| New Aragon was colonized as part of a land scam during the 23rd century. This was one of the saddest chapters of the historical era now known as the Exodus, when New Aragon was settled. The planet was cast as a world with �fertile ground and abundant water� to lure buyers, when in fact most of New Aragon�s two continents of Glastonbury and Dreymon were predominantly swampland. To make matters worse, the land was infested with insect-like creatures carrying more diseases than could be counted.
In spite of this, the colonists drained the swampland, uncovering what proved to be dynamically fertile land able to sustain a large farming population. Among the native amphibian life-forms that survived in the �frog-farm� preserves are several that have became delicacies and are exported as gourmet items. In addition, New Aragon has become a leading center for medical research. The capital of Argos, located on the continent of Glastonbury, is home to the New Aragon Institute of Epidemiology�a leading Inner Sphere medical research facility. Of course, New Aragon has also seen its share of military action. In 2930, Davion forces captured New Aragon. It was not until 3013, when Hanse Davion was military governor, that he was able to restore order�earning his nickname, the �Fox.� New Aragon�s people have staunchly supported House Davion ever since. This is what the Blakist forces found out when they landed on New Aragon. The planetary defenders fought with unbridled passion against the invaders. The defenders held out against the Blakists at the old Star League forts of McMichael and Ellison. Only the liberal use of chemical weapons against those forts allowed the Blakists to secure the planet. The cost of victory was the near-destruction of the planet�s agricultural industry. Glastonbury�s largest river, the Graham River, was so contaminated that it wrecked the entire ecosystem of the continent. |
