The Caliban system is a planetary system in Vanduul territory, formerly of the United Empire of Earth(UEE). Officially purchased from hauler Ashley Ghan in SEY 2341, a Human-made shelter was found on Caliban 4f during the surveying process, indicating that someone had discovered the system before Ghan and had chosen to keep it a secret. The system was rapidly developed, and enjoyed steady growth until 2739, when Vanduul raiding parties first appeared in the system. Years of struggle against the invading forces culminated in 2884, when an enormous Vanduul Clan invaded the system without warning. After two days of fighting and an evacuation effort led by the 88th Logistic Support Squadron, the UEE was forced to cede the system to the Vanduul.
