System Description
The Alkaid system has two stars, one type B1V and one type G2V.[1]
System History
The Alkaid system was discovered at an early stage during humanity's manned exploration of interstellar space, but wasn't settled until some years later due in part to the long transit time between the system jump points and the one habitable world.[1]
Alkaid II
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Alkaid II - more commonly referred to simply as Alkaid - is the second planet in the Alkaid system and has a single moon named "Vishnu". Alkaid has been home to a substantial chemical industry for centuries,[1] including hosting such companies as Toloy Chemicals.
Planetary History
Despite having been discovered at an early point in the human exploration of space, However, Alkaid was mostly desert with little to recommend it for colonization, particularly with more suitable worlds ready for settlement. 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 twenty-fourth 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]
