Eranin: Difference between revisions

'''Eranin''' is an [[Alliance|Allied]] system in the [[Core Systems]] in the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. The system's capital city is [[Fort Bradley]] on the [[Earth-like World]] Azeban, which is also home to the city of [[New Fresno]]. Eranin is the exclusive purveyor of the [[List of Rare Commodities|Rare Commodity]] [[Eranin Pearl Whisky]], which is available at [[Azeban City]].

Eranin was originally ruled by the [[Federation]] until the Eranin Peoples Party led it to [[Independent|independence]] on September 20, 3270.<ref>[[GalNet/3300/September#Cold War Ready to Ignite?|GalNet: Cold War Ready to Ignite?]]</ref> In September 3300, celebrations of the 30-year anniversary of Eranin's independence escalated into a brief civil war between the Eranin Peoples Party and the Federation-backed i Bootis Democrats. In the years afterward, Eranin was overtaken by another faction, the Terran Colonial Forces, and joined the Alliance.

In September 3300, the Eranin Peoples Party, the minor faction that controlled Eranin at the time, held a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of Eranin's independence from the [[Federation]]. Although Eranin and [[Wyrd]] celebratory liquor was officially banned in Federation territory on September 22 in retaliation, [[Smuggler|smuggling]] the goods to Federal stations became a lucrative trade. As tensions soared, Federal [[Congressman]] [[Silvia Calhoon]] and [[Alliance]] [[Ambassador]] [[Eliza Fernandez]] attempted to mediate between the Eranin Peoples Party and the Federation.

Rebels aligned with the Federal minor faction i Bootis Democrats then instigated a [[civil war]] against the Eranin Peoples Party, in protest of the celebrations and in the hope of retaking the system for the Federation. It was suspected that the rebels were being supplied with weapons by Federal special operations teams, but no proof of this relationship could be found. Meanwhile, it was rumored that the Eranin Peoples Party was secretly receiving financial support from the [[Empire|Imperial]] [[Senator]] [[Denton Patreus]]. After peace talks failed, war was declared on September 26 and fighting rapidly spread to neighboring Federal and independent systems such as i Bootis, Wyrd, LHS 3262, Opala, Bolg, [[Asellus Primus]], and [[LP 98-132]].

Independent pilots flocked to the area upon hearing of the conflict, which became known as the Anniversary War, and took part in both trade and combat initiatives. Demand was high for medical supplies in [[Azeban City]] for the treatment of individuals wounded in the fighting, and for weapons on the [[black market]] for use by the rebel forces. [[Faulcon DeLacy]] also held a rare 50% off sale on their ships, resulting in many pilots who had been [[trader]]s switching to [[Cobra MkIII]]s to serve as combatants. In the end, the Eranin Peoples Party triumphed and Eranin's independence was preserved.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/eranin-communication-help-the-ongoing-struggle-for-independence.42428/ Frontier Forums: Eranin Communication: Help the Ongoing Struggle for Independence]</ref>
