The Colonia Connection Highway is a network of Starports, Outposts, and Surface Ports that stretches across 22,000 light years to connect the Core Systems to the distant Colonia Region, home of the famed Colonia system and Jaques Station.
The Colonia Connection
On September 15, 3302, Latugara PLC, an independent organisation based out of the Latugara system, announced plans to construct a series of resupply outposts called the Colonia Connection between the Core Systems and the Colonia Region, where the missing Jaques Station was located three months earlier and a burgeoning new community was beginning to form.[1] After gathering materials from the galactic community at Love Orbital, Latugara over a period of four weeks, Latugara PLC announced the campaign's successful conclusion.[2] On October 14, 3302, the resupply outposts were completed and their locations announced.[3][4]
Blue Star Line
On August 24, 3303, the Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition announced plans to establish three starports between the Core Systems and Colonia, along with the creation of a freight and passenger transportation service known as the Blue Star Line.[5] The three-week campaign successfully concluded on September 14, 3303, with the Kamadhenu Chapterhouse of Inquisition having amassed enough materials to build all three stations, as well as three orbital outposts.[6][7]
Other stopovers
Since Jaques Station's rediscovery and the settlement of the Colonia Region, a number of independent outposts, mainly Asteroid Bases and Detention Centres, have been established between there and the Core Systems. While not formally part of the Colonia Connection Highway, they are conveniently located along or in close proximity to the main route.
Bulk Cruisers
Since June 28, 3304, a number of Bulk Cruiser Megaships have also been spotted traveling the Colonia Connection, jumping to a new destination on their flight plans each week. These ships include Freedom Class Survey Vessel CTC-023, Freedom Class Survey Vessel PNF-542, Hercules Class Bulk Cargo Ship NLS-088, James Class Bulk Cargo Ship LNP-723, James Class Bulk Cargo Ship VKN-091, Naphtha Class Tanker MAL-086, and Sagan Class Tourist Ship TLS-051.
Outpost and station locations
As of April 12, 3305, there are 17 inhabited systems with 20 ports between the Core Systems and the Colonia Region.
