'''Aitutaki III''' - more commonly known simply as Aitutaki - is the third planet in the Aitutaki system. Aitutaki was home to a prestigious military academy, the [[Aitutaki Academy]] and has long been associated with the Free Worlds League.
 +
 +
===Planetary History===
 +
The commercial waystation founded by the Principality of Regulus on Aitutaki was replaced over time with a thriving agricultural community. In [[2414]], the Principality adopted Aitutaki as its main military training grounds and dedicated much of the planet to military training, replete with exercise grounds and live-fire ranges. The continent of Simla was given over to the Aitutaki Academy for training, and various facilities were constructed on the island to support that training, including a number of series of fortifications used for both offensive and defensive training and a number of artificial towns used for urban combat training. Simla continued to remain dedicated to supporting the Academy until at least the mid-[[thirty-first century]].<ref name=HBM63/>
 +
 +
The inhabitants of Aitutaki deliberately separated planetary governance from the main financial and commercial concerns on the planet, going so far as to place their government in the spaceport city of Ladakh, while making the city of Srinigar some 250 km east the main center for finance and manufacturing. Srinigar would grow over time to be home to a tenth of the population by the eve of the [[Jihad]].<ref name=HBM63/>
 +
 +
The two cities were connected by a high-speed rail link that made it possible to travel between the two cities in approximately an hour. In April 3067 a derailment occurred on the line that caused severe disruption despite inflicting no loss of life; the incident was originally believed to be an accident, but after further investigation evidence of sabotage by an unknown organization or entity was discovered.<ref name=HBM63/>
  
 +
====The Dark Age====
 +
After the shattering of the original Free Worlds League in 3079, Aitutaki would become independent world by the early [[thirty-second century]], breaking away from the newly formed [[Regulan Fiefs]]. During its decades of independence Aitutaki ended up being contested between independent nation-states who sometimes warred for control of the planet. The Regulan Fiefs briefly held the world in [[3124]] after the [[Fourth Regulan Hussars]] conducted a daring landing which was disguised as a raid. It would take the neighboring [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]'s [[First Free Worlds Guards]] to force the Fourth Hussars to abandon their claim to the planet.<ref name="TRO:3145">''Technical Readout: 3145'', p. 28: Sarath - 'Mech's history includes brief occupation of the Regulan Fiefs and MS Commonwealth liberation in 3124 showing the planet was no longer under domination of Regulans.</ref>  Aitutaki soon found itself reunited with the newly re-formed Free Worlds League in [[3139]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 21, 38: Timeline & Inner Sphere Map 3145 - Free Worlds League is reborn in July 3rd, 3145 map shows Aitutaki within it border.</ref>
  
 +
An opportunistic raid against Aitutaki in [[3140]] by the [[3rd Free Worlds Guards|Third Free Worlds Guards]] led to the destruction of the defending [[16th Regulan Hussars|Sixteenth Regulan Hussars]] and the planet's annexation by the newly-reborn Free Worlds League.<ref name=FM:3145p102/>

===Military Deployment===
−
'''Aitutaki''' was originally settled by Regulans looking for a way station. This was eventually destroyed and replaced by an agricultural community. The biggest change to Aitutaki came in [[2414]], however, when the Principality of Regulus made the world their main training world. The planet is covered by live-fire ranges, exercise facilities, and training areas even today.<ref name=HBM63/>

* [[Seventeenth Marik Militia]]<ref name="FSWp138">''First Succession War'', p. 138: "First Succession War Deployment Table - FWLM"</ref>
  
−
The most important of these facilities is the island continent of Simla. Located on this island are towns for soldiers to practice urban warfare tactics and fortresses that can be used for offensive or defensive training. Most importantly, however, Simla is the home of the [[Aitutaki Academy]] which has long served as the training facility for officers in the Regulan units.<ref name=HBM63/>

