Dalton V, more commonly known simply as Dalton, is the fifth planet in the system and has three moons named Graves, Marshall, and Trigg. During the [[thirty-first century]] an orbital production facility operated by [[Nimakachi Fusion Products]] was in place at the L2 point above Dalton, producing a number of different [[DropShip]] designs.<ref name=O:FWLp16/>

==Owner History==
+
Dalton's most famous resident was [[Hilda Lauber]], the first wife of [[Janos Marik]]. The Dalton government went to great lengths to reward good work in every field, and as a result no-one was bitter and there was little discontent. The only downside to this practice was a lack of support for the arts; the residents of Dalton believed that there was no way to evaluate a work while the author was still alive. Artists and writers tended to leave Dalton and go to other worlds where their work was appreciated.<ref name=HM162/>

==Planetary Info==
+
By the mid-thirty-first century, Dalton had been inhabited for almost six centuries, and for the entirety of that period, the planet hadn't suffered a single earthquake. This was unique as the first probe that landed on the world in [[2310]] found a lot of seismic activity. Two hundred years later (in [[2521]]) another probe detected no seismic activity.<ref name=HM162/>

+
====The Jihad====
 +
The arrival of the Sixth Oriente Hussars on Dalton was at first seen as a good thing, but it rapidly became clear that their arrival was the first step in the [[Duchy of Oriente]] annexing the system. Despite this, the citizens of Dalton went along with the annexation as they preferred it to becoming part of the [[Principality of Regulus]].<ref name=O:FWLp16/>

Dalton V, more commonly known simply as Dalton, is the fifth planet in the system and has three moons named Graves, Marshall, and Trigg. During the thirty-first century an orbital production facility operated by Nimakachi Fusion Products was in place at the L2 point above Dalton, producing a number of different DropShip designs.[2]

Planetary History

Star League Defense Force troops on world would regularly capture smugglers passing between the planet's continents.[29]

Dalton's most famous resident was Hilda Lauber, the first wife of Janos Marik. The Dalton government went to great lengths to reward good work in every field, and as a result no-one was bitter and there was little discontent. The only downside to this practice was a lack of support for the arts; the residents of Dalton believed that there was no way to evaluate a work while the author was still alive. Artists and writers tended to leave Dalton and go to other worlds where their work was appreciated.[1]

By the mid-thirty-first century, Dalton had been inhabited for almost six centuries, and for the entirety of that period, the planet hadn't suffered a single earthquake. This was unique as the first probe that landed on the world in 2310 found a lot of seismic activity. Two hundred years later (in 2521) another probe detected no seismic activity.[1]

The Jihad

The arrival of the Sixth Oriente Hussars on Dalton was at first seen as a good thing, but it rapidly became clear that their arrival was the first step in the Duchy of Oriente annexing the system. Despite this, the citizens of Dalton went along with the annexation as they preferred it to becoming part of the Principality of Regulus.[2]

Military Deployment

2764

3054

3079

- Deployed across Dalton and Mansu-ri, the unit was at 85% of full strength.

3085

3145

  • Third Oriente Hussars (shared with Mansu-ri)[34]

Geography

Dalton is a water-rich world with stormy weather. These storms would commonly break levees and SLDF troops on planet would assist in relief efforts.[29][35]

Planetary Locations

  • Baron[36]
  • Castleton: the planetary capital city, located on Cumbria[2]
  • Loganwolf Badlands: a desert[23]
  • Marantha City[23]
