Owner History

Planetary Description

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 War. 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.

History

The 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 Warships 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. In future years, the encounter at Malagrotta and subsequent battle would be known as the Malagrotta Affair.

Independence & Occupation

By the Jihad, the Malagrotta and nearby worlds were suffering from plague of pirate raids. Finding that the Federated Suns government was not meeting the needs of her people on the periphery border. Malagrotta Combat Region & Government of Malagrotta brokered deal with its neighbors forming the Malagrotta Cooperative in March 19th, 3073.[24] The Malagrotta was made the new nation's capital world, as when it was capital of FedSun's Combat Region.

However, in 3075, one of the Pirate bands that Malagrotta government had issued a Letter of Marques, Death's Consorts, found its leader dead in March 22nd. Then moved with its new leader, to over throw the Malagrotta Cooperative government in violent coup.[25][26] By the 25th of October the Death's Consorts had completed their coup, with the new pirate leader Gary Tiqualme publicly declaring himself to be the new ruler of the Cooperative.[27][28]
