The [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] changed that. Though the world was claimed by the Lyran Commonwealth, its position on the Lyran/[[Free Worlds League]] border meant that it saw a great deal of combat. The farms and fields that were once so plentiful quickly stopped producing a surplus of food. Instead the world just managed to feed itself and the soldiers who landed here. The increase in hostilities shut down the tourist trade, further depressing the local economy. It wasn't until the world was gifted to the Republic of the Sphere that things changed. The tourist attractions reopened, and the fertile grasslands were once again converted to farmland.<ref name=DARWp176/>

By [[3039]], Alioth has been famous for its [[sun guava]] fruit for centuries, apparently a major export item. It also features a notable population of [[Exituri]], who had received permission to settle on Alioth from [[Shiloh]] during the period in which Shiloh was a Lyran holding. In July 3039 Duke Florence paid a levy to the [[Silver Hawk Irregulars]], who had captured Alioth; faced with a demand for resources, technology and precious metals, the levy was instead paid in whole or in large part with sun guava produce.<ref name=BE/>
