Planetary Info
Genoa was settled by Italian colonists in 2300. Though they set out to reach a lush, verdant world a near miss by a rogue planet changed Genoa's orbit and changed the biosphere into a vast desert broken up by mountain ranges. Facing such a harsh environment on the surface the colonists moved their settlements underground. There they found vast underground seas full of life, minerals, metal ores, and precious stones. As a result of these exportable commodities, Genoa became a minor economic powerhouse and joined the Liao Protectorate in 2315.[1] The Terran Hegemony would take control of the system several years later and Genoa continued to thrive. After the fall of the Star League the Capellan Confederation took over the world. For the next two centuries the Confederation took advantage of Genoa's exports. During the Fourth Succession War, however, Genoa was assaulted by the 33rd Avalon Hussars and the Blue Star Irregulars in the second wave. The Genoan militia was quickly outclassed by the front line AFFS forces and surrendered.[3]
Like many other worlds, Genoa was rocked by the instability that resulted after Operation Guerrero. In 3069 the world was "invited" to become part of the Word of Blake Protectorate by the 35th Division. The Genoans resisted forcing the Word to deploy more forces, including units armed with tactical nuclear weapons.[4] The use of these weapons only hardened the Genoan's resolve however and they not only assisted the 1st St. Ives Lancers when they raided the Word of Blake forces[5], but continued to resist the Blakist troops[6] until they were liberated as part of Operation SCOUR.
