Equal parts landmass and oceans, Woodstock is a bountiful agricultural world of rich and varied fertility. It's
fecundity has lead to surplus trade balance that has raised the per capita income higher than most worlds of the
Federated Commonwealth, and considerably better than almost any other worlds in the Sarna March.
[3132] Refugees from the North American continent on Terra originally colonized Woodstock during the latter
half of the 22nd century. Woodstock was very similar to Terra, though its sun was different; the planet was a
perfect place to start a new life. Woodstock is a temperate world devoted to raising agricultural products and a
variety of livestock. The continents cover 27 percent of the planet. The three oceans are as rich and vibrant with
life as the land is fertile. York, the largest continent, produces most of the beef and grows some tobacco for
cigars. Recital City is the planetary capital and is located on Sjardijin, the smallest of the three continents. It was
on Sjardijin that the Terran Hegemony and then the original Star League set up an agricultural research station
that looked at ways to more efficiently produce crops to feed the many worlds in the former Hegemony. It was
rumored that Star League scientists discovered a new method that would advance the science of pest control.
This was confirmed during the Fourth Succession War when Federated Suns units liberated Woodstock.
Woodstock’s third continent is Essex. It is the only blemish on this beautiful world. During Amaris’ occupation of
the Hegemony worlds, Woodstock was attacked by elements from the 141st Amaris Dragoons. They launched a
preemptive strike on Woodstock, using chemical and nuclear weapons to target the military base located on
Essex. The SLDF garrison was obliterated. The weapons poisoned Essex, rendering the continent all but
uninhabitable. The continent is now used in studying radiation’s effect on the environment.
During the Jihad, the Blakists captured the planet when the government surrendered without firing a shot. The
Blakist commander accepted the surrender and caused no damage. The planet was allowed to produce food,
which was exported to Terra and other worlds with Blakist garrisons. At the end of the Jihad, the garrison
commander surrendered the planet and his forces to Stone’s army.
[3132] Woodstock was originally part of the Federated Suns until the creation of The Republic. Woodstock
became part of Prefecture V under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress
Republic was created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Woodstock was released from the control of The Republic.
After being released from The Republic, Woodstock fell back under the influence of the Capellan Confederation.
