StarCitizen:Kiel system
More actions
The Kiel system is a border system (former StarCitizen:Perry Line system) to the Xi'an territory. It was discovered by a merchant marine ship under the command of StarCitizen:Adhama Schnauss in StarCitizen:2514. It was named after a friend of the captain of this merchant ship. Schnauss hoped the gesture would motivate his friend to finally venture into the stars to see the system that bore his name.<ref name=":0">Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy: Kiel System (2017-03-08); Relay.sc Transcript - Loremaker's Guide to the Galaxy: Kiel System (2017-03-08), acc. 2017-11-20. </ref>
History
After the discovery of the Baker and Horus System, 30 years later the UPE halted private sector building and transformed it into a military hub.<ref name=":0" />
Kiel's primary use was the serve as a staging area for military forces during the cold war. Out of the system's six planets only Severus (Kiel III) was terraformed to act as the military's center of operations.
It was also massively fortified and the Messer Regime pumped a lot of money into the system.<ref name=":0" />
Since tensions with the StarCitizen:Xi'an have diminished and the military presence has completely retracted, Kiel has struggled in the following years to redefine itself as a non-military system. The system had no significant population and an ageing infrastructure. StarCitizen:Joona Tzur (elected Governor in 2903) used Severus location advantage. The planetary infrastructure with his abandoned military facilities and hangars. He successfully attracted space industry companies to the planet and invested in leisure infrastructure. Tzur also convinced the StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo to host the event which boosted the tourism sector. The Senate recognized Severus in StarCitizen:2937. His first senator is StarCitizen:Janna Thurville, daughter of Joona Tzur.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

Kiel II
A vacant rocky planet with a thin atmosphere. Even though it's unsuitable for terraforming, the StarCitizen:UEE has prohibited corporations from StarCitizen:mining the planet.
Severus : Kiel III
A terraformed terrestrial planet that served as the hub of operations for the system, though the planet's military status was downgraded when tensions were eased after the StarCitizen:Messer Era. Severus had difficulty attracting settlers and businesses to this formerly fortified system, but has been enjoying a recent population boom thanks to the recent Imperial recognition. StarCitizen:Eri City hosted the 2946 StarCitizen:Intergalactic Aerospace Expo.
