Before Albalii was settled the planet was a desert world, where each of the three continents were cut off from the saltwater oceans on the planet by steep cliffs, a geological formation that had led to the continents effectively becoming large plateaus. The three continents were named Euphrates, Omar and Sadig. Omar is located in the southern hemisphere, while Euphrates and Sadig are locatedin the northern hemisphere, and each had unusually strong currents, which were the cause of the odd structure of the three continents.<ref name=DARWp24/>

'''Albalii''' was a desert world when it was first settled. The three continents, Omar, Sadig and Euphrates were isolated from the nearby oceans by steep cliffs, effectively turning the continents into large plateaus. The original settlers balked at the cost of importing fresh water from other worlds, and so the Albalii government instead hired [[DropShip]]s to ferry large amounts of seawater from their oceans into artificial lakes. This water was then purified and the minerals removed. The process of filling the lakes took ten years, but was well worth the effort. Even after the fall of the [[Star League]] the world's transformation remained. Most of the world's cities are located along the coasts of these artificial oceans, overseeing the production of food in the croplands they've created. The inhabitants of Albalii are justifiably proud of their accomplishments, particularly the amount of arable land they're cultivating which exceeds that of the original settlers by a factor of a thousand.<ref name=DARWp24/>

The Albalii system was home to at least one habitable world, Albalii II, and as at 3145 was located in the Ashio Prefecture of the Dieron Military District within the Draconis Combine.[2][3]

System History

The Albalii system was colonized either during or before the Age of War.[4]

Albalii II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Albalii II - more commonly known simply as Albalii - was the second planet in the Albalii system.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

The first colonists on Albalii were of Arabic descent, and they soon learned that the inland regions of the varous continents were a poor prospect for agriculture. The first cities on the planet grew on the few beachfront areas that existed, as well as long the few readily accessible rivers; the inland regions were left largely to mineral exploitation.[1]

The Star League

The government of Albalii was looking to expand the amount of agriculture taking place on the planet, but were unwilling to pay the costs of importing fresh water from elsewhere, and instead embarked on a feat of planetary engineering; the government hired DropShips and over teh course of the next ten years ferried huge quantities of water from the oceans into artificial lakes on the various continents. The water was then purified, and the coastlines of these artificial oceans became the sites for most of Albalii's cities, watching over the crops growing in the newly-created farmlands. Even in the Dark Age, the population would be justifiably proud of the accomplishments made by them and their ancestors, accomplishments which included increasing the amount of arable land cultivated more than a thousandfold.[1]

- At this point in time the 6th Arkab Legion were deployed across, Dabih and Albalii. The 6th was at 75% of full strength, with 50% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology.
