Planetary Information

Terra-like world, with a single moon named Wendigo. Atreus' land area is comprised of four continents: Ionia, Corin, Lanan, and Paltos, which is home to many of the Free Worlds League's rich and famous. The planet has five named bodies of water: Atreide Ocean, Soyuz Ocean, Northern Sea, Parthenon Sea, and Ewen Sea.

As of 3067, the planet imported the majority of the food it required to support its population.[2]

Land Marks

  • Atreus City - The city is the capital of the Free Worlds League, which is located on the Ionis continent. It is the seat of the Free Worlds League's government. The city is quite cosmopolitan, where various League nobility meet and seek entertainment. Due to its reputation, the city has become known as the City of Dreams, and was a popular vacation destination prior to the events of the Jihad. Atreus City's land mass sprawls across a dozen hills, the architecture of its buildings spanning a score of traditions from neo-classical to minimalist.[3] Atreus City was one of the few on planet which were not planned. When it was decided to make the city the site of League's capital it had sprawling hillside neighborhoods make the city more attractive than more austere cities of the time found in Marik, Ortiente and Regulus. As of 3025, Atreus City was one of the last Successor State capitals that still stood intact. [4] The city suffered under a biological attack inflicted in 3068.

The planet hosts a number of schools, including Athene Combat School, Atreus Officer Training College, & St. Catherine’s University (Medical School).

Planetary History

Early Years

Colonized in 2160 as part of First Exodus from Terra. The planet was one of Terra's most distant colonies at the time. The world became capital world of the Free Worlds League in 2271.

Atreus was conquered in 2246 by forces from the Republic of Marik; the forcible induction of Atreus into the Republic resulted in the Republic reinventing itself as the Marik Commonwealth, with Charles Marik as leader.[5]

Reunification War

During the Reunification War Atreus was one of several worlds within the Free Worlds League that prisoners captured during the war between the Star League and the Magistracy of Canopus where prisoners were interned. While troublesome prisoners were interned in prisons, the majority of the internment facilities resembled military barracks, and with the Canopians lacking any of the paperwork or identification required for interstellar travel conditions were rather relaxed. While prisoner rosters were taken and checked, the Canopians were given access to sports, leisure and education facilities, as well as a small stipend. Many of the MAF officers actually found themselves being invited by the local military and nobility to soirees and events where the Canopians were the guest of honor. This was tacitly - or possibly actively - encouraged by Captain-General Marion Marik as both a demonstration to the Canopians of the benefits of life available under the Star League and as a reminder to First Lord Ian Cameron of the benefits of applying a carrot to the Periphery nations, rather than a stick. Many of the Canopian prisoners who returned to the Magistracy after the war became active and vocal supporters of integration with the Star League as a result of their humane treatment during the war.[6]

Jihad

BioChemical Raid of Atreus City

On the 3rd of October 3068 the Knights of the Inner Sphere were the subject of a surprise recall order, bringing them back to Atreus from their assignment as a part of Marshall Jeremy Brett's Operation BROKEN FIST counteroffensive against the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance.[7] The Knights arrived on Atreus on the 24th of October, and were the receipients of a hastily-arranged honour parade on the 25th[7] when a Word of Blake Overlord Class Dropship and other aerospace elements attacked Aterus City during parade honoring the Knights of the Inner Sphere, using chemical weapons to killing the bulk of Parliament and the Knights. The escaping dropship was destroyed by pro-League forces.[8] The Word of Blake forces' biochemical agents killed many of the Knights in the streets of Atreus City along with the bulk of the League parliament[7] as well as a damaging the Parliament building of the League. As the attack commenced a Blakist propoganda stream was broadcast declaring that Captain-General Thomas Marik was a fraud; shortly after the attack, the local communications network was disrupted across a wide area, and a massive naval engagement erupted in the Atreus system as the pro-Word and pro-League elements of the Free Worlds League Navy began attacking each other.[7]

Coup of 3069

Fighting on Atreus by pro-Blakist troops attempt to oust both the false Thomas Marik through, even after false Thomas Marik is removed in July 3069. Paul Marik, real-Thomas Marik's brother installed his daughter, Corinne Marik, as Captain-General of the League. During this period Word of Blake forces begun using Atreus as training base, with the 15th Division taking up garrisoning the planet in Paltos region.[9]

Battle of Atreus City of 3076

In 3076, Thomas Halas (formerly the false Thomas Marik), launched a raid, attempting to rescue survivors of the 1st Knights of the Inner Sphere. His forces included the 2nd Knights of the Inner Sphere, and they saw action against the 15th Division and supported by Marik-Commonwealth forces of the 2nd Free Worlds Legionnaires and the 8th Free Worlds Legionnaires in a campaign that ran through Atreus City and into its southern suburbs. The battle ultimately left several million homeless and thousand dead. It left the city storied Interstellar Botanic Gardens and Technology Museum in aftermath of the conflict.[10]

Blakist Final Stand on Atreus

Marik Commonwealth forces consisting of the 2nd and 8th Free Worlds Legionnaires turn on their Blakist "allies" in wake of Alys Rousset-Marik and her Resistance arrival in orbit. The Legionnaries storm the Blakist's Karpov Training Range in the Paltos Mountains where they clash with the 15th and 30th Divisions in battle of survival. Alys' forces in orbit clash with the Division's Pocket WarShip forces. However, League forces storming the control fail stop the Blakist from sending distress call from its HPG. This left the orbiting Blakist forces to use Nuclear weaponry on land and orbital targets provide cover for its retreating allied units. Few Blakist escape, Resistance sets up a detention at the Karpov training range.[11]

Dissolution of the Free Worlds League

The last assembly of the Free Worlds League parliament was held on Atreus on the 28th of January 3079. The final vote of the parliament was on the subject of the dissolution of the League; of the 83 votes polled, 75 were in favour of disbanding the League. As a result, the confederation of member states was dissolved, and the Free Worlds League disbanded as a nation.[12]

Dark Age Era

Atreus city is in ruins by 3138, the majority world population is malnutrition. The city itself had fallen into ruins by neglect. The Marik-Stewart Commonwealth claimed the world after the Jihad, however no move was made to restore the capital city. However its manufacturing facilities (Imstar Aerospace) were restored. The world was used briefly as the temporary capital of the Commonwealth at beginning of the Steiner Invasion of 3137, but it was moved yet again to Stewart.

The world has three continents: Corin, Lanan and nobility controlled Paltos, an isolated rocky island continent. After the fall of Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, Regulan Fiefs' forces invaded the world in 22 July, 3138. They easily took control the world, with no resistance. Captain-General Cameron-Jones order the restoration of the old FWL's House of Parliament and to bring food to the people whom he witnessed the state of starvation they were suffering from.

In April, 3139, the Regulans lost control of the planet to a coalition force of the new Free World League, lead by Warden Thaddeus Marik in Operation Homecoming. Coalition leaders, began restoring the capital, including helping restore health of the residents of planet. By July 3rd, the world became the capital of the new Free World League.
