The Hoth system is a sovereign nation currently existing only inside a number of colony ships wandering through space, looking for a place to settle. Its name comes from the home planet of its citizens, Hoth, from the Star Wars galaxy.

History

The Hothian Exodus

Fifty-seven years after the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire, a group of former officers of the New Republic formerly residents of Hoth, the sixth planet of a system with the same name and the site of the famous Battle of Hoth, left aboard a colony ship, bound for the undiscovered depths of the Unknown Regions.

The First Settling

During the course of their travels, they encountered a lush tropical planet previously uncharted by the New Republic. Strangely enough, all of the plant life on this world had blue pigmentation instead of the normal green chlorophyll found almost everywhere else. The Hothians settled and built a large town, hoping to found a new colony there. Also on the system was a long-abandoned base once used temporarily by a doomed task force of clone troopers during the Clone Wars. The remains of their campsite indicated they had been defeated by the enemy and the camp abandoned. The colonists found in the camp plans for weapons, armor, vehicles, and starships and scientists are currently attempting to update and modify the plans for mass production.

Unfortunately, within six months of arriving on the blue planet the Hothians discovered that the sun the planet orbits gives off highly poisonous forms of radiation only usable for energy by blue-pigmented plants, which explained why all the plants were this color. Hothian scientists later concluded that some sort of energy mining on the sun thousands of years ago caused the radiation. Nevertheless, cancer rates had gone up fiftyfold, and the colonists abandoned the planet and continued their wanderings in space.

During this time, the colonists must have inadvertantly left their galaxy and entered another one not yet discovered by the Republic but, as they would soon find out, highly populated and industrialized, and with many similarities, including the human species.

Zeta Eridani

They happened upon a remote sector of space called Zeta Eridani. Controlled by a number of large conglomerates including Xenasia, Reploid Rebelion, and Jellyantica, it was a thriving hub of commerce and energy production filled mostly with gas giants. The Hothian refugees contacted the regional leaders and attempted to negotiate a permanent ground-based residence. The negotiations took a number of weeks, during which the Hothians learned much about other regions of space, galactic superpowers, and the history that preceded them from citizens aboard Starbase Zeta, the central space station for the entire region. The negotiations between the leaders fell through, however, and the colonists left Zeta Eridani and moved on, along with two others, the nation Certifiable Psychos and its offshoot entity, Idiot Worshipers. Shortly after, a fuel malfunction on Starbase Zeta destroyed the station, and Zeta Eridani's economy collapsed. Today, the station is no more and most of its leaders have moved on.

The Second Settling

The wandering Hothians then happened upon a small, blue planet ripe for colonization but as of yet untouched. Together with Certifiable Psychos and Idiot Worshipers, they colonized it, and for a number of years thrived on its surface. During this time, there were some negotiations regarding the young nation The Flaccid Phallus claiming an area of the planet, but disinterest broke the deals and the Flaccid Phallus disbanded. Meanwhile, the Hothians began building military and attempted to created a hireable mercenary army, but, due to internal conflicts, the project was scrapped. The three colonist nations decided it was time to go their seperate ways and abandoned the planet to some other master. Certifiable Psychos and Idiot Worshipers migrated to the Rejected Realms, an extremely populous space sector, where they languished and eventually disbanded.

Present Day

Shortly after abandoning the Second Settling, the Hoth system was ovetaken by a group of disgruntled Gammoreans in an internal military coup. These Gammoreans immediately clamped down completely on all personal freedoms, and landed the fleet of colony ships in a remote sector called People Opposing Ordinary People, or commonly known as POOP. They remain there to this day, though a stong underground resistance movement is slowly developing.

Geography

Currently the entire population of the Hoth system lives inside the steel hulls of a number of massive colony ships, so the geography consists simply of metal-plated corridors.

Government

When the colonists originally left their frigid homeworld, they adopted a government amongst themselves very similar to that of the New Republic from whence they had come- a democracy where issues are voted on by the population. But the newly elected leaders were more corrupt than the others had believed and quickly used their position to gain more power. Another faction rose up to usurp them, and then more and more coups took place, while the government became progressively more tyrannical.

Recently, a government composed mainly of Gammoreans, a hot-blooded piglike species, has taken power. Quality of life has greatly eroded under this new regime and the citizens are eager to stage an uprising against the usurpers.

Leaders

The Hoth system is now led by an anonymous council of Gammoreans. The former leaders, now imprisoned, are listed below.

Armed Forces

The military of the Hoth system is divided into two entities: the Army, which encompasses all ground-based and low-altitude units, and the Navy, the space-based division.

Hothian Army

Currently the Hothian army has been disbanded by the Gammorean overseers.

Hothian Navy

Currently, the Hoth system has no space defenses, either, aside from a handful of unarmed colony ships.
