[3132] Though the primary sun in this system is a white-hot A-class subdwarf, all planets in the Cor Caroli
system orbit the cooler, more stable F0-class star, like moons around their own distant planet. Even with a mean
distance of 680 astronomical units between them, the effects of the unstable subdwarf can be felt on the planets
themselves, with bursts of electromagnetic radiation frequently disrupting local communications and spaceborne
navigational systems. Mineral-rich, both on the planetary surface and in its expansive asteroid ring, and blessed by
a breathable atmosphere and a biosphere suitable to human habitation, Cor Caroli itself quickly attracted
entrepreneurial colonists, eager to strike it rich in precious metals and manufacturing. Unfortunately, a failed effort
to transport some of the smaller iron- and nickel-rich asteroids to the surface, using specially modified mass
drivers, led to the disastrous loss of several early settlements on the northeastern Carboniri continent and several
decades of what locals called a "mild nuclear winter". Despite this early tragedy, expansion and further
industrialization of Cor Caroli proceeded apace, attracting the attention of the growing Federation of Skye and
the Terran Hegemony, both of which eventually established businesses on planet. By the time of the Star League,
Cor Caroli was another Lyran/Terran border world mutually administered by the Commonwealth and the
Hegemony, a fact that made it easy for the Lyrans to absorb the world after the Star League's collapse. During
the Succession Wars, Cor Caroli was raided several times by Houses Marik and Kurita, damaging many of the
local industries and mining operations. Though efforts to repair these were nearly continuous throughout this era,
roughly twenty percent of the planet's industry had been irrevocably lost by the mid-thirty-first century. The Word
of Blake Jihad ignored Cor Caroli, primarily due to the great distance between the planet and its jump point, so
this world was nearly undamaged when the Lyran Alliance ceded it to The Republic of the Sphere in 3081. Cor
Caroli's capital and largest city, Corriolas, is located on the northwestern continent of Ferrini. Caroli Mining
Consortium, the largest of the planet's industrial mining corporations, is based in Maureen, the largest city on the
southern continent of Nikallini. Cor Caroli's fourth landmass, the southern polar continent of Pluribi, is virtually
uninhabited.
Cor Caroli was originally part of the Lyran Alliance until the creation of The Republic. Cor Caroli 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] Cor Caroli was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Cor Caroli joined the Lyons Skye Territory.
