Fort Loudon III, more commonly known simply as Fort Loudon, has a single moon named Précis and was an important strategic world for the Lyran Commonwealth for much of its history.[1]
Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
Fort Loudon was first settled in 2460. The planet was initially named LC/T-2395, but was renamed to honor Captain Calvin Loudon for his actions on Nox in 2465, wherein he saved his command at the cost of his life.[1] Although Fort Loudon was colonized in 2460,[1] by 2571 it had vanished from maps, suggesting that it had been abandoned or depopulated during the Age of War.[4]
Star League Era[edit]
During the Star League era, the Star League Defense Force stationed the 123rd Infantry Division at Fortress Loudon, a Castle Brian that remained operational through the Succession Wars and Clan Invasion.[1]
Succession Wars[edit]
The LCAF made extensive use of Fortress Loudon and Fort Loudon's strategic position to raid the Draconis Combine and the Clan occupation zones.[1]
The Jihad[edit]
Clan Wolf attacked and conquered Fort Loudon during the second half of January 3070 as one of a series of assaults into Lyran Alliance space, shadowing the path taken by Clan Jade Falcon, who were also using the disruption caused by the Jihad to annex a number of Lyran worlds.[28]
Military Deployment[edit]
Geography[edit]
Fort Loudon has three continents named Anderssen, Brunei, and Tunisonda. All three are located largely in the equatorial regions of the planet; Brunei has substantial deposits of rare metals within its jungle mountains, while the foothills of the Dover Mountains range on Anderssen have veins of gold and platinum. The largest continent, Tunisonda, has the most arable land of the three continents.[1]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Dover Mountains[1]
- Palos: the planetary capital city, located on Anderssen[1]
- Fortress Loudon: a Star League era Castle Brian operational until at least the late thirty-first century[1]
