Angol III - more commonly known simply as Angol - is the third planet in the Angol system.
 +
 
 +
== Planetary History ==
 +
=== Early History ===
 +
When Angol was discovered by humans it was already a frozen planet, locked in orbit around a small, dying red star; Angol had been a habitable planet before the system primary began shrinking, with a fossil record which showed that life had existed on the planet before the world's oceans and atmosphere froze into glaciers that stretched across the planet.<ref name=DARWp69/>
 +
 
 +
Angol was first settled by prisoners and other "undesirables" from nearby [[Tikonov]]; the founders and ruling family of both Tikonov and [[Earthwerks Limited]], the [[House Carinus|Carinus family]], modeled their government on that of the [[twentieth century]] Soviet Union, and used Angol as their equivalent of a Siberian gulag. Those involuntary colonists who found themselves sentenced to decades of harsh work on Angol extracted rare metals from the planet's surface for use in Tikonov's factories.<ref name=DARWp69/>
 +
 
 +
When the [[Tikonov Grand Union]] joined the Capellan Confederation in [[2366]] the citizens of Angol appealed to the [[Terran Hegemony]] for protection, and the Hegemony obliged, incorporating Angol into the Hegemony. That led to a period of steady improvement in the standard of living for the population.<ref name=DARWp69/>
 +
 
 +
=== Succession Wars ===
 +
After the fall of the [[Star League]] the [[Federated Suns]] initially claimed the Angol, which found itself the tip of a Federated Suns salient into the Confederation for much of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. During the Succession Wars, the system was rapidly built up and its military garrison increased for use as a staging base for [[AFFS]] raids into Confederation space. It remained part of the Federated Suns until after the [[Jihad]].<ref name=DARWp69/>

==== First Succession War ====
{{div col|colwidth=25em}}
+
Having initially been annexed by the Federated Suns, Angol was conquered as part of a small-scale Capellan Confederation military operation launched in early [[2787]]; in addition to capturing Angol, by August 2787 the [[CCAF]] had also captured two other former Hegemony worlds that had been annexed by the Federated Suns, [[Rio]] and [[Tybalt]].<ref name="FSWp45"/>
