System Information
X:Y Coordinates250.736 : 10.805[e]

The Franklin system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as at 3145 was located in the Sirdar Operational Area of the Capellan March within the Federated Suns.[1][2]

System Description

The Franklin system is located near the Allerton and Ballentine systems.[3]

System History

The Franklin system was colonised during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra.[4]

Planetary History

First Succession War

In May 2787 the Draconis Combine launched a massive invasion of the Federated Suns. The invasion was so swift and targeted communications and JumpShips so effectively that many border systems didn't have a chance to transmit warnings or alerts, leading to widespread confusion on the part of the AFFS. A second wave followed three days after the first, led personally by Coordinator Minoru Kurita and his son, Warlord Jinjiro Kurita, striking through the Clovis Combat Region and Dahar Combat Region in two thrusts, and proved devastatingly effective. The death of Field Marshal Grover Simons on Clovis caused the AFFS defensive line to collapse,[50] and the DCMS adopted a strategy of leapfrogging worlds, smashing some AFFS units while leaving others isolated and cut-off, to be subsequently destroyed later.[51]

The majority of the AFFS units left behind enemy lines had been destroyed by mid-2789, but Gorgon battalion of the Fourth Robinson Chevaliers was one of a handful of commands that managed to survive longer, through a combination of good luck, resourcefulness and sheer resilience. Made up from remnants of the Fourth and those supporting units that had managed to escape destruction, Gorgon battalion went to ground for years after Franklin fell, causing as much havoc as they could for the DCMS garrison and raiding for supplies to survive.[51]

Despite the efforts made by Gorgon battalion, liberation would be a long time coming for Franklin. Targetted during the third Federated Suns counter-offensive, AFFS troops began an assault on Franklin in November or December of 2817,[52] and the campaign to liberate the planet stretched on into 2818.[16]
