Gallente Prime, or sometimes just "Luminaire", is the sixth planet in the Luminaire system, and is the original home of the Gallente. It is home to the magnificient city of Caille, and it's crystalline central boulevard. Despite being home to the Gallente race, it is not the de jure capital of the Federation - that role belonging to Villore
Although no firm information can be ascertained on the ecological and demographical state of Gallente Prime, it is likely an ethnically mixed but Gallente dominated society, being the cultural capital of the Federation. It is known that Gallente Prime is a fairly hospitable world - the Gallenteans recovering technologically far faster than their nearby neighbours the Caldari.
Contents
History
Settlement and Collapse
The Planet was originally settled by French settlers from Tau Ceti, who give the modern-day Gallenteans their ideals of liberty and equality in a democratic state.
After the EVE gate collapsed, the Gallenteans fared better than most other colonies, largely due to the habitable, non-hostile of nature of Gallente Prime. Other colonies such as Caldari Prime had not been fully terraformed, and thus resorted to reverse-engineering the terraforming equipment that had been abandoned at the collapse of society in the cluster.
The First Gallente-Caldari War
The war between the Gallente and the Caldari initially focused around the system of Luminaire - the home of Gallente Prime and Caldari Prime. As the closest planet to Caldari Prime and, at the time, home to a large proportion of the infrastructure of the Federation Navy and it's support agencies, when the schism occurred between the Caldari and the rest of the Federation, Gallente Prime was both a staging ground for the Federation Navy and a target for the Caldari.
Although the Federation won the battle for Luminaire, capturing Caldari Prime and forcing the Caldari back into their newly claimed territories, it was not without great losses on the surface of Gallente Prime. When the Caldari decided to pull back from the Luminaire system and evacuate the populace of Caldari Prime, their month-long campaign of distractions against the Federation to draw attention away from their home planet would result in Admiral Yakia Tovil-Toba taking the Kairiola - a water freighter hull that forms the basis of the modern Chimera carrier - into the atmosphere, breaking up and hitting several key locations on Gallente Prime, doubtless killing thousands of people. The scheme succeeded and Caldari Prime was successfully evacuated with the relocation of the populace to the New Caldari system. This left the entire Luminaire system under Federal control for nearly two hundred years.
Current Status
Events of 110.06
The ominous prospect of the glassing of the most revered planet in the Federation has cast a shadow over the world since June of the year 110, when the entire Caldari Navy was ordered to retake the Gallente-occupied Caldari homeworld of Caldari Prime by Tibus Heth. A Caldari Navy Leviathan with an escort fleet was left in orbit of Caldari Prime with orders to glass Gallente districts on Caldari Prime and then the entirety of Gallente Prime should the Federation launch military assaults on any Caldari targets as retribution.
