Return to Kuat Sector
The Raxxa System is one of the seven systems of the Kuat Sector. The Raxxa System first came under the Imperial eye fairly late in the Galactic Empire's history. The system, from a aesthetic point of view doesn't have much to offer. Perhaps because of this, the Empire decided to make it the home of one of its most powerful fleets; The Imperial 2nd Fleet. The Raxxa Sytem itself is comprised of three planets, none of which are very habitable. Raxxa (I) is an extremely cold planet with a toxic atmosphere, and Raxxa (II) & (III) are gas giants. The Imperial Throne not wanting to waste any system resourcefulness decided to use Raxxa (I) as a base of operations for it's 2nd Fleet.
Guinar Ndengin, upon his rise to the throne in year twelve of the galactic timeline, went to work immediately to secure the Kuat Sector from any enemies foreign and domestic. One of his first decrees was to protect the ever resourceful Kuat Drive Yards that had been supplying the Empire with new ships and technology for most of its history. Therefore, he decided to reenforce the area and form the Imperial 2nd Fleet, comprising of 1st, 2nd & 6th Groups of the Imperial Navy. This was a huge undertaking that took a lot of manpower, materials, and time. It also set the Galactic Empire back quite a few credits once it was done.
The 2nd Fleet now positioned in the Kuat Sector to protect the coveted Kuat Drive Yards, was in need of a home base for not only themselves but their Imperial families as well. The closest system to Kuat was neighboring Raxxa, which offered very little in regards to habitability. With this, the Empire had to be creative, but quick due to the time sensitivity of protecting the sector.
The Ndengin sent massive construction fleets aided by the organizational prowess of the Kuat Sector governors to the Raxxa System. Outpost stations were setup in each corner of the system to warn of any incoming threat. Tensions in the system were high. Only the Trade Federation stood thinly between the Empire and one of its greatest enemies; the Krath Dynasty. The Krath had been running scouting missions into Imperial territory for years and their undercover agents had been slowly influencing local Imperial systems with their cultist ideals. The emperor refused to accept this treachery and increased monitoring activity in all nearby Imperial systems. The newly formed 2nd fleet began running constant drills and defensive scenarios. Commanders were always on high alert and it made it difficult sometimes for personnel to get away to spend time with their families.

With increased control and security in the Raxxa system, the defensive operations ceased, but the activity of the 2nd fleet didn't slow down. Much of what developed became classified information, only privy to those in the Imperial High Command and the Throne. Even the imperial families in the system were kept in the dark, which sometimes made life at home difficult for Imperial personnel.
