Altais lacks any moons.<ref name=DARWp3/> == Planetary History == === Early History === Covered by active volcanoes, Altais was settled for its large amount of radioactive ores. These ores were spewed out of the planet's surface by the volcanoes. Within a century of humanity's arrival, a small meteor slammed into the ocean near a tectonic fault line. The resulting earthquakes lasted for decades and destroyed several major cities.<ref name=DARWp3/> Since that time, the volcanoes have continued to spew greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, raising the planet's surface temperature by twelve degrees in 500 years. Thousands of native plant and animal species have been driven to extinction by the severe climate change, and the jungles and prairies that attracted the original settlers have been replaced by rock-strewn wastelands.<ref name=DARWp3/> === Star League === During the final years of the [[Star League]], Altais was the host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 256, "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref> === War of 3039 === In the [[War of 3039]] Altais was garrisoned by the [[First Ghost]] and [[Second Ghost]] regiments. They [[Eighth Donegal Guards]], [[Dragonslayers]], and [[Gray Death Legion]] invaded in the first wave of the Commonwealth Thrust resulting in the [[Battle of Altais (3039)|Battle of Altais]]. Though the Ghosts fought well, they had to withdraw after two months of fighting.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 28-29</ref> The world would be isolated in the [[DCMS]] counterattack, however, and in November 3039 the [[LCAF]] withdrew.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 74</ref> === Jihad === Between the 7th and 14th of August [[3068]] Altais was one of six worlds raided by a combination of small [['Mech]] units under the employ of the [[Draconis March]] of the [[Federated Suns]] and teams of Federated Suns commandos. The deep objective raids targeted undefended worlds, allegedly to find and liberate prisoners of war in captivity within the Combine since the [[FedCom Civil War]]. The six worlds targeted were Altais, [[Barlow's Folly]], [[Beta Mensae V]], [[Chichibu]], [[Junction]] and [[Misery]], and apparently some prisoners of war were discovered.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> === Dark Age === Despite the increasing temperature and oppressive atmosphere found on Altais the world continued to remain a settled world during the [[Dark Age]], inhabited out of a combination of desire to exploit the metal ores constantly spewed out by the active volcanoes on the planet and sheer human stubbornness. All four continents on the planet were home to at least one human city, with four mining and refining corporations operating on Tanzaria and additional mining and refinery operations being conducted on Lesser Elauria and Welasia.<ref name=DARWp3/> == Political Affiliation == * [[2319]] -
