Template:Quote Maia is a system in the Pleiades Nebula in the Inner Orion Spur. It is the location of Obsidian Orbital, constructed with the efforts of the galactic community and one of the first major settlements established outside the Core Systems.[1][2][3] The system was formerly home to the Engineer and Thargoid expert Professor Ishmael Palin, who transferred his operation to the Arque system in July 3305 after a Thargoid attack on Palin Research Centre.
History
Maia drew increased public interest as Thargoid Sensors and Thargoid Probes were discovered there and in surrounding systems. Following encounters with Thargoid vessels, journalist Kelvin Masters of the Imperial Herald said on August 25, 3303: "The barnacles seem to indicate that the Thargoids were in Maia and Merope long before we were. For all we know, humanity has expanded into what the Thargoids see as their territory."[4]
On July 18, 3305, the Thargoids launched a renewed offensive in the Pleiades with a focus on Maia. Palin Research Centre was attacked, and Professor Palin and his staff were stranded aboard the megaship Carson's Spring, which was attacked by Thargoids.[5] On July 22, Carson's Spring was able to resume its journey and arrived in the Arque system. Professor Palin moved his staff and equipment to Abel Laboratory on Arque 4 E, and resumed offering his services there.[6]
