System Information
X:Y Coordinates234.711 : 87.839[e]

The Marlowe's Rift system was home to at least one habitable world and as of 3151 was located in the Matsuida Prefecture of the New Samarkand Military District within the Draconis Combine.[1]

System Description[edit]

The Marlowe's Rift system neighbored the Gandy's Luck and Wapakoneta system Spinward of Terra.[2][3] The Marlowe's Rift system also sits next to a bubble of interstellar dust and gas also named Marlowe's Rift.[4]

System History[edit]

The Marlowe's Rift system was colonized sometime prior to 2319.[2]

Political Affiliation[edit]

Planetary History[edit]

The planet was originally colonized as a scientific research station.[4]

Star League[edit]

The planet's history changed with the discovery of a unique form of citrus fruit tree. The Meat Tree was found in the deep jungles of the planet's equatorial regions and has the same taste and consistency of cooked beef. Needless to say, this fruit became a massive cash crop and the planet's cities and distribution centers grew up around the groves. The wealth this crop generated attracted the interest of raiders and pirates. Thus the Star League stationed a garrison of the Star League Defense Force to protect the world.[4]

Third Succession War[edit]

In early 3025, the Federated Suns attacked Marlowe's Rift.[35]

Dark Ages[edit]

Throughout the Republic era New Aberdeen became one of the Draconis Reach worlds disputed between the Combine and the Draconis March.[31] The stalemate ended in 3139 when Wolf's Dragoons, in service to the Combine, attacked Marlowe's Rift as part of a successful campaign to secure the Reach once and for all.[36]
