Description
I looked into the distance, the massive Gauss Cannon looming, pointed at the sky, that thing could shoot down a ship from hundred of thousands of kilometres away, all the way to its moon, Alexandria. The Space Elevator, New Athens, rising beyond the clouds. The city of New Sparta, named after the planet, spread across the landscape like a tapestry of towers, roads, lights and people.

Sparta, otherwise known as Knemosta (It's native name) is a bastion world belonging to the Terran Colonial Systems Republic, colonised in 2404, Sparta was an already habitable world the native civilisation was just inventing radio, this was when the Terran Colonial Systems Republic came in and promised to help the native civilisation reach the level of the UN. This then led to the native species, the Knemast, becoming a prominent demographic on Sparta. In 2552, a group of terrorists known as the Relnax Army attacked a lot of heritage sites across Sparta, from ancient ruins from ancient native civilisations, to museums and even the Archive of the history of Life, a huge archive full of documents from native civilisations, and now its been upgraded (with the original buildings left untouched and preserved) to include all life within the United Nations. This led to the hyoer-militarisation of Sparta, earning its name. Massive Gauss Cannons were placed across the surface of the planet strategically, alongside observatories used for space exploration, a massive Space Elevator known as New Athens was also constructed to make the transference of resources and passengers easier. Orbital defences were also increased and several Olympus-Class Jumpgun Battlestations, each one with a range of 500 Lightyears, were placed at Lagrange points between Sparta and Alexandria (Kemnan in native tongue) and between Spart and its local star, Vamax.

In the late 27th Century, Sparta became a site of the Manax Crisis, where a fleet of pirates, illegal privateers and rogue soldiers would attack the planet en masse across two months, their goal was to destabilise the defences so that they could pillage and raid the planet, the Gauss Cannons were fired and the crisis averted, however, this led to a cold war between the Terran Colonial Systems republic and the United Space States of America, who funnily enough, opposed the use of planet-based Gauss Cannons while having THEIR OWN planet-based Gauss Cannons. this cold war is still ongoing, but recent efforts from both sides to de-escalate the situation have been taking traction.

In recent years, as the Zar Yun-Orion Arm War and the Zordar Civil War are raging, the Terran Colonial Systems Republic has remain a neutral as they could, although helping the UNDC by cintributing to SATO and having a handful of their own task forces sent to help, but mostly neutral.

Sparta has also become a place of interest for any Tridak Directorate forces, only deterred by those Gauss Cannons, as well as SSMS bases and orbital defences, Sparta is the third most fortified planet in the United Nations.

NOTE: Inspired by goeliath 's planet Eden, as well as an old Emergence submission I did about a planet of the same name and design, though I could revive the planet in Unitum Invictum.
