Description
The Tamebrook System is an originally independent star system of just three planets and an asteroid belt located several hundred light years from the Sol System. Although a small system in terms of colonizable land, observations from the closest settled system indicated, not just one, but two potentially terraformable worlds -- the moon Tamebrook IIe, and Tamebrook III, along with infrared readings which indicated Tamebrook's only gas giant being a jovian world of high-quality helium and hydrogen composition. This being established, several decades after the system's discovery, a cluster of ten unmanned, primitive Gaia-warp ships were dispatched toward the system, each ship holding ten biome-specific eco-domes. After a journey of six years and 147 days at five times light-speed, the ten Gaia-ships established an orbit in the goldilocks zone of Tamebrook and dispatched their arrival announcement back to their home system at light speed. Five years after the message's arrival, nine great ark ships, each carrying half-a-million settlers, were launched toward Tamebrook. After their arrival, both the worlds of Aeromore -- settled dominantly by English-speaking Chinese Americans and Native Americans -- and Ashenmir -- settled dominantly by Slavs, especially Russians -- would take half a century to terraform with colonization equipment and the developed ecosystems of the Gaia-ships already in the system.

Over the course of a century, civilization developed in the system, and the space between the two inhabited worlds was steadily filled with space ships. The two worlds of Ashenmir and Aeromore were divided into separate political entities -- Aeromore, although always less populous, and the world with a more hostile climate, had always been dominant of the two due to its complete monopoly over Tamebrook's only gas giant and her many moons. It was from this that the Tamebrook trade route formed -- it was a route of ion-drive ships between Ashenmir and Aeromore carrying cargo to and from the two worlds, generally, the bargaining piece of the trade being hydrogen and helium from Tamebrook II and rare, precious elements and metals from Tamebrook I and Ashenmir's moon -- both of which Ashenmir's government had exclusive access to.

It would be almost a century after Tamebrook's two worlds were settled that interstellar civilization would be brought to the system; from the Commonwealth of Man -- a regional, authoritarian interstellar polity -- whose FTL scout fleet convinced the government of Ashenmir to construct a stargate in low geostationary orbit of Tamebrook, much to protest of Aeromore's more skeptical government. What followed from the seven-year construction effort was the Tamebrook system's immediate, unfortunate subjugation into the Commonwealth of Man at the hand of the Commonwealth's 376th fleet, whose admiral was declared governor-general of the system, and her fleet its occupation force.

After fifty years of exploitation and chaffing from military rule -- accompanied by innumerable failed local and system-wide rebellions, both violent and non-violent -- the United Nations of Earth brought its campaign to unify Humanity to the Tamebrook System; locking into Tamebrook Gate-1's signature, and launching a fleet into the system in a surprise attack.

So far, the UNE has taken the moon, Aeromore, from the Commonwealth forces within the system -- restoring local governance, reluctantly, to a plutocratic dictatorship -- but has been unable to replenish its forces from the greater UNE due to the fighting over the system's stargate -- thus, forcing both the Commonwealth of Man and the UNE forces to rely on conventional, long-range supply lines from neighboring systems.

Yes, Commonwealth of Man; like from Stellaris.
