Rutan

Grid Location: L-20

Sector: Atravis Sector 

Region: Outer Rim 

Terrain: Temperate Climate, vast green plains and forests.

Native Species: Rutanians

Population: More than 3 million 

Commanding Officer: Director Mya Vorne

Capital: Testa

History: Throughout their history, the people of Rutan had often been engaged in conflict with their species’ offshoot race, the Senali, who had settled on the moon of the same name. The Senali ultimately prevailed, but the conflict was so devastating that a peace agreement was forged: the firstborn children of both worlds’ rulers would be exchanged at the age of seven. When the children turned sixteen, they would return home, preventing either side from launching an attack on the other.

During the galactic civil war, the people of Senali, home to the ruling family of the Hydian Consolidated shipping company, consistently lobbied for their system to join the Empire, seeing it as an opportunity to enrich both themselves and Hydian Consolidated. However, Alliance-backed guerrilla fighters prevented this from happening, reigniting the long-standing conflict between the two worlds.

As the civil war drew to a close and the Cold War began, Ashlon Director Mya Vorne requested a meeting with Glonatan Hapenar, chairman of Hydian Consolidated. She was eager to see his prized submarines and to discuss shipping contracts in exchange for protection from pirates, as well as potential assistance with the ongoing Rutan situation.

History: Senali was covered in oceans except for small islands the Senalis lived on. The Senalis subsisted mainly on fish and fruit from the various scattered islands across the moon. The Senalis' trade centered culture sparked the creation of the Fondaco shipping enterprise, and later on the Hydian consolidated, a congromerate of all major shipping companies along the hydian way. Now the people of Senali help the Ashlon empire set a foothold on the system as Rutanians launch preemptive strikes on the moon.
