height of the Star League. Algol produced enough food to trade and supply all the worlds within one jump. A
large world, Algol has two major continents and a few islands. The largest continent, Shalom, hosts three major

of its remaining continent of Durant revealed the soil was highly enriched and could produce a wide range of
agricultural products. The planet immediately began to grow and flourish due to this new discovery.
During the Fourth succession War, Count Wayne Hargrove-Sung had negotiated the peaceful surrender of the
1st Ariana Fusiliers. In doing so, the Count saved the planet from suffering more damage than it already had.
Algol had suffered little since the fall of the Star League and its people did not want to see that changed.
[3132] An original world of the old Tikonov Union, Algol became an important agricultural center during the
height of Star League. Algol produced enough food to trade with and supply all the worlds within one jump. A
large world, Algol has two major continents and a few islands. The largest continent, Shalom, contains the
planetary capital of Algol City. It is here that the planet’s food exports are brought for shipment off world through
its large spaceport. Algol City was founded on the coast due to the abundance of fish found in the surrounding
waters. Exploration of the remaining continent of Durant revealed that the soil was extremely rich, allowing
production of a wide range of agricultural products. The planet immediately began to grow and flourish.
The largest city, Kollasa, is home to the planet’s massive food-processing plants. Processed foods are shipped to
Algol City on massive barges on the Montrose River. Groffer’s Toll—located 150 kilometers south of Algol
City—was home to a massive Federated Suns munitions plant and storage depot. On Durant, the city of Schan
was the planet’s largest source of potassium and other important chemicals used in the production of munitions.
Algol has suffered little since the fall of the original Star League. It was Algol’s food production that kept the
horrors of war from visiting it, unlike other worlds around Algol. This did not deter the Blakist forces, however,
when they launched their Jihad. Faced with the threat of weapons of mass destruction, the Federated Suns
defenders surrendered in order to protect the planet and its people. All AFFS troops were rounded up and
shipped to Groffer’s Toll, where they were interned in a makeshift prison in the AFFS depot. The troops did not
wait long before attempting to escape, in the process angering the Blakist commander. He promptly ordered the
destruction of the depot, resulting in the deaths of all but a handful of AFFS troops.
[3132] Algol was originally part of the Federated Suns until the creation of The Republic. Algol became part of
Prefecture V under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic was
created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Algol was released from the control of The Republic.
[3140] After being released from The Republic, Algol became independent *and is currently attempting to remain
independent from House Liao, although without help it will soon find itself under the control of the Capellan
Confederation.**
