Geography
Galtor III is an agricultural world on the border between the Federated Suns and the Draconis Combine.
Galtor has three main continents. Eire, the largest continent, has a spine of vast mountains and a broad fertile plain cut by numerous rivers. The Wagnall Plain, as it is known, is an immensely large area, well-watered and eminently suitable for cultivation. The other two continents consist mostly of desert or mountains, except for coastal flood plains and tropical jungles along the equator. Galtor's capital of New Derry is situated on Eire.
Planetary History
First Succession War
Galtor III was captured by the DCMS May of 2787 during the first wave of a surprise attack.[15] The massive invasion of the Federated Suns 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. This led to conflicting orders being issued, including orders for the mercenary unit Tyson's Troublemakers - formerly the SLDF Twenty-third Heavy Assault Regiment - to withdraw from Marduk, whilst the First Syrtis Hussars on Galtor III and the Thirty-eighth Avalon Hussars on Cussar were both ordered to hold firm.[51] The defending Hussars were trapped on the planet, and put up a resistance as long as 2792.[15]
Although the naval battle at Cholame fought in March and April 2790 had cost the AFFS a huge price, it bought the Federated Suns something badly needed - time. For fourteen months, the invasion forces from the Combine were unable to make significant gains, and the AFFS used that opportunity to provide whatever aid it could to those forces still fighting in systems such as Dobson, Galtor, Kentares IV and New Rhodes III.[52]
Third Succession War
The inhabitants of Galtor III were suffering under the strict draconian rule and hoped for liberation by the Federated Suns. However, they had to wait until 3022 when after over a century the Federated Suns finally reconquered the world in a bloody campaign in which more than one third of the population lost their lives.[24]
In 3025 Galtor III was the stage of one of the largest battles of the Third Succession War. The AFFS lured the DCMS into a trap and almost lost the world to them. Only the disunity of the invading forces and finally arriving Davion reinforcements prevented a Kurita victory.[53] Despite this the system was lost to the Combine in the course of the Fourth Succession War.
Jihad
The world wasn't affected by the Jihad, which allowed the population to rebound from the losses sustained in the early 31st century.[3]
