+ | Fomalhaut III, more commonly known simply as Fomalhaut, is a hospitable world with three moons named Cryos, Iolius, and Scarlet. During the [[Star League era]], industrial-scale mining was conducted on Scarlet, and an ore-refining station was in orbit above Fomalhaut to process the output of the lunar mines.<ref name=DARWp240/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Planetary History=== | ||
+ | ====Early Years==== | ||
+ | Fomalhaut was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] and the Demarcation Declaration of [[2242]],<ref name="HB:HMp16"/> and became one of the worlds within the [[Alliance Core]] region of the [[Terran Hegemony]] following the rise to power of [[Director-General of the Terran Hegemony|Director-General]] [[James McKenna]].<ref name="H:RWp159"/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fomalhaut's original colonists were attracted to the world because more than four-fifths of its surface is covered with water. These colonists, largely from the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, were already familiar with living in large island chains and subtropical forest regions like those present on Fomalhaut. Realizing that heavy industry probably wouldn't do well on the world, the colonists instead established an economy based on tourism. Eventually Fomalhaut became one of the Terran Hegemony's most popular resort worlds, particularly for the idle rich. The presence of significant amounts of metals on Scarlet, an inner and volcanically active moon, led to the establishing of mining industries on the moon during the Star League era, as well as an orbital station to refine the ores.<ref name=DARWp240/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Amaris Civil War==== | ||
+ | As Fomalhaut lacked any significant heavy industry the planet escaped much of the damage commonly inflicted to worlds occupied by the [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]]. The planet wasn't left untouched, however; both the orbital mining station and the spaceport of Otaku were destroyed during the conflict.<ref name=DARWp240/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Succession Wars==== | ||
+ | Fomalhaut was annexed by the [[Draconis Combine]] at some point between [[2786]] and [[2791]],<ref name="FSWp50"/> and Fomalhaut continued to serve as a resort world for both the [[Federated Suns]] and the Draconis Combine. Amazingly, both militaries ignored the world for the most part. The lack of heavy industry removed most of the reasons for raiding the world, but Fomalhaut did suffer some raids from forces looking for water.<ref name=DARWp240/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In July [[3042]], an [[Interstellar Expeditions]] archeological dig funded by [[Snord's Irregulars]] uncovers the vault of a [[Star League]] bank that contained the perfectly preserved collection of stamps owned by a wealthy Terran collector from the twenty-fourth century. | ||
+ | The collection included the only known surviving "Inverted Jenny".<ref name="ISP3:IEp10+">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 10: "Notable Expeditions of IE and its Predecessors"</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====Jihad==== | ||
+ | Formalhaut was one of several worlds to be attacked by the [[Word of Blake]] between 19 and 21 June [[3068]], and as with their other conquests that month the Blakists used a combination of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to complete their conquest.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Having been forcibly integrated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, Fomalhaut would remain an occupied world until freed by elements of the Combine thrust of [[Operation SCOUR]]. The resistance offered by the Blakists was so severe that additional reinforcements had to be drafted in to assist the Combine forces after several months of brutal combat in which both coalition and Blakist forces acted with a disregard for human life.<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Reinforcements arrived in the form of the ''[[Genyosha]]'', who finally drove the Blakist defenders off the planet, but the planetary capital was destroyed in the assault<ref name="JHS:Tp69+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 69–70: "Fomalhaut, Epsilon Indi Liberated"</ref> and it wouldn't be until the 7th of April [[3078]] that the defenders would finally surrender to coalition forces.<ref name="J:FRp59">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 59: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> | ||

− | + | During the [[Dark Age]] the planetary capital city, Lollanda, was rebuilt by the Republic of the Sphere.<ref name=DARWp240/> | |

− | == Military Deployment == | + | After the [[Blackout]] and the establishment of [[Fortress Republic]] Fomalhaut remained hidden from the wider Inner Sphere for over a decade. When [[The Wall|the Wall]] was dropped in [[3149]], Fomalhaut became a target for the Draconis Combine's counterstroke during [[Operation TIAMAT]] a year later. In late March [[3150]], two battalions from the [[Second Dieron Regulars]] attacked Fomalhaut and engaged the defending militia and a mercenary force, the locally raised battalion known as the Aquamarines. The fighting turned merciless between the two forces, until resistance was broken when the Aquamarines' commander was captured and publicly executed. Following this the Dieron Regulars settled into garrisoning the now-quiescent planet.<ref name=SFp80/> |

