==System Description==
 
'''Monthey''' is located near the [[Hiberius]] and [[Lande]] systems.
 
 
 
==System History==
 
Monthey was a part of the [[Timbuktu Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] as of [[2750]].<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/> It was considered lost following the [[Succession Wars era|Succession Wars]] and rediscovered by [[Interstellar Expeditions]] in or before [[3069]]. Context suggests that the planet was uninhabited at the time, and Interstellar Expeditions only established a temporary presence to investigate an ancient [[DropShip]] wreckage.<ref name=BW1>''Blue Waters''</ref>

===Planetary History===
 
Interstellar Expeditions initially thought they had found a virgin world and nicknamed the planet "Blue Water." Named places on Monthey/Blue Water as of [[3069]] include the islands of Isla Uno and Isla Dos (referred to as "tropical" at one point); a small continent on the other side of the planet is mentioned where ruins were found that led to the realization that this was in fact the lost world of Monthey.<ref name=BW2>''Blue Waters'' - epigraph refers to the planet as ''"Blue Water" (Monthey)"'' and explicitly spells out that the planet had been Monthey.</ref> Interstellar Expeditions and the mercenaries still kept calling it Blue Water. By 3069, they had hired the [[Periphery Star Guard]] to provide security for an archaeological dig site based around a sunken ''[[Union (DropShip class)|Union]]''-class [[DropShip]] that had crashed at Isla Dos, its remains scattered across Isla Dos and the surrounding shallow waters.
 
 
 
They found numerous aquatic flora and fauna on the planet, but explicitly no [[Terra]]n transplants. These included a rubbery brown seaweed with translucent bulbs; a round, ray-like creature; a school of rainbow pseudofish; an ambush predator resembling a rock at first until revealing to be a nightmare with a thousand skittery legs and the ability to shoot a tethered dart; barnacle-like creatures encrusting the frame of the DropShip; and later swarms of "sinuous black shapes" feeding on human corpses in shallow water. There were also unspecified land animals, as shrieks of terror could repeatedly be heard from animals trapped in a burning forest.<ref name=BW1/>

==Notes==
Although Monthey is detailed on maps within ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' up until 2750,<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/> none of the maps from later eras presented in the Handbooks series of sourcebooks extend far enough into the Periphery to confirm or deny the continued presence of this system during the Succession Wars era.
