Planetary Info
Addicks has four continents, two located in the equatorial region, one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. The two equatorial continents, Frankalia and Auskel, are home to large farming communities. Landersia is the northern continent and contains the planet's capital city Saint Randall. The southern continent is named Sparro. Sparro is home to the spaceport city Neo Carthagia.[2] The two largest groups of initial colonists had their own names for each continent and feature on the world, and each claimed to be the primary colony. The Terran Hegemony selected one of these naming schemes for official use, but the alternate names remained popular into the 30th Century. Under this alternate naming scheme, Landersia is named Tauken, Auskel is Silesia, Sparro is Loknar, and Frankalia is Bureigo.[1]
The world has a very dense, high pressure atmosphere that is difficult for visitors to breathe. Despite the extra effort visitors require to inhale the thick atmosphere, it isn't tainted.[1]
Planetary History
Colonization
Addicks was settled by English, French, and Greek colonists from Terra. The world was blessed with fertile soil, large freshwater lakes, and abundant mineral resources. The colonists were quickly joined by mining companies that took advantage of the world's easily accessed resources. The planet didn't just have industrial concerns, however, many farming communities were also established.[2]
During the first Star League Addicks was home to Tauken Weapons Systems, a company that specialized in combat vehicles and personal weapons. The factories were purchased by Johnson Industries, but the Succession Wars destroyed them.[2]
Amaris Civil War
During the height of the Star League Addicks had developed into a thriving world with a large population with a significant industrial output and was a fairly major world within the Terran Hegemony. In common with other such worlds across the Hegemony, the Star League Defense Force had built several Castles Brian across Addicks and there was still an SLDF garrison in place when Stefan Amaris launched his coup that began the Amaris Civil War on the 27th of December 2766.[9]
Amaris had detailed a substantial force of Rim Worlds Republic force to subdue Addicks, but the initial attacks on the 27th of December failed, leaving the SLDF forces still in control of the bulk the Castles Brian and determined to resist. The Republican forces resorted to the extensive use of weapons of mass destruction to prepare the way for their ground assaults, and as a result the civilian population of Addicks suffered greatly, as did the local infrastructure. The exact death toll incurred in the Republican campaign isn't known, but estimates place it anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.[9]
Succession Wars
Addicks became a forward logistical base and headquarters world for the AFFS. The AFFS basically turned the entire Sparro continent into one large AFFS facility. Many of the AFFS bases and installations found on Addicks were found underground.[1] The MIIO also established a Regional Command center on Addicks.[39]
The Jihad
In April 3068 a combination of Word of Blake forces and mercenaries in their employ raided numerous worlds close to Terra, including Addicks.[40] The Blakists followed this up with a planetary assault in the second week of August 3069, quickly conquering Addicks and incorporating it into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[31]
Addicks was liberated by April 3077 by troops fighting as a part of Group IV of the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR, led by Khan Phelan Kell of Clan Wolf in Exile. Addicks was one of four planets which made up the first wave of the Federated Suns campaign,[41] and the campaign to liberate Addicks was actually brought forward by a month due to the success the 12th Vegan Rangers had during their recon raid on Addicks in early 3077, where the Rangers nearly routed the Blakist defenders on their own.[42]
After the many centuries of war on Addicks, the world's agricultural output was severely reduced. It could grow enough to feed its citizens but not enough to feed surrounding systems.[1]
