'''Alcor III''' - more commonly known simply as Alcor - is the third planet in the Alcor system.

===Planetary History===
Many mining companies landed on Alcor to exploit the easily accessible mineral resources stored in the planet's crust. Although these were productive enterprises, the little arable land on the world lacked specific trace elements that are required for human health. As a result, the Alcorans became reliant on trading ships that brought produce from other worlds. This constant need for trade made Alcor something of a trading hub despite its out-of-the-way location.<ref name=DARWp173/>

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 [[Free Worlds League Military]] 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 at numerous worlds. Alcor was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on the 20th of September [[3068]]. The League would keep control of Alcor until the 7th of January [[3069]], when Lyran Alliance forces recaptured the planet.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

===Geography===
The slightly variable star at the heart of the Alcor system was responsible for Alcor III being a mountainous, geologically active world. Alcor is a rare world, in that it orbits a variable star and has an atmosphere and environment capable of supporting life. The planet's remote orbit, however, appears to somehow mitigate the gravitational stresses caused during the infrequent shifts of its star‘s outer surface. The tectonic stresses created by the Alcoran star have contributed to a number of volcanoes that line the geologically young mountain chains on both main continents.<ref name=DARWp173/>
