System R-8 "Red Sky"

Officially designated the R-8 system of the Nepleslian Colonial Expanse, nicknamed by most as the 'Red Sky' system1) is a star system claimed by the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia after its discovery by the NSN 4th Fleet in YE 34. While there may have been other planets in the system before it was discovered, only two terrestrial planets remain inhabitable - Ascension and Typhoon. Two unnamed and as of yet unsurveyed gas giants with satellite moons remain, and an asteroid belt spans the outer edge of the system.

History

Discovered by ships of the 4th AASP in YE 34 the system was marked as a colonization candidate and efforts began to colonize the system the following year.

The system, designated as 'Red Sky' due to the effect of the red giant sun was fully colonized shortly after on all its inhabitable worlds and continued to flourish as a staging point of traders, explorers, survey groups, and traders seeking to take advantage to explore and exploit the largely untamed and relatively unexplored sections of the Kikyo sectors north and western frontiers.

By YE 42 the system remained as the westernmost Nepleslian settlement and outpost; Making it a prime target for invasion by a fleet of mercenaries backed by the Interstellar Kingdom Of Kuvexia. While the system was the site of a handful of fleet engagements between the Kuvexians against Admiral Lysander Calloways' Taskforce Bulwark and Rear Admiral Julia Brisks' 1st Expeditionary fleet, the system was secured by the Kuvexians where it remained occupied for the remainder of the conflict.

In YE 43, after hunting down the last of the Kuvexian mercenary fleet by Calloways' forces, several taskforces(add central corps post here) from the various assault fleets were deployed to retake the system.
