		+	== Planetary History ==
		+	===Succession Wars===
		+	Algot was one of the first worlds to be settled by colonists from [[Tikonov]], and for a brief period it was a major industrial center second only to Tikonov itself. By the beginning of the [[twenty-ninth century]] Algot was one of the most populous worlds in the region, and specialized in sciences related to computers and electronics. Then, in [[2822]], Algot was struck by a plague which disappeared a year later, as mysteriously as it had arrived. This gained Algot a reputation for being bad for individual health - something that led to a decline in immigration and a significant increase in emigration.<ref name=HLp153/>
		+
		+	Ironically, for a planet with a reputation for poor health, natives of Algot had the third-highest life expectancy in the [[Federated Suns]] by [[3025]] and the local population had enjoyed exceptionally good health for two centuries. This fact was kept a careful secret by the local population, to avoid their world being inundated with waves of immigrants that would spoil the quality of the their local environment - a feature that made Algot a pleasant world to visit.<ref name=HLp153/>
		+
		+	===The Jihad===
		+	During the last two weeks of October [[3069]] the [[Word of Blake]] launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defenses; Algot was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Three [[Level III]]s from the Word of Blake [[19th Division (Word of Blake)|Nineteenth Division]] descended upon the planet under false flag, with Word aerospace forces firebombed the [[AFFS]] compound on the outskirts of the city of Cassol, depriving Algot of the majority of their garrison forces, and followed by a ground assault across the southern deserts of Algot's sole continent that flushed out the remainder of the [[Algot Militia]] and placed the world under the new Word of Blake Protectorate.<ref name="TCp72">''Total Chaos'', pp. 72–73: "Algot"</ref>
		+
		+	The citizens of Algot chose to oppose the Word's occupation with guerrilla actions rather than surrender their home to invaders unconcerned for protecting the ecosystem. The Nineteenth Division responded by poisoning Lake Ochiba, one of the most important freshwater body of the planet. Even though this caused a death toll reaching close to one million, only angered more of the inhabitants. The resultant quagmire of sabotage and civil unrest forced Blakist [[Precentor Martial of the Word of Blake|Precentor Martial]] [[Cameron St. Jamais]] to reassign the Nineteenth elsewhere and leave a Word-funded mercenary garrison, [[Carson's Renegades]], [[Hannigan's Monsters]], [[Khasperov's Knights]] to deal with insurrection.<ref name="TCp72"/>
		+
		+	On 14 February [[3077]] [[Warrior House Imarra]] met the bulk of the Blakist mercenary garrison in the desert outside Cassol while [[Ambermarle's Highlanders]] and [[Devon's Armored Infantry]] flanked the mercenaries and overran the former AFFS compound the mercenaries were using as their base of operations.<ref name="TCp72"/> When [[Operation SCOUR]] kicked off in [[3077]], Algot was a target for liberation by the allied coalition, but when a task force of coalition troops led by the [[Federated Suns]] arrived in the Algot system on the 24th of February 3077, they discovered that troops from the [[Capellan Confederation]] were already fighting against the Blakists on the planet. At the behest of [[Devlin Stone]] the allied task force withdrew from the system, leaving the liberation efforts to the Capellans.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> By the time Group II withdrew from the Algot system, the [[1st Davion Guards|1st Davion AeroSpace Wing]] had already acquitted themselves well against the [[CCAF]] forces which had attacked the task force at the jump point.<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "First Wave Complete"</ref> Media sources within the Capellan Confederation reported in February 3077 that Algot had rejoined the Confederation, claiming that the allied coalition forces had arrived post-liberation to attempt to take the planet from the Capellans, but had been driven off in disarray by Confederation naval forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp40">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 40: "Liberation At Hand"</ref>

By the beginning of the [[twenty-ninth century]] Algot was one of the most populous worlds in the region, and specialized in sciences related to computers and electronics. Then, in [[2822]], Algot was struck by a plague which disappeared a year later, as mysteriously as it had arrived. This gained Algot a reputation for being bad for individual health - something that led to a decline in immigration and a significant increase in emigration.<ref name=HLp153/> Ironically, for a planet with a reputation for poor health, natives of Algot had the third-highest life expectancy in the [[Federated Suns]] by [[3025]] and the local population had enjoyed exceptionally good health for two centuries. This fact was kept a careful secret by the local population, to avoid their world being inundated with waves of immigrants that would spoil the quality of the their local environment - a feature that made Algot a pleasant world to visit.<ref name=HLp153/> ===The Jihad=== During the last two weeks of October [[3069]] the [[Word of Blake]] launched a fresh wave of planetary assaults, further expanding the borders of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The assaults saw a number of new planets incorporated into the Protectorate, often after the threat - or use - of orbital bombardment or biological, chemical or nuclear weapons to destroy local defenses; Algot was one of the worlds brought into the Protectorate in this fashion.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Three [[Level III]]s from the Word of Blake [[19th Division (Word of Blake)|Nineteenth Division]] descended upon the planet under false flag, with Word aerospace forces firebombed the [[AFFS]] compound on the outskirts of the city of Cassol, depriving Algot of the majority of their garrison forces, and followed by a ground assault across the southern deserts of Algot's sole continent that flushed out the remainder of the [[Algot Militia]] and placed the world under the new Word of Blake Protectorate.<ref name="TCp72">''Total Chaos'', pp. 72–73: "Algot"</ref> The citizens of Algot chose to oppose the Word's occupation with guerrilla actions rather than surrender their home to invaders unconcerned for protecting the ecosystem. The Nineteenth Division responded by poisoning Lake Ochiba, one of the most important freshwater body of the planet. Even though this caused a death toll reaching close to one million, only angered more of the inhabitants. The resultant quagmire of sabotage and civil unrest forced Blakist [[Precentor Martial of the Word of Blake|Precentor Martial]] [[Cameron St. Jamais]] to reassign the Nineteenth elsewhere and leave a Word-funded mercenary garrison, [[Carson's Renegades]], [[Hannigan's Monsters]], [[Khasperov's Knights]] to deal with insurrection.<ref name="TCp72"/> On 14 February [[3077]] [[Warrior House Imarra]] met the bulk of the Blakist mercenary garrison in the desert outside Cassol while [[Ambermarle's Highlanders]] and [[Devon's Armored Infantry]] flanked the mercenaries and overran the former AFFS compound the mercenaries were using as their base of operations.<ref name="TCp72"/> When [[Operation SCOUR]] kicked off in [[3077]], Algot was a target for liberation by the allied coalition, but when a task force of coalition troops led by the [[Federated Suns]] arrived in the Algot system on the 24th of February 3077, they discovered that troops from the [[Capellan Confederation]] were already fighting against the Blakists on the planet. At the behest of [[Devlin Stone]] the allied task force withdrew from the system, leaving the liberation efforts to the Capellans.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> By the time Group II withdrew from the Algot system, the [[1st Davion Guards|1st Davion AeroSpace Wing]] had already acquitted themselves well against the [[CCAF]] forces which had attacked the task force at the jump point.<ref name="JHS:Tp36">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 36: "First Wave Complete"</ref> Media sources within the Capellan Confederation reported in February 3077 that Algot had rejoined the Confederation, claiming that the allied coalition forces had arrived post-liberation to attempt to take the planet from the Capellans, but had been driven off in disarray by Confederation naval forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp40">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 40: "Liberation At Hand"</ref> ===Dark Age=== The planet's [[HPG]] station is one of the few working inside the
