The Asturias system is the location of at least one inhabited world, Asturias V, and as at 3086 is located in the Deep Periphery nation known as the Escorpión Imperio.[2]

System Description

The Asturias system is located near the León and Valencia systems[3] and consists of a class G6V primary orbited by at least five planets.[1]

System History

Asturias was one of the systems that formed a part of the region in the Deep Periphery known as Nueva Castile.[3]

Asturias V

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Asturias V - more commonly known simply as Asturias - is the fifth planet in the Asturias system and for centuries served as the capital of the Castilian Principalities. Asturias was home to one of the few defense industries to be found within Nueva Castile[1] prior to the Clan Goliath Scorpion invasion.

Planetary History

Asturias was one of the worlds that formed a part of the Deep Periphery region known as Nueva Castile, and was the traditional capital of the Castilian Principalities.[3] In 3080 Nueva Castile was invaded by Clan Goliath Scorpion, who had been Abjured by the other Clans within the Clan Homeworlds. The Goliath Scorpions were in urgent need of resources following the loss of all of their holdings in the Homeworlds, and had raided a number of worlds within the region in the preceeding decade. Having planned for an invasion of Nueva Castile at some point, the Abjuration of the Goliath Scorpions precipitated an immediate invasion, but having conquered both the Castilian Principalities and the Umayyad Caliphate the Goliath Scorpions then attempted to integrate the three disparate nations into a single new nation, the Escorpión Imperio.[2] The Goliath Scorpions established the capital of the Escorpión Imperio to Granada.[2]

Notes

As information on Nueva Castile is sparse, the designation "Nueva Castile" has been used to show the political affiliation of Aragon until a source confirms whether the world is currently a part of the Castilian Principalities or the Umayyad Caliphate in any given year.
