Fira (fi-rah) is planet system orbiting a yellow
g-class star in the Betelgeuse Region.
Fira's primary world is one the more successful terraforming
projects ever finished. During the height of the Orion
Alliance, when the Betelgeuse Region was thick with Orion
Alliance governments and societies, colonists searched for world
that that could free of the repressive government structures
that were based around Orion Alliance beliefs.
Fira was a world often
considered too small, and not habitable enough for any large
scale settlements, the planet was forgotten about in a region
full of populated worlds. This made Fira the perfect
choice to undergo a secret terraforming project. The
project included warming up the poles to increase the amount of
surface water and boost the pre-existing oxygen levels.
Secretly, free from
the Orion Alliance regime, a society began to grow on Fira.
Though the planet's freedom was short lived, as uprisings
against the Orion Alliance governments started to spread across
the Betelgeuse Region, supporters of the Orion Alliance
discovered Fira and started escaping there in large numbers to
avoid persecution on their home worlds.
Tensions quickly rose
against the original settlers and the new Orion Alliance
immigrants, this would turn into violence that would last for
decades. Peace agreements between the various groups were
eventually reached, leaving Fira one of the last surviving
worlds where Orion Alliance beliefs are still practiced.
