System Information
X:Y Coordinates-475.363 : 216.569[e]

The Slewis system was home to at least one habitable world and, as of 3145, was an independent system in the Periphery located close to the borders of the Lyran Commonwealth, Rim Collection, and Rim Territories.[1][2]

System Description

Slewis is located near the Kerman and Rosetta systems.[3][4]

System History

The Slewis system had either been colonized by the Rim Worlds Republic by the end of the Age of War, or was an already-inhabited system that was incorporated into the Timbuktu Province of the Republic during this era.[5][6]

Planetary History

Reunification War

In 2575, one of the closing years of the Age of War, civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[38]

The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic.[39] Assigned to the conquest of Slewis in 2590 was three regiments from the Second Marik Auxiliary Corps: the Second Defenders of Andurien, the Second Regulan Hussars, and the Second Brigade of the Fusiliers of Oriente. Despite the active and hostile resistance faced on many worlds, Slewis was remarkably easy for the FWLM forces; a largely agrarian world with an economy based around agriculture and logging, the leadership on Slewis had little interest in the civil war, and when the Marik forces landed in May the local leadership simply acknowledged the presence of the new garrisons and calmly continued their farming and logging operations.[40]

Slewis was the last world in the Timbuktu Province to be conquered by the SLDF; by the time the FWLM left Slewis in 2593, the only casualties they had taken were as a result of hunting accidents.[40]

Dark Age

The efforts to claim Hunter's Paradise and the colonization of Able's Glory plunged the Rim Collection into deep debt. In protest, Slewis and Caldarium broke away from the Rim Collection. However, the long-term benefits of the colonization efforts outweighed the loss of the two systems.[41]
