This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

System Information
X:Y Coordinates155.93 : -426.095[e]

The Aea system was the location of at least one habitable planet[1] and as at 3067 was located in the Taurian Concordat.[2][3][4]

System Description

Aea occupied a position in the Periphery close to the Star League era colonies of Girondas and Qalzi and the more modern colony of Regis Roost.[2][3]

System History

The Aea system was already settled in some fashion by 2765, when it appeared on maps as a Taurian Concordat world.[5] For reasons unknown, the Star League had built a Hyperpulse Generator on the planet at some point,[6] suggesting the Concordat was not the first party to claim the system.

The Aea system had been removed from maps by 3085, indicating that the system had either been depopulated or was no longer considered significant enough to be recorded on maps.[7]

Political Affiliation

Aea

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Aea is a wet, lush tropical world noted for an atmosphere dense in sulfurous volcanic outgasses.[6]The foul smelling atmosphere makes postings to the world an unpleasant experience.[44]

Planetary History

As of ca. 3026 it was noted that the only reason why Aea still had any population was support for its HPG station; ComStar was said to maintained a large presence there.[6]

Between 3067 and 3071 Aea was raided by the mercenary-turned-pirate unit Dedrickson's Devils. The Devils destroyed the planetary HPG as well as the main water purification plants during their raid, but worse still, brought with them the deadly Brinton Plague from Brinton, which they had raided shortly before. With the Plague spreading on Aea the MRBC posted a kill-on-sight order against the Devils, adding them to the Most Wanted list of rogue units and offering a bounty of 100,000 C-bills on the head of each member of the unit.[1] This was apparently the last nail in the coffin for Aea as a colony. By 3085 it was not mapped as a populated system anymore.