One interesting feature of Aitutaki is the separation of local government from financial concerns. Unlike most worlds, which put both functions together in a single city, Aitutaki's government is located 250 kilometers away from the financial "capital". A high speed rail line links both capitals. The trip takes less than an hour. By separating the two functions, the Aitutakians ensure that commerce doesn't affect government, and vice versa.<ref name=HBM63/>

After the shattering of the original Free Worlds League in 3079, Aitutaki would become independent world by  the early [[32nd Century]], breaking away from newly formed [[Regulan Fiefs]]. During its decades of independence, the world would end up becoming contested planet, where both the independent nation-states would sometime war for control of the planet. [[Regulan Fiefs|Regulans]] would briefly hold the world in [[3124]] after the [[4th Regulan Hussar]] conducted a daring landing which was disguised as a raid. It would take the neighboring [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]'s [[First Free Worlds Guards]] to force the 4th Hussars to abandon their claim to the planet.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3144'', p. 28 Sarath - 'Mech's history includes brief occupation of the Regulan Fiefs and MS Commonwealth liberation in 3124 showing the planet was no longer under domination of Regulans.</ref>  The world would soon find itself reunited with a newly reformed Free Worlds League in [[3139]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 21 & 38 Timeline & Inner Sphere Map 3145 - Free Worlds League is reborn in July 3rd, 3145 map shows Aitutaki within it border.</ref>

The Aitutaki system had at least one habitable world[1][2] and as of 3151 was an autonomous system within the Free Worlds League.[3]

System Description

The Aitutaki system had at least one recharge station by 3079, which was located at the zenith jump point within the system.[1][2]

System History

The Aitutaki system was colonized during the First Exodus from Terra[4] by the natives from the Principality of Regulus who founded a commercial waystation on a habitable world within the system.[1]

Aitutaki III - more commonly known simply as Aitutaki - is the third planet in the Aitutaki system. Aitutaki was home to a prestigious military academy, the Aitutaki Academy and has long been associated with the Free Worlds League.

Planetary History

The commercial waystation founded by the Principality of Regulus on Aitutaki was replaced over time with a thriving agricultural community. In 2414, the Principality adopted Aitutaki as its main military training grounds and dedicated much of the planet to military training, replete with exercise grounds and live-fire ranges. The continent of Simla was given over to the Aitutaki Academy for training, and various facilities were constructed on the island to support that training, including a number of series of fortifications used for both offensive and defensive training and a number of artificial towns used for urban combat training. Simla continued to remain dedicated to supporting the Academy until at least the mid-thirty-first century.[1]

The inhabitants of Aitutaki deliberately separated planetary governance from the main financial and commercial concerns on the planet, going so far as to place their government in the spaceport city of Ladakh, while making the city of Srinigar some 250 km east the main center for finance and manufacturing. Srinigar would grow over time to be home to a tenth of the population by the eve of the Jihad.[1]

The two cities were connected by a high-speed rail link that made it possible to travel between the two cities in approximately an hour. In April 3067 a derailment occurred on the line that caused severe disruption despite inflicting no loss of life; the incident was originally believed to be an accident, but after further investigation evidence of sabotage by an unknown organization or entity was discovered.[1]

The Dark Age

After the shattering of the original Free Worlds League in 3079, Aitutaki would become independent world by the early thirty-second century, breaking away from the newly formed Regulan Fiefs. During its decades of independence Aitutaki ended up being contested between independent nation-states who sometimes warred for control of the planet. The Regulan Fiefs briefly held the world in 3124 after the Fourth Regulan Hussars conducted a daring landing which was disguised as a raid. It would take the neighboring Marik-Stewart Commonwealth's First Free Worlds Guards to force the Fourth Hussars to abandon their claim to the planet.[28] Aitutaki soon found itself reunited with the newly re-formed Free Worlds League in 3139.[33]

An opportunistic raid against Aitutaki in 3140 by the Third Free Worlds Guards led to the destruction of the defending Sixteenth Regulan Hussars and the planet's annexation by the newly-reborn Free Worlds League.[30]
