Gibbs III - more commonly known simply as Gibbs - is the third planet in the Gibbs system, and has a single moon named Weatherly. In orbit above Gibbs at the L1 Lagrange Point is a major manufacturing complex, Ioto Orbital One, operated by [[Ioto Galactic Enterprises]].<ref name=OBLA24/>

== Planetary History ==
 +
=== Early History ===
 +
Gibbs was the home of the [[Lockheed-CBM_Corporation/Lockheed Corporation|Lockheed Corporation]], until the Lockheed Corporation merged with [[Lockheed-CBM_Corporation/CBM AeroSpace|CBM AeroSpace]] of [[Donegal]] to form the [[Lockheed-CBM Corporation]] at some point after the two companies formed an alliance in [[2487]] to build ''[[Thunderbird]]''-class [[aerospace fighter]]s for the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]].<ref name=HSp123>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 123, "Weapons Industries" - [Lockheed-CBM Corporation]</ref>
 +
 
 +
=== The Jihad ===
 +
With the destruction of [[Alarion]] and the shipyards there, Gibbs was a critical industrial site for the [[Lyran Alliance]] during the late [[Jihad]], as the shipyards here represented the Alliance's only [[JumpShip]] production facilities, as well as the only facilities capable of supporting the Alliance's diminished [[WarShip]] fleet.<ref name="J:FRp85A">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 85, "Alarion (Buena) Province"</ref><ref name="J:FRp85B">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 85, "Donegal Province"</ref><ref name=OBLA24/> The significance of the manufacturing facilities on Gibbs was such that when the [[Nickel Boys]] bandit group raided Gibbs in the late 3070s, the planetary militia guarded the Lockheed/CBM Corporation plant at Bainbridge and allowed several cities to be damaged, rather than risk damage to the planet.<ref name=OBLA24/>

Gibbs
System Information
X:Y Coordinates-201.11 : 157.89[e]
Spectral classG9V[1]
Recharge time190 hours[1]
Recharge station(s)Nadir[1]

The Gibbs system was home to at least one habitable world, Gibbs III, and as at 3145 was located in the Donegal Province of the Lyran Commonwealth.[2][3]

System Description

The Gibbs system is located near the Forkas and Tetersen systems[2][3] and consists of a class G9V primary orbited by at least three planets. During the Thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the system nadir jump point.[1]

System History

The Gibbs system was colonized at some point during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra, and was a member of the Protectorate of Donegal prior to the foundation of the Lyran Commonwealth.[4]

Gibbs III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard

Gibbs III - more commonly known simply as Gibbs - is the third planet in the Gibbs system, and has a single moon named Weatherly. In orbit above Gibbs at the L1 Lagrange Point is a major manufacturing complex, Ioto Orbital One, operated by Ioto Galactic Enterprises.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

Gibbs was the home of the Lockheed Corporation, until the Lockheed Corporation merged with CBM AeroSpace of Donegal to form the Lockheed-CBM Corporation at some point after the two companies formed an alliance in 2487 to build Thunderbird-class aerospace fighters for the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces.[5]

The Jihad

With the destruction of Alarion and the shipyards there, Gibbs was a critical industrial site for the Lyran Alliance during the late Jihad, as the shipyards here represented the Alliance's only JumpShip production facilities, as well as the only facilities capable of supporting the Alliance's diminished WarShip fleet.[6][7][1] The significance of the manufacturing facilities on Gibbs was such that when the Nickel Boys bandit group raided Gibbs in the late 3070s, the planetary militia guarded the Lockheed/CBM Corporation plant at Bainbridge and allowed several cities to be damaged, rather than risk damage to the planet.[1]

Geography

Gibbs has three continents named Murray, Pablo and Perrette. Gibbs is a very dry world because its atmosphere is very thin and doesn't hold onto much water.[1]

Planetary Locations

  • Bainbridge: the largest city on Gibbs, located on Perrette, and base for the planetary militia.[1]
  • Rolfson: the planetary capital city, located on Perette; site of the Lockeed/CBM Corporation manufacturing plant.[1]
