Planetary Details
Farwell is a harsh, cold world. The high oxygen and low temperatures take a heavy toll on machinery and manpower. Life is only possible with specialized equipment and habitats. However, the rare earth and petrochemical deposits on world, and the crews that run the mines, are highly valuable and thus need to be protected.
Prior to the fall of the Star League, a SLDF commander used the equipment at his disposal to build large, open air green houses full of Terran vegetation. They were built in a effort to combat low morale by allowing soldiers an opportunity to walk among plants and not be completely confined indoors.[1]
Planetary History
The world of Farwell was originally one of the Chesterton worlds, but the border wars between the various states in the area saw Farwell in the hands of the Federated Suns by the time the Capellan Confederation came into being. Farwell was one of several former Chesterton worlds the Confederation managed to recapture during the 1st Succession War, despite a heavy counterattack by the Federated Suns after Chancellor Ilsa Liao offered to withdraw her claim to the title of First Lord of the Star League and to instead support Paul Davion's claim if the Federated Suns would return Chesterton to the Confederation.[2][3]
