[3063] New Earth was an unexpected bonus success for the men and women who made the first interstellar
voyage. On December 5, 2108, the TAS Pathfinder, the first Jumpship, voyaged to Tau Ceti. Tau Ceti's forth
planet was so much like Terra that it was immediately named New Earth. The glowing reports of the TAS
Pathfinder's crew convinced many to colonize the planet. In 2110, New Earth became the site of the first manned
scientific outside the Sol system; in 2116 it became the site of the Terran Alliance's first offworld colony.
New Earth had more than just pretty landscapes and exotic animals. Deep deposits of metals and rare chemicals
soon attracted heavy industry. By the time of the Star League, New Earth was a major industrial center. Several
major companies had their headquarters there. Five of them, Bergan Industries, Grumman Industries, Newhart
Industries, Nicholas Spacecraft, and Ulston Armor, were major contractors for the Hegemony Armed Forces
and the SLDF.
All five continents - McKenna in the northwest, Lanhold to its east, the massive Neoasia in the south, the island
continent of Kellargo, and even the north polar continent of Arctiqua - boasted major cities and heavy industry.
Dozens of Castles Brian were set up on New Earth as well, and the Star League even built the famous Combat
College of New Earth outside the capital city of Foundation Point, on McKenna.
During the Amaris crisis, the college, most of the Castles Brian, all the major factories, and close to half the
planet's largest population centers were destroyed by Amaris troops using every means available when it became
clear they could not hold the planet. The world's gutted infrastructure and war-ravaged environment left the
survivors shocked and demoralized, victims of widespread famine and disease - particularly the virulent New
Earth Pox.
The Lyran Commonwealth dominates the world today. The centuries and the gradual decline in technology have
closed many of the planet's industries, but the New Earth Trading Company owns several functioning Star
League-era factories, one of which manufactures extremely valuable Jumpship parts.
[3132] Originally known as Tau Ceti IV, the first inhabitable world seen by human eyes beyond the Terran solar
system was so much like home, its discoverers on the TAS Pathfinder were quick to rename it New Earth when
they arrived in orbit in December of 2108. Offering almost everything found on Terra herself, from abundant
water supply to deep mineral, chemical, and metal ore deposits, eager colonists and corporate entities alike
flocked to this new world. It comes as no surprise, then, that by the peak of the Star League era, New Earth was
one of the most heavily industrialized and developed planets in the Terran Hegemony. Five major SLDF
contractors set up their headquarters on New Earth, along with such successful enterprises as the New Earth
Trading Company (NETC). All five continents: McKenna in the northwest, Lanhold to its east, the massive
Neoasia in the south, the island continent of Kellargo, and even the north polar continent of Arctiqua, boasted
major cities and heavy industry. Dozens of Castles Brian were set up on New Earth as well, and the Star League

survivors shocked and demoralized, victims of widespread famine and disease, particularly the virulent New Earth
Pox. The centuries of decline that followed, despite being under the banner of the wealthy Lyran state, did little to
help pull the world out of the ruins, largely due to the continuous raiding and open warfare between the Lyrans
and their neighbors. Only the NETC remained through it all, a last vestige of the once-mighty Star League and the
only viable large corporation still active on New Earth.
Headquartered in Meredith, on Neoasia, the NETC retained its status as a premier transport and trade facilitator
until the Word of Blake Jihad erased Meredith from the map along with a host of other New Earth cities,
including the capital, New Foundation. As the closest planet to Terra, New Earth's strategic value made it the
focus of some of the Jihad's heaviest fighting, which leveled what industry remained and poisoned the land, air,
and seas.
Today, New Earth is populated only by the grace of Devlin Stone's Resettlement Act. Industry has only now
begun to return to the blasted, scarred world, beginning what promises to be a long and slow recovery for a
world that once stood so prominently beside the Cradle of Humanity. The capital of New Earth today is
Wiedergeburt, located on Arctiqua's southernmost tip, where the effects of fallout from both of New Earth's
horrible tragedies has been minimal.
[3132] New Earth was originally part of the Lyran Alliance until the creation of The Republic. New Earth became
part of Prefecture X 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] New Earth remained part of The Republic and is now under its protection, inside the Fortress Republic.
