'''Colonia''' is an [[Independent]] system in the [[Colonia Region]] within the [[Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm]]. It is approximately 22,000 light years away from the [[Core Systems]]. For a while, it was the most remotely inhabited [[star system]] from [[Sol]].

== History ==
The non-descriptive system designated Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 came to humanity's attention after [[Jaques Station]] arrived there in May 3302.

=== Jaques Station ===
Jaques Station was the only space station equipped for continuous star travel. After a successful [[Community Goals|community goal]] to provide the station with fuel it attempted an extreme long-range jump from Gliese 1269 to [[Beagle Point]] on 21 May 3302. The station was forced off-course by severe technical failures caused by a contraband cache of [[Thargoid Sensor]]s ([[Unknown Artefact]] interference). The station's drives malfunctioned during the jump and it stranded in Eol Prou RS-T d3-94. Jaques Station was miraculously located on 29 June 3302. It was restored to partial functionality within a week thanks to a massive emergency aid convoy assembled by independent pilots. This community goal to provide Jaques Station with repair materials succeeded, but Jaques had no plans to retry the jump to Beagle Point.

=== Settlement ===
The first permanent settlement in the system, Colonia Hub was constructed on the surface of Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 2 a (now known as Colonia 2 a), and inaugurated on September 9, 3302. It became the headquarters of the [[Colonia Council]]. It was the global reward for a [[Community Goals|community goal]]. This marked the beginning of [[human]] colonization of the Colonia Nebula and wider Colonia Region. Colonia also contains Holloway Biology Centre, the headquarters of the [[Holloway Bioscience Institute]].

=== Megamarket and beacons ===
A megamarket opened in Jaques Station on 20 August 3312 to mark the 10 year celebrations of the station.<ref name=":0">[https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/colonia-celebrations-conclude-with-megamarket-opening Colonia Celebrations Conclude with Megamarket Opening] - Galnet, 20 Augustus 3312</ref> Six [[Tourist Beacon|tourist beacons]] about the history of the region were added to [[Colonia]], [[Carcosa]], Einheriar, [[Tir]], [[Luchtaine]] and Blua Eaec WW-E c14-1293.<ref name=":0" />

== Naming ==
The Eol Prou Nebula was submitted as a point of interest to the Galactic Mapping Project on July 1, 3302, by [https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/116450-Information-The-Galactic-Mapping-Project-amp-Expedition-Hub?p=4178612&viewfull=1#post4178612 CMDR Diocles Asterous (aka Diostar)], with a placeholder name of "Colonia" being suggested by CMDR Erimus Kamzel, the Galactic Mapping Project's founder. The name was quickly adopted by the exploration community and [[Universal Cartographics]] officially changed the system's name on October 25, 3302.

== Population ==
Colonia's population has grown rapidly since Jaques Station was rediscovered. It was originally only 750 during most of 3302, consisting of the crew of the station itself. Since then, the system's population has been recorded as expanding to 60,000 by early 3303, 200,000 by June 24, 3303, 400,000 by September 26, 3303, 450,000 by January 11, 3304, and 583,869 by May 20, 3307. GalNet has reported on Colonia's population boom.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/594ce8d6d5ea2d1035329888 GalNet: Galactic News: Colonia Population Boom]</ref>

== Travel to Colonia ==
The Colonia system is exactly 22,000.46 ly away from [[Sol]]. To facilitate travel and trade between the [[Core Systems]] and Colonia, a network of 17 inhabited systems with 20 ports was constructed between them, forming the [[Colonia Connection Highway]]. Neutron stars in the [[Neutron Highway]] along the route can be fuel scooped for [[FSD Supercharging]], reducing overall travel times significantly.

Quickest times from Sol to Colonia have improved drastically as new ships are released. Times have gone from 1 hour 17 minutes 16 seconds in the [[Anaconda]] by CMDR Steve Falken<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9IbmeHU4eE New double-engineered FSDs = new time record (1h 17m 16s)] - CMDR Steve Falken - Youtube 21 Nov 2021</ref>, to 59 minutes 9 seconds in the [[Mandalay]] by CMDR Goofierknot<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZFZ1MwuhS8 <nowiki>Sol to Colonia [Former World Record] (59:09) - Elite Dangerous</nowiki>] - Goofierknot - Youtube - 31 May 2025</ref>, and to 39 minutes 55 seconds in the [[Caspian Explorer]] by CMDR Steve Falken<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b9-0LWYzlg Sol to Colonia Caspian Speed Run (39m 55s)] - CMDR Steve Falken - YouTube - 5 Dec 2025</ref>.
