Antallos III is the third planet in the Antallos system, and is an arid world with two moons. Following the collapse of the Star League civilization on Antallos collapsed quickly, and by the [[thirty-first century]] the barren wastes ("Free Zones") of Antallos were home to the worst of humanity. The chemically and biologically-tainted Free Zones were home to roving gangs and itinerant pirate bands. The economy of Antallos, such as it is, ran off of (mainly illegal) free trade.
  
===History===

== Planetary History ==
 +
Antallos was originally planned as a Star League trading outpost. It was to be a neutral planet where anyone can come to do business.
  
First settled in [[2674]] as a joint venture by companies from the [[Draconis Combine]], [[Federated Suns]], [[Outworlds Alliance]], and [[Terran Hegemony]], Antallos was originally planned as a Star League trading outpost.  It was to be a neutral planet where anyone can come to do business.
+
The bold experiment was a huge success in the era of the Star League.  Wealthy patrons, eager to establish their own fortunes on the otherwise barren frontier world, created successful enclaves that drew in billions and eventually caused the Star League to plant their own bases on the planet in the interest of security.{{cn}}

+
When the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] broke out, the Draconis Combine (among others) ravaged the planet for its [[lostech]], eventually massacring half the population. This catastrophe resulted in the collapse of civilization, and Antallos's city-states started fighting amongst themselves. Combatants deployed weapons of every type except atomic and nuclear. As technology and resources dwindled, the intensity and barbarism of these wars have remained unchecked.{{cn}}

During the mid-3050s, the planet was adopted by the rogue mercenary unit [[Vinson's Vigilantes]], which attempted to be the planet's guardians while trying to get work. Also during this time, Pirate King, [[Vance Rezak]] and the [[Band of the Damned]] established their own estates on the outskirts of the city-states. The two powerful factions clashed with each other over the course of years, until [[3065]]Where the Vigilantes command collapsed following a failed assault on the Band, before the survivors then joined the Band peacefully. The Damned becomes a powerful faction on the planet.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'' p. 199, "Pirates" - Band of the Damned - Band of the Damned absorbs rogue Vigilantes unit and become powerful faction on planet in 3065.</ref>
  
===Conditions===
+
Antallos was a harsh world by the [[thirty-first century]]. In the northern hemisphere, the Sea of Despair was a vast lifeless desert surrounded by the few city-states which managed to trade across it. To the south were the Shattered Wastes, a badlands region thousands of kilometers long that held the distinction of being one of the roughest areas in the Periphery. The planet’s most vicious native predators lived here among the hidden oases that held small communities.{{cn}}
  
Antallos is a hot, dry, and mostly barren.  Almost 90% of the planet is land most of which is either featureless deserts or rugged badlands, referred to as "Free Zones"Most of these are rendered uninhabitable by hostile native wildlife and the residue from biological and chemical warfare. The planet has five large seas and lakes, two small polar caps, and thick untamed jungle that dominates the equatorial regions.
+
Scattered around the world were just over thirty generally dome-enclosed city-states which provided a semblance of order for the majority of the world's population. As there was no central government, these city-states were independent, providing only their residents with security against the Zone Gangs that drifted through the Free Zones.  City-states often financed their existence through slavery and narcotics trafficking as well as other more serious activities. The defense of each city-state was provided by armies of slaves.{{cn}}

Antallos became home to a small but growing collection of ''[[dezgra]]'' Clansmen and survivors of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] after the [[Clan Invasion]]. Now belonging to the Clans' [[Dark Caste]], these survivors, of all types, formed their own version of a Zone GangClan "gypsies" and other nomadic raiders employed every type of weaponry from deadly fauna to BattleMechs and wandered the Free Zones between the cities preying on travelers and other gangs. When demanded, itinerant raiders would sporadically bid their services to local warlords for crucial goods.{[cn}}
  
===Society===
+
Antallos was also home to outlaws aligned with every major organized crime syndicate within the Inner Sphere, pirates and renegades (including [[Vinson's Vigilantes]]), outcasts, prospectors, adventurers and political extremists (including [[Citizens for Davion Puirty]]).{{cn}}

The largest and wealthiest city on the planet during the thirty-first century was [[Port Krin]].
  
