Artashia (IPA: /ɑɹˈteɪʒə/, Iquis: Rtāšē [rtɑˈʃe], Artashian: Rtahašai) is a planet in the Coalition of Allied Star Systems, and the homeworld of the human ethno-cultural group of Artashians.
History
A lush world was first discovered in the Artashian Prime system (then only known as SwL-302) in 1632 AAI. It was named Ortagašai in Old Iquis ('blue-green place'), after the blue-green hue of the planet.
The first colony ships arrived on Artashia arrived in 1778 AAI by Hevan pioneers. The untapped resources of Artashia soon attracted many more prospective settlers that the world's population soon reached one million in 1796 AAI.
The Artashian Colonial Authority was established in 1800 AAI, as a neutral representative that sought to mediate disputes between various Hevan nation-states who began to divide up the planet for their own gain. Many treaties were signed to prevent irresponsible ecological abuse.
