The Zanzibar system was the location of at least one habitable world, Zanzibar III, and as at 3145 was located in the Victoria Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.

System Description

The Zanzibar system is located near the Bergtatt and Alexandria systems[2][3] and has a class G2V primary orbited by at least three planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was located at the zenith jump point.[1]

System History

The Zanzibar system was colonised during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and when the Capellan Confederation formed in 2366 Zanzibar was already a part of the Taurian Concordat.[4]

Zazibar III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Zanzibar III - more commonly referred to simply as Zanzibar - is the third planet in the Zanzibar system and has a single moon named Pemba.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

Originally settled by the Taurian Concordat, Zanzibar became the target of aggression from the Capellan Confederation, which was expanding in search of additional planets. Despite being Taurian colonies, Zanzibar and several other worlds were targeted by Chancellor Kurnath Liao, who resolved to push the Taurians out of "Capellan holdings." The resulting military campaign ran from 2397 to 2422, began with clashes between the Capellan and Taurian navies and ended with the capture of three Taurian worlds, including Zanzibar. In contrast with the sporadic raids inflicted upon Taurian worlds by the Federated Suns, the Capellan attacks were staged with a degree of savagery the Concordat hadn't encountered before; cruelty to prisoners and the outright massacre of Taurian civilians were commonplace events.[5]

The Jihad

Zanzibar was the location of a Duchy RTC which trains unarmored infantry and vehicle crews; the RTC was stationed on the Khane continent.[1]
