Kilian system

The Kilian system is a single star system distinguished as the largest system in the United Empire of Earth, hosting 14 planetary bodies, and home to both headquarters of the United Empire of Earth Navy and United Empire of Earth Marines.^[1]

Kilian was discovered in 2463 during the early explorations of the United Nations of Earth, the system was used as a forward base during times of exploration. As power moved to Terra, Kilian's centralized position between the Sol system and Terra system made it a strategically valuable system for the UEE Military. Both the UEE Navy and Marines colonized planets in the system, with the UEE moving its main shipbuilding operations from Magnus to the system in 2631 where it remains presently.^[2]^[3]

Due to both the Navy headquarters on MacArthur (Kilian V) and Marine headquarters on Corin (Kilian IX) Kilian is one of the most secure systems in the verse'. The countless number of military barracks, training facilities and shipyards draws large amounts of industry and trade to the system, with many corporations establishing locations on Keene (Kilian VII). As a collateral development a large civilian population has settled on Keene and Osha (Kilian VI), with Keene being fully represented in the UEE Senate.
