[Armitage (Orion III)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RL6KLK4ylo-armitage-orion-iii) was once a recognized planet with [Senatorial](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VaZn8OqaNZ-senate) representation in the UEE. It was also the site of the UEE's violent first contact with the [Vanduul](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VpGPp92gdO-vanduul) in SEY 2681. In 2712, the Vanduul launched a [mass invasion](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RMXyYxqw8K-battle-of-orion) that forced the UEE to cede the system.
