Planetary History

Alphecca has few mineral resources and so was settled as an agricultural world. With little industry to attract raiding forces, Alphecca was spared most of the devastation of the Succession Wars, FedCom Civil War, and the Jihad. The people of Alphecca were content, just surviving at a basic subsistence level without striving to change anything about their world.[1]

Dark Age

When the planet became part of Prefecture IX of the Republic, a large number of relocated citizens arrived. This was the single most exciting event to occur on Alphecca in forty years. Strangely, the new arrivals quickly adopted the lackadaisical attitude of the long-term residents.[1]

In 3144 Clan Jade Falcon assaulted Alphecca, and in a campaign lasting less than two weeks, drove the defending Hastati Sentinel forces offworld. The relative ease with which the Jade Falcons captured Alphecca was in large part due to the effective manner in which the Jade Falcons used the advanced Kite Reconnaissance Vehicle, variously using points of Kites to: find and disrupt the Sentinels mobile headquarters, allowing for a surgical strike against the Sentinel rear echelon forces; detect, prevent and disrupt ambushes against Jade Falcon forces while directing artillery against hidden units, and acting as part of a dedicated hunter-killer unit targeting attacks of opportunity against Sentinel units.[23]
