Notes

Syrstart was a part of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic and is located near Fredotto and Far Reach. First colonized in 2639, Syrstart was a small boring world for most of its existence. During the Amaris Coup Syrstart was used as a base by the SLDF. They established multiple supply depots on the world. When the SLDF Navy withdrew, they used orbital bombardment to destroy these facilities. Unfortunately the bombardment started a series of massive forest fires that destroyed half the planet's timber fields.

The destruction wrought by the SLDF's attacks and the loss of so much timber (their primary resource) threw the planet into chaos. The corrupt local government was overthrown by three oyabuns and some stability was restored to the planet. However in 2895 a new virus swept out of the Arishikage Swamp Sea and killed eighty percent of the population by 2915. The survivors remained, but the planet's population was declining every year. The system was only visited as a JumpShip recharge station for ships from other systems in the Chainelane Isles. However the Syrstartians were skilled fighters; Of six Leopard-class DropShips that participated in a bandit raid on the world in 3042, only one escaped. Since that time the captured DropShips have been used by the Systartians to raid other worlds in the Isles.

The system remains interesting to Clan merchants as its asteroid belt contains large amounts of germanium.[1]
