Cornucopia

Settled as a contingency colony during first contact with the Pre-Ascendant Ecumenical Aun, Cornucopia has grown steadily, proving to be an ideal candidate for human habitation. Reinforced in both the First and Second Expansion periods by waves of Union colonists, Cornucopia’s population has grown exponentially; when Boundary Garden was selected to be networked to the blink, Cornucopia’s system was a natural choice to host the station.
Cornucopia has been a settled world for thousands of years. In its history, it has experienced two major civil conflicts: first, a populist, left-wing revolution against its hereditary monarchy that established a communal, marxist state. Then later, a counterrevolution led by descendants of the deposed monarchy and a collection of loyal, exiled nobile houses and hired mercenaries. This counterrevolution was unsuccessful.
Cornucopia’s relationship with Union was tenuous before the Aunic incursion: prior to Cornucopia’s first revolution, Union was appealed to by revolutionaries for assistance in removing the monarchy. Union demurred, and even assisted the monarchy by granting them access to limited Union intelligence. When the revolutionaries won, Union worked to establish diplomatic connections with the ruling labor council; during the counterrevolution, Union stayed out of the conflict, refusing to assist either side. As a result, Cornucopia has a frosty view of Union’s reliability, though this current conflict has forced them to set aside their past history to face a common enemy together.
