System Description[edit]
The Chirikof system is located near the Cambiano and Noatak systems[3][4] and consists of a class G9V primary orbited by at least four planets. During the thirty-first century recharge stations were in place at both of the system jump points.[1][2]
System History[edit]
The Chirikof system was colonized during the First Exodus from Terra.[5] Chirikof was an important administrative world within the Crucis March for much of its history and one of three operational area capital worlds within the March.[1]

Chirikof IV, more commonly referred to simply as Chirikof, is the fourth planet in the Chirikof system and has two moons named Madden and Pietrikof.[1]
Planetary History[edit]
Chirikof was a waystation for travelers in the Federated Suns Outback. The Armed Forces of the Federated Suns made the world headquarters for the Chirikof Operations Area, a part of the Crucis March which covered the area between the Capellan March and the Taurian Concordat. Originally settled as a mining colony, the world exported germanium to Galax well into the thirty-first century. As expansion efforts along the Taurian border grew, Chirikof became more and more important as a travel stop. Ships and crews would use Chirikof as a base station during their explorations, which stimulated the Federated Suns' leadership to build space stations and permanently station military forces there.[1]
The increased number of ships and resulting docking fees were welcomed by the citizens of the world as the mining operations greatly reduced their output. Chirikof was still a key part of the transportation network for the Outback in the late thirty-first century, with ships constantly traveling to and from the system. To defend against pirates and other threats, the AFFS High Command had permanently stationed two regiments of marines, a regiment of special forces, and several brigades of active duty and militia conventional forces on the world. Several wings of AeroSpace Fighters and DropShips guarded the space stations from threats.[1]
Before the Periphery March was fully activated, Chirikof acted as the headquarters for General Raymond-Roger Marsin's operations in the Outback.[2]
Geography[edit]
Chirikof has three continents named Curran, Deveroux, and Moody.[2]
