'''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 anumber of articial 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 seperated 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 two hundred and fifty kilometers 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 occured 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/>

'''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/>

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/>

The Aitutaki system had at least one habitable world[1][2] and as at 3145 was an autonomous system within the Free Worlds League.[3][4]

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 colonised during the First Exodus from Terra[5] by the natives from the Principality of Regulus who founded a commercial waystation on a habitable world within the system.[1]

Aitutaki III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard 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 anumber of articial 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 seperated 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 two hundred and fifty kilometers 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 occured 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.[6] Aitutaki soon fi#ound itself reunited with the newly reformed Free Worlds League in 3139.[7]
