Planetary History

Early History

During the era of the Terran Alliance Ares was one of the founding members of the Capellan Co-Prosperity Sphere negotiated by the Capellan ruler Jurdan Aris between 2220 and 2225.[14][38] In exchange for the continued free and open exchange of information with Capella, Ares and the other nations of the pact - which included Kurragin and Bandora - would come to the defense of Capella if it found itself under attack from hostile parties.[38]

That prophesied attack came in 2225 when Emmanuel Denevieve Brunn, the third Premier of the Sarna Supremacy, responded to fears that the growing strength of the Capellan Republic threatened the Supremacy, launched an attack on Capella. Just five days after landing and securing key installations across Capella, Brunn found forces from Ares and the other Co-Prosperity Sphere members arriving in orbit, and just two weeks later the Sarna forces had been driven off Capella.[38]

As a member of the Capellan Co-Prosperity Sphere, Ares became a de facto member of the Capellan Hegemony when the Hegemony came into being in 2270.[15]

Ares is the site where the Ares Conventions were signed on June 13, 2412.[39]

Succession Wars

During the Succession Wars, Ares was a commercial free port. The world was known for its exemptions from local import duties, which in turn stimulated trade. As a result Ares was one of the few smaller worlds that was prosperous.[2] Ares was also the birth place of Talon Zahn.[40]

Jihad

In the Jihad era, it also housed a CCAF Regional Training Facility that trained tankers and infantry.[3]
