Planetary Info

Cor Caroli is a binary star system with a hot A-class Subdwarf star and a much cooler F0 class star. The habitable worlds and asteroid belt orbit the cooler star. The dwarf star is nearly 680 AU away from the inhabitable worlds, but even over that great distance the electromagnetic radiation it emits interrupts communications and interferes with navigation systems.

The initial settlers were interested in the vast stores of minerals and metal ores available both on Cor Caroli itself and in the asteroid belt. Unfortunately these plans were interrupted when several nickel-iron asteroids were sent to the planet via Mass Driver. The computations used to plot the course of the asteroids were incorrect, and these asteroids landed on the planet's surface. These impacts destroyed several cities and launched a great deal of ash, dirt, and other planetary material into the atmosphere, creating a "limited nuclear winter" that lasted for several decades.

Despite this setback Cor Caroli continued to attract new settlers. By the time of the Star League Cor Caroli was jointly overseen by the Lyran Commonwealth and Terran Hegemony. Both nations had corporations that held operations on the world. After the fall of the Star League the world became part of the Lyran Commonwealth. The Free Worlds League and Draconis Combine raided the world many times during the Succession Wars but the mining operations continued to produce. Repairs and rebuilding to the plants kept them functioning, albeit at a lower rate. By 2950 however, nearly one fifth (20%) of the mining operations production was permanently lost.

The capital city, Corriolas, is found on Ferrini, the northern landmass. The largest mining corporation (Caroli Mining Consortium) has its headquarters in Maureen, the largest city on the southern continent of Nikallini. The smallest continent, Pluribi, is located at Cor Caroli's south pole and is uninhabited.

Cor Caroli was occupied by the Word of Blake during the Jihad, but was the first target of the Lyran portion of Operation SCOUR, the invasion of the Protectorate by the allied coalition. Under the command of Duck Robert Kelswa-Steiner allied forces invaded Cor Caroli on the 21st of January 3077 and liberated the world in less than a week.
