Eranin

Eranin is an independent star system. It was ruled by the Federation until the 20th of September, 3270. In 3300, celebrations of the 30 year anniversary of independence escalated into a brief civil war.

In 3303 it has a confederacy government, is part of the Alliance and exploited by Edmund Mahon.

The stations around its terraformed world, /Azeban/, have agriculture economies, while the outlying outpost /Eranin 4 Survey/ has a refinery economy.

The system is home to the rare commodity Eranin Pearl Whisky, which is available at /Azeban City/.

Lore

On revolutionary Eranin the population are expected to perform in weekly parades celebrating their independence from the Federation, even while their leaders ‘redistribute’ the people’s wages into their own back pockets.

Beta

Eranin was the starting system for all players during the Elite Dangerous beta. As an agricultural system it sold agricultural products cheap, and particularly valued farming equipment. A profit could be made by selling Natural Fabrics to I Bootis and bringing Crop Harvesters back. Eranin was regarded as mostly secure, although interdictions were still fairly common.

In September 3300, the Eranin government held a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Eranin's independence from the Federation (and the real-world 30th anniversary of the release of Elite). Eranin and Wyrd celebration liquor was banned in the Federation, and high profits could be made smuggling it into Federation stations. Tensions were high, and Alliance Ambassador Eliza Fernandez attempted to mediate between the Eranin and the Federation.

Federation-aligned rebels in Eranin started a civil war against the ruling independent government, in protest to the celebrations and in the hope of re-conquering the system for the Federation. It was suspected that the rebels were being supplied with weapons by Federation special operations teams, however no concrete proof was exposed. Commanders took part in the conflict through both trading and ship to ship combat. Demand was high for medical supplies in /Azeban City/ for the treatment of individuals wounded in the fighting, and for weapons on the black market for use by the rebel forces.

Faulcon DeLacy held a 50% off sale at that time, resulting in many pilots who had been traders instead buying Cobra MkIIIs to become combat pilots involved in the civil war.

The Eranin Peoples Party won the conflict, defeating the rebels, and remained in control of the system.

Date: 10 September 3301

After all the efforts TCForces showed in the system we slowly got beloved by Eranin Citizens as the only force that is capable keeping pirates at bay. After the war EPP was struggling to maintain even low state of security in system many systems also refused to trade with them because EPP did not meet certain trade agreement criteria because of their political views for that matter EPP could not solve large unemployment of Eranin Citizens and many young people were leaving system for the better life, that's when riots started that something must change and as alternative people demanded that it's time to join the Alliance under TCForces control. When word comes out that Federation factions are attempting to make another conflict in Eranin to take it over TCForces stepped in and made blockade against Federation attempt while EPP was trying to silence people against new idea that they would lose control so slowly with major support of Eranin Citizens, TCForces  decided to make talk with EPP about handover of the control over Eranin system to prevent Eranin to collapse into economic turmoil because of mismanagement that EPP created over the years. This handover was peaceful and non-aggression pact was signed with numerous EPP supporters. Handover went smooth and without casualties. The turmoil was partly enhanced also by Federation because they did not allow nearby federation systems to make any trade agreements with the Eranin and now that TCForces took over the system it opens new doors to prosperity inside Alliance.
