Planetary Info
Alkaid was discovered during mankind's early trips beyond Terra. However, this world was mostly desert with little to recommend it for colonization, particularly with more suitable worlds ready for colonization. Alkid's position in the system further discouraged colonization: Traveling from the standard jump points to the world takes four months, and the planet's orbit around the sun takes fifty-one Terran years. In the early 24th century, explorers from the Federation of Skye discovered a plethora of chemicals and ores located just beneath Alkaid's surface. With this economic impetus, colonization began and the first permanent settlements were established.[1]
During the Jihad a Lyran unit was trapped on the world by Word of Blake forces. The Lyrans fought as insurgents until the Blakists withdrew from the world.[1]
