Planet(s)11[1]

The Dromini system was home to at least one habitable world, Dromini VI, and as at 3145 was located in the Skandia Province of the Rasalhague Dominion.[2][3]

System Description

The Dromini system is located near the La Blon and Sabik systems[2][3] and consists of a class K8IV primary orbited by eleven planets.[1]

System History

The Dromini system was colonised at some point during the First Exodus from Terra and by the end of the Age of War had been incorporated into the Lyran Commonwealth.[4][5]

Dromini VI

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Dromini VI is the sixth planet in the Dromini system, and while it lacks a moon the planet is encircled by an impressive ring of dust and ice.[1]

Planetary History

Succession Wars

Located on the border between the Draconis Combine and Lyran Commonwealth, Dromini VI was a frequent staging ground for raids into enemy territory during the Succession Wars. The world frequently changed hands, moving between Combine and Commonwealth several times during the Succession Wars. As a result the population became a mix of German/Scottish and Japanese. Though there were frequent clashes between hotheaded members of both cultures, most of the population embraced a "live and let live" attitude.[1]

During the Third Succession War Dromini VI was probably best known as the site of Wolf's Dragoons assault into the Combine in 3021. That attack smashed the forces gathered by the Dragon for an invasion of the Commonwealth.[1]

Fourth Sucession War

In the Fourth Succession War Dromini VI was the linchpin of the the DCMS's Operation Contagion, the command and supply point of Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita's counter-invasion of the Commonwealth. Desperate to halt any Combine invasion, the LCAF sent the elite Frederick Steiner-led Tenth Lyran Guards and associated Loki support on a suicide mission, successfully inflicting heavy losses and crippling many of the Combine JumpShips, Frederick trading his life for those of his men. Following this with a more conventional invasion attempt by the heavily outnumbered First Royal Guards and the mercenary Barrett's Fusiliers, the threat of being trapped behind enemy lines finally convinced Theodore to pull his troops back.[6]

Dark Age

The generally peaceful coexistance managed by the local population on Dromini VI and a number of other worlds was the inspiration for the relocation directives imposed by Devlin Stone on the Republic of the Sphere during the Dark Age. By the mid-thirty-second century the inhabitants of Dromini VI were a heterogeneous mix of descendents from all of the Successor States bar the Capellan Confederation, as well as having some Clan heritage. The cosmopolitan lifestyle enjoyed by those living on th eplanet was a model for others throughout the Republic, as well as making Dromini VI an excellent venue for trade between the Republic and its neighbours. Whilst the planetary capital city, Franchelco, was the main trade hub on the planet, other major shipping ports and commercial centers could be found on every continent.[1]
