System Information

The Verlo system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 3085 was located in the Taygeta Operational Area of the Capellan March within the Federated Suns.[1]

System Description[edit]

Verlo is located near the Braum and Tetschner systems.[2]

System History[edit]

The Verlo system was settled during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra, and was an independent system prior to joining the Capellan Confederation when the Confederation formed during the mid-twenty-fourth century.[3]

Verlo was described as an industrial world.[42]

Planetary History[edit]

Star League[edit]

Significant diversion of Star League Defense Force supplies from the Eighty-fifth Mechanized Infantry Division continued unabated despite the arrest of three technicians. SLIC was investigating Major General Park Su Li who was involved in a relationship with a stunning Confederation civilian thirty years younger, though it was unknown if this investigation dovetailed into the theft of supplies.[43]

First Succession War[edit]

In 2820, five battalions of the Verlo Planetary Guard Force defected to form the Twelfth Vegan Rangers.[44][Note 1]

Third Succession War[edit]

In 2869, Field Marshal Jerome Hasek deployed his Sirdar PDZ forces on a "reconnaissance in force" against Verlo in order to prove his martial acumen. His assault force centered around the mercenary unit Clinton's Cutthroats, and after a year of hard fighting Hasek was finally gaining the upper hand. On 26 March 2870 an unmarked DropShip landed and requested a conference with Colonel Hondo Clinton. After three days (March 29) seven more DropShips grounded and the Cutthroats boarded and left, never to be seen again. Rumors swirled that they had been advanced scouts of the Star League-in-Exile. After their departure Capellan defenders crushed the remaining Hasek forces, ending his career.[17][42][45][46][47]

Sometime later the Federated Suns gained control of Verlo, and about 3016 the wife and children of Count Anton Vitios were killed in a Confederation raid.[18]

Jihad[edit]

In 3068, Duke George Hasek launched an invasion of the Capellan Confederation under the name Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE, ostensibly to liberate the worlds of the St. Ives Compact.[48] The CCAF responded with Operation THUNDERSTRIKE, which not only liberated the worlds seized by the Capellan March forces but which also struck back at worlds in the Federated Suns. Verlo was one of the worlds hit, with CCAF troops attacking on 18 February 3069 as part of a wave of attacks that hit eight separate systems on the same day.[49]

Dark Age[edit]

Verlo was targeted by the joint Capellan/Canopian counterstrike in the Victoria War. During the conflict, a DropShip crash onto the highly volcanic world triggered a global catastrophe, rendering the planet uninhabitable.[50]
