Planetary History
The sole planet in the A Place system gained the name Jangso, which means "A Place" in Korean. A Place was a minerally rich world but whose meager topsoil necessitated importation of most foodstuffs.[34]
Succession Wars
The conscription on commercial JumpShips in the First Succession War resulted in a widespread famine that killed ninety percent of the world's population.[34] As a result of this famine, which the inhabitants blamed on the policies of Archon Richard Steiner, local politician Jermyn LeStat decided to defect to the Free Worlds League on the eve of the Second Succession War, taking a substantial quantity of government information with him on a diplomatic mission to Dieudonné. LeStat was debriefed and then returned to A Place as a double agent, where he supplied military information to the Free Worlds League for a number of years before being retrieved by SAFE and smuggled to Dieudonné after it was believed that Lyran intelligence services were closing in on him. Despite being paid nearly two million M-Bills by the League, LeStat never spent any of the money they paid him; he was motivated solely by a desire to see House Steiner toppled because of the deaths of his siblings during the famine.[35][36][37]
By 3028 A Place was noted as having sufficient militia forces not to require mercenary supplemental forces.[38]
Clan Invasion
Following a bureaucratic bungle that cost the Twenty-third Arcturan Guards nearly a quarter of the RCT in combat against Clan Wolf the AFFC ordered the surviving Guards from their garrison on Pandora to A Place with orders to harass the Occupation Zones. To recoup the losses from Carse the A Place militia was organized into the 1st A Place Volunteers and rolled into the Guards' infantry brigade.[39]
Civil War
A Place joined the Arc-Royal Defense Cordon in response to the Lyran Alliance secession from the Federated Commonwealth. Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion inspected ComGuard forces on A Place on 13 July 3062, which allowed him to discreetly meet with Grand Duke Morgan Kell and Omi Kurita. In the four days he was on world, the Precentor-Martial helped implement a new training regimen.[40]
