System Information
X:Y Coordinates66.16 : -29.00[e]
Spectral classG4IV[1]
Planet(s)10[1]

The Basalt system was the location of at least one habitable world, Basalt IV, and as at 3145 was located in the Tikonov Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.[2][3]

System Description

The Basalt system is located close to the Nopah and Tigress systems[2][3] and consists of ten planets orbiting a class G4IV primary.[1]

System History

The Basalt system was colonised at some point prior to the end of the Reunification War.[4]

Basalt IV

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Basalt IV - more commonly referred to simply as Basalt - was the fourth planet of ten in the Basalt system and had three moons named Granite, Marble and Slate.

Planetary History

Basalt was one of the first worlds settled by explorers from the Terran Hegemony. With its vast stores of rare metals and minerals, mining companies eagerly sent employees out to the world. Despite the high gravity, incredible air pressure, and wild weather, the world has long been a source of excellent raw materials.[1]

After the fall of the first Star League the Federated Suns grabbed Basalt. During the Succession Wars the Capellan Confederation tried several times to take the world, but was repelled each time. The most notable instance was during the Fourth Succession War, when the two major cities of the world were attacked by the CCAF in an attempt to halt the Davion advance. Elements of the First Kerr's Intruders, McCrimmon's Light Cavalry, and MacGregor's Armored Scouts landed outside Zander's Delight. They faced the Fourth Davion Guards RCT, taking serious losses, and surrendering to the AFFS after they discovered that the warehouses were empty.[5]

The second Capellan attack was headed by a half battalion from Warrior House Ijori supported by five companies of the 1st New Hessen Irregulars. They attacked unexpectedly, dropping forces directly on the warehouses in Controssa. The Fourth Crucis Lancers's Second Battalion bore the brunt of the Capellan's anger once they discovered the warehouses were empty. Unfortunately the Capellan's focus on destroying the Second Battalion allowed the rest of the Fourth Crucis to surround the Capellans. All the Capellan attackers were destroyed in the ensuing firefight.[5]

The Word of Blake conquered Basalt in September 3069, incorporating it into the Word of Blake Protectorate[6] and hoarding its mineral wealth for themselves. This resulted in a planet-wide economic depression that only started to lighten when the world became part of the Republic of the Sphere.[1]
