Owner History

Planetary Info

Named after a Terran semi-precious stone, Hyalite was first settled to gain access to chemical compounds and gemstones. Most of the settlers left Hyalite after the gem deposits were exhausted, but the plentiful water supply and pleasant environment allowed those who stayed to make a good life for themselves. The planet's economy is currently based on chemical industries.[1]

Located near the Periphery edge of the Capellan March, Hyalite also serves as a base world for counteracting Capellan and Taurian aggression. During the Jihad, in response to the asteroid bombardment of Taurus and evidence that implicated the Federated Suns, the Taurian Concordat launched a second invasion of the Federated Suns. Hyalite was an early target, captured during late June 3074.[23][5]

In February 3075 the Federated Suns launched a counter-offensive against the Taurian invasion, striking at the worlds of Hyalite, Lothair and Warren. The counter-offensive used a mix of AFFS and militia forces, backed up by the mercenary Hansen's Roughriders. The defending Gordon's Armored Cavalry were shattered when the Roughriders attacked using fuel-air bombs, and the Federated Suns quickly recaptured Warren as a result.[5][4]
