 The
Satyr System was colonized during the Old Republic by refugees from the
Trade Federation that ran into Varnus Quadrant. Two colonies were founded,
one on Haven in the Satyr System, and one on Laan in the Talas System.
Both planets were the only uninhabited yet habitable planets at the time,
which was about thirty years before the collapse of the Republic. The colonies
did well, until the ruthless Krri'Graq spread out from the Moro system
and made war on anyone around them, including their Sigman cousins, and
cut the lines between the colonies. The Satyr System was subjugated at
one point by the Krri'Graq, but was liberated shortly thereafter by combined
forces from around the sector that drove the Krri'Graq back until much
later. It was then that the Epsilon Trade Corporation moved in to restore
business in the quadrant, and established a gas mining colony was established
in low orbit of Vengis, and a Golan Class One Space Colony in orbit of
Oristal. The system did fairly well until pirate forces moved in during
the Galactic Civil War, once again cutting the system off. Minimal business
kept the system alive, mostly due to the NI/UGR Conflict, which seemed
ready to burst into flame in the system.

| Colimna is a rocky planet rich in radioactive minerals. It is thus potentially of great mining worth to the NI, and a mining base is on the budget. However, the planet may be too radiated and hot to make the process worth the while. Conflict wit the UGR in the system has also put the proposal on the backburner. Thus, while the proposal sits in the NI Senate files, Colimna continues to trace its lonely path around its sun, oblivious to anything else in the universe. |

Haven is the only habitable planet in the Satyr System. It was named by its colonists, who were refugees from the Trade Federation in the latter days of the Old Republic. Though it certainly wasn't a utopia, it was welcome sight for the travelers, weary from their journeys, a haven in which they were safe and could start a new life. Though Haven is a dry planet with few forests or flora, the settlers were able to tap into water sources deep underground and create an agricultural colony that sustains them. While not enough to sell to other systems, they produce enough to keep their colony going. A number of large cities have sprung up, made of basic materials and their buildings rarely more than two or three stories. The Havens are a simple people, and most do not desire the luxuries that many in the galaxy strive to attain. They are satsified with their home, and their not-so-easy life. A few have ventured offworld to seek greater things, but more are content. The Havan society is simple as their lifestyle. Their government is small-time and feudal, usually with the differint towns governing themselves. Family structure dominates on Haven, and families run different businesses or agricultural companies where on most planets corporations take hold. A slow trickle of technology has gradually increased the living standard on Haven, improving cultivation and making life a bit easier more recently. Haven is a popular place for those seeking exactly that, those who want to live away from the bustle of the rest of the galaxy and live simply. Rumors of some highly known politicians taking hermitage there have not been proven. While the Havens are content where they are and reluctant to cast their membership in either the NI or UGR, conflict seems inevitable in the Satyr System. Still, the planet has been declared a neutral zone, like the Space Colony orbiting Oristal, and both sides have unanimously kept this agreement to keep civilians out of the conflict. Current

| Vespus is a large gas giant wracked by a super-turbulent atmosphere. The beautiful multicolored planet is rich in valuable gases, and a Derylin Platform was established by the Epsilon Trade Corporation despite the hazards of the superstorms which trek across the atmosphere. The Derylin Platform used to harvest these gases to sell to other parties, but it was decimated in the Altarin'Dakor attack. |

| Oristal
is the outermost planet of the Satyr System, and its second gas giant.
While not nearly as large as Vengis, its bright blue color catches the
eye nearly as well as its sister-planet's superstorms. No particulartly
useful gases were discovered in its atmosphere, so a mining colony was
not established. However, the Epsilon Trade Corporation built a Golan Systems'
Class One Space Colony in orbit during the Old Republic. At the time, the
Satyr System was considered an up-and-coming system, and a vital stop-off
point for travel in the Quadrant, which was continually developing. However,
when pirate forces cut off supply lines and took over the system, the trade
corporation was forced to withdraw from the quadrant and all but abandon
the Space Colony. Later on, after the founding of the NI and the UGR, the
system saw much more business, and the colony base was put to use again.
With the threat of war in the system a real possibility, the base declared
neutral territory, and both sides have agreed not to bring military ships
within a hundred kilometers of the civilian outpost.
The invading Altarin'Dakor had no such agreement, however. Their ships approached the starbase and ruthelessly destroyed it, murdering every single one of the 1,700 inhabitants. All that remains in orbit now are small pieces of wreckage. |
