Planetary Info
Odessa was settled early in humanity's expansion to the stars. A system with four worlds and at least one asteroid belt, most of the inhabitants live on the world of Odessa III, generally simply referred to as "Odessa". The Word of Blake operated a secret facility referred to by the Word as "Ruins of Gabriel" in the Odessa system near the fourth planet, Odessa IV, a gas giant.
Odessa III
During the First Succession War Odessa was seriously damaged by heavy fighting. Over the next two hundred years, Odessa was able to rebuild itself and form a vital part of the Commonwealth's food supply. Exports of the Odessan Raxx also helped the planet recover.[3]
An enforced quarantine was established in the Odessa system in February 3075 as a result of the plague outbreaks that continued to erupt after the Word of Blake poisoning of the world the year before.[4][5] Any ships arriving in the system were subject to boarding and search operations. Any ship that landed on the world would be destroyed. The entire population was infected with the virulent contagion released by the Word of Blake, which explains these drastic measures.[6] In May, Clan Ghost Bear naval elements, including a Leviathan, arrived in the Odessa system and drove the Blakists out of the system.[7]
Odessa IV and the Ruins of Gabriel
Odessa IV is probably best known for harboring one of the Word of Blake's Hidden Five worlds. The naval base named "The Ruins of Gabriel" was located near this gas giant. Located at the edge of the system, activity around Odessa IV is also obscured by an asteroid belt between Odessa III and IV.[3]
On the 9th of November 3073 Chandrasekhar Kurita won naval support from both the Lyran Alliance and Clan Wolf-in-Exile for a strike mission he was planning against the Ruins of Gabriel.[8][9] In 3074 a small task force consisting of elements from the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces, Clan Wolf-in-Exile, and several mercenary units hired by Chandrasekhar Kurita attacked the Ruins. In the fighting the Mjolnir-class WarShip LAS Yggdrasil was damaged, and while the Blakists were able to beat the attack off, they poisoned Odessa III. To deny information to their enemies, the Word of Blake stripped the base of all available information, destroyed the Naga class ship that was undergoing repairs within the facility, and programmed all their drone fighters to self-destruct.[3][6][9]
