Tasale is a star system in the Crescent Nebula, and the former capital of the Illian Republic and the Illian Empire, and current capital of the Illium Republics. In the asari cycle, the Tasale system became the prime target of asari colonization efforts in the Crescent Nebula, with Illium chosen for settlement due to its garden world status. Illium grew rapidly, developing into a sprawling ecumenopolis within a hundred years, with a population numbering 80 million. The planet created a booming economy, one of the wealthiest out of all the Asari Republics, which increased trade and traffic tenfold, making Tasale one of the more important Council systems. It withered under a ten-year siege during the Krogan Rebellions, and resentment against the Council for perceivably abandoning them led to them becoming self-autonomous after the Terminus Revolutions, remaining a planetary republic of Thessia in name only, with Tasale as its capital system. The system fell under Reaper occupation during the Reaper War, and following the war, would become the core of the new Illian empire that had established itself in the region. Tasale would be annexed by the Titan Covenant in 2200 CE after Illium's defeat in the Illium-Covenant War, and remain under Covenant occupation until its collapse in 2253 CE. Post-Dominion Civil War, it is now the capital system of the Illium Republics.
