System Description
The Algol system had at least one active recharge station in the thirty-first century, which was located at the system's zenith jump point.[1]
System History
The Algol system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra.[5]
Algol IV
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Algol IV - more commonly referred to simply as Algol - is the fourth planet in the Algol system and has two moons named Hargrove and Sung.[2]
Planetary History
When the first settlers colonised Algol they built their capital city, Algol City, on the coast of Shalom to take advantage of the rich supply of fish there. The discovery that the continent of Durant was covered in rich fertile soil led to it being developed for agricultural concerns, and Algol would go on to be an exporter to every planet within a jump of itself.[2][1] During the early part of the twenty-third century the power of the Terran Alliance was waning, and the Tikonov Union launched a military campaign that captured Algol as well as the worlds of Rio, Mirach, Tybalt and Ruchbah.[6] Algol would continue to be a member of the Union after the Tikonov Union became the Tikonov Grand Union in 2243.[7]
By the 2350s the Tikonov Grand Union was experiencing severe turmoil due to internal economic problems and external conflicts. Having lost a war with the Terran Hegemony over the worlds of the Chisholm Protectorate in the late 2330s,[8] the Grand Union then found itself battling the Federated Suns in the 2340s.[9] The nearby Sarna Supremacy looked to capitalize on the Grand Union's problems by annexing various Grand Union worlds, and elements of the 141st and 173rd Sarna Shock Brigades landed on Algol and the nearby world of Slocum in 2351.[9] In 2358, the new president of the Capellan Commonality, Selek Tucas, declared himself the arbitrater of the dispute between the Supremacy and the Grand Union and awarded ownership of Algol, Slocum and Azha to the Supremacy;[10] despite this, by 2366 Algol would be a member of the Tikonov Grand Union again.[11]
Fourth Succession War
The Ariana Fusiliers were defeated on this world during the Fourth Succession War. The ruler of the world at that time, Count Wayne Hargrove-Sung negotiated with the AFFS to surrender the world. Doing so prevented further damage to the planet's agricultural base.[1]
Jihad
During the last two weeks of October 3069 the Word of Blake launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defences; Algol was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.[12]
After the Federated Suns took control of the world, the AFFS created a massive munitions plant and storage depot in the city of Groffer's Toll. The Blakist commander used the storage depot as a prison for the AFFS members who had surrendered. They tried to break out, and the Blakists destroyed the prison, killing nearly everyone.[2]
