Laiaka III
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard
Planetary Info
As of 3057, the planetary surface of Laiaka was said to be mostly ocean, with the population living in nomadic drift-cities and getting along harvesting vast, gene-tailored algae mats drifting in the upper reaches of the seas.[34]
The thick atmosphere of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and sulfur, allows Laiaka's surface temperature to approach levels capable of supporting human life under its dim red sun. Unfortunately these same gases prevent humans from breathing the atmosphere unassisted. With little to recommend it the world was ignored during the first wave of colonization.[1]
When the Federation of Skye began expanding, survey teams landed on Laiaka. There they found large deposits of titanium and germanium and other industrial metal ores. Mining companies quickly settled on the world and began extracting these valuable ores. Unlike most worlds that require sheltered cities, settlers built their cities in the mineshafts and caverns left behind by the mining process instead of using the more common domed city plan. At the fall of the Star League, terraforming efforts had begun on Laiaka; the first effort was releasing a tailored algae into the planet's seas to convert massive amounts of carbon dioxide into oxygen. The fall of the Star League put a halt to these plans however, as Laiaka was a border world that saw frequent raids. These raids destroyed much of the equipment needed to complete the terraforming effort and eventually Laiaka returned to its natural state.[1]
At the end of December 3135 the 4th Donegal Guards landed on the planet and were welcomed with open arms. The 4th Donegal Guards, though were soon drawn up outside the city to face an incursion from the loyal Republican militia elements. The militia declined to defend against the Donegal drop, but decided to make an attempt to retake the spaceport once disembarked. The militia assault was lightning fast, and it forced the Donegal Guards backward at first, moving the battle into the warehouses zone. A tank led by Leutnant Joachim Stueben's Kinnol tank rushed forward at the head of a flying column of vehicles, crashing into the militia's line and pushing it back. With the 4th BattleMechs backing them up, Leutnant Stueben‘s lance first blunted the militia attack, and then drove it into the hills. The militia was finally beaten.[30]
