Planetary Info

Dubhe is a world that orbits a binary star system. Most of the time the world has large polar icecaps but every two decades it will move between the two stars which increases the length of the planet's summer. During these longer summers the polar ice caps melt, forming superfloods that devastate everything in their path. The colonists who first arrived here took several generations to adapt to this. Only after losing the initial colony site did they move to higher ground to protect themselves. Despite these problems and the harsh winters the planet has Dubhe's residents remain to take advantage of the wide expanses of arable land and the many mineral and metal ores in the planet's crust.[1]

Planetary History

Star League

During the Star League the world was jointly administered by the Free Worlds League and the Terran Hegemony. After the Star League fell the world joined the Free Worlds League.[1]

Jihad

In late June 3070 the planetary government and military forces on Dubhe switched their allegiance to the Word of Blake, bringing the world into the Word of Blake Protectorate; Dubhe was one of six worlds to declare for the Blakists in the space of a week, pushing the Protectorate into Free Worlds League space.[17] Dubhe would remain a Blakist world until it was liberated by allied coalition forces fighting as a part of the Free Worlds League front of Operation SCOUR in January 3078.[19]

Dubhe was one of four Protectorate worlds to be attacked simultaneously on the 4th of January by forces from the Free Worlds League front of SCOUR. Attacking at less than full Group strength, the allied coalition forces tasked with liberating Dubhe were the 20th Marik Militia and Clan Nova Cat's Alpha Galaxy. The combined strength of the two coalition units was too much for the 1st and 2nd Dubhe Protectorate Militia Divisions, who quickly retreated off-world after offering only limited resistance.[31]
