Its inception began in late June 3302 when calls from the exploration community to ship meta alloys out to the stricken starport were made, and this lead to an initiative to establish a working colony in and around EOL PROU RS-T D3-94 - an initiative instigated by Olivia Vespera, and built upon via the Jaunt to Jaques - August Exodus expedition, set up by Jonus Treesong, Unrealization, and Erimus Kamzel.

The star system has in turn given name to the nebula it is located within - the Colonia Nebula - and in a broader sense, 'Colonia' may refer to all the inhabited systems within this nebula.Ĭolonia was humanities first independently established colony beyond the frontier borders of the old worlds. In its most narrow sense, it may refer only to the Colonia system itself - this is the star system where Jaques Station is located. When people refer to 'Colonia' it may have several meanings depending on how broadly the term is being used.

The name Colonia eventually became part of the everyday lexicon within the exploration community and subsequently was officially added to the in game map via Universal Cartographics (Frontier Developments) several weeks later, in recognition of the CCN ( Colonia Citizens Network) community initiatives to help promote and colonize the region. It was added to the Galactic Mapping Project on July 1st 3302 as a POI given the (then) placeholder name of 'Colonia' by CMDR's Erimus Kamzel and Diostar50. Its original designation was EOL PROU RS-T D3-94. It is located on the edge of the galactic core regions, where the Near 3kpc Arm and Far 3kpc Arm converges with the Galactic Bar. Colonia became a hive of activity during mid-3302 after the discovery by CMDR Cly of Jaques Station following the starports misjump to Beagle Point earlier that year.
