Risinium is the oldest settlement in the Medaurus system, dating to 749.8.4.2. It was launched as part of a salvo of colony ships from Sol, and served as an expedition deep into the then-uncharted frontier of the Solamani Empire.
Risinium served primarily as a port for surveying expeditions until the introduction of the jump drive with The Second Accord.
Risinium began a steady economic decline - its port became only necessary for the rare expedition into The Rim, and nearby systems (Soma & Keid) offered more attractive habitation.
The imperial presence splintered into a series of warring states. The First issued a travel ban, and Risinium tore itself apart.
The fighting stopped in 2556, and the travel ban was lifted in 2576. The First restablished a starport and the old Solamani power structures were slowly rebuilt, brick by brick, by coporate interests with the capital to do so. The population began to grow again.
Currently, Risinium has settled into a semi-peaceful arrangement of city-states, with three coporate interests dominating the governance of each: GeDeCo, SysGen, and Paragon.
The starport is located in the largest of these city-states: Cenotaph.
