===Planetary History===
 +
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/>

The SDS networks that had become the crowning achievement of Zebebelgenubian engineering were what led [[Stefan Amaris]] to annex the world<ref name=DARWp229/> following his coup on 27 December [[2766]].<ref name=H:LoTV1p88+/><ref name="H:LoTV1p80">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 80: "Cometh Hell's Legions"</ref> Zebebelgenubi would unwillingly end up playing a significant role in the defense of the Amaris Empire; Amaris knew that retribution from the [[Star League Defense Force]] under [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] for his coup was inevitable, and that the defense of his empire depended upon the [[Space Defense System]] developed by the SLDF. Amaris had made acquiring control of system SDS networks a priority during [[Operation APOTHEOSIS]] but the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] forces had only managed to secure control over six networks across the entire of the Hegemony.<ref name=H:LoTV1p88+/>

=== Amaris Civil War ===
+
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+/>

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====
 +
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/>

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 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"/>

Planet(s)6[1]

The Zebebelgenubi system was the location of at least one habitable world, Zebebelgenubi VI, and as of June 3152 was located in the Isle of Skye.[2]

System Description[edit]

Zebebelgenubi is located near the Skye and Syrma systems[3][4] and consists of a class A3IV primary orbited by six planets, the outermost of which is habitable.[1]

System History[edit]

The Zebebelgenubi system was colonized at some point during or just after the First Exodus from Terra and was a member of the Federation of Skye when the Lyran Commonwealth formed in the mid-twenty-fourth century.[5]

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.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

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.[1]

Star League Era[edit]

The SDS networks designed by Ulsop Robotics became the standard for the Star League and were rolled out across every valuable system within the Terran Hegemony, combining drones controlled by artificial intelligence, orbital defense satellites and surface-to-orbit weapon batteries.[1]

Amaris Civil War[edit]

The SDS networks that had become the crowning achievement of Zebebelgenubian engineering were what led Stefan Amaris to annex the world[1] following his coup on 27 December 2766.[17][57] Zebebelgenubi would unwillingly end up playing a significant role in the defense of the Amaris Empire; Amaris knew that retribution from the Star League Defense Force under General Aleksandr Kerensky for his coup was inevitable, and that the defense of his empire depended upon the Space Defense System developed by the SLDF. Amaris had made acquiring control of system SDS networks a priority during Operation APOTHEOSIS but the Rim Worlds Republic forces had only managed to secure control over six networks across the entire of the Hegemony.[17]

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.[17]

Despite the months of training given by the Ulsop Robotics personnel to the first group of operators it still took more than two years for the Republicans to begin bringing SDS networks back online, particularly the most advanced of the systems, the Reagan SDS network in the Terra system.[17] Amaris' forces weren't content with merely having the knowledge to enable them to control the SDS networks, however; they attempted to destroy all of the facilities owned by Ulsop Robotics on Zebebelgenubi, and in the act of razing the various facilities the AEAF forces also ravaged many of the major cities on the planet.[1]

In 2783, the Lyran Commonwealth annexed Zebebelgenubi.[19]

Succession Wars[edit]

The damage inflicted on Zebebelgenubi by Stefan Amaris' forces was just the beginning of Zebebelgenubi's decline; the Succession Wars continued to degrade and demolish the population's industrial and technological base, pushing the world further and further into decline. Throughout the Succession Wars rumors persisted that there were lostech caches waiting to be discovered in hidden mountain facilities, but nothing was found that could arrest Zebebelgenubi's decline.[1]

The Jihad[edit]

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.[46]

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.[58]

Despite the battles fought between the Lyrans and League forces, the Jihad largely passed Zebebelgenubi by; the same technological and industrial decline that had left the planet a shadow of its former self also spared it the attention of the Word of Blake, although rumors persisted of Blakist forces launching clandestine raids deep in the most unreachable regions of Zebebelgenubi's mountain ranges during the height of the Jihad.[1]

The Dark Age[edit]

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.[1]

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.[1]

As part of the Clan Wolf 3150 March offensives, the planet was invaded in what was known as the Battle of Zebebelgenubi.[59][60]

ilClan Era[edit]

By June 3152, Zebebelgenubi had joined a revived Isle of Skye.[2]

Geography[edit]

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.[1]

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.[1]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Gabriel: city and site of the Adler Communications' headquarters[61]
  • Gray Valley City: planetary capital city and site of the Ulsop Robotics headquarters[1]
  • Nantucket: city on the Wurscht continent and site of the largest planetary spaceport[1]

Companies and Industries[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • 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.[19] 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).
