Owner History

Planetary Info

First settled in after 2341 but before 2499, Cebalrai was originally settled as a "rest stop" for travelers and colonists heading to other worlds. The planet itself has little to offer to settlers, having a thin atmosphere that lets large amounts of solar radiation through. To combat this, the early settlers raised reflective domes and screens over their cities. Though nuclear weapons were used on the world extensively during the Age of War, depopulating the world before 2499, Star League engineers were able to restore the planet's ecosphere and remove the radiation from the water and air. This allowed the inhabitants of Cebalrai to thrive.[1]

Even the Succession Wars didn't inflict much damage on the world. The world saw some battles between the Lyran Commonwealth and Draconis Combine, but nothing to match the nuclear holocaust of the Age of War.[1] When the Word of Blake attacked Cebalrai in mid-May 3069 they conquered the world in a conventional campaign fought with a mixture of Blakist troops and hired mercenaries, soon incorporating the world into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[7]

During the Jihad however, the Word of Blake forces on the world used several neutron bombs to destroy the Clan Ghost Bear forces attacking Cebalrai in late August 3075. The resulting explosions killed many of the Ghost Bear warriors and effectively wiped out the 7th Bear Regulars and the 69th Provisional Garrison Cluster,[8][9] but enough survived to completely annihilate the Blakists.[1]

The Republic of the Sphere established a memorial to the Ghost Bears who died liberating the world. A huge sculpture of a Ghost Bear, carved from obsidian, stands in the center of Kamrin, the location of the final conflict between the Ghost Bears and the Blakists.[10]

Notes

It was confirmed by the Line Developers that Cebalrai was colonised, depopulated and then repopulated between 2341 and 2499:

The planet was founded after 2341, but before 2499, was depopulated during the Age of War, and repopulated during the Star League.
