Altronis is an Alliance Member World and a major economic center producing consumer goods for much of Joint Space.
History
During the Mage Wars, Altronis was controlled by the Marcon Alliance which it served primarily as a slave-world, breeding warriors to fight all over the Known Worlds. It was liberated in 901 B.G.A. by the dragon sorceress Lelerough. So thorough was Lelerough's damage of the Marconian infrastructure that they did not attempt to reclaim the world, and it remained free.
At the start of the Golden Age, Altronis formally joined the Alliance; but due to its remoteness, did little more than agree to a non-aggression pact. They did not even have representation in Arindell. During the Ninety-nine-years war, Altronis severed all contact with the Alliance, but remained nominally a member.
No contact at all occurred until the mid Fourth Age, when Marcus Ransom, son of then-Pendragon Andrei Ransom, found Altronis under the control of a brutal corpocracy. He also found himself stranded, and when the Alliance and Foundation refused to intercede, he set about a rebellion and eventually brought about massive reforms.
As part of these reforms, the Foundation built a large GATE hub on Altronis so that goods manufactured there were easily shipped off-world. This, coupled with standard Foundation economic policies, helped shape a rich and prosperous world.
Prosperity lasted until the Sixth Age, when the solar system was overrun by the Kami. Nearly four quarters of the population were evacuated, while those that stayed behind fought against the occupation for nearly eighty years. Eventually they were subjugated; but the damage to Altronis' infrustructure was so severe that the Kamians felt it was not worth repairing. They left a garrison behind, and forced the few remaining inhabitants to construct defensive systems (generally on-par with what you get out of slave labor). Other than that, the survivors were left relatively free. Most traveled as far from the garrison as they could, and set about rebuilding their civilization.
Because the Kamian Succession Wars did not end for another five centuries, the refugees never returned. The Kamians were driven easily from the planet at the end of the war, and some refugees from other areas were eventually resettled there. Altronis no longer had a culture of its own, and was just another Alliance world, among many worlds slowly putting themselves back together antebellum.
