Overview
Magellan is generally considered to be the most successful of the European Union's Second Stage Colonies. The first colonists arriving from Portugal and Spain found it to be a natural paradise, a temperate world requiring little terraforming and perfectly suited to human habitation. Though they have been joined over the course of the colony's growth by new immigrants from across the EU's sprawling domain, the majority of the population is still of Iberian and North African origin. Having settled on such an ideal world so close to the civilized worlds of the original core colonies, Magellan has kept the pace with the larger and more powerful colonies in both technology and culture where more distant colonies have been known to lag behind the times.
Far removed from the front lines of the Zodiac War, Magellan was untouched by that conflict and contributed only minimal military forces to the EU's battle fleets and armies. Unlike other colonies such as Novaya Zemlya and Kemal, Magellan remains much as it was before the war and takes little interest in greater galactic affairs and maintains only a minimal defense force as required by EU regulations.
