== Planetary History ==

=== Planetary History ===
Alkalurops is a world laden with a dense atmosphere that frequently spawns hurricanes and tornadoes. The early colonists (mostly miners and natural gas exporters) took a page from history and constructed most of their homes in the caves and cliffs of the planet's mountain ranges. These dwellings were sealed against the elements, pressurized, and equipped with air filters to provide a suitable environment.<ref name=DARWp203/>

These dwellings were sealed against the elements, pressurized, and equipped with air filters to provide a suitable environment.<ref name=DARWp206/>
  
Under the influence of their environment and its isolating effects, the Alkaluropians developed a culture that is highly insular, bordering on xenophobic. While individuals from the [[Isle of Skye]] are tolerated, most offworlders are simply distrusted and see little hospitality. This served them well during the fall of the [[Star League]]. Forces loyal to Amaris landed on the world and attempted to take control of it, but the Alkaluropians drove them away. During the few raids of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] this pattern was repeated. Ironically the establishment of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], intended to further peaceful behavior, actually triggered the largest amount of violence in Alkalurops' history. The native Alkaluropians resisted the relocation edicts that [[Devlin Stone]] passed by attacking the "foreigners" that were "forced on them." It took nearly ten years for Republic and Lyran negotiators to calm the situation.<ref name=DARWp203/>

The ''[[Jade Falcon Sourcebook]]'' erroneously claims Alkalurops III was invaded by Clan Jade Falcon in [[3050]].<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 36: Original sourcebook for Jade Falcon places Alkalurops in path of invasion, location renders this impossible</ref> It was confirmed by [[Øystein Tvedten]] of [[Catalyst Game Labs]] that [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,12797.msg302452.html#msg302452 Alkalurops being listed as a Jade Falcon holding is an error].<ref>[http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,12797.msg302452.html#msg302452 Catalyst Game Labs Ask the Writers Forum]: "If you want a very good example of faulty information in the first Clan books, look at page 36 of the Jade Falcon SB, and tell me where in the Jade Falcon OZ of 3052 Alkalurops is.... (A hint, it is about 60 light years from Terra, kind of far from the Periphery border of the Lyran part of the Federated Commonwealth)."</ref> ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' later showed that Alkalurops had been mixed up with [[Bensinger]].

The Alkalurops system has four worlds, of which at least one - Alkalurops III - is habitable,[1] and as of 3145 is located in the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.[2][3]

System History[edit]

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

The planet Alkalurops III - more commonly known simply as Alkalurops - is the third of four planets in the Alkalurops system.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

Alkalurops is a world laden with a dense atmosphere that frequently spawns hurricanes and tornadoes. The early colonists (mostly miners and natural gas exporters) took a page from history and constructed most of their homes in the caves and cliffs of the planet's mountain ranges. These dwellings were sealed against the elements, pressurized, and equipped with air filters to provide a suitable environment.[1]

Under the influence of their environment and its isolating effects, the Alkaluropians developed a culture that is highly insular, bordering on xenophobic. While individuals from the Isle of Skye are tolerated, most offworlders are simply distrusted and see little hospitality. This served them well during the fall of the Star League. Forces loyal to Amaris landed on the world and attempted to take control of it, but the Alkaluropians drove them away. During the few raids of the Succession Wars this pattern was repeated. Ironically the establishment of the Republic of the Sphere, intended to further peaceful behavior, actually triggered the largest amount of violence in Alkalurops' history. The native Alkaluropians resisted the relocation edicts that Devlin Stone passed by attacking the "foreigners" that were "forced on them." It took nearly ten years for Republic and Lyran negotiators to calm the situation.[1]

Notes[edit]

The Jade Falcon Sourcebook erroneously claims Alkalurops III was invaded by Clan Jade Falcon in 3050.[47] It was confirmed by Øystein Tvedten of Catalyst Game Labs that Alkalurops being listed as a Jade Falcon holding is an error.[48] Era Report: 3052 later showed that Alkalurops had been mixed up with Bensinger.
