Planetary Info

Algorab is a binary star system surrounded by a massive cloud of gases and dust. Inside this cloud are five small planets. As the dust cloud traps radiation and heat, these five worlds have very high temperatures and radiation levels. Only the outermost world is actually habitable by humans; The other four worlds are simply huge barren rocks.[1]

With so little arable land the inhabitants of Algorab V have most of their food imported as freeze-dried meals. The planet's economy is based on mining and ore extraction. To protect themselves from the intense solar radiation, most of the Alborabians live in underground cities.[1]

In 3020 Algorab was raided by the Second Marik Militia. The Second - also known as The Fates - took heavy damage during the ill-fated raid, and while the main strike force within the Second, the Ridge Riders, survived intact the remainder of the regiment had to spend three years rebuilding.[14]

In response to the recent raids and assaults on worlds within the Word of Blake Protectorate, the Blakists launched raiding parties against various worlds around the Protectorate border in early September 3076. Making use of weapons of mass destruction to augment the damage inflicting, the raiding parties - few of which were larger than a single Level III struck at the worlds of Algorab, Alnasi, Amity, Bordon, Connaught, Hunan, Kessel, New Hessen, New Kyoto, Ronel, St. Andre, Styk, Tsitsang and Wei. Of the worlds hit, the Capellan Confederation took the brunt of the fighting.[37][38]
