| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Fourth Succession War==== | ||
| + | Menkar has only seen war twice: Once during the [[Fourth Succession War]] and once during the [[Jihad]]. The government of Menkar surrendered to Davion forces to prevent damage to their world.<ref name=DARWp109/> During the last two weeks of October [[3069]] the [[Word of Blake]] launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat—or use—of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defenses; Menkar was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> | ||
| − | == | + | ====Jihad==== |
| − | + | As with the Federated Suns attack during the Fourth Succession War the government surrendered to the Word of Blake to avoid further damage to the planet, but with a twist: one week after the Blakists installed their garrison and departed a plague swept through their camp. This plague killed every Blakist soldier on the world as well as 10% of the planet's population. After the Jihad the government released information that indicated the 10% of the population volunteered to be infected in order to spread the disease to the Blakists.<ref name=DARWp109/> | |

| − | + | During the last week of July [[3075]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched a campaign against the Word of Blake Protectorate garrisons on Menkar, [[Pleione]] and [[Wei]]. The civilian population of the three worlds took tens of thousands of civilian casualties during the offensive, as the Capellan forces used nuclear weapons to defeat the Blakists.<ref name="JHS:Tp17">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 17: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> | |

| − | + | Though Menkar is located in the constellation Terrans call "the Whale" it isn't the brightest star in the collection. [[Deneb Kaitos]] has that honor. Menkar's star is on the way to becoming unstable, like [[Mira]], another system in the constellation. In the meantime the inhabitants of Menkar continue to collect plants from the jungle archipelagos of the world. These plants have been very useful creating new medications, particularly antirejection medications for organ transplants. The two large landmasses are filled with valleys fed by large rivers and the oceans are teeming with life.<ref name=DARWp109/> | |

| − | + | ===Geography=== | |

Planetary History[edit]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
Menkar has only seen war twice: Once during the Fourth Succession War and once during the Jihad. The government of Menkar surrendered to Davion forces to prevent damage to their world.[1] During the last two weeks of October 3069 the Word of Blake launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat—or use—of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defenses; Menkar was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.[25]
Jihad[edit]
As with the Federated Suns attack during the Fourth Succession War the government surrendered to the Word of Blake to avoid further damage to the planet, but with a twist: one week after the Blakists installed their garrison and departed a plague swept through their camp. This plague killed every Blakist soldier on the world as well as 10% of the planet's population. After the Jihad the government released information that indicated the 10% of the population volunteered to be infected in order to spread the disease to the Blakists.[1]
During the last week of July 3075, the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces launched a campaign against the Word of Blake Protectorate garrisons on Menkar, Pleione and Wei. The civilian population of the three worlds took tens of thousands of civilian casualties during the offensive, as the Capellan forces used nuclear weapons to defeat the Blakists.[34][35]
Though Menkar is located in the constellation Terrans call "the Whale" it isn't the brightest star in the collection. Deneb Kaitos has that honor. Menkar's star is on the way to becoming unstable, like Mira, another system in the constellation. In the meantime the inhabitants of Menkar continue to collect plants from the jungle archipelagos of the world. These plants have been very useful creating new medications, particularly antirejection medications for organ transplants. The two large landmasses are filled with valleys fed by large rivers and the oceans are teeming with life.[1]
Dark Age[edit]
The planet's HPG station is one of the few working inside the Republic of the Sphere in 3135.[36]
Military Deployment[edit]
3145[edit]
- - The unit was at 70% strength with a "C" equipment rating. The unit was divided between the Menkar and Foochow systems.
Geography[edit]
Menkar has two continents named Ulug Beg and Al Tizini. There are also three medium-sized archipelagoes that are mostly covered with jungle, named Monkar, Menkab, and Al Minkar.[1]