Antallos has recently become home to a small but growing collection of ''[[dezgra]]'' Clansmen and survivors of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].  Now belonging to the Clans’ [[Dark Caste]], these survivors, of all types, have formed their own version of a Zone Gang.  Clan “gypsies” and other nomadic raiders employ every type of weaponry (from deadly fauna to BattleMechs) and wander the Free Zones between the cities preying on travelers and other gangs.  When demanded, itinerant raiders will sporadically bid their services to local warlords for crucial goods.
+
There were no formal mercenary hiring halls or anything even resembling a hiring hall on Antallos. Since most of the mercenaries coming to this world were down-on-their-luck or wanted men, and hiring halls were impractical. Many of the mercenary groups had a price on their head, yet they made themselves available to hire in the hopes of finding a way out of their predicament and finding a small amount of legitimacy.
  
Antallos is also home to outlaws aligned with every major organized crime syndicate within the Inner Sphere, pirates and renegades (including [[Vinson's Vigilantes]]), outcasts, prospectors, adventurers and political extremists (including [[Citizens for Davion Puirty]]).
+
Most of the deals that were brokered through this planet were those types that no normal mercenary group would take.  Contracts were sometimes signed as a result of trickery or force, and even included pirates as employers.{{cn}}

The wealthiest and largest city on the planet, Port Krin was first established soon after the colonists arrived. Located on the eastern shores of TaliSea, “the Port” evolved into a freshwater fishing community made rich by a gold rush. When the Succession Wars broke out, the city was devastated as pirates and Combine raiders constantly sacked the world.

Those city-states that managed to survive the Succession Wars were forced to rebuild their economies through illegal projects, and Port Krin was no exception.  The Port became a haven for smugglers and slavers and was also one of the most aggressive city-states to rise from the first two Succession Wars.  Port Krin became a refuge for pirates eager to conceal themselves from authorities or sell their enslaved persons and other illegal gains.  Shortly after the [[4th Succession War]], fortune favored Port Krin; several small caches of [[lostech]] survived and were discovered in the Free Zone near the city, bringing a flood of treasure-hunters (and their money).

Today the politics of the Port remain as deadly as ever.  Numerous groups have taken over the City, each one worse than the last.  The latest in a long line of rulers is [[Vance Rezak]] and his [[Band of the Damned]].  Despite this, the city is run reasonably well. Brutal punishment is meted out on the spot for murder and thievery, assuming the culprits can not bribe themselves free.  This type of law enforcement maintains enough order for the city to collect taxes and assures that local traders are not disrupted.

Port Krin not only thrives on the slave, drug and weapons trades, but also on the less important commerce provided by its own dueling circuit.  Similar to the Solaris VII games, the Port hosts its own arenas for [[BattleMech|‘Mech]] and man-to-man combat. An entire entertainment industry has grown up around these “games”, including gambling, nightclubs and even a local media outlet centered on [[Krin Entertainment, Incorporated]].

System Information
X:Y Coordinates463.23:281.42[e]
Spectral classK4IV
Recharge time195 hours
Recharge station(s)None

The Antallos system is the location of at least one inhabited world, Antallos III - also referred to as Port Krin - and as at 3145 was an independent world within the Periphery.[1][2]

System Description

The Antallos system is located in the Periphery near the Enif and Greypearl systems[3] and has a K4IV-class primary star.

System History

The Antallos system was settled in 2764 as a joint venture by companies from the Draconis Combine, Federated Suns, Outworlds Alliance and Terran Hegemony, with the intention that the system would serve as a Star League trading post.[citation needed]

Antallos III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Antallos III is the third planet in the Antallos system, and is an arid world with two moons. Following the collapse of the Star League civilization on Antallos collapsed quickly, and by the thirty-first century the barren wastes ("Free Zones") of Antallos were home to the worst of humanity. The chemically and biologically-tainted Free Zones were home to roving gangs and itinerant pirate bands. The economy of Antallos, such as it is, ran off of (mainly illegal) free trade.

