Charon III (formerly Haros) is an inhabited planet in the Charon system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). During the Messer Era (SEY 2546 - 2792), the planet was used as a site for vast prisons and re-education camps. After the fall of the Messers in 2792, the populace stormed the detention facilities and freed the prisoners. Once the extent of the deplorable conditions and practices came to light, it inspired a vote to renounce Haros' recognition by the UEE. Today, Charon III remains an unrecognized planet. Two of its states, Dellin and Acheron, began armed conflict with one another following the election of Tarquin Klast as Dellin's governor in 2944. The UEE military has been monitoring the civil war, but has avoided direct interference.
