Owner History

Planetary History

Settled at some point prior to the end of the Age of War[3] Zathras was a member of the Magistracy of Canopus when a Star League Defense Force task force under the command of Captain-General Marion Marik was assigned to conquer the Magistracy of Canopus in 2577. Zathras was targetted by the SLDF in 2583 following the catastrophic losses the MAF navy took at Thurrock, and was conquered quickly by two of the Free Worlds League Military regiments acting as auxiliaries to VII Corps, the 1st Defenders of Andurien and the 3rd Orloff Grenadiers, in late 2583.[5][25]

Zathras would be occupied by the SLDF for the remainder of the war; once the Reunification War ended, a number of Magistracy worlds were annexed by the Free Worlds League, but Zathras remained a part of the Magistracy.[5][6]

Notes

Zathras is located near Hastur and Thurrock and vanished from maps during the 3rd Succession War.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Zathras is also referred to as Zarathas.
