Template:CelestialInfobox Eotienses A 3 is the only Earth-like world in the Eotienses system. It was terraformed and has a human-breathable atmosphere with indigenous alien life. Senator Denton Patreus' home and the Imperial Museum of Culture are located here.[1]
History
Founding
Terraforming of this planet began in 2288 and was completed in 2312. The first surface settlement was founded on December 21, 2312 by Isabelle Patreus, an ancestor of Denton Patreus, and this date is commemorated by the annual holiday of Planetfall.[2] The city of Port Isabelle, named after Isabelle Patreus, is the planet's capital.[3]
Emancipation crisis
On June 8, 3305, the company Tilbery Construction, based on Eotienses A 3, came under fire from anti-slavery charity Unchain for its purchase of a large shipment of Imperial Slaves. Tilbery Construction CEO Garrett Kline claimed the 4,000 slaves were needed as a workforce to build a new water treatment facility that would serve Port Isabelle, but Unchain insisted that the slaves' contracts could be violated and Tilbery Construction was too inexperienced to manage them.[4] On June 15, Tilbery Construction revealed it was a front for the anti-slavery group Autonomy, which liberated all 4,000 Imperial slaves outside Port Isabelle shortly after their delivery.[3] Unfortunately, by June 22, the forcibly-freed slaves had inundated Port Isabelle, as they lacked food, shelter, income, and the means to return home. Public buildings, such as the Imperial Museum of Culture, were converted into temporary camps, and police and support services struggled to cope. Clashes between the former slaves and local citizens were reported.[5] Princess Aisling Duval, CEO of anti-slavery charity Unchain, condemned Autonomy's actions as reckless, explaining that under Imperial law, manumitting Imperial Slaves required careful monitoring to ensure that they received adequate employment and protection afterwards. Meanwhile, the situation in Port Isabelle remained tense, with the former slaves resorting to begging for food and credits.[6]
