== Planetary History ==
===Early History===
Beten Kaitos is a harsh and marginally habitable world but rich in resources, first discovered by explorers from Muskegon in 2177. Despite how unwelcoming Beten Kaitos was, it was still marginally more habitable than Muskegon, and became the site of a colony founded by volunteers from Muskegon and ruled with an iron fist by the Commander of Muskegon via his appointed governor.<ref name="HD(TFS)p23">''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 23, "Muskegon"</ref>

The colony on Beten Kaitos managed to survive and grow, with the raw materials from Beten Kaitos and the nearby Muskegon colony of Emerson fueling the founding of colonies on other worlds.<ref name="HD(TFS)p23"/> Beten Kaitos would continue to be ruled by the Commander and his descendants, although discontent at the harsh governance of the world continued to grow and finally reached a breaking point in [[2318]]. That year, Commander [[Jehan Achmeed]] decided to merge the seven-world Muskegon Empire into the newly-formed Federated Suns; this was the catalyst that saw Emerson rise up in revolt, declaring their independence and petitioning to join the nearby Chesterton Trade Federation. The population of Beten Kaitos elected to declare their independence as well, joining Emerson's petition for membership of the Federation.<ref name="HD(TFS)p24">''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 24, "Muskegon"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp19+">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 19, "Muskegon and Chesterton"</ref>

The Federated Suns moved to occupy both worlds, only to find that they couldn't hold either world when troops from the Chesterton Trade Federation landed. Three years of warfare followed, with both Beten Kaitos and Emerson changing hands several times, before the worlds were finally and firmly in the hands of the Trade Federation. This military defeat at the hands of a smaller nation - although the Chesterton forces were assisted by Tikonov troops under the auspices of the [[Tikonov Grand Union]] - earned a reputation for weakness which marked the Federated Suns for decades.<ref name="HB:HDp19+"/>
