Diskotaque is an inhabited terrestrial planet that orbits the star Dele located in the Alpha Arm of the Idiodide Galaxy and is part of the United Systems of Ivel.

Physical characteristics

Diskotaque's land is mostly covered in coniferous forests. Small villages occupy clearings within the forests and are connected by unpaved roads. The number of lakes on Diskotaque exceeds 3,500, the lakes are thought to exist above natural springs as many aren't fed by any rivers or streams and all Diskota rivers flow from the lakes.

History

Last Great Diskota Tribal War (3812 BGA - 3796 BGA)

The Last Great Diskota Tribal War involved the majority of the tribes on Diskotaque. A large percentage of the population was killed and also large swathes of forest destroyed from the burning of villages.

Iveli War of Independence (64 BGA - 63 BGA)

During the Iveli War of Independence, Diskotaque voted with an overwhelming majority to leave the Grand Koykinaxal Empire (96% in favour with a 99% voter turnout) and as a result of the planet's loyalty to the Iveli cause and the natural cover provided by the trees against reconnaissance craft, it was chosen as the center of internal logistics and was a major command post that saw frequent failed Koykinax raids and bombing.

Pan Galactic War (12 BGA - 1 BGA)

During the Pan Galactic War, multiple land battles took place on Diskotaque between 9 BGA and 5 BGA. Conservative Alliance forces on Santmal (led by General Prokt) were forced to retreat to Diskotaque after a series of defeats, Expansionist Alliance forces led by General Helv followed the Conservative forces and attempted to wipe out the remainder of the Conservative military whilst also gaining another planet for the Expansionists.

The Conservative Alliance was eventually forced to retreat from Diskotaque in the Diskotaque evacuation in 6 BGA. A brief cease fire was called to facilitate the evacuation. General Muzt Helv did not immediately chase the Conservatives after the cease fire ended, choosing to stay behind and secure the Expansionist control of the planet. Many historians consider this a poor maneuver tactically and that the decision was a key factor in the Expansionist defeat on Kranf in 5 BGA and the subsequent liberation of Diskotaque later that year.

Pan Galactic Recuperation (1 AGA - 10 AGA)

After the Pan Galactic War, sleeping quarters from irreparably damaged starships were given to the villages that had had many houses destroyed so that the residents could rebuild their lives.

In 3 AGA, during the Pan Galactic Recuperation, an international operation was launched by the Galactic Senate to clear mines left behind after the Pan Galactic War called Operation Passage. Over 300,000 landmines were planted on Diskotaque by both Conservative and Expansionist forces during the Pan Galactic War.
