'''Zebebelgenubi VI'''—more commonly referred to simply as Zebebelgenubi—is the sixth and outermost planet in the Zebebelgenubi system and has a single moon named Nachteufel. Zebebelgenubi has been host to at least two significant defense manufacturers during its history.<ref name=DARWp226/>
Zebebelgenubi was settled in the [[twenty-third century]], soon gaining the appearance of being a frontier world as the colonists build settlements in the flatland coastal regions of the planet. The discovery of various kind of precious gemstones in the mountains across the world as well as deposits of industrial-grade silicon led to Zebebelgenubi developing high-tech industries, with electronics and robotics becoming the dominant industries on the planet. It was during this era that Zebebelgenubi's long association with the Terran Hegemony began, with the advanced robotics company Ulsop Robotics constructing a headquarters in the planetary capital, Gray Valley City, and subsequently becoming the Hegemony's prime developer for system defense networks using artificial intelligence systems.<ref name=DARWp229/>

Amaris' forces learned that the key developer of the SDS system was Ulsop Robotics of Zebebelgenubi, and in response Amaris made the training of loyal Republican SDS operators a priority. An intense three-year period of training activity promptly began on Zebebelgenubi, with technicians and researchers from Ulsop Robotics impressed into training several thousand Amaris' loyalists in SDS network operations. Partisans from the resistance attempted to disrupt the training, inviting harsh responses from [[Colonel]] [[Vargo Burkenya]], the local Republican commander on the ground; after a successful resistance operation resulted in a fire at a training complex that injured more than a hundred Republican trainees and killed forty more, Burkenya responded by executing three hundred Ulsop Robotics personnel. This effectively ended the training of new operators by Ulsop Robotics staff, but Burkenya continued executing researchers and technicians at a rate of five for every Republican killed by the resistance up until he and his command staff were killed by partisan snipers two years later. By this point the Republicans had already trained enough operators and trainers that they needed no further external assistance.<ref name=H:LoTV1p88+/>

=== The Jihad ===
Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space across numerous worlds. Zebebelgenubi was one of the worlds hit and was assaulted by the League forces on 17 October 3068. The League held Zebebelgenubi for five weeks, with Lyran forces recapturing the planet by the 27 November.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>

The [[Word of Blake Militia]] unit administering security to the HPG committed several random acts of violence. When the [[LAAF]] forces attempted to force them from the [[HPG]] compound, the Blakist tanks and infantry instead turned their guns on the compounds themselves. Though no vital components of the generators themselves were damaged, many supplementary facilities such as barracks and administrative buildings were heavily damaged.<ref name=Alliance>''Alliance Recovers Summer, Mizar''</ref>

====The Dark Age====

=== The Dark Age ===
Zebebelgenubi was one of the worlds to benefit from membership of the Republic of the Sphere; the relocation programs implemented by [[Exarch]] [[Devlin Stone]] led to an influx of new settlers transplanted from other Republic worlds, and Zebebelgenubi also attracted the interest of a group of ambitious executives from [[Joint Equipment Systems]], a [[Federated Suns]] industrial manufacturer. Joint Equipment Systems constructed a satellite production facility just beyond the suburbs of Gray Valley City and manufactured state-of-the-art military and industrial support vehicles. The vehicles manufactured on Zebebelgenubi—which included the various JES missile transport range of vehicles—were sold primarily to the Republic of the Sphere government but also on a more limited scale to the governments of the [[Draconis Combine]], Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth. The addition of the JES facility to the withered Zebebelgenubian industrial base provided a long overdue revitalization to the planet.<ref name=DARWp229/>

Joint Equipment Systems constructed a satellite production facility just beyond the suburbs of Gray Valley City and manufactured state-of-the-art military and industrial support vehicles. The vehicles manufactured on Zebebelgenubi—which included the various JES missile transport range of vehicles—were sold primarily to the Republic of the Sphere government but also on a more limited scale to the governments of the [[Draconis Combine]], Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth. The addition of the JES facility to the withered Zebebelgenubian industrial base provided a long overdue revitalization to the planet.<ref name="DARWp229"/>
  
During the [[Dark Age]], Gray Valley City remained the most industrialized of Zebebelgenubi's various cities, but the largest planetary spaceport was still based in Nantucket on the Wurscht continent. Whilst Gray Valley City had a spaceport, the Nantucket spaceport was half a kilometer longer, allowing it to accommodate more aerodyne DropShip traffic. Despite the revitalization of the Zebebelgenubian economy during the Dark Age the continents of Hershaim, Valius, and Zeibleria remained sparsely populated, with their respective shorelines home to the majority of the towns and small settlements found on each continent.<ref name=DARWp229/>

Zebebelgenubi orbits farther out from the system primary than any other body in the system, but despite its position as the outermost body the planet itself is warm and habitable. Considerably drier than [[Terra]], Zebebelgenubi is dominated by mountains with a number of orphaned seas and lakes almost completely surrounded by mountain chains and those relatively few rivers to run across the various continents are following paths cut eons ago. The majority of the five major continents are dominated by rugged rock wastes; many of the mountain chains are covered with petrified woodlands, fossilized reminders of a long-ago age when water moved more freely across the planet's surface.<ref name=DARWp229/>

The two largest continents on Zebebelgenubi were both located in the northern hemisphere of the planet and were named Gastagne and Wurscht by those who colonized the world; the three smaller continents, one in the northern hemisphere and two in the southern hemisphere, were named Hershaim, Valius and Zeibleria respectively. Only in the coastal areas of each continent is there enough flatland to build successfully, and it was these regions of the planet that most of the planetary population was concentrated.<ref name=DARWp229/>

* Various sources describe Zebebelgenubi as a Terran Hegemony world, despite the majority of maps showing the planet as being a part of the Lyran Commonwealth. This appears to have been clarified by ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' which states that Zebebelgenubi was a ''Star League'' world conquered by forces from the Amaris Empire Armed Forces during the Amaris Civil War.<ref name=HLoTv2p118 /> As the most recently published source, this distinction appears to correct or supersede earlier texts such as ''[[The Star League]]'' and ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]''.
