Owner History

Planetary Info

Algedi orbits a huge star that takes up one-third of the sky. The sun allows no true night to fall on the world, and new residents frequently have their biological clocks thrown completely out of sync. As a result the bureaucracy of the world, and every world in the Algedi Prefecture, isn't as efficient as that of other prefectures. Only the Algedian Azami, long-settled on this arid world, seem to have adjusted. When they leave Algedi, however, they are terrified of the dark. During the Succession Wars era the ISF maintained a large contingent on the world, but they kept a low profile. The ISF rated Algedi as a high priority because the Azami who lived on the world weren't technically subjects of the Dragon, but an ally.[2]

Imported life-forms adapted to desert life are flourishing on the planet. Asketen Sand Walkers and Terran Burros are commonly seen grazing on tough grasses and cacti. Some minor deposits of gold have been discovered on the planet, but not enough to warrant exploitation. The Azami of Algedi are very independent, which has often led to clashes between their ways and those of the Combine. They own half of the planet, and non-Azami are not allowed to enter their “Desert Paradise.” The ISF presence here is fairly high but inconspicuous.

On the 11th of August 3071, following a rogue asteroid strike on Arkab and a perceived lack of assistance from the government of the Draconis Combine, the Azami leadership recalled all of the remaining Arkab Legions back to Algedi, against the orders of the Coordinator.[23][24] A few months later on the 12th of November Coordinator Hohiro Kurita issued an ultimatum to the Azami on Algedi, demanding that the Arkab Legions either "mobilize for the Dragon's defense or face the Dragon's wrath."[23][25]

The form of this promised wrath became clear in late January 3072, when the Kirishima-class WarShip Siriwan arrived bearing an ultimatum from Gunji-no-Kanrei Kiyomori Minamoto. The Siriwan bombarded two of the Azami cities before being destroyed in orbit by nuclear weapons.[25][26] The DCMS sent troops armed with tactical nuclear weapons to liberate the captives taken during the abortive assault by the Siriwan, and those troops managed to breach the defenses on Algedi on the 12th of April.[25][27]

In the wake of the Jihad the Azami and the Combine attempted to defuse the tensions that had built up between the two groups by agreeing a compromise which saw all of the Azami Brotherhood worlds other than Algedi transfer into the new Republic of the Sphere. Algedi remained within the Combine, serving as a border haven for those Azami who wished to retain their loyalties to the Combine, and as such Algedi was accorded a semi-neutral status between the Combine and the Republic. Despite the agreement the hostility felt between some parties still hadn't abated in 3081.[28]
