Orionis 52 is
binary system in the Betelgeuse Region consisting of two white/blue A class stars
separated by an average distance of 100 AU. The system contains vast
amounts of valuable elements used building interstellar ships.
During the early period of colonization in the Betelgeuse Region
the system was ignored and viewed as just another inhabitable
system. Once the Orion Alliance began its rise to power
they looked closer at the 52 Orionis System discovering it
contained large supplies of ship building elements. The
Orion Alliance wanted to colonize numerous systems in the
Betelgeuse Region, they needed an ample fleet to accomplish
their goal, 52 Orionis and its resources were the catalyst that
drove them forward.
The Orion Alliance constructed a large ship building facility in
orbit around planet Ab, this facility in conjunction with mining
operations in the system supplied the Alliance's armada.
When resistance factions started rising up against the Orion
Alliance, one of their first targets was 52 Orionis, they knew
they could limit the Alliance by cutting off their supply of
ships. The 52 Orionis Battle was a 3 day siege of the
facility orbiting planet Ab which the resistance movement
ultimately took control of.
