The Marena System

The Marena System consists of one star and two planets, named Delaima and Naivasana. The latter would remain an enclave of imperial radicals before sprouting into the Imperium in 2710 following its official discovery by the NCC Desdemona. The system would retain a small population for much of its history afterwards, owing to the lack of rare resources that can be utilised from the two nearby planets.

A number of Vernhan vessels were spotted around Delaima by 2920 following their disappearance from Titan in 2841, sprouting human development on Delaima. The very recent recolonization of Delaima would lead to the discovery of Vardium, an organic material harder than steel and capable of taking the shape of nearby objects. Vardium entered use in the Sol system in 2949 in everyday applications that require tough substances to be used - by 2950, Starshot Enterprises would reveal the Ankistra, an organic spacecraft capable of taking fire from weapons for up to 10x longer than current-gen vessels.

In 2950 Starshot unveiled Hades shipyards, a group of stations orbiting Delaima - owing to Vardium's shapeshifting ability, many modern vessels (mostly naval) have been shipped to Delaima for upgrades. Such is hoped to be a major point of economic recovery for Marena, although the Republic has expressed concern to Starshot in regards to how long the Vardium supply may last. Projections indicate a resource lifespan of 3,500 years, although figures are uncertain in the wake of an accelerating economy.
