The Australia system is the location of at least one haitable world - 'Australia III" - and as at 3145 was located in the Bucklands Theatre of the Lyran Commonwealth.[2][3]

System Description

The Australia system is located near the Mandaoaaru and Tangua systems[2] and consists of a class K8V primary orbited by at least three worlds. In the thirty-first century there was a recharge station located at the Zenith jump point in the system.Zenith[1]

System History

The Australia system was colonised at some point during the Star League era after the end of the Reunification War.[4][5]

Australia III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Australia III - more commonly known simply as Australia - is the third planet in the Australia system and has a single moon named Perth. For much of the history of the Lyran Commonwealth Australia was the site of a Commonwealth Mint and Reserve Bank, making Australia III an important financial center.

Planetary History

Planetary Info

Australia is vitally important to the Lyran state despite its unimportant location and relative lack of resources. It is the home of one of the Commonwealth's Mint and Reserve Banks, making it a vital financial center. Most of the bank's entrances and exits are classified, and only a few people have attempted a robbery. The few intrepid souls that have made it through one of the entrances were quickly killed or captured in the outermost ring of defenses.[1]

In 3058 the Eleventh Lyran Regulars transferred off the world to reinforce the Lyons Thumb. The banking institutes on the world took it upon themselves to finance a small security force to defend their interests. This corps of private security often trains with and exercises against the local militia unit.[1]
