	The resulting population shift as inhabitants followed the capital has left a series of cities on the world that are vastly oversized for the current population. Many of the citizens moved to the countryside as well, making the cities feel even emptier. Several of these cities remain in use, but with dramatically reduced populations. Many of the rest of them have been destroyed by the environment as nature reclaims the land.<ref name=HBS84-85/>		The resulting population shift as inhabitants followed the capital has left a series of cities on the world that are vastly oversized for the current population.

−	Following Clan Wolf's migration in the late 3130s, Arcturus became a independent world and struggled to stabilize. The arrival of the self-appointed Lyran Governor [[Johan Rahmer]], who behaved as a tyrant, quickly soured the population.

−	In [[3142]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] attacked Arcturus and, after driving off the garrison, laid claim to the planet. The Falcons neglected the Arcturus Arms factory and its ''Crossbow'' output <ref name=RGI17p12/><ref name=EoT:Dc6/>, but their rule of Arcturus was harsh. Atrocities such as the [[Commonwealth Day Massacre]] forced the resistance to limit their attacks to avoid reprisals.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Duty'', ch. 8</ref>

−	On [[3151]], after the Falcon's frontline forces departed, an insurrection annihilated their garrison and Arcturus became an independent world of the [[Hinterlands]]. The planet was plunged into chaos, led by a corrupt and inefficient government. The arrival of the [[26th Arcturan Guards]], led by General [[Sarah Regis]], helped stabilize the planet. However, the population's refusal to rejoin the Commonwealth convinced the General to create a new state surrounding the planet: The reborn Tamar Pact, with Arcturus as its capital.<ref>''Elements of Treason: Duty'', ch. 17-21</ref>

Arcturus has three moons named Donegal, Skye and Tamar.<ref name=HBS84-85/><ref name=ola23/> ===Planetary History=== Arcturus was the original capital of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] at their founding in [[2341]], home to [[Arcturan Arms]] and serving as seat of government to the Nine Archons. Eventually, with the Draconis Combine slowly gaining ground in the Tamar Pact to directly threaten Arcturus with an invasion, Archon Marsden proposed a switch of the capital to his own homeworld of Tharkad in the Donegal Protectorate, which was accepted by the other Archons. The resulting population shift as inhabitants followed the capital has left a series of cities on the world that are vastly oversized for the current population. Many of the citizens moved to the countryside as well, making the cities feel even emptier. Several of these cities remain in use, but with dramatically reduced populations. Many of the rest of them have been destroyed by the environment as nature reclaims the land.<ref name=HBS84-85/> Arcturus' economy shifted focus as well. No longer based on serving the politicians and government, agriculture instead forms the core of the planet's economy. The other noteworthy aspect of the citizenry is their strong (almost fanatical) support of the [[Steiner]] family. Many Arcturans joined the [[LCAF]] as soon as they can, eager to see more of the nation that their world formerly oversaw.<ref name=HBS84-85/> ====The Jihad==== On the 18th of February [[3073]] [[Archon]] [[Peter Steiner-Davion]] gave his blessing to a plan formed by [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]], cousin to former [[Coordinator]] of the [[Draconis Combine]] [[Theodore Kurita]], to build a base on Arcturus for use by a multinational coalition of forces Chandrasekhar had pulled together to oppose the [[Word of Blake]].<ref name="JHS3076p26">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 26: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp51">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 51: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> [[Sorenson's Sabres]] were seen operating on Arcturus as a part of Chandrasekhar Kurita's hired forces later in 3073.<ref name=JTPL_6-7>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', pp. 6–7: "Combatants"</ref> On the 11th of May 3073 the [[Word of Blake]] attacked Arcturus, targeting the coalition of forces Chandrasekhar Kurita had assembled.
