[3132] The colonists who first came to Alioth were impressed almost immediately by the thick, hyper-oxygenated
atmosphere and unusual warmth for a planet that orbits so far out from its parent star. Only slightly more intriguing
was the abundance of native flora for such a geologically young world, a factor attributed to bursts of solar
radiation that appear to pulse from the sun every few hundred years or so. In the centuries since colonizing Alioth,
the natives have learned to shield their structures against the harmful bursts of solar radiation created by this
unusually active sun, which have been known to completely disrupt communications and produce worldwide
outbreaks of cancer cases every few generations. Local astronomers have also long since learned how to read
the telltale signs of new bursts of activity, in response to which the planet itself goes into a kind of global
shutdown, as if waiting out a worldwide storm. Yet, despite its drawbacks, life on Alioth has been remarkably
pleasant since its first settlements appeared in mankind's early exodus, thanks to fertile soils and mild weather
cycles that made it possible for a variety of Terran and Terran-hybrid food crops to flourish and support a
booming agricultural industry. In addition, the island chains off the coasts of Uvania, the planet's large northern
continent, with their semitropical landscapes of wildly varied native flora, and striking mountain landscapes, were
perfect for establishing exciting getaways for the idle rich, creating a robust tourist trade. During the Terran
Hegemony era, Alioth became a breadbasket and holiday retreat for citizens across the Hegemony, and business
truly boomed in the Star League era, when the world opened up to foreign travelers as well. Unfortunately, the
Amaris Crisis led to this world's fall from grace. Claimed by House Steiner after the fall of the League, Alioth
became another Free Worlds/Lyran border planet, a strategic point during raids and campaigns waged between
Steiner and Marik forces for the centuries to come. Through the Succession Wars and the Jihad, Alioth's
farmlands became scarred battlegrounds and its resorts declined as garrison troops and invading soldiers alike
consumed the local resources like locusts. Under Republican rule, however, this world has begun to bounce
back, thanks in part to a variety of local efforts funded by the "Peace Dividends" that followed Stone's Military
Material Redemption Program. Today, the resorts off Uvania are open once again, and even the southern
continents of Lilandro and Stravio have reported their first profitable crop years in over a century. The capital of
Alioth, Warrinzer, is located on the northeastern coast of Uvania, fifty kilometers north of the primary port city of
Staniskil.
Alioth was originally part of the Lyran Commonwealth until the creation of The Republic. Alioth became part of
Prefecture VIII 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] Alioth was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Alioth joined the Lyons Skye Territory.
