Tupã

"'When ecological collapse became inevitability on Terra, one system above others was chosen to bear the fruits of the cradle's endangered Coari and Kongolian rainforests: Tupã. Moñái, named for the great serpent of indigenous Ingallian myth, was selected as a prime candidate for terraforming. The system has since become a beacon of hope for the advancing of ecological causes in the Coalition.' —General History of the Coalition, Vol. 138" The Tupã System, also referred to as Tupan, is a habited Coalition star system located in the Periphery. Comprising gravitationally-bound bodies in orbit of the eponymous G-Type Main Sequence star, the system boasts five planets, of which two are permanently habited by human populations, along with two space colonies and non-permanent settlements on Moñái's moon, Iracema.

The system boasts two circumstellar discs, the inner Tupanese asteroid belt and the outer Tabajaran Zone. Due to the particularly resource-rich nature of the system, Tupã is a major exporter of raw materials to the rest of the Coalition at large.

Colonized in 2391 as part of the Terran Species Preservation Initiative, Tupã was chosen for its stellar similarity to Sol, with Moñái in particular having a desirable day length of 24 hours, 35 minutes. Earthforming endeavors commenced in 2352, seeking to give Moñái a climate and environment ideal for hosting the continuation of the Amazonian and Congolese rainforests, allowing species and specimens of the dying Terran rainforests to thrive and prosper. While protected ecological status was granted to Moñái, with urban expansion, industrialization and environmental exploitation closely regulated by the titular Republic of Tupã, licenses to its asteroid belts were given liberally to Coalition military and Corporate entities alike, establishing Tupã as an exporter of raw materials. The dwarf planet Anhangá, situated on the Tupanese asteroid belt, became the second habited world in the system in 2448 after Earthforming, chosen as particularly desirable for hosting permanent and non-permanent asteroid mining workers.

Beyond its raw material industry, the Tupã system is of particular interest to phytology and biology research, as the planet provides apt conditions for microevolution to be observed and tested. Due to its exotic Earthn wildlife and natural beauty, Tupã is a popular tourist destination in the CCR, made especially desirable due to its tight ecological regulations, national park programs, grand resorts and getaways.

With a population of only five billion, Tupã is among the lesser populated systems of the Coalition, though it remains geopolitically noteworthy for the ongoing Krielander Insurgency, along with the Anaxian Heresy, two low-level insurrections primarily set on the planet Moñái. The Holy Army is also believed to be involved in aiding Krielander rebels.
