==System Description==
Alnasl, despite orbiting a cooler stellar Class K0 giant, has experienced a consistent temperature rise over the past millennium due to an imbalance in its iron core caused by the gravitational interactions of two closely positioned gas giants. This imbalance results in an eccentric orbit with significant shifts occurring approximately every 1,773 years. The planet's complex seasonal cycle, coupled with recurring ice ages and extreme weather events, has hindered the evolution of animal life.<ref name=DARWp4/>

Alnasl is located near the [[Vega]] and [[Cebalrai]] systems.

Despite predictions of increasing uninhabitability, the inhabitants prioritized industrial development over precautions. Corporations, attracted by valuable resources, established cities and complexes across all continents.<ref name=DARWp4/>

In response to the raids and assaults on worlds within the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]], the Blakists launched raiding parties against various worlds around the Protectorate border in early September [[3076]]. Making use of weapons of mass destruction to worsen the damage inflicted, the raiding parties—few of which were larger than a single [[Level III]]—struck at the worlds of [[Algorab]], Alnasl, [[Amity]], [[Bordon]], [[Connaught]], [[Hunan]], [[Kessel]], [[New Hessen]], [[New Kyoto]], [[Ronel]], [[St. Andre]], [[Styk]], [[Tsitsang]], and [[Wei]]. Of the worlds hit, those affiliated with the Capellan Confederation took the brunt of the fighting.<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Later, Alnasl served as a staging ground for allied forces, using the spaceport capital city of Gantarius on the northern continent of Lantilles. The other continents, Hecateas, Insarroples, and Rowenopia, connected by oceangoing and transcontinental air traffic, contributed to the planet's industrial and strategic significance.<ref name=DARWp4/>
