History

The Republic

Once a great colony during the rule of the Republic, Reach II was represented by Senator Kraleth (who also represented the system). When the Republic fell, Senator Kraleth was executed on the grounds that he was opposing the New Empire. The new Senator, a puppet for the Empire was an idiotic fool that came from Reach III. He was later removed from office when the Imperial Senate was disillusioned.

The Empire

The Empire brought a huge amount of prosperity to Reach II and the Raegent System. Close to one billion inhabitants before, during the Republic, turned into four billion. When the Empire fell, a Star Destroyer entered the system an Reach II allied itself with the Vast Empire.

The Vast Empire

Still under the Vast Empire’s control, Reach II is a prospering colony. The Vast Empire Naval Academy was moved to this planet during the Vast Empire’s rule.

The Army’s quick response team, Camp Guardian, Camp Sheffield, and support craft are also located on the outskirts of Londes. Londes currently has one of the largest tunnel-transport systems on Reach II, and is the drop location for Vast Empire Navy recruits. Once they land, they will be transported to the training center on the same island.

Londes city is dotten with skyscrapers, and currently has a population of one billion sentients. The species are 98% human, and 2% other. While the Vast Empire has a major presence in Londes, many freelance groups operate or have stores out of Londes. Freelance groups such as Czerka Corporation and many motor companies.

The 22nd Army Airspeeder Squadron is stationed at Lowndes, and it operates with the Surface Fleet.

Raegent Front

Raegent Front, named after the Raegent System, is a huge grouping of buildings that came to be the Reach II Capitol Building. The name “Raegent Front” was derived when a civil war broke through the planet, and one side took shelter at the building. The building was referred to as a “Front”. When the opposing side invaded, they were able to fight them off. Close to three speeder squadrons are stationed at the Raegent Front, one of them is the 10th Speeder Squad.

Sheffield Island

Along with the local agencies LBFI and LPS, they are funded by the Vast Empire Intelligence, which has a base in the same area as the LBFI, LBFT, and LPS.

Surface Fleet

The Surface Fleet currently has 112 ships. They are all run-down, and are at least twenty plus years old. The government maintains the fleet for odd reasons, such as the need for transportation when airspeeders are impossible, and also to be able to hit targets that are in the air when airspeeders are again, impossible to use. The navy is left over from what the Empire had built on the planet, and since the Empire didn't have that large of presence in the system, the fleet was rather small. Over thirty ships have been decommissioned since the Empire has left and the Vast Empire took place.

Out of the 112 ships, the Raegent Department of the Navy (RDN) has nineteen destroyers, ten frigates, eight submarine-class patrol vessels, and seventy-five transport-ferries.
