Owner History

Planet History

Jardine is a planet or system which was originally settled during the Terran Alliance era[1] and which by 2571 had been incorporated into the Free Worlds League as one of many autonomous worlds.[2] Herakleion is between Ideyld and Rexburg and vanished from maps during the 2nd Succession War.[6][7]

At some point between the end of the Star League and the end of the 1st Succession War, it was renamed to Herakleion (or Herakleione) in a deliberate attempt to obfuscate Jardine's existence and location. The jungle world with its ethnically polynesian population was subsequently maintained by ComStar (or rather, a secret cabal within ComStar) and later the Word of Blake as one of the Hidden Five. It was a dedicated center for cybertechnology and the world where the Manei Domini cyborg warriors were created and trained.

Thomas Marik was brought to Jardine for treatment following his injuries in the 3035 bomb blast.

Jardine was re-discovered around 3067, but in the chaos of the Jihad the information was lost again. Thomas Halas eventually learned its location and sent an expedition; however they found the world destroyed, rendered uninhabitable by a natural phenomenon (a traps volcano).
