HIP 87621
HIP 87621 is an independent star system owned by the October Consortium. It is located in the Inner Orion Spur roughly 400 ly from Sol.
History
HIP 87621 was shrouded in mystery for a long time. It gained widespread attention in 3011 due to the disappearance of Terri Tora[1] and the subsequent discovery of unusual exobiological readings from long-range scans.[2]
Following mounting pressure from the three superpowers and the general public, the October Consortium granted exclusive access to licensed Commanders on 13 Nov 3311.[3] Access remains denied to civilian, corporate, and government entities.[3]
Commanders delivered exobiological data to Exogene Sciences in HIP 87621.[4] This data confirmed a new species of flora called Radicoida Unica on several planetary bodies.[4] The Radicoida Unica has unique bio-chemical properties that are being researched.[4]
The battle for HIP 87621
On 27 Nov 3311, the powers issued a call to arms for a military campaign to secure exclusive control over Radicoida unica in the 49 systems.[4] The powers issued adversarial statements. A spokesperson for Denton Patreus stated: “Imperial interests cannot allow rivals to dictate the future of HIP 87621. Order must be maintained, and only Imperial governance has the authority to do so.”[4] A staff member of Nakato Kaine said: “Members of the Alliance will not sit idle while bullies seek to snatch a legally claimed system by force. We will defend equal access and resist attempts at domination.”[4]
Allied, Federal, Imperial and Independent powers deployed their fleets to preserve their interests and freedom from superpower control of the 49-system enclave around HIP 87621.[4] This is the biggest military mobilization since the Second Thargoid War.[4] The winning power will benefit from the first application of the new technology.[4]
