System: Algol

An original world of the old Tikonov Union, Algol became an important agricultural center during the height of Star League. Algol produced enough food to trade with and supply all the worlds within one jump. A large world, Algol has two major continents and a few islands. The largest continent, Shalom, contains the planetary capital of Algol City. It is here that the planet’s food exports are brought for shipment off world through its large spaceport.

Algol City was founded on the coast due to the abundance of fish found in the surrounding waters. Exploration of the remaining continent of Durant revealed that the soil was extremely rich, allowing production of a wide range of agricultural products. The planet immediately began to grow and flourish. The largest city, Kollasa, is home to the planet’s massive food-processing plants. Processed foods are shipped to Algol City on massive barges on the Montrose River. On Durant, the city of Schan was the planet’s largest source of potassium and other important chemicals used in the production of munitions.

During the Fourth succession War, Count Wayne Hargrove-Sung had negotiated the peaceful surrender of the 1st Ariana Fusiliers. In doing so, the Count saved the planet from suffering more damage than it already had. Algol had suffered little since the fall of the Star League and its people did not want to see that changed.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
