Alfirk is located in the deep periphery beyond the [[Draconis Combine]] and coreward of the [[Outworlds Alliance]]; more specifically, it is two jumps rimward from the two most rimward [[JàrnFòlk]] worlds.

== System History ==
The Alfirk system was discovered by accident when a group of colonists led by retired [[Terran Alliance]] [[Colonel]] [[William Alfirk III]] led an expedition to found a new colony world. After making five jumps from Terra, the expedition's sixth jump suffered a [[misjump]] and mild damage to the [[K-F drive]], stranding the colonists in what they would come to name the Alfirk system. (Given that Alfirk is almost 750 light years from Terra and that the first five jumps would have covered a maximum of 150 light years, the final misjump apparently catapulted the [[JumpShip]] across some 600 light years, twenty times the rates jump distance of common jump drives.) The system the expedition arrived in happened to have a habitable world, and a successful colony was established. The only [[Inner Sphere]] faction known to have visited the Alfirk system since the founding of the colony was ComStar.<ref name=TP2Edp93/>

When it was colonized, the planet '''Alfirk''' was probably the farthest colonized planet from [[Terra]]. Established in the [[twenty-second century]] by Colonel (Retd) William Alfirk III, a [[tank]] commander of the Terran Alliance, after a misjump brought them to the habitable system,<ref name=TP2Edp93/> the colony prospered for centuries. Its location remained unknown to anyone until a plague outbreak killed nearly half the population in [[2963]]. The inhabitants repaired the [[JumpShip]]'s drive and prepared to go back to Terra for help. At this time, the scientists discovered they were actually hundreds of light years away from Terra. Nonetheless, while journeying to Terra, the JumpShip found the ComStar [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]]. Much help was given, including medical aid to end the plague, but no [[HPG|hyperpulse generators]] or [[BattleMech]] technology. The people of Alfirk were warned by [[ComStar]] about pirates and the greed of the [[Successor State|Successor States]], and later were told of the [[Clan]]s; their view on the rest of humanity is therefore based on the somewhat biased and misleading information ComStar provided. The native people of Alfirk stand ready to fight should hostilities develop.<ref name=TP2Edp93>''The Periphery, 2nd Edition (sourcebook)'', p. 93, "Alfirk"</ref>
