Jacob 1 and 2

For other locations, or people named Jacob, see Jacob (disambiguation).

Z5M3MM1 and Z5M3MM2, known as Jacob 1 and Jacob 2, are moons orbiting the planet Jordan. Jacob 1 and Jacob 2 used to be part of the same planet, Jacob, until it was forcibly split apart in Year 47.

Geography
Jacob 1's landmasses are contained within one supercontinent, Jacob. The continent Jacob has rich vegetation surrounding its coasts and rivers, where a majority of population is concentrated.

Jacob 2 is slightly smaller and has lower rainfall and vegetation. The few lakes on the planet have high salt content, decreasing the amount of vegetation and life the planet can support.

History
Several hundred years before the Great Summoning, the planet Jacob and planet Jordan used to be the same planet, named Mesopotato. Ibrahim, the founder of the Ibrahimian Empire and leader of Mesopotato, made a decree that both his sons, Jordan and Jacob, were to share the land of Mesopotato equally. After Ibrahim's death, Jordan and Jacob both founded kingdoms with their respective names. They battled endlessly for total control of the planet, both sides experiencing heavy casualties.

Around Year -1300, the planet of Mesopotato had been ravaged by war and the Library of Alexander, which housed all the knolwedge in the Ibrahimian Empire was burned to the ground. Historical records were lost, and the empire became prone to invasion from Space Raiders. The fighting got so bad that the kingdom of Jordon allied with the Raiders in Year -1211 to blow up the planet.

A combined energy overload resulted in the splitting of the planet Mesopotato and the formation of two planets, Jacob and Jordan. The Jacobian Matrix was constructed to keep the planetary bodies in stable orbit and the planet of Jacob was formed from the larger of two halves, and existed peacefully for several hundred years as the continued Kingdom of Jacob.

During the Dynastic Wars fought by the United Tau Federation and Kappa Dynasty, both factions battled for territorial claims over the planet. In Year 47, the planet's geology was so unstable that an induced separation became feasible. The Tau and Kappa factions each contributed antimatter warheads for the project. Antimatter warheads were launched into the planet's core in a precise fashion, and the planet split into roughly equal halves. The several century old Jacobian Matrix used to control the initial Mesopotato split was reactivated to control this process. Fin Corp. technology was used to rapidly cool the surfaces of the new planetoids, cutting a several millennia process down to several decades.
