Planetary History
Chirikof is the a waystation for travelers in the Federated Suns Outback. The AFFS has made the world headquarters for the Chirikof Operations Area, a part of the Crucis March which covers the area between the Capellan March and the Taurian Concordat. Originally settled as a mining colony, the world still exports germanium to Galax. As expansion efforts along the Taurian border grew, Chirikof became more and more important as a travel stop. Ships and crews would use Chirikof as a base station during their explorations, which stimulated the Federated Suns' leadership to build space stations and permanently station military forces there.[1]
The increased number of ships and resulting docking fees were welcomed by the citizens of the world as the mining operations greatly reduced their output. Today Chirikof is still a key part of the transportation network for the Outback, with ships constantly traveling to and from the system. To defend against pirates and other threats, the AFFS High Command has permanently stationed two regiments of marines, a regiment of special forces, and several brigades of active duty and militia conventional forces on the world. Several wings of AeroSpace Fighters and DropShips guard the space stations from threats.[1]
Before the Periphery March was fully activated, Chirikof acted as the headquarters for General Raymond-Roger Marsin's operations in the Outback.[2]
