Owner History

Planetary Info

Loric is a pleasant agricultural world. Covered in forests with deep rivers flowing through them, picturesque mountain ranges, and pleasant shorelines, Loric would be a paradise if it wasn't located in the center of the Lyran/Free Worlds League border. Unfortunately its location makes it a strategic point for attacks, whether launched by the Commonwealth or the League. Since the Age of War Loric has been used as either a springboard for Lyran raids or an entry point into the Commonwealth by League forces. The world's only respite came during the time of the Star League.[1]

In an attempt to reduce it's military appeal, the inhabitants of Loric refuse to allow heavy industry on the world, particularly military industries. Though this has saved them from some of the excesses of the Succession Wars nothing can change their system's position along the border. As a result they have grown to despise the Free Worlds League, and welcome LCAF soldiers.[1]
