Owner History

Planetary Info

Buchlau was settled for its fish. The planet only has a single continent, Vienna, which is surrounded by a massive ocean. This ocean is teeming with life. Fish are plentiful in these waters, some of them as large as Terra's killer whale. Shortly after it was settled, Buchlau started exporting its fish to nearby worlds. It was able to maintain these exports throughout the early Succession Wars for one simple reason: Buchlau has no military worth or strategic value. During the Fourth Succession War the AFFS took control of Buchlau. The Capellans made no move to recover the world until the chaos of Operation Guerrero, when pro-Capellan insurgents tried to stir up nationalist feelings. George Hasek spent a great deal of money to counter these insurgents and keep the world as part of the Capellan March.[1]

The capital of Buchlau is Belgrade, which is located on the large plateau in the center of Vienna. This plateau is surrounded by dense jungle. The landscape makes the name "Buchlau" amusing, as Buchlau was named after a Germanic style castle located in the Terran province of Moravia.[1]

After hearing how the Word of Blake treated Algol and Algot, the governor of the world contacted the Blakists and offered to surrender. This kept the world in one piece and able to provide food to neighboring systems.
