[3132] Despite orbiting a relatively cool Class K0 Giant, Alnasi presently has a higher mean temperature than
Terra, and has been getting ever warmer for the past thousand years or so. The reason for this is an imbalance in
the planet's iron core, created due to the complex gravitational attractions of the two gas giants and their
gravitational effects did not appear to stunt Alsani's development into a life-bearing - if somewhat young - planet,
their effect has created a world that maintains a rather eccentric orbit. Alnasi orbits its parent sun (formerly
known as Gamma 2 - Sgittarius) with an orbital path that shifts radically when the pull of the outer giant outweighs
that of the inner giant, an event that occurs once every 1,773 years. Coupled with a wobble that creates a
complex seasonal cycle to begin with, this has created a world where animal life has had great difficulty evolving
due to long, abruptly recurring ice ages interspersed with periods of flooding, drought, and peculiar storms.
When settled initially, Alnasi was hospitable, but on the cool side, with receding polar caps and great expanses of
thick and hardy woodlands, and rocky mountains dotting its landscape. Today, centuries later, the planet's
average temperature has increased by over fifteen degrees, and deserts have overrun much of the inland woods.
Though scientists have predicted the trend will continue until the planet becomes virtually uninhabitable for a time,
the people of Alnasi never felt rushed to take any precautions in anticipation of such an eventuality. Instead, the
corporations drawn to Alnasi for its ample veins of common metal alloys and natural gas deposits built a series of
cities and industrial complexes across all four of the world's continents. Together with the cities maintained by the
descendants of the original colonists, all construction and development is looking to the immediate future. During
the Jihad, Alnasi was used as a staging ground for allied forces in the effort to defeat the Blakists once and for all,
with most troops using the massive hangars and warehouses of the spaceport capital city Gantarius, located on
the northern continent of Lantilles, for temporary barracks. Alnasi's other three continents, Hecateas, Insarroples,
and Rowenopia, are located in the middle southern latitudes, connected to Lantilles primarly by oceangoing and
transontinental air traffic.
[3132] Alnasi was originally part of the Draconis Combine until the creation of The Republic. Alnasi became part
of Prefecture I 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] Alnasi was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Alnasi fell under the influence of the Vega territory.
