Early History

The Alcyone system has been inhabited since at least 2306; it was during early 2306 that groups of pirates from Kluane who had been raiding Capellan Hegemony border worlds during the war fought between the Hegemony and the Sarna Supremacy were defeated in a decisive naval victory. That victory was only possible because forces from the St. Ives Mercantile League and the Chesterton Trade Federation had entered the conflict in support of the Hegemony.[5]

During the years between the defeats suffered by the Federated Suns over worlds such as Beten Kaitos and Emerson in 2321 and Lucien Davion's retirement in 2332, other worlds with important resources - such as Alcyone - came into dispute. Federated Suns forces were pushed off-world,[7] most probably by forces from the St. Ives Mercantile League, as Alcyone was affiliated with the Mercantile League when the Capellan Confederation came into being in 2367.[9]
