Marantha IV, more commonly known simply as Marantha, is the fourth planet in the Marantha system and during the [[thirty-first century]] was the location of a notable military academy as well as manufacturing facilities operated by the [[Alliance Aerospace Group]].<ref name=OB:Pp19/>

===Planetary History===
====Reunification War====
Settled at some point prior to the end of the Age of War<ref name="HB:MPSp93"/> Marantha was a member of the Magistracy of Canopus when a [[Star League Defense Force]] task force under the command of [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]] was assigned to conquer the Magistracy of Canopus in [[2577]]. Marantha was targeted by the SLDF following the capture of [[Canopus IV]], with the [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]]' [[Fifty-sixth Brigade]] landing in late 2584 with support from the [[Fourth Marik Militia]] and the [[Third Regulan Hussars]]. The SLDF invasion was fiercely contested by the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] and [[Mieselsen's Marauders]] despite being outnumbered more than two to one, and the resulting battle saw the Marauders effectively destroyed as a combat unit although the Light Horse managed to escape off-world.<ref name="H:RWp105"/><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref>

Marantha would be occupied by the SLDF for the remainder of the war; once the Reunification War ended, a number of Magistracy worlds were annexed by the Free Worlds League, but Marantha remained a part of the Magistracy.<ref name="H:RWp105"/><ref name="H:RWp158"/>

====Reign of the Star League====
During the [[Star League era]] Marantha was home to the [[Magistracy Aerospace Academy]] (MAA); Marantha had been chosen to host the MAA for a number of reasons, including the civilian spacecraft industry in the system, which was already substantial, and the combination of the large asteroid belt - considered ideal for certain kinds of training - and presence of a significantly sized population of [[Belter]]s living there.<ref name="FR2765:Pp8">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 8: "Logistical Status"</ref>

====Fall of the Star League====
During the final years of the Star League, Marantha was the host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref name=FMSLDFp257>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 257: "SLDF - Magistracy of Canopus Military Command Map"</ref>

====Succession Wars====
Marantha appeared beautiful to the original settlers, but they quickly discovered that the soil lacked certain components required by [[Terra|Terran]] crops. The answer was a series of tailored crops, but in the 2980s a series of famines reduced the planet's agricultural industry to a subsistence level. Despite these problems, Maranthan brandy - produced from native fruit - was still being exported in [[3079]].<ref>''Objectives: Periphery'', p. 19</ref>

====Dark Age====
In early April 3150, the [[Marian Hegemony]] [[Battle of Marantha (3150)|conquered]] the world, only to be forced out by the Magistracy in early May.<ref name=SF88/>

===Military Deployment===
====2584====
* [[First Canopian Light Horse]]<ref name="H:RWp151">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 151: "Magistracy of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref>
* [[Mieselsen's Marauders]]<ref name="H:RWp151"/>
