The planet that was later named Toulouse was discovered by an Independent Miners Guild exploration expedition in 814 A.S. The planet was codenamed T115-C1 and immediately attracted the attention of Guild officials. The planet had gravitation and temperature suitable for human colonization. The presence of poisonous gases in the atmosphere was a deterrent, but the problem could be fixed by introducing oxygen-producing plants and setting up atmospheric filters planetside.
814 A.S. was also the year when the war between Kusari and Bretonia started. Having to invest all its resources to secure its holdings in the Tau systems, the Guild did not have enough manpower and ships to perform further research. The situation changed in 817 A.S. when the Council, a powerful and resourceful faction from Gallia, reached for IMG help in finding a new home for their Languedoc population. Having no way to reach their brethren in other Gallic systems, the Council Refugees had to establish their new home in some desolate region of Sirius to save the population from imminent repressions, and secure and rebuild its remaining forces.
Toulouse, located in a system that the IMG labeled Tau-115 (renamed Roussillon by the Council), was the best choice to become the new home for that part of the Council that was isolated from their brethren. Council manpower and money, along with IMG knowledge and technology, combined to make the planet suitable for settlement in a matter of months. The location of the system, as well as the planet itself, was not revealed to any other groups by IMG, and the Council was secured from Gallic attacks at least for a year or two - time enough to build powerful defenses that the Royal Navy would not be able to penetrate without suffering severe losses. Apart from purely material gain (Council had to pay a very large amount for IMG services), IMG also retained the right to settle their own colonists on the planet at a later time. Since the relations between the two factions are friendly at this point, it is possible that Toulouse could become a prosperous independent world with population of both Gallic and Sirius origin.
Currently, Toulouse houses a population of 180,000, consisting of Council Refugees from Languedoc, a large amount of non-aligned Quillan Refugees who did not want to stay under Gallic Crown rule, as well as representatives of other unlawful factions of Gallia. IMG sustains a large terraforming and scientific presence on the planet, their work being supplied and financed by the Council. The atmosphere is not currently suitable for human breathing, and breathing masks are a necessity outdoors. However, the ongoing efforts to clear the atmosphere from HCN and COCl2 are making progress, and in some parts of the planet humans are now safe to stay outdoors without a mask for up to three hours.
