Planetary History
Algol has two large continents, Shalom and Durant, as well as several islands. Algol City (the capital) was located along Shalom's coast to take advantage of the large population of fish. Explorers found that Durant was covered in rich, fertile soil. This led to the early colonists developing their agricultural concerns, and by the time of the Star League Algol was trading food with every world within one jump.[2]
Early History
By the 2350s the Tikonov Grand Union - of which Algol was a member - was experiencing severe turmoil due to internal economic problems and external conflicts. Having lost a war with the Terran Hegemony over the worlds of the Chisholm Protectorate in the late 2330s,[32] the Grand Union then found itself battling the Federated Suns in the 2340s.[3] The nearby Sarna Supremacy looked to capitalise on the Grand Union's problems by annexing various Grand Union worlds, and elements of the 141st and 173rd Sarna Shock Brigades landed on Algol and the nearby world of Slocum in 2351.[3] In 2358, the new president of the Capellan Commonality, Selek Tucas, declared himself the arbitrater of the dispute between the Supremacy and the Grand Union and awarded ownership of Algol, Slocum and Azha to the Supremacy;[4] despite this, by 2366 Algol would be a member of the Tikonov Grand Union again.[5]
During the last two weeks of October 3069 the Word of Blake launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defences; Algol was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.[25]
After the Federated Suns took control of the world, the AFFS created a massive munitions plant and storage depot in the city of Groffer's Toll. The Blakist commander used the storage depot as a prison for the AFFS members who had surrendered. They tried to break out, and the Blakists destroyed the prison, killing nearly everyone.[2]
