History
New Earth has the distinction of being the first colonized planet outside of Terra's solar system. Colonization was inaugurated on March 18, 2116 with Martin Cabot appointed as first governor of the colony. New Earth contains at least one continent, called Conseco.
New Earth was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the Outer Reaches Rebellion and the Demarcation Declaration of 2242,[12] and became one of the worlds within the Alliance Core region of the Terran Hegemony.[13]
Prior to its colonization, Terran astronomers referred to New Earth's star as "Tau Ceti."
New Earth was incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate by conquest on the 7th of October 3068; the Word of Blake forces responsible for conquering New Earth allegedly used tactical nuclear weapons to secure their hold on the planet.[14] Later in the Jihad as resistance to the Blakists became more organised under the auspices of Devlin Stone's allied coalition New Earth was subject to a heavy raid, intended to test the interior defences of the Protectorate. The raiding party was spearheaded by Com Guard troops and hit New Earth in late July 3076.[15] It would be almost two years before New Earth was targeted for liberation by the allied coalition as a part of Operation SCOUR; a contingent of roughly four Galaxies of mixed Clan forces drawn from the Lyran front of the Operation struck at New Earth on the 8th of February 3078, meeting heavy resistance.[16]
In the wake of the Jihad the planetary government on New Earth was one of many to pass a law stating that any war materiel manufactured or used by the Word of Blake had to be destroyed; the law was more liberal than that passed on many worlds, in that it allowed components from Blakist machines to be sold, but items such as chasses were retired to bone yards for later scrapping.[17]
