Hevelius, system

Union System in the Canes Venatici II Dwarf Galaxy. Surveyed and claimed for the Union in 4970 OTT

A Union expedition under the lead of Captain Bernie Bluewall (Quadiped ) reached the  system in 4970 OTT after traveling for 8 years. The system was designated Hevelius, system. A one planet star system with a M4 V Red Dwarf. The terrestrial planet was named 'Johannes Hevelius ' is a cold dry world but had enough ice to replenish fuel. A permanent base was established on JH, planet. The settlement Joh-Heve developed into a major Union metropolis.

The system has been connected via GalNet to Union Core since 4970 OTT and was sporadically visited by Supply transports, bringing supplies, equipment and volunteer personnel. Thirteen supply convoys reached the system in the 80 years before the Ancient Gate Network was discovered. The friendly Zibalek kept close contact and became a good trade partner, even before they joined the Union in 4977 OTT. The Eternals established a Cube of Contact in the system (on the planet). The convoys brought among other things components for several space forts and System Defense Platforms. In 5006, the work on a space born ship yard had begun and the Hevelius-Shipyards begun operation in 5012. The Shipyard churned out Wolfcraft fighters first, then a large number of Destroyers and in 5016 OTT the first Canes Venatici built Battle ship was completed.The USS Canes Venatici The ship yard also refitted and upgraded the Cheng Ho class ships that remained. (Distinct upgrade makes the Cheng Ho class ships Canes Class)
