The Chirikof system was home to at least one habitable world, Chirikof IV, and as at 3145 was the administrative capital of the Chirikof Operational Area of the Crucis March within the Federated Suns.[3][4]

System Description

The Chirikof system is located near the Cambiano and Noatak systems[3][4] and consists of a class G9V primary orbited by at least four planets. During the thirty-first century recharge stations were in place at both of the system jump points.[1][2]

System History

The Chirikof system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra.[5] Chirikof was an important administrative world within the Crucis March for much of its history and one of three operational area capital worlds within the March.[1]

Chirikof IV

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Chirikof IV - more commonly referred to simply as Chirikof - is the fourth planet in the Chirikof system and has two moons named Madden and Pietrikof.[1]

Planetary History

Chirikof was a waystation for travelers in the Federated Suns Outback. The Armed Forces of the Federated Suns made the world headquarters for the Chirikof Operations Area, a part of the Crucis March which covered the area between the Capellan March and the Taurian Concordat. Originally settled as a mining colony, the world exported germanium to Galax well into the thirty-first century. As expansion efforts along the Taurian border grew, Chirikof became more and more important as a travel stop. Ships and crews would use Chirikof as a base station during their explorations, which stimulated the Federated Suns' leadership to build space stations and permanently station military forces there.[1]

The increased number of ships and resulting docking fees were welcomed by the citizens of the world as the mining operations greatly reduced their output. Chirikof was still a key part of the transportation network for the Outback in the late thirty-first century, with ships constantly traveling to and from the system. To defend against pirates and other threats, the AFFS High Command had permanently stationed two regiments of marines, a regiment of special forces, and several brigades of active duty and militia conventional forces on the world. Several wings of AeroSpace Fighters and DropShips guarded the space stations from threats.[1]

Before the Periphery March was fully activated, Chirikof acted as the headquarters for General Raymond-Roger Marsin's operations in the Outback.[2]
