Owner History

Planetary Info

Warlock is known as the home of the Liao family winter retreat, the planet has one major continent also known as the world name where the capital city Solitude is located. Aside from that, the world is a major naval base in the St. Ives Commonality, and there are weapons design and evaluation facilities ringing the world's equator. During the Succession Wars, Warlock was also frequently used as a launching point for Maskirovka infiltration operations targeting the Federated Suns, as well as CCAF raids. The AFFS returned the favor by frequently targeting the world for raids of its own.[1][3]

Planetary History

Post-Fourth Succession War

Warlock, then part of the St. Ives Compact, was attacked in 3032 by Capellan-backed mercenaries in a minor raid. The fighting involved the planetary militia's conventional fighter assets based on the Lucius Zhao-class escort carrier, the WCN Tarnished Blade.[22]

The world's economy grew rapidly after the Fourth Succession War. It became home to a new production facility and a tourist destination.[2] After rejoining the Capellan Confederation, the world became popular as a vacation world with Capellan nobility, but only after the Chancellor had visited there in 3066. At the same time, the CCAF looked to expand the production facilities on the world and improve the arctic weather training facility on the world. Warlock's moon, Blackguard, was home to a naval refit facility that could repair six 50,000 ton (or more) DropShips at once. This facility was shut down during the time of the St. Ives Compact, but the CCAF was looking to rebuild the facility in 3068.[23]

Jihad

Warlock became a contested world during Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE, the invasion of the Confederation by Capellan March forces under the orders of Duke George Hasek in 3068, but Capellan WarShips secured the system on the 18th of February 3069 as a part of Operation THUNDERSTRIKE, the CCAF counter-offensive.[24] It would take until the 20th of July for the last of the AFFS forces on Warlock to be broken, however.[25]

The Ceres Metals factory on Warlock was the target of a terrorist bombing in 3080; the terrorists used a nuclear device which both levelled the factory complex completely and killed thousands of civilians. The bombing was blamed on Free Capella by the government, and while the remains of Free Capella denied the allegations, what public support they had left evaporated following the attack. Three days after the bombing two dozen people accused of being the terrorists responsible were publicly executed as an example of Capellan justice at work.[26]
