Alya II - more commonly known simply as Alya - is the second of nine planets in the Alya system. Alya and its single moon, Xanadu, are characterised by both the unusual elongated revolutionary cycle around the system primary and by Xanadu's unusual orbital path, both of which are the result of the gravitational influence of the huge gas giant in the outer reaches of the Alya system.<ref name=DARWp4/>

Alya was first settled for its mineral and fuel resources. The planet has a hostile atmosphere, and as such cannot grow crops in the soil. To survive the Alya's residents used hydroponic farms to grow their crops. Making things more interesting for the colonists was the presence of a large gas giant in the outer orbit of Alya's primary star. The immense gravity from this gas giant affects all the members of the Alya system, resulting in an unusually complicated day/night and seasonal cycle.

Despite these challenges, Alya's rich petroleum resources allowed local plastics and petrochemical industries to thrive.

The Alya system is home to at least one inhabited world, Alya II, and as at 3145 is located in the Algedi Prefecture of the Dieron Military District within the Draconis Combine.[2][3]

System Description

The Alya system has a class G2IV star and nine planets; one of the outer planets in the system is an abnormally large gas giant that has a strong gravitational influence on the other planets within the system.[1] The Alya system is located near the Altais and Kaus Borealis systems.[2][3]

System History

The Alya system had been settled by the mid-twenty-fourth century[4] and may have been settled during the First Exodus from Terra.

Alya II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Alya II - more commonly known simply as Alya - is the second of nine planets in the Alya system. Alya and its single moon, Xanadu, are characterised by both the unusual elongated revolutionary cycle around the system primary and by Xanadu's unusual orbital path, both of which are the result of the gravitational influence of the huge gas giant in the outer reaches of the Alya system.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

Alya was first settled for its mineral and fuel resources. The planet has a hostile atmosphere, and as such cannot grow crops in the soil. To survive the Alya's residents used hydroponic farms to grow their crops. Making things more interesting for the colonists was the presence of a large gas giant in the outer orbit of Alya's primary star. The immense gravity from this gas giant affects all the members of the Alya system, resulting in an unusually complicated day/night and seasonal cycle. The population created calendars and day planners for their world that adjusted for the unusual day/night and yearly cycles, and these calendars remained in use for at least a thousand years.[1]

Despite these challenges, Alya's rich petroleum resources allowed local plastics and petrochemical industries to thrive. The refined fuels produced on this world were be used in any number of internal combustion engines. Alya was considered a low priority for conquest, and was left largely untouched by the Succession Wars.[1]

The Jihad

A mixture of Word of Blake troops and Blakist-employed mercenaries conquered Alya in a two-week campaign fought in mid-May 3069 using conventional means; Alya was then incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[5] In late August 3075 forces from Clan Ghost Bear[6][7] led by Delta Galaxy and designated Delta Wave by the Ghost Bears[8] arrived and launched a campaign to liberate the planet, ignoring all hails from Draconis Combine forces[6][7] and securing the flank of the Ghost Bear push towards Terra.[8]

Geography
