Aquila Major
Aquila Major is the capital of the Aquila System and home of the Aquilans. Aquila Major appears to be very urban but also densely forested in many areas as well.
Neighbor and ally of Helion Prime, the Aquilans were once a thriving, altruistic people whose advanced defensive technology was equaled only by their space exploration program. They have charted more space than any other culture and their star maps are the universal standard.
William J. Johns chased Richard B. Riddick through the Aquila Prime markets Riddick escaped but three men were killed in the process.[1]
The planet and its inhabitants later fell victim to the Necromongers. After a devastating military campaign against the Aquilans, Zhylaw the Lord Marshal ordered the destruction of the planet with a massive bombardment known as the "Ascension Protocol".[2]
The harvesting season on Aquila Major begins in the 32nd lunar cycle of the planet. The Aquilan Age of Edification has run from the year 3140 to the present day.[3]
At the beginning of The Chronicles of Riddick, the planet Aquila Major is destroyed by the Necromonger Empire along with the Aquilan System, presumably wiping out the Aquilans.
