The Buena system was home to at least one habitable world, Buena II, and as at 3145 was the administrative capital of the Buena Province within the Lyran Commonwealth.[3][4]

System Description

The Buena system is located near the Ayacucho and Valloire systems[3][4] and consists of a class G6V primary orbited by at least two planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the nadir jump point.[1][2]

System History

The Buena system was at some point during or prior to the Age of War.[5]

Buena II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Buena II - more commonly known simply as Buena - is the second planet in the Buena system. Buena has three moons named Bonita, Hermosa and Inestia[1][2] and the Leugo continent is home to a branch of the noted defense manufacturer Arcturan Arms.[2]

Planetary History

Early History

Buena was colonised by settlers of Italian or Spanish descent, who benefitted from a planetary climate reminiscent of that of the Mediterranean region on Terra.[1]

The Reunification War

As the Star League Defense Force completed the first wave of attacks in Operation Mailed Fist - the name given to the Star League intervention into the civil war that had been raging across the Rim Worlds Republic since 2575 - reprisal attacks from Republican forces against worlds within the Lyran Commonwealth were anticipated.[6]

As predicted, reprisal raids began hitting Lyran worlds in late October 2581, five months after Star League operations began, and Buena was the target of at least one of these raids. The raid on Buena was one of several small hit-and-run raids launched in company strength by units from the Rim Worlds Army and achieved little when the raiders encountered substantial Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces defenses already in place.[6]

Third Succession War

In 3020 the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces opened the War College of Buena, a military academy that specialized in training MechWarriors and teaching Maintenance Sciences.[7]

The Jihad

With the destruction of Alarion by the Word of Blake Buena was widely touted as the logical successor to assume the position of capital world of the Alarion Province[2] although there was some speculation that the position might go instead to Kaumburg, capital world of the Kaumburg Archonette. Less cooperative with Tharkad than Kaumburg,[8] Buena continued to push the limits of the authority available as the capital of an Archonette as the 3070s drew to a close.[2]

On the 14th of February 3081 following the formal dissolution of the Buena Archonette the authority the Archonette had over local Lyran Alliance Armed Forces returned to the central Lyran government, and Buena was established as the new capital of the Alarion Province of the Lyran Alliance.[9] Despite the capital of the Province moving to Buena, the Province would continue to be known as the Alarion Province at least until the early 32nd century.[10]
