Despite its relatively short distance from the Empire's capital of [[Achenar]], Cemiess was left undeveloped until the 31st century. In 3055, the Empire drew up a colonial charter for Cemiess, but colonisation efforts stalled for years even though [[Emperor]] [[Gaylen Trasken Duval]] approved the plans in 3061, his final official act before his death. The delays gave the [[Federation]] the opportunity to make its own play for Cemiess. Finally, in 3080, the Empire attempted terraforming Cemiess 2 to cope with the onset of a massive migration wave from [[independent]], [[Galactic Cooperative]], and Federal worlds to Imperial space, which also brought an end to Federal ambitions in the system.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0145</ref> Imperial colonists then landed on [[Emerald]] in Cemiess in 3101, but this instigated a minor war with the Federation over control of the system, as Federal officials suspected that the Empire was responsible for the assassination of Governor Raul "Proxmire" Santorini of [[Tau Ceti]] in 3098; Santorini had been a vocal opponent of the Empire and had stymied Imperial activities in Cemiess. Federal Admiral [[O'Brien]] landed his own force on Emerald, and the two superpowers grappled for the next three decades. In the end, O'Brien's invasion was defeated and the Imperial XV Fleet was permanently stationed in the system, cementing the Empire's claim.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0195</ref>
Despite its relatively short distance from the Empire's capital of [[Achenar]], Cemiess was left undeveloped until the 31st century. The [[Federation]] planned to begin [[terraforming]] the moon Cemiess 4 a in 3031, but this was stalled by Governor [[Raul Santorini]] of [[Tau Ceti]], an influential and fiscally-conscious [[Congressman]] who saw the project as a waste of money. A renewed colonisation push in 3055 resulted in a colonial charter and the construction of a small outpost in the system, establishing a solid Federal presence, but Santorini again delayed the terraforming mission's funding. The [[Empire]] drew up its own colonial charter for Cemiess that same year, but was similarly unable to set its plans into motion, even after [[Emperor]] [[Gaylen Trasken Duval]] approved the colonisation of Cemiess in 3061, his final official act before his death.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref><ref name="TB0145">Tourist Beacon 0145</ref>
 
In 3080, the Empire finally attempted terraforming Cemiess 2, spurred by the onset of a massive migration wave from [[independent]], [[Galactic Cooperative]], and Federal worlds to Imperial space; the move effectively ended Federal ambitions in the system, and was applauded by Governor Santorini.<ref name="TB0145" /><ref name="EE" /> For unknown reasons, the terraforming of Cemiess 2 was soon dropped in favor of terraforming Cemiess 4 a. The first Imperial colonists landed on the newly-verdant Cemiess 4 a, renamed [[Emerald]], in 3101, but this provoked a minor war with the Federation over control of the system. In addition to the Empire's insult of settling what had once been a prospective Federal colony, the Federation publicly suspected the Empire of assassinating Governor Santorini in 3098 despite the Empire benefitting from the governor's moves to rein in the Federal budget.<ref name="EE" /> Federal Admiral [[O'Brien]] arrived and landed troops on Emerald, and the two superpowers grappled for control of the moon for the next three decades. In the end, O'Brien's invasion was defeated and the Imperial XV Fleet was permanently stationed in the system, cementing the Empire's claim.<ref>Tourist Beacon 0195</ref><ref name="EE" />
