The Caselton system is home to at least one habitable world, Caselton II, and as at 3145 Caselton was located in the Robinson Operational Area of the Draconis March within the Federated Suns.[2][3]
Contents
System Description
The Caselton system is located near the Mirach and Schedar systems[2][3] and consists of seven planets orbiting a class K2IV primary.[1]
System History
The Caselton system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra.[4][5]
Caselton II
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Caselton II - more commonly known simply as Caselton - is the second planet of seven in the Caselton system.[1]
Planetary History
Despite being similar to Terra in several respects, Caselton was too dry and too cold to easily grow large amounts of Terran crops. Similarly it had enough mineral resources to support its population, but not enough to export. This resulted in a world with a low population that enjoyed zero population growth during the Dark Age.[1]
Succession Wars
The only real asset Caselton possessed was its proximity to Tikonov. Though the Capellan Confederation briefly held the world in the First Succession War, Caselton was under the control of the Federated Suns for most of its history. The AFFS took advantage of the system's proximity to Tikonov by establishing heavy defenses against CCAF raids, including several underwater and underground command centers and military bases.[1]
First Succession War
Caselton was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[6]
The Jihad
The defenses built to resist Capellan raids stopped several Blakist assaults during the Jihad, but the Republic of the Sphere dismantled many of them during the post-Jihad peace.[1] The first Word of Blake assault on Caselton fell in September 3069, where mercenaries in the employ of the Blakists made several attacks on Caselton but failed to seize the world.[7] While the Blakists eventually managed to occupy Caselton during the Jihad, AFFS forces landed on Caselton as well as the nearby worlds of Mirach and Schedar on the 2nd of December 3076 and attempted to liberate the world. The AFFS forces were unsupported by the allied coalition assembled by Devlin Stone, and the assaults were quickly slowed by the defending forces; it was reported that the assault was planned and launched by rogue elements within the AFFS command, explaining the lack of support from the coalition.[8][9]
The fact that the world was primarily settled for military reasons is reflected in the names of the continents and capital city. The capital, Battlement, is located on the continent of Embrasure while Merlon missed the opportunity to have the capital.[1] Battlement, Merlon, and Embrasure are all terms from military engineering, specifically fortifications.
