System Information

The Portland system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as at 3145 was located in the Fronc Reaches.[1][2]

System Description

The Portland system is located near the Independence and Rockwellawan systems.[3]

System History

The Portland system was colonised by the Taurian Concordat during the Star League era,[4] becoming a part of the Brinton Union.[5] The Concordat was forced to abandon the system[4] during the Second Succession War[6][7][8][9] but the system was subsequently recolonised.[4]

Planetary History

Portland was originally an agricultural world settled during the Star League era, and exported food to support a number of nearby Taurian Concordat worlds. As the Taurian economy suffered during the Succession Wars the Concordat was forced to abandon the world, but Portland was resettled by the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus as a part of the Treaty of Taurus and was incorporated into the New Colony Region. When the New Colony Region declared itself independent in 3066 Portland joined the newly-formed Fronc Reaches. As with the populations of the other Fronc Reaches worlds, the inhabitants of Portland were hopeful that trade agreements would lead to prosperity; in the case of Portland, the locals were keen to begin exporting food once more to those same Taurian worlds Portland had supported centuries before.[4]

As with many other worlds within the Reaches, Portland found itself suffering from pirate attacks in the early years of the new realm, with shipping between Fronc and Portland being targeted by bandits in the late 3060s, leading to speculation that at least one pirate band was based on a nearby world or asteroid.[39]
