'''New Olympia''' is the third planet in the New Olympia star system and is located in the heart of the Free Worlds League. New Olympia is divided between an independent republic and the [[Marik Commonwealth]]. The planet is home to both the [[Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace School]] and the [[Allison MechWarrior Institute]].
New Olympia has long been a major exporter of foodstuffs. It was home to large agridomes, but few remained after the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. Nonetheless, New Olympia is home to many species of consumable fish, including tuna and bass. New Olympia also has a thriving sport fishing industry, with marlin imported from [[Terra]] and the native [[Hodson's Flier|Hodson Flyer]]s.<ref name=HM154/><ref name=HBM60/>
 
 
 
Olympica Province became a wealthy vacation getaway because of its proximity to the heart of the Free Worlds League and its independent status that kept it outside of the Marik Commonwealth's tax code. Though League officials tried to close the loopholes, Olympica officials were able to argue that the [[Addendum to the Incorporation]] allowed them to retain their status as a tax haven.<ref name=HBM60/>
 
 
 
The "Garden of the Gods" has a thriving tourism industry as well. Many visitors travel there for the winter sports the mountains provide, as well as spa that are located in the region.<ref name=HBM60/>

====Star League Era====
In [[2764]], the [[Star League Defense Force]] [[Sixty-sixth Infantry Division]] was stationed on New Olympia. As tensions between the two governments that ruled the planet began spilling out onto the streets [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] deployed the [[Third Marik Militia]] to the planet on a peacekeeping mission. The Sixty-sixth was ordered to remain on normal duties by the SLDF chain of command, which viewed the situation as a matter internal to the Free Worlds League. After the Third took casualties during the course of their mission a [[battalion]] from the Third lashed out at the Sixty-sixth, apparently out of frustration and resentment over the SLDF remaining inactive during events such as the destructive [[Marik Civil War (28th c.)|Marik Civil War]]. The battalion from the Third attacked a patrol from the Sixty-sixth, prompting the Sixty-sixth to retaliate. The Sixty-sixth nearly destroyed the Third, while Kenyon Marik subsequently claimed that the battalion had gone rogue and had been ignoring orders from the [[Colonel]] in command of the [[regiment]]. The SLDF Intelligence Command believed that the attack may have been an effort by Kenyon Marik to find a way of waging a covert war against the SLDF.<ref name="FR:2765FWLMp4">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', pp. 4–5: "Goals of the State"</ref>
