Owner History

Planetary Info

When first settled, Rio was a beautiful world covered in scenic valleys. With little to export, the world instead became known as a prime vacation spot, artists colony, and tri-vid production planet. In 2223 the world joined the Tikonov Union, and when that power merged into the Capellan Confederation, Rio separated and joined the Terran Hegemony. It would become one of the largest centers of fine art, high-end tourism, and film making in the first Star League.

After the fall of the first Star League, the Capellan Confederation and Draconis Combine fought to take the world. The Confederation won in [2806]], but only by using nuclear weapons. The radiation forced most of the population to flee, and in the end the Confederation had taken control of a dead world. This would later be a problem as the Federated Suns realized the system's valuable strategic position for raiding the Confederation. For most of the Succession Wars the AFFS used the world as a strategic jump-off point for raids into the Confederation. In 2980 the CCAF attempted to conquer the world with a large fleet of AeroSpace Fighters and other aerospace assets, but the fleet was soundly defeated. This defeat triggered a reorganization of the CCAF's aerospace arm.[1]
