The Algot system was home nine planets, at least one of which was habitable - Algot V - and as at 3145 was located in the Chesteron Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.[2]

System Description

The Algot system had two recharge stations in the early thirty-first century, located at the nadir and zenith jump points.[1]

System History

The Algot system was colonised before the Age of War.[3]

Algot V

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Algot V - more commonly referred to simply as Algot - is the fifth planet in the Algot system and has one moon named "Victoria's Jewel".[2]

Planetary History

Succession Wars

Algot was one of the first worlds to be settled by colonists from Tikonov, and for a brief period it was a major industrial center second only to Tikonov itself. By the beginning of the twenty-ninth century Algot was one of the most populous worlds in the region, and specialised in sciences related to computers and electronics. Then, in 2822, Algot was struck by a plague which disappeared a year later, as mysteriously as it had arrived. This gained Algot a reputation for being bad for individual health - something that led to a decline in immigration and a significant increase in emigration.[1]

Ironically, for a planet with a reputation for poor health, natives of Algot had the third-highest life expectancy in the Federated Suns by 3025 and the local population had enjoyed exceptionally good health for two centuries. This fact was kept a careful secret by the local population, to avoid their world being inundated with waves of immigrants that would spoil the quality of the their local environment - a feature that made Algot a pleasant world to visit.[1]

The Jihad

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; Algot was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.[4]

When Operation SCOUR kicked off in 3077, Algot was a target for liberation by the allied coalition, but when a task force of coalition troops led by the Federated Suns arrived in the Algot system on the 24th of February 3077, they discovered that troops from the Capellan Confederation were already fighting against the Blakists on the planet. At the behest of Devlin Stone the allied task force withdrew from the system, leaving the liberation efforts to the Capellans.[5] By the time Group II withdrew from the Algot system, the 1st Davion AeroSpace Wing had already acquitted themselves well against the CCAF forces which had attacked the task force at the jump point.[6] Media sources within the Capellan Confederation reported in February 3077 that Algot had rejoined the Confederation, claiming that the allied coalition forces had arrived post-liberation to attempt to take the planet from the Capellans, but had been driven off in disarray by Confederation naval forces.[7]
