The Colorado system was home to at least one habitable world, Colorado II, and as at 3145 was located in the Chirikof Operational Area of the Crucis March within the Federated Suns.[2][3]

System Description

The Colorado system is located near the Noatak and Sparrevohn systems[2][3] and consists of a class G5V primary orbited by at least two planets.[1]

System History

The Colorado system was settled during the First Exodus from Terra and by the end of the Age of War was a member of the Federated Suns.[4][5]

Colorado II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Colorado II - more commonly referred to simply as Colorado - is the second planet in the system and has two moons named Aspen and Vale.[1]

Planetary History

Colorado was historically the world with the richest germanium deposits in the entire of the Federated Suns. This led to extensive strip mining that slowly transformed the planet into an ecological disaster. In the mid-thirty-first century the more easily-extracted germanium deposits were becoming increasingly scarce, leading one of the companies on the planet - Bastantapur Fine Metals - to expand their portfolio in 3053 by purchasing a commercial airline manufacturer that had lapsed into bankruptcy. Commissioned as the Basantapur Fine Metals Aerospace Range, the Bastantapur plant on Colorado was used to perform military refits, before being expanded a couple of decades later to produce the Drake Medium Strike Fighter.[1]

Political Affiliation

Geography

Prior to human occupation Colorado was a pristine arctic world; centuries of strip mining following the human colonization of the planet resulted in an ecological disaster. Colorado has four continents named Chaffee, Lincoln, Montrose and Yuma.[1]

Planetary Locations

  • Apache: the location of the Basantapur Fine Metals industrial facilities on Yuma.[1]
  • Denver: the planetary capital city, located on Montose.[1]
