The Loomis System was a star system settled by humans in the Verge of the Solarian League.

It had a G7 primary with two inhabited planets, Halkirk, where the capital of Elgin City was located, and Thurso, a water world with a much smaller population. The two worlds orbited the star together, with a common center of mass. There were also three gas giants and an asteroid belt. (SI4)

Economy[]

The Loomis System was a source of valuable silver oak wood and seafood.

Since 1877 PD, Star Enterprise Initiatives Unlimited of the Lucastra System controlled the local resources of the system on the basis of hundred-year leases from the Loomis Prosperity Party government. (SI4)

History[]

The Loomis System was colonized by the Loomis Expedition with colonists of Scottish origin. Members of that endeavor became major landowners in the system.

Until the second half of the 19th Century PD, the Loomis System was ruled by three kings of the MacRory family. The first monarch, Tavis I, deeded all his land to the Crown[1].

In the second half of the 19th Century PD[2], when the LPP launched a coup against the MacRory family, King Tavis III abdicated and the Republic of Loomis was established. The MacRory family didn't recoup major part of their family land however.

In December 1921 PD, the United Public Safety Force attempted to arrest Mánas MacRory, which led to the MacRory Massacre. The Massacre served as the catalyst for the revolt launched one month later by the Loomis Liberation League. The revolt was suppressed in February 1922 PD with kinetic strikes provided by the Solarian League Navy. (SI3, SI4)
