TORIN PRIME
Located in the GJ-229 Torin System of the Outer Rim Territories' Tartarus Sector, the planet Torin Prime was colonized by Paraguay prior to 2104. However, following the formation of the United Americas in 2104, of which Paraguay was now a part, Torin Prime refused to comply with new colonial laws and, in 2106, a rebel faction known as the J'har rose to prominence, sparking a civil war.
Although it was nearly eight decades ago, Torin Prime has never really recovered from its failed succession attempt from the United Americas (see Governments and Corporations). Sanctions keep the colony from thriving like it used to. The local government is prohibited from arming itself, relying instead on direct protection from the UAAC. To the locals, it feels like they are living in a police state. Intelligence reports suggest the J’Har rebel faction is on the rise again, organizing and growing in strength as they plan a coup, this time not just for Torin Prime, but for the entire Tartarus Sector. UA intelligence believes this new revolt will be quietly backed by the UPP, and the Liberty Echo Fleet is preparing to respond accordingly.
