The Barlow's End system was the location of at least one habitable world or construct and as at 3145 was the Prefecture capital of the Barlow's End Prefecture of the New Samarkand Military District within the Draconis Combine.[1][2]

System Description

The Barlow's End system lies close to the Tishomingo and Udibi systems.[1][2]

System History

The Barlow's End system was colonized during the First Exodus from Terra,[3] and by the end of the Age of War had been incorporated into the Federated Suns.[4]

Planetary History

Star League Era

The planet's capital city was a sprawling mega-city covering 16,000 square kilometers and was named Rough Patch. It was a dense network of tunnels and habitation domes. Many of these domes were built prior to the completion of the terraforming process. However, even when the planet was deemed fully habitable, the city continued to grow underground to protect its inhabitants against the solar flares from the system's sun. Despite the flares, the world was originally colonized for the massive germanium and iridium deposits found on world. Rough Patch is built on top of those first mining sites.[47]

First Succession War

Barlow's End was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[14] Barlow's End was liberated by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in 2809 as part of the second major AFFS counter-offensive of the First Succession War against the Draconis Combine.[15]

Third Succession War

Thanks to terraforming, the planet Barlow's End is now habitable, with a breathable atmosphere and wooded areas. Notable locations include the Shaw district; the Landova sector, where a principal highway heads south from the city, turns west and crosses the Shaw River Valley over a flood control dam; the Shaw River (which is completely dry at certain times in the year); the densely wooded Renbourn Forestry Reserve; and Millon's Wood.[48]

The Achernar Proving Grounds, a military facility conducting research and/or manufacture, are located in Landova.[49]
