One of the first worlds settled by the [[Azami]], '''Markab''' is very similar to [[Terra]]'s Middle East and North African regions. The land is dry and windblown, forming a single supercontinent. Several islands can also be found in Markab's oceans, but the settlers predominantly live on the main continent (Al-Qoranda).<ref name=DARWp58/>

As the homeworld of [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] Senator [[Conner Rhys-Monroe]], Markab became a rebel stronghold when the [[Senate Rebellion]] broke out in [[3135]]. Following the enactment of [[Fortress Republic]] later that year, Markab was for a time a hub of resistance to the Draconis Combine's inroads into former Republic territory. With Rhys-Monroe's death in battle in [[3140]] organized opposition to the Combine collapsed and Markab was absorbed into the [[Dieron Military District]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 41</ref><ref name=FM3145p19/>

Markab is very similar to [[Terra]]'s Middle East and North African regions. The land is dry and windblown, forming a single supercontinent named Al-Qoradana which has very few inland rivers or bodies of water. Several islands can also be found in Markab's oceans, but the settlers predominantly live on the main landmass.<ref name=DARWp58/>
