== Planetary History ==

Alhena is a world that travels between two suns via an eccentric orbit. This orbit leads to long winters and short summers. The lack of arable land on the surface and a lack of free water on the surface meant that Alhena's residents needed to import most of their food. The importance of trade for the population cannot be overemphasized: during the [[Jihad]] Alhena's trade was so badly disrupted that nearly ten percent of the world's population starved to death during the long winter.<ref name=DARWp172/>
 +
 +
Shortly after the world was inducted into the [[Republic of the Sphere]], scientists detected several instabilities in the smaller, innermost sun. These instabilities are reminiscent of other stars that have gone nova. As a result, the Alhenan government has drafted a series of evacuation plans in case the worst comes to pass and the star does explode.<ref name=DARWp172/>

During the mid-3140s the [[Wolf Empire]] launched an attack on Alhena, in which the [[Clan Wolf]] forces replicated tactics the forces of the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] used when attempting to fight off the invasion by the Wolf forces a little while earlier; the Wolf units deployed [[Xiphos|Xiphos Assault Battle Armor]] squads a few hundred meters behind the defending forces, with orders to savage the artillery supporting the defenders. The only factor that prevented the tactic from being a complete success was the relative inexperience of the Wolf Empire forces - without that, the [[Republic Remnant|Remnant]] forces would have suffered a major defeat.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp8">''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', p. 8, "Xiphos Assault Battle Armor"</ref>

The Alhena system was a binary star system with four planets, one of which was habitable - Alhena II - and as at 3145 was located in the Republic Remnant.[2][3]

System History

The Alhena system was settled during the First Exodus from Terra.[4]

Alhena II

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Alhena II - more commonly referred to simply as Alhena - is the second planet of four in the Alhena system.[1]

Planetary History

Alhena is a world that travels between two suns via an eccentric orbit. This orbit leads to long winters and short summers. The lack of arable land on the surface and a lack of free water on the surface meant that Alhena's residents needed to import most of their food. The importance of trade for the population cannot be overemphasized: during the Jihad Alhena's trade was so badly disrupted that nearly ten percent of the world's population starved to death during the long winter.[1]

Shortly after the world was inducted into the Republic of the Sphere, scientists detected several instabilities in the smaller, innermost sun. These instabilities are reminiscent of other stars that have gone nova. As a result, the Alhenan government has drafted a series of evacuation plans in case the worst comes to pass and the star does explode.[1]

The Dark Age

During the mid-3140s the Wolf Empire launched an attack on Alhena, in which the Clan Wolf forces replicated tactics the forces of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth used when attempting to fight off the invasion by the Wolf forces a little while earlier; the Wolf units deployed Xiphos Assault Battle Armor squads a few hundred meters behind the defending forces, with orders to savage the artillery supporting the defenders. The only factor that prevented the tactic from being a complete success was the relative inexperience of the Wolf Empire forces - without that, the Remnant forces would have suffered a major defeat.[5]
