| Imbros III was a part of the Terran Hegemony when Stefan Amaris usurped the Star League throne and sounded the death knell of humanity�s Golden Age. An unremarkable, water-poor world of rocky mountains and bone-dry canyons, with little mineral wealth save a few veins of precious metals and an abundance of bauxite, Imbros sparked little to no interest for the Usurper. Instead, he forced House Kurita, using hostages of the Draconis Combine�s ruling line as leverage, to garrison this planet in advance of Kerensky�s return. These same Combine forces gave way easily to the liberating SLDF, only to return in force after the League�s collapse just a few years later. Though never a valuable military or industrial prize, Imbros III did provide strategic value to the Combine as a border world to the Lyran Commonwealth, so the centuries of warfare that followed the fall of the League saw many raids and campaigns either launched against this planet or staged from it. The Federated Commonwealth finally captured Imbros III during the Fourth Succession War, as part of the so-called Lyons Thumb, only to lose it again at the onset of the FedCom Civil War. During the Jihad, Imbros III was captured by Blakist-backed mercenaries, who used the planet to stage attacks on both the Steiner and Davion realms. Allied forces, headed by units from Clan Wolf, reclaimed the planet in a lightning offensive, but the ravages of war left much of Imbros III�s countryside scarred, and decimated what few of the planet�s mining ventures were capable of supporting heavier industry. As a member of The Republic, only the influx of new citizens, a result of Devlin Stone�s relocation directives, kept Imbros from becoming a �ghost planet� when the local economy slumped. Today, thanks to the discovery of some new bauxite veins and the introduction of an orbital ferro-aluminum refinery plant by the recently founded Imbros AeroTech Industries Company, the planet is showing signs of economic recovery. Trunner, the largest city and planetary capital, is home to IATIC�s offworld sales division, and sits on the banks of the Youli River on the southern continent of Opilacca. Southeast of Opilacca lie the large twin continents of Barnar and Martego. On Martego, between the Maulan and Wanalahi Rivers, lies the major spaceport city of Larabel, where IATIC also maintains its corporate headquarters. Small towns�most interconnected by a series of winding monorailways that cross expanses of alternating woods and deserts�dot the continents of Opilacca, Barnar, and Martego. Imbros III�s fourth continent, the glacial south polar continent of Fryggia, is totally uninhabited. |
