The Norcian industry required huge quantities of Titanium 35 for shipbuilding. In 3229 in Equstria system was discovered a strange deposit of ore called unubtanium which was very strange. After years of research it was discovered that this mineral would revolutionise the energy industry.

During reserch a doctor Alexander Misenum from Norcia Mettalurgy and advanced materials for Energy Institute was playing with uranium trying to find ways to produce better trans uranic heavy elements .

After years of research a breakthrough was achieved in 3244 when the doctor has managed to synthesize an important quantity of americium 243.Even if the americium was known as an trans uranic element,the doctor wanted to obtain a much better americium,with better performances and reduced radiotion.

When this discovery was made public the scientific community and the Senate was excited about the possible applications of it.Mainly in power generation as nuclear batteries,thus allowing projects which required a compact power source to became a reality.

Such the demand began to be greater then the offer.The main problem is the americium is a synthetic element which required huge quantities of uranium.This problem will be solved after the discovery of the Novus Terrae system in 3250.

A lot of money was flowing towards this system.Great mining companies bid on the mining licences.The Senate ordered that this system to be heavy industrialized and to be transformed into a fortress world.

Unubtanium will generate a new generation of fusion reactors. It was discovered by coating the inner chambair of a fusion reactor with unoabtinium the power output will increase by a factor of 87%.

It was also discovered that unubtanium in combination with graphene will generate a stronger and lighter outer shell for a reactor.This new alloy will be named unuphene 13. During the research the mineral can absorb a lot of heat. 

That launched the race to find rich deposites to fuel the economy.Thus lead to discovery in 3250 of the Novus Terrae system,which had huge deposits of unubtanium,titanium and several other ores necesary to the Norcian economy.This system was also considered a strategic one ,because sitting between several nations.

Once the Threshold heard about this mineral ,they tried to force the Norcians out of Novus Terrae,because they wanted the deposits also.Several attempts have been made by the Threshold both in space and on the ground.Huge sacrifices were made in defending the system.At a certain time all of the Legion corp was deployed here.Every time the Norcians repaired the damages made.This conflict has ended after 2 years of skirmishes into tense peace treaty,with small quatities traded to the Threshold.
