Planetary Description
Thule was located on Periphery border. Planet was divided into three big continents. Vik with capital city - the Thule city - and planet primary starport was also known from Fresdon Plain, Fresdon Desert, and the Great Fresdonian River. Akranes, located near equator, was planet agricultural center. Husavik, northern continent, was mostly frozen wasteland with several research stations and the Thulian bears.
The planet was valued during the Succession Wars for its water resources.[1]
History
Planet was a member of Principality of Rasalhague till it was captured by the Draconis Combine at the dawn of it's creation. Because of it's isolation the world wasn't considered as strategical target, and so it avoided any victims during Succession Wars and later on the Ronin Wars. The first real conflict happened in 3050 when Clan Ghost Bear captured the planet during the first wave of Clan Invasion of 3050.
