System Information

Spectral classF9V[1]
Planet(s)2[1]

The Cylene system was home to at least one habitable world, Cylene II, and as at 3145 was located in the Ashio Prefecture of the Dieron Military District within the Draconis Combine.[2][3]

System Description

The Crofton system is located near the Markab and Skat systems[2][3] and consists of a class F9V primary orbited by at least two planets.[1]

System History

The Cylene system was colonized at some point prior to the end of the Age of War.[4] An early Age of War battle between the Terran Hegemony and the Draconis Combine was fought near Cylene. During the battle a disabled Combine fighter made a kamikaze assault upon the TAS Dreadnought, igniting a near-catastrophic fire that almost destroyed the ship.[5]

Cylene II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard

Cylene II - more commonly known simply as Cylene - is the second planet in the system and has three moons named Allestra, Hermione and Joseppe.[1]

Planetary History

The Dark Age

By the mid-thirty-second century the population of Cylene had declined significantly from its peak, thanks to the steadily advancing planetary ice age and the damage inflicted on the planet during the Succession Wars. Cylene still had abundant supplies of ores and mineral resources located near the surface, and these were the only reason that the planet had been inhabited for as long as it had been; it was widely expected that when the readily-extracted ore supplies were exhausted, the population of the planet would decline sharply as the population headed for more temperate planets.[1]

Geography

Cylene has three major continents named Absalom, Clytemnestra and Graus. Absalom runs almost completely around the planetary equator, while Graus lies in the north and Clymenestra the south. Cylene has been steadily moving into an ice age since its discovery by humans, and is becoming increasingly inimical to human life as a consequence; by the thirty-second century the temperature at the equator was near-freezing.[1]

Planetary Locations

  • Halcyon: the planetary capital city, located on Absalom.[1]
  • Waterhole Number Nine: Lake[52]
