Skadi

Skadi is a star system located in sector grid 1811 in the Kikyo Sector, in the Great Southern Nebula and near the “South Gate” of the Bard Cluster.

The Skadi star system was originally colonized under the control of the Fifth Expeditionary Fleet and protection until YE 29 when the Mishhuvurthyar conquered the Bard Cluster. It was then under the control of the Mishhuvurthyar until their defeat in YE 30.

In YE 30, Skadi was released to the Yamatai Star Empire's control as part of the Intergalactic Armistice Agreement of YE 30 (IAA) signed at the International Relations Conference of YE 30 at the end of the First Mishhuvurthyar War.

After the Mishhuvurthyar were driven off the system was once again under the control of the Yamatai Star Empire. The system was under the control of the Fourth Fleet, and it was re-colonized primarily by former Yamatai Star Empire soldiers. The Colonial Capital was established in the town of Kumano.

In YE 32 the town of Ushizu was attacked by the NMX, the agrarian town of 2,000 suffered a death toll of 1,200 and 600 injured. After the event, the colonial government chose to erect a memorial. A marble statue depicting a typical family of Ushizu, with a plaque in the base. The town people moved to back to Kumano.

Later in YE 32 the colony was abandoned when the NMX forced the Fourth Fleet to have to consolidate its holdings after losing a major portion of their fleet in two engagements. Prior to abandoning it the Fourth Fleet had removed all sensitive equipment but was not able to destroy the structures and equipment left behind.

In YE 39, Task Force 0 was assigned to Skadi to suppress its Rixxikor population before it became a threat to other worlds. With the invention of Nodal Command 2719 and its deployment upon the planet by Nodal Delivery Munition, Type 42s, the Skadi occupation by the Rixxikor was soon ended, with trace amounts of Graxlat surviving. After the Task Force's withdrawal and reassignment to Gashmere, there is no notable Star Army of Yamatai presence in the area.
