System Information
X:Y Coordinates-256.61:-6.27[e]

The Altoona system was home to a barely-habitable world, Altoona III,[1] and as at 2750 was located in the Furillo Province of the Protectorate of Donegal within the Lyran Commonwealth.

System Description

The Altoona system is located close to the Dixie and Rochers systems.[2]

System History

The Altoona system was originally colonised during the First Exodus from Terra[3] but had been abandoned or depopulated by the end of the Age of War.[4] Altoona was then resettled during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War[5][2] but was removed from maps during the Second Succession War[6][7] indicating that the system had been abandoned or depopulated for a second time.

Planetary History

During the Star League era Altoona III was home to a mining colony, despite the planet being barely habitable. With a population of just a few hundred thousand living in domed communities, Altoona III was a demanding place to live; humans could only breathe the atmosphere via filter masks, and all food raised outside the domes had to be intensely irradiated before it could be consumed. Despite this, the mining colony was significant enough to merit a Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces garrison, but the posting was unpopular enough that when the Tenth Skye Rangers replaced the Fifteenth Skye Rangers in the mid-twenty-eighth century, the Fifteenth were happy to head to a posting on the Draconis Combine border.[1]
