System Description
The David system is located near the Fellanin II and Tallassee systems[4] and consists of a class F8IV primary orbited by two planets.[1]
System History
The David system was colonised at some point prior to the end of the Reunification War.[5]
David II
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard David II - more commonly known simply as David - is the second planet in the system.[1]
Planetary History
Forty percent of David's surface is covered with water. This would not be a problem except for the fact that a microbe in the water table causes severe allergic reactions to anyone who isn't immune to it. The early settlers weren't immune, and some rapid medical engineering was needed to create an effective inoculation. As of 3025, the local population was completely immune to the microbe, but any visitors from other worlds still needed to take inoculations to eat or drink any of the local foodstuffs.[1]
David has many minerals and metal ores in the crust, which attracted the early settlers and which fuelled local light industry. David also maintained a small farming operation which provided enough food to feed the population, but not enough to export, even if the presence of the microbe in all plants and animals from David wouldn't have rendered such an export operation futile.[1]
Having been subject to a number of deep raids across several worlds by Federated Suns commandoes and Draconis March forces seeking POWs from the FedCom Civil War in early August 3068[6], the Draconis Combine retaliated by launching a series of raids and attacks against Federated Suns worlds. The retaliatory attacks took place in the second week of September, and David was one of the worlds captured by Combine forces.[7]
