View source for Idris system

'''Idris''' is a five-planet system whose role in the [[First Tevarin War]] would forever change the [[UPE]]. The system's only inhabited planet, [[Locke|Locke (Idris IV)]], was experiencing a population boom before it was captured by the [[Tevarin]] in [[2542]]. Two years later, the operation to retake Locke almost failed until a young Captain [[Ivar Messer]] took command and led UPE forces to victory. The battle turned the tide of the war and is considered Messer's first step on the path to becoming [[Imperator]].

In 2493, [[Terrell Dorazio]] slowly piloted his exploration ship, the [[Ika’Roa]], across a sector of [[Rhetor]]. A student at [[Mentor University]], Dorazio and a friend visited this section of space to ingest hallucinogens and stare at [[Rhetor V]] as it traveled through a picturesque portion of its orbit. Mid-experience, Dorazio became convinced that his ship’s scanner had picked up an anomaly, but his friend assured him it was just part of the hallucination. The experience stuck with Dorazio. After graduation, the novice explorer returned to that sector and spent weeks scanning it. Eventually, he found a [[Jump Point|jump point]] into an undiscovered system and named it Idris after the friend who insisted nothing was there. [[UNE]] pathfinders explored Idris to discover one potentially habitable planet and a mineral rich protoplanet. They quickly claimed the system and rushed to terraform Idris IV. Once habitable, the government declared Idris IV a [[Recommended Growth Center]] in 2533. Its population swelled and businesses flocked to the system as it became a symbol for Humanity’s ability to quickly colonize a new system. No one could have predicted that making Idris IV conducive to [[Human]] life would also make it a prime target for an alien invasion.
