Marlowe's Rift
Planetary History
Age of War
The planet was originally colonized as a scientific research station.[4]
Star League
The planet's history changed with the discovery of a unique form of citrus fruit tree. The Meat Tree was found in the deep jungles of the planet's equatorial regions and has the same taste and consistency of cooked beef. Needless to say, this fruit became a massive cash crop and the planet's cities and distribution centers grew up around the groves. The wealth this crop generated attracted the interest of raiders and pirates. Thus the Star League stationed a garrison of the Star League Defense Force to protect the world.[4]
Third Succession War
In early 3025, the Federated Suns attacked Marlowe's Rift.[35]
Dark Ages
Throughout the Republic era New Aberdeen became one of the Draconis Reach worlds disputed between the Combine and the Draconis March.[31] The stalemate ended in 3139 when Wolf's Dragoons, in service to the Combine, attacked Marlowe's Rift as part of a successful campaign to secure the Reach once and for all.[36]
