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.

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.

List of Events from the Planet's History

During the 3rd Succession War, Thule's frozen and valuable watery climate was used as bait to trap the pirate Helmar Valasek and his raiders. House Kurita used the Black Widow Company during their contract to House Kurita surprise the pirates and destroy them.[1]

In March 3050, the Third Bear Striker Cluster defeated the First Hussars and left the 312th Assault Trinary to garrison the world. This unit was destroyed in an uprising during Wave Two of Operation Revival in May. The Husar's survivors had taken refuge on the world's frigid southern lands when SaKhan Theresa DelVillar lead her forces to overrun the 1st Hussar's survivors taking its commanding officer as bondsman.[2][3]

In August 3073, Thule was site of a three way battle between Clans. During a Clan Hell's Horses raid on world's spaceport, unidentified force of Clan Star Adder arrived began fighting with both Horses and Bears in brutal fight.[4]
