Planetary History
Circinus was rendered uninhabitable in the closing battle of the Jihad which began on the 2nd of April 3081. A black water fleet from the Principality of Regulus had pursued The Master and his bodyguard from the world of Gibson, systematically subjecting each world to which they tracked him to a systematic orbital and nuclear bombardment. To ensure the destruction of The Master and any remaining senior members of the Word of Blake the Regulan flotilla spent several days subjecting Circinus to a systematic nuclear bombardment, using cobalt-laced weapons to ensure the highest possible level of destruction and ultimately the complete sterilisation of Circinus. Every city and military installation on the planet was destroyed, with both The Master and the President of the Circinus Federation, Calvin McIntyre reportedly being killed in the bombardment.[6] The Regulans also destroyed the two Blakist WarShips found in the system, the Vincent Mk. 39-class WoBS Blake's Redemption and the Avalon-class FSS Melissa Davion, captured from the Federated Suns navy years before.[7][8] In addition to destroying the last of the Word of Blake's leadership, the destruction of Circinus also spelt the end of the centuries-old Circinus Federation.[6]
