The '''Croshaw system''' is a star system controlled by the [[StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth]]. It was the first extrasolar system that was [[StarCitizen:Terraforming|terraformed]] and settled via jump-point by [[StarCitizen:Human]]s in the 23rd century. It was named after the first person who successfully traversed the jump-point and came back alive, [[StarCitizen:Nick Croshaw]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/13332-The-Observist-Angeli-Croshaw|text=The Observist: Angeli, Croshaw}}</ref>

The ramifications of Crowshaw's settlement led also to the creation of the [[StarCitizen:United Nations of Earth]]. The system has been a consistent player in Humanity's social and political development ever since.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15019-Galactic-Guide|text=Galactic Guide: Croshaw System}}</ref>

==History==
A space anomaly, called the [[StarCitizen:Neso Triangle]] was discovered near [[StarCitizen:Pluto]] in 2262. Croshaw's first 'discoverers', the crew of the [[StarCitizen:Goodman]], and two other ships went into the event horizon of the jump-point under unknown circumstances and were damaged heavily. Without a functional engine, the crew of the Goodman was stranded in the system and died there.<ref>{{Cite RSI|text=DISCOVERED: A Goodman is Hard to Find|int=Comm-Link:Discovered - A Goodman is Hard to Find|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15692-DISCOVERED}}</ref>

Ten years later, in [[StarCitizen:2271]] scientist and explorer Nick Croshaw successfully traversed the new star system with a special jump-drive. In the following hundred years, Croshaw was terraformed under great difficulties, since no superior organization coordinated this process.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15019-Galactic-Guide|text=Galactic Guide: Croshaw System}}</ref>

Several private and state-owned terraforming companies tried to lay claim to Crowshaw's planets but squabbled over how land rights and mineral resources should be divided once terraforming was complete. Each company failed to calculate exactly how expensive it would be to continually transport supplies to maintain their operations. So, none of them succeeded.

Another challenge was inter-system travel. Ships had to be manually navigated through the jump-point. The risky travel led to high losses of ships and their crews, which resulted in the emergence of expert-pilots, called [[StarCitizen:Jumpers]]. The 'forefathers of [today's] [[StarCitizen:NavJumpers]].'<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15019-Galactic-Guide|text=Galactic Guide: Croshaw System}}</ref>

A committee appointed by the [[StarCitizen:World Summit]], a gathering of [[StarCitizen:Earth|Earth's]] leaders, finally took control of the expansion. 'The committee organized the linking of resources from various countries and companies to tackle the terraforming of [[StarCitizen:Croshaw II]] and [[StarCitizen:Vann|Croshaw III]], established a lottery to grant land and mineral rights once the process was complete, and, most importantly, figured out how to pay for it all.'<ref name="ReferenceA" />

The terraforming was funded with the income of the [[StarCitizen:Freeman Act]]. People received a one-way ticket to Croshaw aboard government-subsidized shuttles and the right to live there.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

The 'committee's successful stewardship convinced Humanity's leaders that a cohesive voice and vision was needed to aid our ascension out to the stars' and resulted in the transformation of the World Summit into the [[StarCitizen:United Nations of Earth]] in 2380.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/15019-Galactic-Guide|text=Galactic Guide: Croshaw System}}</ref>

==Gravitational governors==

===Croshaw ===
{{Main|Croshaw (star)}}

A G-type main sequence star.

==Planets==
=== Croshaw I===
{{Main|Croshaw I}}

The planet's thick acid-based clouds create an atmospheric mass that makes it impossible to land on.

===Angeli : Croshaw II===
{{Main|Angeli}}

The first planet terraformed and colonized by Humans in another star system, Angeli unfortunately suffers from heightened tectonic activity. Geologists theorize that there will be a devastating earthquake in its future. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Angeli's city of [[StarCitizen:Quinton]] features one of the most iconic skylines in the [[StarCitizen:UEE]].

===Vann : Croshaw III===
{{Main|Vann}}

Slightly smaller than Earth, Vann sits on the edge of Croshaw's green band and is perpetually cold. Its population dropped once more systems were discovered, but many people, especially those who enjoy the cold, still call it home.

===Croshaw IV===
{{Main|Croshaw IV}}

A large dead world that lacks both an atmosphere and valuable minerals.

==Asteroid belts==
The Croshaw system contains two asteroid fields - the [[StarCitizen:Daedalus Cluster]] and the [[StarCitizen:Icarus Cluster]]. Both fields are on the same orbit as Croshaw IV.
