Planetary Info

Ancha is best known for the fate of the first wave of colonists. After landing the entire group became infected with a virus that eluded the surveyor's equipment. Since they had dismantled their transports to provide planetary infrastructure the colonists were trapped on the world. This virus killed everyone in the first wave of settlers.[1]

For the next two decades, Ancha was untouched by humans. The terrible fate of the first colonists was only discovered after the arrival of the second wave of settlers. Though they were also infected by the virus, the notes and information gathered by the first colonists allowed doctors in the second wave to find a vaccine against the virus. Visitors to the world still receive this immunization both before they arrive on world and during their stay.[1]

Though it has a large civilian aerospace and automotive manufacturing industry. The planet has two continents, Gastiogne and Normandy[1]

In the War of 3039 the Fighting Urukhai's DeMasetri's Sluggers regiment landed on the world. They immediately engaged the defending Shin Legion, distracting the unit long enough for the 6th FedCom RCT to engage the Legion from the rear and flanks. A desperate assault by Legion conventional assets allowed some of the Legion 'Mechs to escape but they were unable to mount effective resistance. They would engage in resistance efforts for the next six months.[21] The 18th Dieron Regulars arrived shortly thereafter, and after inflicting (and suffering) heavy losses, the Federated Commonwealth units withdrew from Ancha.[22]
