volunteers have returned to their homelands, the Solarian Armed Forces, or have settled in San Colette. While Solarian and Dominian volunteers were mostly let go without questioning, those from the Coalition of Colonies, Republic of Elyra, or Republic of Biesel were often subjected to intense questioning by the Solarian Army or Solarian police forces before they were allowed to depart. Many Coalition volunteers were then sent to Konyang, where they were subjected to further questioning and border checks.

	The first volunteer battalion was led by Michael “Mike” Forsythe, formerly a Legate of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion, and Alexis Watts, formerly a 1st Lieutenant of the 37th Martian. It had a reputation as a “grab bag” of personnel and included individuals from as far away as the Empire of Dominia. The first was heavily involved in fighting on the planet of New Peoria and in the city of Nueva Isabela on San Colette, where Legate Forsythe was killed in action. Most of the first’s members have returned home and ~~new~~ have joined the Solarian Armed Forces or remained in San Colette.		The first volunteer battalion was led by Michael “Mike” Forsythe, formerly a Legate of the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion, and Alexis Watts, formerly a 1st Lieutenant of the 37th Martian. It had a reputation as a “grab bag” of personnel and included individuals from as far away as the Empire of Dominia and Elyra's phoron-hunting mercenary companies. The first was heavily involved in fighting on the planet of New Peoria and in the city of Nueva Isabela on San Colette, where Legate Forsythe was killed in action, and on D'Anzin's surface. Most of the first’s members have returned home and few have joined the Solarian Armed Forces or remained in San Colette.

	The second volunteer battalion was led by Lieutenant Colonel Hale Kaohi, formerly of the 12th Silversunner Coastal Infantry Division. Kaohi’s battalion was primarily made of fellow 12th Silversunner veterans and, while never confirmed, rumors have long circulated that Kaohi’s battalion was sanctioned by his divisional commanders. Prior to the Battle of San Colette the second was primarily responsible for training Colettish militia troops who had volunteered to fight against the Front. After the Solarian intervention the second was essentially completely absorbed by the Solarian Army, and many have now returned to the 12th Silversunner.

	The third volunteer battalion was led by former Visegradi National Defense Force (NDF) officer Willerich Kozak. An unusual combination of former NDF personnel, Coalition volunteers~~, and Elyran mercenaries~~, the third saw the most combat out of any of the three battalions during the Battle of San Colette and was heavily engaged during the Battle of Nuevo Villaviciosa and ground combat in D’Anzin. Following this it accompanied Solarian Army troops to Lycoris, where it was the last volunteer battalion to be demobilized. Kozak has been missing in action since the end of ground combat in Nuevo Villaviciosa, and rumors have begun to circle that he has appeared on Visegrad and offered his services to Fleet Admiral Klaudia Szalai.

	Formed during the final months of the Solarian Civil War from non-Pact fighters who had traveled to defend it, the three Colettish volunteer battalions were heavily involved in the War in the Northern Wildlands and the Battle of San Colette. The battalions were truly international formations, featuring troops and members from as far away as the Free System of Vysoka or the Imperial Mandate of Novi Jadran. They fought valiantly and were prominently featured in coverage of the conflict by the Xanu Prime-based Xanu News Service (XNS). The volunteers are popular across ~~rbe~~ Northern Reaches and are held up as an example of heroism by many in the region.
