Planetary Info
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.[1]
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.[1]
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.[1]
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 a contested planet, where both the independent nation-states would sometime war for control of the planet. Regulans would briefly hold the world in 3124 after the 4th 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 4th Hussars to abandon their claim to the planet.[25] The world would soon find itself reunited with a newly reformed Free Worlds League in 3139.[26]
The Aitutaki Academy is located on the continent of Andrine.[27]