Fomalhaut III, more commonly known simply as Fomalhaut, is a hospitable world with three moons named Cryos, Iolius, and Scarlet. During the Star League era, industrial-scale mining was conducted on Scarlet, and an ore-refining station was in orbit above Fomalhaut to process the output of the lunar mines.[1]
Planetary History
Early Years
Fomalhaut was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the Outer Reaches Rebellion and the Demarcation Declaration of 2242,[5] and became one of the worlds within the Alliance Core region of the Terran Hegemony following the rise to power of Director-General James McKenna.[10]
Fomalhaut's original colonists were attracted to the world because more than four-fifths of its surface is covered with water. These colonists, largely from the Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, were already familiar with living in large island chains and subtropical forest regions like those present on Fomalhaut. Realizing that heavy industry probably wouldn't do well on the world, the colonists instead established an economy based on tourism. Eventually Fomalhaut became one of the Terran Hegemony's most popular resort worlds, particularly for the idle rich. The presence of significant amounts of metals on Scarlet, an inner and volcanically active moon, led to the establishing of mining industries on the moon during the Star League era, as well as an orbital station to refine the ores.[1]
Amaris Civil War
As Fomalhaut lacked any significant heavy industry the planet escaped much of the damage commonly inflicted to worlds occupied by the Amaris Empire Armed Forces. The planet wasn't left untouched, however; both the orbital mining station and the spaceport of Otaku were destroyed during the conflict.[1]
Succession Wars
Fomalhaut was annexed by the Draconis Combine at some point between 2786 and 2791,[16] and Fomalhaut continued to serve as a resort world for both the Federated Suns and the Draconis Combine. Amazingly, both militaries ignored the world for the most part. The lack of heavy industry removed most of the reasons for raiding the world, but Fomalhaut did suffer some raids from forces looking for water.[1]
In July 3042, an Interstellar Expeditions archeological dig funded by Snord's Irregulars uncovers the vault of a Star League bank that contained the perfectly preserved collection of stamps owned by a wealthy Terran collector from the twenty-fourth century. The collection included the only known surviving "Inverted Jenny".[66]
Jihad
Formalhaut was one of several worlds to be attacked by the Word of Blake between 19 and 21 June 3068, and as with their other conquests that month the Blakists used a combination of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to complete their conquest.[56] Having been forcibly integrated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, Fomalhaut would remain an occupied world until freed by elements of the Combine thrust of Operation SCOUR. The resistance offered by the Blakists was so severe that additional reinforcements had to be drafted in to assist the Combine forces after several months of brutal combat in which both coalition and Blakist forces acted with a disregard for human life.[67] Reinforcements arrived in the form of the Genyosha, who finally drove the Blakist defenders off the planet, but the planetary capital was destroyed in the assault[58] and it wouldn't be until the 7th of April 3078 that the defenders would finally surrender to coalition forces.[68]
The Dark Age
During the Dark Age the planetary capital city, Lollanda, was rebuilt by the Republic of the Sphere.[1]
After the Blackout and the establishment of Fortress Republic Fomalhaut remained hidden from the wider Inner Sphere for over a decade. When the Wall was dropped in 3149, Fomalhaut became a target for the Draconis Combine's counterstroke during Operation TIAMAT a year later. In late March 3150, two battalions from the Second Dieron Regulars attacked Fomalhaut and engaged the defending militia and a mercenary force, the locally raised battalion known as the Aquamarines. The fighting turned merciless between the two forces, until resistance was broken when the Aquamarines' commander was captured and publicly executed. Following this the Dieron Regulars settled into garrisoning the now-quiescent planet.[64]
Military Deployment
Geography
Fomalhaut has just two small continents, Lyria and Oanhu; Lyria lies in the equatorial zone, whilst Oanhu is in the southern hemisphere. There are also a few dozen islands that rise up from the planetary ocean, which the settlers named the Endless Seas. The combination of emerald seas, unusual three-moon nightscape and natural beauty make Fomalhaut a striking and attractive world.[1]
Planetary Locations
- Drearson City[76]
- Lollanda: the planetary capital city, located on Oanhu.[1]
- Otaku: the planetary spaceport; destroyed during the Amaris Civil War.[1]
