The Afarsin system is the location of at least one habitable world,[1] and as at 3145 was a part of the Magistracy of Canopus.[2][3]

System History

The Afarsin system was settled at some point prior to the end of the Age of War, and at some point either joined or was annexed by the Magistracy of Canopus.[4] During the Star League era Afarsin was a part of the Canopus District of the Magistracy.[5]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

Afarsin was a member of the Magistracy of Canopus when a Star League Defense Force task force under the command of Captain-General Marion Marik was assigned to conquer the Magistracy of Canopus in 2577. Afarsin was targetted by the SLDF in 2583 with the Fifty-fifth Brigade from VII Corps assigned to conquering Afarsin and with the Fourth Marik Militia, Second Oriente Hussars, Second Orloff Grenadiers and Third Regulan Hussars in support.[1][29]

Afarsin was an agrarian world of little strategic importance and was conquered in short order by the SLDF task force, part of a lightning campaign that saw four worlds conquered in two months, completing the encirclement of Canopus. Afarsin would be occupied by the SLDF for the remainder of the war; once the Reunification War ended, a number of Magistracy worlds were annexed by the Free Worlds League, but Afarsin remained a part of the Magistracy.[1][7]
