The Malagrotta system is home to a titanium-rich planetoid, the airless moon of Fontana. The system has been heavily contested nearly from the time of settlement, a dispute which helped provoke the Reunification Wars. During the Succession Wars, Malagrotta was the site of many Taurian incursions, despite the distance from the Taurian/Federated Suns border.

In 3062, Malagrotta is garrisoned by the Malagrotta CMM, and mining operations are handled by the Grex-Dex mining concern.

[edit] Malagrotta Affair

Though colonized first by the Taurian Concordat, mining rights to the moon of Fontana were granted to both Taurian and Davion mining concerns following the Omsol Accord in 2511. The treaty also stipulated that neither the Concord nor the Federated Suns could deploy their militaries to the system.

Separate mining operations were both successful for more than 60 years when, during the escalating hostilities leading to the Reunification War, a small Taurian flotilla entered the system accidentally. Davion mining crews immediately notified a Davion fleet waiting in a nearby system. The Davion fleet jumped into the system in response, destroying two Wagon Wheel-class ships and capturing a third vessel.

Several months later, Protector Caterina Calderon offered an apology. However, the apology came too late to prevent the oncoming invasion.
