| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Age of War==== | ||
| + | Following a string of defeats between [[2416]] and [[2418]] at the hands of [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Peter Marik (24th c.)|Peter Marik]], the Lyran Commonwealth launched a renewed attack on the Free Worlds League in 2420. Due to political maneuverings within the Free Worlds League Parliament the creation of the [[War Powers Act]] strongly curtailed the powers of the Captain-General, leaving Peter Marik unwilling to accept the role again; Parliament appointed one of Peter Marik's officers, a respected general named [[Joseph Stewart]] to the role, but while Stewart was a capable officer he lacked the grasp of strategy needed for interstellar warfare. As a result, the Lyran offensive captured Danais as well as the nearby world of [[Amity]] before routing Stewart's League forces in the [[Concord]] system.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p15"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Second Succession War==== | ||
| + | {{see|Battle of Danais (2841)}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] conquered Danais in February [[2841]] as the [[Free Worlds League Military]] attempted to mount a defense of the important industrial world of [[Irian]] in the face of highly successful offensives by both the Commonwealth and the [[Capellan Confederation]] that had begun years before while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction during the [[ComStar War]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p34">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 34: "Driven To The Brink"</ref> Danais would remain in the hands of the Lyran Commonwealth until FWLM forces retook the planet in [[2843]]; one of the FWLM casualties during the battle was [[William Marik (29th c.)|William Marik]], a ''[[Marauder]]'' [[MechWarrior (pilot)|pilot]] and younger brother of future Captain-General [[Gerald Marik (29th c.)|Gerald Marik]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p35">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 35: "Driven To The Brink"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | During a lull in the conflict in [[2863]] that presaged the eventual armistice Captain-General [[Philippa Marik]]—who had assumed the title after the death of her brother Charles in [[2861]]—came under increasing pressure to disband part of the Free Worlds League Military to allow funding to be redirected to reconstruct the League's damaged industrial base, and to relinquish the powers available to her under [[Resolution 288]]. Philippa resisted both calls, but did dispatch some of her surviving enclaves of scientists to Danais to help rebuild the industrial base there, as well as to the worlds of [[Andurien]], [[Rochelle]], and [[Ryerson]]. Danais, like Andurien and Ryerson, underwent a remarkable level of recovery as a result, and would remain an economically viable world into the [[thirty-first century]] entirely because of the assistance received.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p36">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 36: "Last Chance For Peace"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Third Succession War==== | ||
| + | In [[3007]], the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces raided Danais, capturing the entire command staff of the [[Twenty-first Marik Militia]] in the process; this ignominious defeat led to the Twenty-first being disbanded as a command.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p90">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 90: "Marik Militia"</ref> The Lyran forces responsible for capturing the command staff of the Twenty-first were the [[Thirty-second Lyran Guards]] and the mercenary unit [[Snord's Irregulars]] using a mission that had been devised a planning session involving [[Cranston Snord]] and [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] in mid-3007 already. Cranston Snord's interest in Danais was actually a [[DropShip]] carrying valuable musical instruments which had been shot down over the world's jungles during the fall of the [[Star League]]. What Snord didn't know was that the Free Worlds League was building an [[aerospace fighter]] production facility on Danais and had reinforced the local garrison accordingly. Worse still, the two derelict DropShips that the Irregulars had identified actually contained the [[FWLM]] garrison HQ. Snord's Irregulars prevailed, however, and captured both the FWL command staff and a collection of instruments for their museum on [[Clinton]].<ref name=CSIp20>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', pp. 20–21: Scenario "Amber Surprise"</ref> | ||

The Danais system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 3152 was located in the Free Worlds League.[1]

System Description[edit]
Danais is located near the Bondurant and Concord systems.[2][3]
System History[edit]
The Danais system was colonized during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and was incorporated into the Free Worlds League at some point in the late twenty-fourth or early twenty-fifth century.[4][5]

Planetary History[edit]
Age of War[edit]
Following a string of defeats between 2416 and 2418 at the hands of Captain-General Peter Marik, the Lyran Commonwealth launched a renewed attack on the Free Worlds League in 2420. Due to political maneuverings within the Free Worlds League Parliament the creation of the War Powers Act strongly curtailed the powers of the Captain-General, leaving Peter Marik unwilling to accept the role again; Parliament appointed one of Peter Marik's officers, a respected general named Joseph Stewart to the role, but while Stewart was a capable officer he lacked the grasp of strategy needed for interstellar warfare. As a result, the Lyran offensive captured Danais as well as the nearby world of Amity before routing Stewart's League forces in the Concord system.[5]
Second Succession War[edit]
The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces conquered Danais in February 2841 as the Free Worlds League Military attempted to mount a defense of the important industrial world of Irian in the face of highly successful offensives by both the Commonwealth and the Capellan Confederation that had begun years before while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction during the ComStar War.[28] Danais would remain in the hands of the Lyran Commonwealth until FWLM forces retook the planet in 2843; one of the FWLM casualties during the battle was William Marik, a Marauder pilot and younger brother of future Captain-General Gerald Marik.[29]
During a lull in the conflict in 2863 that presaged the eventual armistice Captain-General Philippa Marik—who had assumed the title after the death of her brother Charles in 2861—came under increasing pressure to disband part of the Free Worlds League Military to allow funding to be redirected to reconstruct the League's damaged industrial base, and to relinquish the powers available to her under Resolution 288. Philippa resisted both calls, but did dispatch some of her surviving enclaves of scientists to Danais to help rebuild the industrial base there, as well as to the worlds of Andurien, Rochelle, and Ryerson. Danais, like Andurien and Ryerson, underwent a remarkable level of recovery as a result, and would remain an economically viable world into the thirty-first century entirely because of the assistance received.[30]
Third Succession War[edit]
In 3007, the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces raided Danais, capturing the entire command staff of the Twenty-first Marik Militia in the process; this ignominious defeat led to the Twenty-first being disbanded as a command.[31] The Lyran forces responsible for capturing the command staff of the Twenty-first were the Thirty-second Lyran Guards and the mercenary unit Snord's Irregulars using a mission that had been devised a planning session involving Cranston Snord and Archon Katrina Steiner in mid-3007 already. Cranston Snord's interest in Danais was actually a DropShip carrying valuable musical instruments which had been shot down over the world's jungles during the fall of the Star League. What Snord didn't know was that the Free Worlds League was building an aerospace fighter production facility on Danais and had reinforced the local garrison accordingly. Worse still, the two derelict DropShips that the Irregulars had identified actually contained the FWLM garrison HQ. Snord's Irregulars prevailed, however, and captured both the FWL command staff and a collection of instruments for their museum on Clinton.[32]
Military Deployment[edit]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Rand: a region of the planet covered in jungles[37]
Companies and Industries[edit]
