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 Hyalite as a result.[5][4] The Roughriders went on to attack the world of Amber Grove in April using a mix of nuclear and non-nuclear weapons captured from the Taurian forces on Hyalite.[5][28]

A few weeks later, the TCS Vendetta arrived in the Hyalite system, and on the 3rd of May 3075 the WarShip launched an orbital attack on Hyalite, concentrating on the military facilities on the planet as well as the HPG compound that had been subverted by the Roughriders. This was the first of a number of orbital bombardments the Vendetta would carry out across several worlds in pursuit of the Roughriders.[29][30]
