Planetary History
Reunification War
During the Reunification War Oriente was one of several worlds within the Free Worlds League that prisoners captured during the war between the Star League and the Magistracy of Canopus where prisoners were interned. On Oriente these prisoners included twenty five Canopians captured during the highly successful raid on Meadowvale by mercenary units employed by the Magistracy Armed Forces. While troublesome prisoners were interned in prisons, the majority of the internment facilities resembled military barracks, and with the Canopians lacking any of the paperwork or identification required for interstellar travel conditions were rather relaxed. While prisoner rosters were taken and checked, the Canopians were given access to sports, leisure and education facilities, as well as a small stipend. Many of the MAF officers actually found themselves being invited by the local military and nobility to soirees and events where the Canopians were the guest of honor. This was tacitly - or possibly actively - encouraged by Captain-General Marion Marik as both a demonstration to the Canopians of the benefits of life available under the Star League and as a reminder to First Lord Ian Cameron of the benefits of applying a carrot to the Periphery nations, rather than a stick. Many of the Canopian prisoners who returned to the Magistracy after the war became active and vocal supporters of integration with the Star League as a result of their humane treatment during the war.[17][18]
Jihad
In early March 3071 Prince Kirc Cameron-Jones of Regulus ordered Regulan forces to attack Oriente, in a bid to kill or destroy both the false Thomas Marik and Duke Christopher Halas.[19] The attack group dispatched to attack Oriente was defeated in the Oriente system on the 11th of April; the heavy AeroSpace and naval resistance offered by the Oriente forces, centered around the Thera-class fighter carrier the FWLS Santorini, was able to prevent the Regulan forces from achieving their goal.[19]
The Santorini would be crippled later in the Jihad, when naval forces from the Word of Blake used the Zechetinu-class FWLS Acari as a Trojan horse, allowing them to raid the Oriente system and strike at the Santorini directly on the 12th of March 3079.[20]