Planetary History

Antallos was originally planned as a Star League trading outpost. It was to be a neutral planet where anyone can come to do business.

The bold experiment was a huge success in the era of the Star League. Wealthy patrons, eager to establish their own fortunes on the otherwise barren frontier world, created successful enclaves that drew in billions and eventually caused the Star League to plant their own bases on the planet in the interest of security.[citation needed]

When the Succession Wars broke out, the Draconis Combine (among others) ravaged the planet for its lostech, eventually massacring half the population. This catastrophe resulted in the collapse of civilization, and Antallos's city-states started fighting amongst themselves. Combatants deployed weapons of every type except atomic and nuclear. As technology and resources dwindled, the intensity and barbarism of these wars have remained unchecked.[citation needed]

During the mid-3050s, the planet was adopted by the rogue mercenary unit Vinson's Vigilantes, which attempted to be the planet's guardians while trying to get work. Also during this time, Pirate King, Vance Rezak and the Band of the Damned established their own estates on the outskirts of the city-states. The two powerful factions clashed with each other over the course of years, until 3065. Where the Vigilantes command collapsed following a failed assault on the Band, before the survivors then joined the Band peacefully. The Damned becomes a powerful faction on the planet.[4]

Antallos was a harsh world by the thirty-first century. In the northern hemisphere, the Sea of Despair was a vast lifeless desert surrounded by the few city-states which managed to trade across it. To the south were the Shattered Wastes, a badlands region thousands of kilometers long that held the distinction of being one of the roughest areas in the Periphery. The planet’s most vicious native predators lived here among the hidden oases that held small communities.[citation needed]

Scattered around the world were just over thirty generally dome-enclosed city-states which provided a semblance of order for the majority of the world's population. As there was no central government, these city-states were independent, providing only their residents with security against the Zone Gangs that drifted through the Free Zones. City-states often financed their existence through slavery and narcotics trafficking as well as other more serious activities. The defense of each city-state was provided by armies of slaves.[citation needed]

Antallos became home to a small but growing collection of dezgra Clansmen and survivors of Clan Smoke Jaguar after the Clan Invasion. Now belonging to the Clans' Dark Caste, these survivors, of all types, formed their own version of a Zone Gang. Clan "gypsies" and other nomadic raiders employed every type of weaponry from deadly fauna to BattleMechs and wandered the Free Zones between the cities preying on travelers and other gangs. When demanded, itinerant raiders would sporadically bid their services to local warlords for crucial goods.{[cn}}

Antallos was also home to outlaws aligned with every major organized crime syndicate within the Inner Sphere, pirates and renegades (including Vinson's Vigilantes), outcasts, prospectors, adventurers and political extremists (including Citizens for Davion Puirty).[citation needed]

The largest and wealthiest city on the planet during the thirty-first century was Port Krin.

There were no formal mercenary hiring halls or anything even resembling a hiring hall on Antallos. Since most of the mercenaries coming to this world were down-on-their-luck or wanted men, and hiring halls were impractical. Many of the mercenary groups had a price on their head, yet they made themselves available to hire in the hopes of finding a way out of their predicament and finding a small amount of legitimacy.

Most of the deals that were brokered through this planet were those types that no normal mercenary group would take. Contracts were sometimes signed as a result of trickery or force, and even included pirates as employers.[citation needed]

Clan Snow Raven’s invasion of Antallos and occupation completely disrupted all mercenary operations on the planet.[citation needed]

Geography

Antallos is a hot, dry, and mostly barren world. Almost ninety percent of the planet is land, most of which is either featureless deserts or rugged badlands, referred to as "Free Zones". Most of these Free Zones were rendered uninhabitable during the Succession Wars by hostile native wildlife and the residue from biological and chemical warfare. The planet has five large seas and lakes, two small polar caps, and thick untamed jungle that dominates the equatorial regions.[citation needed]
