== Hazards ==
Consumption of alcoholic beverages in this sector is almost impossible to avoid. Repair and attacking skill will degrade accordingly. Exercise caution at [[Tara's Bar]], it can be a rough place.

== History ==
In the year 2058, very shortly after discovering and naming the [[Moons of Kaarp]], Lieutenant W.F.Kaarp of the [[Tibran]] Royal Navy jumped here in his light exploration ship, "Flare". Upon surveying the sector he found much to his surprise a small planet orbiting the sun which seemed to have oceans of alcohol. Closer inspection revealed that these oceans were teeming with strange, albeit primitive lifeforms.

Taking a rather excessive amount of samples and staying for rather longer than they really needed to, Lieutenant Kaarp and his crew made sure to survey every lake and ocean of the strange new planet with immense care and finally decided to name it Aquarious after Pishtank was decided against. Lieutenant Kaarp apparently did not notice that the name was spelt incorrectly before finalising it. He then proceeded to send the data to [[Tibrar]] and sitting naked and blind drunk in front of his comms terminal made an emergency call (reserved for only the most critical communications) to the Queen of [[Tibrar]] asking her on a date. Shocked by this the [[Tibran]] Monarch recalled him to [[Tibrar]] immediately, placed him under royal guard in her palace and strangely promoted him to Captain.

News of the discovery spread like wildfire on [[Tibrar]], and by 2063 all the major brewing companies were funding missions to go and stake a claim on the new planet. Unfortunately, none of the samples Kaarp's ship had taken made it back to [[Tibrar]] so the companies did not know what to expect and rumours flying around tended to exaggerate the quality of the alcohol to be found there. Upon arrival, the brewerage ships were dismayed to find the oceans to be the equivalent of the cheapest, headache inducing [[Tibran]] swill there was. They proceeded to drown their sorrows anyway before loading up and beginning the long trip home. Unfortunately, the low quality and sudden new oversupply of liquor on the [[Tibrar]] market caused prices to take a dive, making it next to impossible for the brewing companies to recover their losses. The lack of economic viability associated with alcohol harvesting has meant that the planet Aquarious remains pretty much untouched to this day.

Several small populations have however sprung up on the planet under colonization domes. Whilst the weather is extremely pleasant, the alcoholic nature of everything makes it difficult to remain standing for long without assistance.

At the address [http://www.tvsgames.com/tvschat] under the plexiglass of Alpha Dome may be located the famous [[Tara's Bar]]. Tara, an early Aquarian colonist, has somehow found a way to cheaply convert the local low grade alcohol into a variety of high grade beverages, but her secrets are jealously guarded. Aquarious, being an independent sector, means that [[Tara's Bar]] is a popular hang out for tired pilots from all legions.

It's impossible to avoid some R&R on Aquarious when in the sector, whether it be drinking at Tara's, deep sea fishing for the tasty, albeit heavily alcoholic, Saw Toothed Monoscythe or trying to catch any of the local fauna with your bare hands, a favourite pasttime of many a tipsy local (naturally soapy skin makes local fauna very slippery). The consequence of this of course is that all pilots flying about in the sector are almost always either drunk or suffering from a killer hangover. As such local gravitational effects are only amplified and repair and attack effectiveness decreases notably
