When it was first colonized, '''Zavijava''' was a largely unremarkable terrestrial world. That remained the case for several centuries, but in the [[twenty-fifth century]] that began to change. Volcanic eruptions began on the planet, increasing in frequency as time passed. The volcanoes spewed sulphur gases and particulates into the atmosphere in large quantities, and even at the height of the [[Star League]] experts from the [[Terran Hegemony]] were unable to identify the cause of the increasingly violent and frequent eruptions or find a way to prevent them.<ref name="DARWp200">''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 200, "Zavijava"</ref>

The population of the planet began to decline as conditions on the world deteriorated, dropping steadily from its peak of some three billion people; over the next six centuries most of the native animal life was driven to extinction, with temperatures dropping ten degrees because of the adverse climate - resembling a "nuclear winter" - caused by the huge quantities of ash in the atmosphere. Mining interests continued to operate on the planet, and hearty souls continued to live there, even though breathing the air became difficult without breather masks. The [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] weren't kind to the planet or its inhabitants, though; Zavijava was located on the shifting border between the Lyran Commonwealth and the [[Free Worlds League]], resulting in it being subject to various raids and military campaigns. The [[Jihad]] was no kinder, with Zavijava becoming a battleground once more as the Skye Province of the Lyran Alliance attacked the Free Worlds League.<ref name="DARWp200"/>
 +
 +
At the height of the war between Skye and the League Zavijava was attacked by League forces, who struck at the planetary spaceport. The spaceport was located near the planetary capital, Tzion, on the southern continent on the planet, Velvel. The capital was devastated in the fighting and more than five thousand people were killed. When Zavijava was subsequently incorporated into the Republic of the Sphere it received no reconstruction assistance because of the steady exodus of the population off-world and the ongoing natural crisis.<ref name="DARWp200"/>

System Information

Spectral classM3V[1]
Planet(s)6[1]

The Zavijava system is home to at least one habitable world, Zavijava III, and as at 3145 was located in the Republic of the Sphere.[2][3]

System Description

The Zavijava system lies near the [[Denebola] and Oliver systems[2][3] and consists of a class M3V primary orbited by six planets, at least one of which is habitable.[1]

System History

The Zavijava system was colonised prior to the Age of War,ref name="HB:HSp13"/> and possibly as early as the First Exodus from Terra.[1]

Zavijava III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Zavijava III - more commonly refered to simply as Zavijava - is the third planet in the Zavijava system and has a single moon, named Haldana.[1]

Planetary History

When it was first colonized, Zavijava was a largely unremarkable terrestrial world. That remained the case for several centuries, but in the twenty-fifth century that began to change. Volcanic eruptions began on the planet, increasing in frequency as time passed. The volcanoes spewed sulphur gases and particulates into the atmosphere in large quantities, and even at the height of the Star League experts from the Terran Hegemony were unable to identify the cause of the increasingly violent and frequent eruptions or find a way to prevent them.[1]

The population of the planet began to decline as conditions on the world deteriorated, dropping steadily from its peak of some three billion people; over the next six centuries most of the native animal life was driven to extinction, with temperatures dropping ten degrees because of the adverse climate - resembling a "nuclear winter" - caused by the huge quantities of ash in the atmosphere. Mining interests continued to operate on the planet, and hearty souls continued to live there, even though breathing the air became difficult without breather masks. The Succession Wars weren't kind to the planet or its inhabitants, though; Zavijava was located on the shifting border between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Free Worlds League, resulting in it being subject to various raids and military campaigns. The Jihad was no kinder, with Zavijava becoming a battleground once more as the Skye Province of the Lyran Alliance attacked the Free Worlds League.[1]

At the height of the war between Skye and the League Zavijava was attacked by League forces, who struck at the planetary spaceport. The spaceport was located near the planetary capital, Tzion, on the southern continent on the planet, Velvel. The capital was devastated in the fighting and more than five thousand people were killed. When Zavijava was subsequently incorporated into the Republic of the Sphere it received no reconstruction assistance because of the steady exodus of the population off-world and the ongoing natural crisis.[1]

The ruins of Tzion were cleared away during the Dark Age and the city of Noé on the northern continent of Peninah was designated as the new administrative capital of Zavijava. A new spaceport was constructed near Noé, and where the ruins of Tzion had stood a monument was erected in memory of those who fell during the Jihad.[1]
