The Altoona system is home to at least one inhabited world and as at 3145 was located in the Woodbine Operational Area of the Periphery March within the Federated Suns.[1][2]

System History

The Altoona system was settled at some point during the Star League era after the Reunification War.[4][3]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

The media on Altoona reported in late January 3081 that no less than four seperate convoys of immigrants from the Outworlds Alliance had travelled through the Altoona system since the end of the Jihad. Despite DropShips from the convoys landing on Altoona to trade goods for supplies, none of the groups were prepared to discuss the final destination of any of the convoys. Given the distance between Altoona and the Outworlds Alliance border, it was speculated that the convoys were moving to another Periphery nation following changes within the Alliance itself.[26]
