Planetary History

Menkent is an arid world illuminated by a dim orange star. The world is a little less than half-covered with water, but it's so salty that purification units are needed to prep the fluid for consumption and irrigation. Menkent has little to offer, exporting common metals and small industrial goods.[1]

The world is best known for a battle that took place during the Age of War. In 2408 Alistair Marsden, second Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth, was killed on the world. This left his widow, Katherine Marsden-Steiner, to rule the Commonwealth.[1] In the six centuries since, the world was the site of numerous Draconis Combine raids. These raids damaged the planet's infrastructure.

During the Jihad a Word of Blake WarShips returning from a strike on Skye bombarded the world.[1] The Word of Blake attack on Menkent fell during the last two weeks of October 3069.[36] A trio of Mule-class DropShips fired capital missiles at the surface of the planet. The targets bombarded by the DropShips were not military (they ignored the open militia defense positions), in favor of striking civilian infrastructure targets like the Kluge City hydroelectric dam and the Acropolis fusion substations outside Athens.[37]
