[3132] A warm world, with an oppressive atmosphere and active volcanoes in all four of its great island chains,
Athenry resembles prehistoric Terra in many ways. Tropical foliage and steep, rocky mountains dominate most of
the four island chains that make up the planet’s landmass. Too close to its sun for polar ice caps to form, the and
southern latitudes, where the air is thinner and the heat more bearable. Frequent rains keep the lowlands of
Athenry lush, giving rise to exotic flora and thousands of interesting animal species.
Many of the planet’s native life forms, scientists learned, held great medicinal potential, leading to the founding of
the Athenry Institute of Medicine on the primary northern island of Golas, in the Larsen Chain. The AIM was
destroyed by a tactical nuke during the First Succession War, however, leaving only a radioactive hulk where the
facilities once stood. In recent years, after the Blakist Jihad and the influx of new inhabitants from Devlin Stone’s
relocation plan, ancient ruins were uncovered in the thick jungles of the southern Zubeckis Chain, particularly on
the secondary island of Vasquez. Studies of these ruins revealed that they are the remains of colonies established
almost a full century before the first settlers were thought to have made planetfall on Athenry. Though no one
knows what fate befell these colonists, the so-called Zubeckis ruins, which exhibit architectural styles and
techniques common to Southeast Asian cultures of the 22nd century, have become a tourist attraction and an
archaeological curiosity, drawing millions of visitors each year. The apparent capital of these ruined colonies has
been dubbed “City of the Lost,” and parts of the site were recently opened to the public.
Athenry’s capital city of New Senna is perched in the rocky mountains of Lisbon, the primary mass of the
southern polar Espalar Chain. Though cities dot much of the Espalar, Zubeckis and Larsen Chains, only a few
towns have been established on the mostly equatorial Wandessa Chain, largely due to the extreme temperatures
and humidity of that region. Largest among these settlements is the seaport city of Ricobar, which serves as a port
of call for the planet’s oceangoing trade.
[3132] Athenry was originally part of the Draconis Combine until the creation of The Republic. Athenry became
part of Prefecture II 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] Athenry was released from the control of The Republic.
[3140] After being released from The Republic, Athenry became independent *and is currently attempting to
remain independent from House Kurita. Having been part of The Republic and the freedom it brings Athenry is
not willing to compromise and has declared that they continue to support The Republic and will not join House
Kurita. The Kuritan ambassador has been to the planet several times attempting to convince the planetary
governor that it would be in their best interest to sign the Compact Agreement. Thus far House Kurita has been
pacified with a trade agreement.**
