[3063] Algot was one of the first worlds settled by early Tikonov explorers. For a time, it was a major industrial
center, second only to Tikonov itself. Specializing in computer and electronic-related sciences. Algot was one of
the most populous worlds of the region at the beginning of the 29th century. Both population and technologies
have declined markedly since. This is partially due to a mysterious plague that hit in 2822, and disappeared just as
mysteriously the following year. The main factor in the decline of population was the heavy emigration and the
lack of immigration after Algot gained its reputation for being bad for one's health. For the past two centuries,
however, the health of the general population has been exceptionally good. Native Algotians do not let on that
they have the third-longest life expectancy in Davion space because they fear that new waves of immigration
would spoil the quality of rivers, mountain ranges, and resorts that make the planet one of the Inner Sphere's
more pleasant homeworlds or places to visit.
[3132] An original world of the old Tikonov Union, Algot was one of the first worlds settled and colonized by the
early Tikonov explorers. A small but fertile planet, Algot began returning on the investments of its new settlers
almost immediately. Algot became—for a time—a major industrial center, second only to Tikonov itself.

This decline is partially due to a mysterious plague that hit in 2822 and disappeared just as mysteriously the
following year. The main factor in the decline of the population was the heavy emigration and the lack of
immigration after Algot gained a reputation for being a health danger. For the past two and a half centuries,
however, the health of the general population has been exceptionally good. Native Algotians do not let on that
they have the third-longest life expectancy in Davion space. This is due to their fear that new waves of
immigration would spoil the quality of rivers, mountain ranges, and resorts that make the planet one of the Inner
Sphere’s more pleasant worlds.
Algot has only one continent, Camellias, which is about the size of the Terran continent of Africa. It is situated in
both the northern and southern hemispheres. With warm and temperate climates, Camellias’ northern reaches are
the most fertile, supplying the planet with all the food needed to sustain life. The capital city, Algot Prime, was
founded on the northeastern cost of the continent. The location was chosen because of fertile fishing grounds and
an island off the coast that would eventually be used to build a large spaceport. The southern part of the continent
is mostly desert. A desert city, Cassol, is just north of the equator and is the regional capital. It was a large
storage area for the AFFS. South of Cassol is Lake Ochiba, a large freshwater lake covering some 85,000
square kilometers. The lake supplies water for industries and local cities.
When the Jihad came to Algot, the Blakists used the planet’s own history against itself. Using disabling poisons to
subdue the planet, they took the world with minimal force, though they did have to firebomb the military
compound outside of Cassol, destroying the AFFS unit stationed there.
[3132] Algot was originally part of the Federated Suns until the creation of The Republic. Algot 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] Algot was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Algot became part of House Liao, the Capellan Confederation.
