The '''Colonia Council''' is a cooperative [[:Category:Minor Factions|minor faction]] created by the first settlers of the [[Colonia Region]]. It was formally founded on September 9, 3302 with the inauguration of Colonia Hub, the first permanent settlement in the [[Colonia]] system after the arrival of [[Jaques Station]]. Rather than acting as a unifying, interstellar government for the growing number of colonies in the Colonia Region, the Colonia Council limits itself to managing the expansion of local infrastructure and promoting colonization from the [[Core Systems]]. | The '''Colonia Council''' is a cooperative [[:Category:Minor Factions|minor faction]] created by the first settlers of the [[Colonia Region]].

The construction of Colonia Hub and the establishment of the Colonia Council was the culmination of months of effort by hundreds of independent pilots who flocked to the aid of [[Jaques Station]] following its failed attempt to jump to [[Beagle Point]] on May 19, 3302. For months after the station's rediscovery in June 3302, it stood alone as the only port in the entire [[Colonia Region]], and did not regain all of its functionality and services until the successful completion of a four-week resource drive that spanned July and August.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5790e2e29657ba710399cd7d GalNet: Community Goal: Repair Jaques Station]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57a320d79657baa84c34e14c Galactic News: Jaques Station Making a Comeback]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/57aaf4259657ba424e876c6b Galactic News: Jaques's Campaign Concludes]</ref> | The construction of Colonia Hub and the establishment of the Colonia Council was the culmination of months of effort by hundreds of independent pilots who flocked to the aid of [[Jaques Station]] following its failed attempt to jump to [[Beagle Point]] on May 19, 3302.
