| + | Fletcher II, more commonly known simply as Fletcher, is the second planet in the system and has a single moon named Quarrel. During the [[thirty-first century]] Fletcher was home to manufacturing facilities operated by at least two military manufacturers.<ref name=HBM65/><ref name=O:FWLp17/> One of those facilities, an orbital dry-dock, was located at the L1 Lagrange Point above the planet.<ref name=O:FWLp17/> | ||
| − | == | + | ===Planetary History=== |
| − | + | ====Early History==== | |
| − | + | Fletcher was settled by colonists eager to exploit the mineral and metal ores located in the many mountain ranges that cover the world. These mountains served not only to provide the raw materials used by factories, but also provided some of the most impressive winter sports venues in the Free Worlds League. The downside to these vast mountain ranges was Fletcher's lack of arable land to grow crops. Only a few "boutique" farms existed, growing their luxury crops in small terraced farms. The population as a whole relied on imported foodstuffs.<ref name=HBM65/> | |

| − | == | + | ====Succession Wars==== |
| − | + | The [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] were devastating to Fletcher reducing its population dramatically not through direct combat, but from emigration. Few enemies could penetrate the vast mountain ranges, and as a result industries on the world have always thrived. During the [[Clan Invasion]] the population increased as the factories hired more workers and expanded. Free-Flight, Limited opened a pressurized dry-dock facility in low orbit around Fletcher in the mid-3060s.<ref name=HBM65/> | |
| − | The [[ | + | ====The Jihad==== |
| + | The [[Jihad]] was devastating to the system, but for a different reason. Instead of military action directly on the planet, [[holovid]] broadcasts describing the [[Word of Blake]]'s actions on the [[Fletcher (CC)|Fletcher]] system in the Terran Corridor led many to believe that the Oriente system was devastated. The local government undertook a massive public relations campaign to clear up the confusion, but even in [[3079]] the depressed local economy led many natives to emigrate to other systems to find work.<ref name=O:FWLp17/> | ||
| − | + | During the closing years of the Jihad rumors abounded on the planet that the Flame Tech plant was going to close, with the company moving production to their facility on [[Campbelton]] due to diminishing levels of demand. In contrast to the Flame Tech facilities, the pressurized orbital dry-dock operated by [[Free Flight, Limited]] went from being a burden on the company to a viable industrial concern during the same period. Free Flight had been unable to procure any government contracts for manufacturing [[WarShip]]s in the years prior to the Jihad, but with so many large shipyards destroyed during the devastating conflict the dry-dock found itself servicing a constant stream of JumpShips that needed repair and maintenance.<ref name=O:FWLp17/> | |

System Description[edit]
Fletcher is located near the Loeches and Oriente systems[5] and consists of a class G2IV primary orbited by at least two worlds.[1][2]
System History[edit]
The Fletcher system was colonized during the First Exodus from Terra and was a member of the Federation of Oriente prior to the formation of the Free Worlds League.[6] Fletcher vanished from maps during the Dark Age,[7][8] indicating that the system had been abandoned or depopulated.

Fletcher II, more commonly known simply as Fletcher, is the second planet in the system and has a single moon named Quarrel. During the thirty-first century Fletcher was home to manufacturing facilities operated by at least two military manufacturers.[1][2] One of those facilities, an orbital dry-dock, was located at the L1 Lagrange Point above the planet.[2]
Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
Fletcher was settled by colonists eager to exploit the mineral and metal ores located in the many mountain ranges that cover the world. These mountains served not only to provide the raw materials used by factories, but also provided some of the most impressive winter sports venues in the Free Worlds League. The downside to these vast mountain ranges was Fletcher's lack of arable land to grow crops. Only a few "boutique" farms existed, growing their luxury crops in small terraced farms. The population as a whole relied on imported foodstuffs.[1]
Succession Wars[edit]
The Succession Wars were devastating to Fletcher reducing its population dramatically not through direct combat, but from emigration. Few enemies could penetrate the vast mountain ranges, and as a result industries on the world have always thrived. During the Clan Invasion the population increased as the factories hired more workers and expanded. Free-Flight, Limited opened a pressurized dry-dock facility in low orbit around Fletcher in the mid-3060s.[1]
The Jihad[edit]
The Jihad was devastating to the system, but for a different reason. Instead of military action directly on the planet, holovid broadcasts describing the Word of Blake's actions on the Fletcher system in the Terran Corridor led many to believe that the Oriente system was devastated. The local government undertook a massive public relations campaign to clear up the confusion, but even in 3079 the depressed local economy led many natives to emigrate to other systems to find work.[2]
During the closing years of the Jihad rumors abounded on the planet that the Flame Tech plant was going to close, with the company moving production to their facility on Campbelton due to diminishing levels of demand. In contrast to the Flame Tech facilities, the pressurized orbital dry-dock operated by Free Flight, Limited went from being a burden on the company to a viable industrial concern during the same period. Free Flight had been unable to procure any government contracts for manufacturing WarShips in the years prior to the Jihad, but with so many large shipyards destroyed during the devastating conflict the dry-dock found itself servicing a constant stream of JumpShips that needed repair and maintenance.[2]
Military Deployment[edit]
Geography[edit]
Fletcher has four continents named Bariki, Koro, Lautoko, and Norusp.[2]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Bounty Station[34]
- Torrance: the planetary capital city, located on Koro; home to the Flame Tech manufacturing facilities during the thirty-first century[2]
