Midway
Sat Jul 27, 2013 3:06 am
Planet Type: Military/Grassland
Colony Founded: August 2, 2463
Capital: Henderson
Population: 400,000,000
Population Career Demographic (Present): 75% Military (Army), 20% Farmer, 5% Other
Location: Yaka Empire; 54 Degrees, 58,00 LY from Earth
Security: Extreme
Pre-Plague War
Midway (planet name and capital dedicated to the Earth location) was founded in the mid-25th century to serve as a military checkpoint between the "inner" and "outer" Imperial territories, as it is the only (discovered) planet in the 30 degree to 60 degree region of the Empire that has a phase lane to the cluster of star systems beyond.
The planet capital, Henderson, is more comparable to a barracks of massive proportions than a city. By 2500, the 7th Grand Army was had Midway as its official garrison planet. Soldiers stationed on-planet, when not doing strictly-military practices, are assigned to work on farms for physical conditioning, work-ethic building, and to acquire skills to use when soldiers retire or their serving times are up.
The second largest city on the planet, Taalkus, served as a highly important trade-port for the two sides of the Empire, with hundreds of billions of credits passing through city annually.
Current-Day
The Defense of Midway in 2593 has changed the planet's role completely. The amount of military personnel stationed on the planet has tripled; the planet is now home to the 6th and 8th Grand Armies, in addition to the 7th. Tens of thousands of bunkers dot the surface, in addition to the hundreds of Anti-Aircraft Artillery (basically, anti-starship) planetary defense installations to resist invasion. In addition to the planetary defenses, the 5th Battle Fleet and 8th Support Fleet are in constant orbit above the planet, ready to intercept any incoming enemy ships.
