The '''Australia''' system is the location of at least one habitable world - '''Australia III''' - and as of [[3151]] was located in the [[Coventry Province]] of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].<ref name=SFp102/>
 
 
__TOC__
 
 
== System Description ==
 
The Australia system is located near the [[Mandaoaaru]] and [[Tangua]] systems<ref name=ER:3145p39/> and consists of a class K8V primary orbited by at least three worlds. In the [[thirty-first century]] there was a recharge station located at the Zenith [[jump point]] in the system.<ref name=OTP:FIp5/>
 
 
== System History ==
 
The Australia system was colonized at some point during the [[Star League era]] after the end of the [[Reunification War]].<ref name="H:RWp158"/><ref name="HB:MPSp25"/>

Australia III - more commonly known simply as Australia - is the third planet in the Australia system and has a single moon named Perth. For much of the history of the Lyran Commonwealth Australia was the site of a Commonwealth Mint and Reserve Bank, making Australia III an important financial center.
 
  
===Planetary Info===
+
==Owner History==
Australia is vitally important to the Lyran state despite its unimportant location and relative lack of resources. It is the home of one of the Commonwealth's Mint and Reserve Banks, making it a vital financial center. Most of the bank's entrances and exits are classified, and only a few people have attempted a robbery. The few intrepid souls that have made it through one of the entrances were quickly killed or captured in the outermost ring of defenses.<ref name=OTP:FIp5/>

After the "[[Birthday Proclamations]]" of 2755, Australia was host to the headquarters of the [[LIX Corps (Star League)|LIX Corps]] of the [[Star League Defense Force]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 234: "LIX Corps"</ref>
 
  
====Clan Invasion====

==Planetary Info==
Prior to the [[Clan Invasion]] the [[Eleventh Lyran Regulars]] were transferred off the world to reinforce the [[Lyons Thumb]]. The banking institutes on the world took it upon themselves to finance a small security force to defend their interests. This corps of private security often trained with and exercised against the local militia unit.<ref name=OTP:FIp5/>

When [[Clan Jade Falcon]] attacked the planet in February [[3058]] during [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|their first incursion]], the Australian militia - primarily a conventional force - operated in hiding from the Outback Woodlands and tried slowing the Falcon advance with minefields and hidden defensive positions. These efforts had little effect on the Falcons' momentum and the angered Clanners easily crushed any defenders they found.<ref name=OTP:FIp8>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 8</ref><ref name=OTP:FIp21>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 21</ref>
