The Almach system was home to at least one habitable world - Almach II - and as at 3145 was located in the Chesterton Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.[2][3]

System Description

The Almach system maintained a recharge station at the zenith jump point at least as recently as the early thirty-first century.[1]

System History

The Almach system was settled during or just after the First Exodus from Terra[4] and the system wouldbe contested by various nations and proto-nations throughout its history, being controlled at various tiems by the Capellan confederation,[5] Federated Suns,[6] Marlette Association[4] and Tikonov Grand Union.[7]

Almach II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Almach II - commonly referred to simply as Almach - is the second planet in the Almach system and is known for its extensive ocean farms.[1]

Planetary History

Almach was originally an independent planet that became swept up in conflicts between the newly-formed Tikonov Grand Union and the Marlette Association in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. Although Almach was claimed by both states at the end of the 23rd century, the Marlette Association annexed Almach between 2302 and 2306.[4] With the election of General Diana Chinn to the Tikonov Tetrarchy in 2307, the Tikonov Grand Union began an ambitious gamble against the Marlette Association, and a number of Marlette Association worlds were invaded and annexed in short order. Tikonov Grand Union forces commanded by Diana Chinn conquered Almach in November 2308;[7] the planet remained in Tikonov Grand Union control until 2344, when the Federated Suns occupied several Tikonov worlds including Almach. Almach gave it's name to the Accord signed between the Federated Suns and the Tikonov Grand Union that recognised Davion control of a number of Chesterton Trade Worlds.[8] The Federated Suns President, Reynard Davion, made Almach a trustee of the Federated Suns after annexing the world, with every intention of turning Almach into a major military staging area in anticipation of future wars in the area.[9]

Under Capellan rule the three continents on the planet were given over to national parks and wildlife preserves administered by the government. Though it has one of the largest deserts in the region, the real item of interest is Almach's extensive ocean-farming installations. Prior to the Succession Wars the products of Almach's seas fed every world in the Chesterton Commonality.[1]

The only other notable feature is the fact that Almach was settled almost exclusively by Argentinians.[1]
