== History ==
Cachalot's habitable planet, Orca, was settled relatively early in the Diaspora of Man. Its people decided to not join the Solarian League when the latter was founded and instead became prosperous through independent trade with Beowulf. It had little military power of its own, depending on the Beowulf System-Defense Force for protection.
By the 20th Century PD, the system had a population of 6.9 billion, almost one billion of which lived off-world of Orca, among others in the Snapper Belt.
In mid-1922 PD, Cachalot became the target of the Solarian League Navy's Operation Buccaneer, designed to cripple its orbital infrastructure as a warning to other Core worlds against association with Beowulf and the Star Empire of Manticore. ()
