The '''Aea''' system was the location of at least one habitable planet<ref name="MSUp17"/> and as of [[3067]] was located in the [[Taurian Concordat]].<ref name="H:MPSp127"/><ref name="HB:HDp78"/><ref name="HB:HLp68"/>

__TOC__

== System Description ==
Aea occupied a position in the [[Periphery]] close to the [[Star League era]] colonies of [[Girondas]] and [[Qalzi]] and the more modern colony of [[Regis Roost]].<ref name="H:MPSp127"/><ref name="HB:HDp78"/>

== System History ==
The Aea system was already settled in some fashion by [[2765]], when it appeared on maps as a [[Taurian Concordat]] world.<ref name=HA10>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 10: "The Aurigan Reach, ca. 2765" map</ref> For reasons unknown, the [[Star League]] had built a [[hyperpulse generator]] on the planet at some point,<ref name=HA35>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 35: "Other Aurigan System - Aea"</ref> suggesting the Concordat was not the first party to claim the system.

As of [[3026]] Aea was mentioned as an [[Aurigan Coalition]] world that had been annexed in or shortly before [[3022]], after the Taurian Concordat had abandoned the world by colonial rule for more than a century.<ref name=HA11>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 11: "Taurian Tensions"</ref> This was a point of contention that caused friction between the Taurians and the Aurigans (see [[#Notes|Notes]] below). The Aurigan Coalition was teetering on the brink of collapse at the time already following the [[Arano Restoration]] that amounted to a civil war;<ref name=HA13>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 13: "The Arano Restoration"</ref> Aea was back under Taurian control by [[3039]].<ref name="HB:HDp74"/>

Between [[3067]] and [[3071]] Brinton was raided by the mercenary-turned-pirate unit [[Dedrickson's Devils]], who then moved on to attack Aea, spreading the deadly [[Scourge Plague]] to this world as well. As a result, the Devils' status with the [[MRBC]] changed to kill-on-sight, due to the urgent need to prevent the Plague spreading further, and a bounty of 100,000 [[C-bill]]s was placed on the head of every member of the Devils.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 17: "Dedrickson's Devils"</ref>

The Aea system had been removed from maps by [[3085]], indicating that the system had either been depopulated or was no longer considered significant enough to be recorded on maps.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 127</ref>

Aea is a wet, lush tropical world noted for an atmosphere dense in sulfurous volcanic gases.<ref name=HA35/> The foul smelling atmosphere makes postings to the world an unpleasant experience.<ref name=BTVG>"BattleTech Video Game": Planet Profile</ref>

===Planetary History===
As of ca. [[3026]] it was noted that the only reason why Aea still had any population was support for its HPG station; [[ComStar]] was said to maintain a large presence there.<ref name=HA35/>

Between [[3067]] and [[3071]] Aea was raided by the mercenary-turned-pirate unit [[Dedrickson's Devils]]. The Devils destroyed the planetary [[HPG]] as well as the main water purification plants during their raid, but worse still, brought with them the deadly [[Scourge Plague|Brinton Plague]] from [[Brinton]], which they had raided shortly before. With the Plague spreading on Aea the [[MRBC]] posted a kill-on-sight order against the Devils, adding them to the Most Wanted list of rogue units and offering a bounty of 100,000 [[C-bill]]s on the head of each member of the unit.<ref name="MSUp17">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 17: "Dedrickson's Devils"</ref> This was apparently the last nail in the coffin for Aea as a colony. By 3085 it was not mapped as a populated system anymore.

==Notes==
*In or shortly before [[3022]], High Lord [[Tamati Arano II]] of the Aurigan Coalition opened annexation negotiations with a number of systems close to Taurian space that had in fact been former Taurian colonies, but had been abandoned by colonial rule for over a century. The Taurians strongly opposed the annexation, feeling those worlds were still Taurian holdings in spirit and too close to their territory to surrender them to another power in any case. These escalating tensions led to a coup in the Aurigan Coalition in 3022 that precipitated the formation of the [[Aurigan Directorate]] and its toppling in turn by the [[Arano Restoration]], effectively a civil war with at least some Taurian involvement that seems to have terminated the Aurigan Coalition as a viable periphery power.<br />The other named systems besides Aea were [[Katinka]], [[Qalzi]], and [[Regis Roost]] though the latter was later confirmed to be an error; the correct fourth system was not named but from the context may have been [[Artru]].
