Colonia

Colonia, formerly known as Eol Prou RS-T d3-94, is a system 22,000 Light Years outside of human space, in the midst of the Colonia Nebula of the Colonia Region. It is the current location of Jaques Station, making it one of the most remote star systems from Sol with a space station. A permanent planetary outpost, Colonia Hub, was later constructed, marking the beginning of human colonization of the Colonia Nebula.

Travel

There are planetary outposts in between Sol and the Colonia Region. These form the Colonia Connection Highway. It connects the Core Systems to humanity's first outer colony Colonia, and stretches across 22,000 light years to the fringes of the galactic core.

You can use neutron stars for FSD Supercharging to travel large distances with far fewer jumps via the Neutron Highway.

Population

Colonia's population has grown rapidly since Jaques Station was located. It was originally only 750 during most of 3302, comprising of the crew of the station itself. Since then, the system's population has been recorded as expanding to 60,000 by early 3303, 200,000 by June 24, 3303, and 400,000 by September 26, 3303. Galnet has reported on Colonia's population boom.^[1]

Notes

Jaques Station, the only space station equipped for continuous star travel, attempted an extreme long-range jump to Beagle Point from Gliese 1269 on May 21, 3302, following a successful community goal to provide the station with fuel. Due to Unknown Artefact interference, the station's drives malfunctioned during the jump and it was stranded in Eol Prou RS-T d3-94. A community goal to provide Jaques Station with repair materials succeeded, but it is unknown when it will attempt to resume its journey to Beagle Point.
The first permanent settlement in the system, Colonia Hub on the surface of Eol Prou RS-T d3-94 2 A (now known as Colonia 2 A), was inaugurated on September 9, 3302. It was the global reward for a community goal.
The name 'Colonia' was submitted to the community Galactic Mapping Project on July 1st 3302 as a suggested name for the nebula Jacues station was discovered in. Colonia soon became the adopted name of the system, and eventually the wider region as a whole, and was officially renamed "Colonia" with the 2.2 update.
A series of six refueling outposts have been constructed between the Core Systems and Colonia, part of the Colonia Connection Highway. These are planetary outposts and only available to players who own the Horizons update. They are placed as follows (sorted by distance to the bubble, shortest first):
- Hillary Depot – Blu Thua AI-A c14-10, planet A 4 A
- Amundsen Terminal – Lagoon Sector NI-S b4-10, planet 1
- Eagle's Landing – Eagle Sector IR-W d1-117, planet 2 A
- Sacaqawea Space Port – Skaudai CH-B d14-34, planet 1 A
- Gagarin Gate – Gru Hypue KS-T d3-31, planet 4
- Polo Harbour – Boewnst KS-S c20-959, planet A 2 A
