Owner History

Planetary Info

Graham IV was initially settled by several Terran manufacturers because it possessed a great deal of raw materials useful in construction. Mitchell Vehicles and Dekirk Aerospace both established factories on the world to take advantage of these materials. Although the SLDF greatly benefited from Mitchell and Dekirk's presence on the world, Graham IV had at least six major corporations and countless smaller ones. Unfortunately this meant that Graham IV received a lot of attention from Stefan Amaris' troops during the Amaris Civil War. Widespread nuclear bombardment leveled most of the planet's surface and destroyed the manufacturing complexes. It also revealed a secret Hegemony aerospace R&D facility built beneath the planet's capital, though the radioactivity of the bombs would prevent the search of lostech in its ruins for some time.[2]

During the Succession Wars and later eras, Graham IV still had a small mining presence on the world that focused on the few resources and ores that could be safely removed. A few cities remained after the Amaris troops left, being deemed to small to warrant a nuclear strike. Unfortunately most of the planet is radioactive even today, and most of the population lives in two massive space habitats that orbit Graham IV.[1]
