'''Sirius''' is | '''Sirius''' is an [[independent]] system in the [[Core Systems]] within the [[Inner Orion Spur]]. The system is [[Permits|permit-locked]], and the permit can be obtained by becoming Allied with the [[Sirius Corporation]] minor faction in any system where it has a presence. Sirius is the headquarters of the Sirius Corporation, the first and most powerful of the [[Mega Corporation|megacorporations]], and also the first system to have been colonised entirely by a commercial enterprise. | ||
== History == | |||
Sirius was colonised in 2339 by the first entirely corporate colonial mission, which founded [[Sirius Corporation]]. In short order, Sirius Corp exploited the system's rich energy resources and became the premier supplier of drive fuel throughout human space, as well as the first of the megacorporations.<ref>Tourist Spot 0202, "Sirius Colonisation"</ref> | |||
On February 18, 3307, Sirius Corporation CEO [[Li Yong-Rui]] announced that the Sirius system would host the first [[Galactic Summit]] between the superpowers. The decision to hold the event in Sirius was met with protest from the [[Alliance]] and [[Empire]] due to the system's location deep within [[Federation]] territory, but Yong-Rui insisted that Sirius Corp was wholly independent and attendees of the conference would be protected by diplomatic immunity.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/602e655b212ead5a6170fcd4 GalNet: Rare Goods Required for Galactic Summit]</ref> A [[megaship]] named Spirit of Laelaps also arrived in Sirius and entered the orbit of the gas giant Waypoint to serve as logistics support. | |||
