System Information
X:Y Coordinates-54.292 : -40.367[e]
Spectral classM2V[1]
Recharge time203 hours[1]
Recharge station(s)Zenith, Nadir[1]

The Connaught system was home to at least one habitable world, Connaught III, and as at 3145 was located in the Covenant Worlds province within the Free Worlds League.[2][3]

System Description

The Connaught system is located near the Acubens and Bordon systems[2][3] and consists of a class M2V primary orbited by at least three planets. During the thirty-first century recharge stations were in place at the nadir and zenith jump points.[1]

System History

The Connaught system was settled at some point during the First Exodus from Terra.[4] By the end of the Age of War Connaught had been incorporated into the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony.[5]

Political Affiliation

Connaught III

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Connaught III - more commonly known simply as Connaught - is the third planet in the system and has hosted facilities operated by the noted defense contractor Kong Interstellar.[1]

Planetary History

Star League

During the final years of the Star League, the Rookery Drydocks, an orbital facility over Connaught, served as the homeport of the 17th Fleet (SLDF) of the Star League Defense Force.[32]

Jihad

In response to the recent raids and assaults on worlds within the Word of Blake Protectorate, the Blakists launched raiding parties against various worlds around the Protectorate border in early September 3076. Making use of weapons of mass destruction to augment the damage inflicted, the raiding parties - few of which were larger than a single Level III - struck at the worlds of Algorab, Alnasi, Amity, Bordon, Connaught, Hunan, Kessel, New Hessen, New Kyoto, Ronel, St. Andre, Styk, Tsitsang and Wei. Of the worlds hit, the Capellan Confederation took the brunt of the fighting.[33][34]

Planetary Locations

  • Ranelagh: the planetary capital city, located on Galway.[1]
  • Skellig: a city and the location on Leitrim of the Kong Interstellar manufacturing facilities. Skellig was also the site of the main planetary militia base.[1]
