Avali

First settled in 13,781 BCE. However, the lack of resources on both worlds kept their populations low. They achieved fame following the Orion Dawn of November, 1508 BCE, when fledgling Orion pirates Ombrey and Maark fled here with their stolen ships to hide out.

Unable to ever return to the homeworld of Botchok, they settled the worlds, and were supplied by still-dominated Orion slaves from other Colonies. For centuries from this base of operations, Orion pirates preyed on trade through Rigel, in a dangerous and unstable existence.

Periodically, alien forces came through and attempted to wipe out the pirates, destroying their settlements. The pirates waited out these assaults in the mountains or swamps, and returned and rebuilt again soon after. After the Orion War (concluding 56 BCE), in which the pirate fleets begun here fought for Orion independence, the new Botchok Planetary Congress extended its control. This time, the Orion military forced the pirates out of the system altogether.

Now the Orion Space Navy used Avali as a remote base, allowing civilian settlements to follow. These settlements were permanent and peaceful and gradually developed into quality residential areas. Wealthy Orions purchased all they could on and around the planets, and this included the now-obsolete naval bases. The tourist trade also began during this time.

In time, Orion pirates also returned, though this time as wealthy land-owners, legitimate businessmen and old, noble families. Gradually, they'd bought almost all the real estate, but by the time it was noticed it was too late.

The planet was conquered in 2153 during the Borderland Blitz, the Klingon Empire annexation of the Botchok Planetary Congress, becoming a protectorate world when the Orion government surrendered.
