The Deneb Kaitos system was home to at least one habitable world, Deneb Kaitos III, and as at 3145 was located in the remains of the Robinson Operational Area of the Draconis March within the Federated Suns.[2][3]

System Description

The Deneb Kaitos system is located near the Ankaa and Hean systems[4] and consists of a class K2III primary orbited by nine planets.[1]

System History

The Deneb Kaitos system was colonised by the Terran Hegemony[1] and had been colonised by the time the Capellan Confederation was founded in the mid-twenty-fourth century.[5]

Deneb Kaitos III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard

Deneb Kaitos III - more commonly known simply as Deneb Kaitos - is an unremarkable world dominated by rolling grasslands and tundra, and has two moons named Diphda and Shemali.[1]

Planetary History

Though briefly controlled by the Capellan Confederation during the Third Succession War, Deneb Kaitos has long been a part of the Federated Suns. In that realm it is best known as the homeworld of the Deneb Light Cavalry regiments. Many of the warriors of the DLC have traded Deneb Kaitos' tundra and grasslands for service in the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. After the fall of the first Star League one of the regiments most strongly associated with Deneb Kaitos - the Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry - chose not to depart on the Exodus with Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky and the bulk of the Star League Defense Force. The fall of the Star League had led to starvation on Deneb Kaitos as food shipments were cut off, and the Fourth - then one of the SLDF Rapid Deployment Mixed Armed Forces (RMDAF) regiments - agreed to sign on with the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in exchange for food shipments to support the planetary population.[1]

The Jihad

The Word of Blake launched a wave of attacks during the first two weeks of July 3069 that targeted the worlds of Bharat, Deneb Kaitos, Ingress, Kawich and Ruchbah. Deneb Kaitos was one of the worlds to fall in the face of a conventional assault, and was incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[6] During their assault the Word of Blake forces destroyed the Fourth Deneb Light Cavalry as a combat force. Years later during Operation SCOUR, the FedSuns task force liberated the world and discovered that the remains of the Fourth DLC had been fighting a guerrilla resistance war since the destruction of the regiment. They were assisted in this by the many veterans and retirees from the DLC.[1] As of 3085 the world is home to the rebuilding Fourth DLC.[7]
