Arcadia I - more commonly known simply as Arcadia - is a temperate and somewhat habitable world that, in common with many other [[Clan]] worlds, has been held by - and contested by - several Clans at the same time for the majority of its history as a settled world. Arcadia has a single moon officially named Aeaea but refered to by many of the inhabitants as Liny because of the streaked appearance of the clouds visible in the moon's thin atmosphere.<ref name=H:OKp134/><ref name=TWoRp231/>
 +
 +
== Planetary History ==
 +
=== Early History ===
 +
Arcadia was the first world to be scouted out and subsequently colonised by the inhabitants of the Exodus fleet led by General Aleksandr Kerensky. The colonists originally named the world "Alpha", but it became known as Arcadia because of the paradise it appeared to resembled thanks to its abundant water, dense vegetation and fully-developed planetary ecosystem. The planet had life forms capable of providing food for the colonists - the [[Arcadian Russet]] being one such life form - and ample resources.<ref name=H:OKp134/>
 +
 +
Despite the apparently welcoming appearance of the planet, Arcadia soon proved that it was a far from pleasant planet on which to live. While many Terran species were able to thrive on the planet, many were driven to extinction by the local species, and a viral taint in the atmosphere proved inimical to humans, claiming many of the settlers before agents that could counter the effects of the taint were developed.<ref name=H:OKp134/>
 +
 +
Despite the difficulties of dealing with the viral taint and the extreme volcanism and tectonic activity that rendered various areas of the planet uninhabitable, the rich resources and biological wealth Arcadia possessed allowed the colonists to thrive, but also led to the planet being a high-profile target during the [[Exodus Civil War]].<ref name=H:OKp134/>
 +
 +
=== Exodus Civil War ===
 +
Many battles were fought over various resources on Arcadia, with the combatants soon resorting to using weapons of mass destruction against the various cities, killing more than half of the planetary population and leaving the planet dotted with ruined cities.<ref name=H:OKp134/>
 +
 +
When [[Nicholas Kerensky]] led his Clans to recapture the Pentagon Worlds they found numerous factions on Arcadia, all still grimly determined to fight despite the ruin that had been inflicted on the planet. The largest factions were spread across all three continents; East Arcadia was dominated by the [[Democratic Republic of Rand]], [[Helgren County]] and the [[Kingdom of Surev]], whilst West Arcadia was home to the [[Confederation of Arcadia]], [[Ilkasur Shogunate]], [[Nation of Hastur]] and [[Ravisham Collective]]. Reclan was home to three distinct factions, the [[Dragon's Republic]], [[Garruk and Corban]] and the [[Principalities of Breck and Xanadi]].<ref name=H:OKp134/>

Arcadia I

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Arcadia I - more commonly known simply as Arcadia - is a temperate and somewhat habitable world that, in common with many other Clan worlds, has been held by - and contested by - several Clans at the same time for the majority of its history as a settled world. Arcadia has a single moon officially named Aeaea but refered to by many of the inhabitants as Liny because of the streaked appearance of the clouds visible in the moon's thin atmosphere.[1][2]

Planetary History

Early History

Arcadia was the first world to be scouted out and subsequently colonised by the inhabitants of the Exodus fleet led by General Aleksandr Kerensky. The colonists originally named the world "Alpha", but it became known as Arcadia because of the paradise it appeared to resembled thanks to its abundant water, dense vegetation and fully-developed planetary ecosystem. The planet had life forms capable of providing food for the colonists - the Arcadian Russet being one such life form - and ample resources.[1]

Despite the apparently welcoming appearance of the planet, Arcadia soon proved that it was a far from pleasant planet on which to live. While many Terran species were able to thrive on the planet, many were driven to extinction by the local species, and a viral taint in the atmosphere proved inimical to humans, claiming many of the settlers before agents that could counter the effects of the taint were developed.[1]

Despite the difficulties of dealing with the viral taint and the extreme volcanism and tectonic activity that rendered various areas of the planet uninhabitable, the rich resources and biological wealth Arcadia possessed allowed the colonists to thrive, but also led to the planet being a high-profile target during the Exodus Civil War.[1]

Exodus Civil War

Many battles were fought over various resources on Arcadia, with the combatants soon resorting to using weapons of mass destruction against the various cities, killing more than half of the planetary population and leaving the planet dotted with ruined cities.[1]

When Nicholas Kerensky led his Clans to recapture the Pentagon Worlds they found numerous factions on Arcadia, all still grimly determined to fight despite the ruin that had been inflicted on the planet. The largest factions were spread across all three continents; East Arcadia was dominated by the Democratic Republic of Rand, Helgren County and the Kingdom of Surev, whilst West Arcadia was home to the Confederation of Arcadia, Ilkasur Shogunate, Nation of Hastur and Ravisham Collective. Reclan was home to three distinct factions, the Dragon's Republic, Garruk and Corban and the Principalities of Breck and Xanadi.[1]

Operation KLONDIKE

The 4 Clans assigned to liberate Arcadia during Operation Klondike were Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Blood Spirit, Clan Star Adder, and Clan Steel Viper.
