"O'er the orange skies lay the children of Gaia, ever yearning to be free. .."

- Standing amidst Titans, Liana McGrath, 2289.

Titan is a sparsely populated, yet highly valued colony world located in the very heart of human space. Colonized in 2134, Titan became a hotspot for individuals seeking to escape the grasp of Earth. A never-ending struggle to those who desire freedom above all else, Titan is one of the few colonies to actually have once claimed and live the reality of being independent of Earth, even if for a short while.

Once the farthest-reaching colony of its times, Titan was spared from the destruction wrought on upon by the outbreak of the in 2164. As the war escalated, war refugees flocked to Titan, hoping to escape the conflict that ravaged humanity from the heartlands of Earth to the frontiers of the Jovian moons. When the war ended, the colony position contributed to an economic boom, allowing it to catch up to Mars, whose industrial capacity had far dwarfed that of Titan's for most of its history. While this prosperity would be short-lived, the colony's civilian and shipbuilding industry would establish a far-reaching influence well into the 26th Century.

Titan would not integrate with the rest of the Earth government until 2197. While the founders of the colony initially settled the colony to escape Earth's influence, a peaceful annexation would take place with the colony retaining some of its autonomy. This autonomy, however, would prevent Titan from gaining a seat in the UEG Senate until 2371.

Titan's most notable act in the annals of human history resides with the Relgado Conventions, which prohibited the use of terraforming technology on worlds that already harbored life and were presently unsuitable to human habitation. First ratified by the UEG in 2358, the first iteration of the convention would play a major role in the regulation and careful establishment of the first Inner Colonies a decade later. Titan's history, much like its people, is proud and strong, and are among the most devoted to the pursuit of human freedom.
