Atreus was first settled during the exodus period, when it was one of the farthest rimward planets to be settled.
One of the reasons that the delegates chose Atreus was because its capital, Atreus City, was one of the few cities that had not been planned; its sprawling, hillside neighborhoods seemed a pleasanter environment in which to locate a government than the austere cities of Oriente, Marik, or Regulus.

A friend of mine who'd had one too many bottles of imported Timbiqui Dark in a smoky bar on Atreus once described the Free Worlds League as "the boiling pot of the Inner Sphere." He was looking for the phrase "melting pot," often used to describe the United States on old Terra.
In some ways, Atreus is the face of the new League: brimming with energy and drive, crammed with hopefuls eager to make their mark in a nation buoyed by new unity and strength.
A sizable amount of the foodstuffs are already earmarked for the expanding cities of Atreus, which is losing much of its arable land to housing and new manufacturing ventures.

 Free Worlds League - House Marik
The first Captain-General, the Head of State and Supreme Commander of the FWL Military, was Walkabout, and it is to him Marik owes it's organization's history, and commitment to honor and good sportsmanship in online mecha-gaming.
Through this time, real-life obligations took Captain-General Walkabout away from his duties on Atreus (the FWL's Capital planet.) Though no clear successor was left in his place, it was decided by the senior officers, until a single Captain-General was put in place, a committee, or "Joint Chiefs" like group would do.
This was a fun diversion for the membership, and typically, battles were of the eight on eight variety.

 House of Atreus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Thyestes begins an affair with Atreus' wife, and in retaliation, Atreus kills all of Thyestes' sons and feeds them to him in a pie.
This son is Aegisthus, who does just that, although not before Atreus had two sons, Agamemnon and Menelaus, who became the brother-in-law and husband (respectively) of Helen (later of Troy).
No man of Atreus had ever done something so noble and “neither he nor any descendant of his would ever again be driven into evil by the irresistible power of the past.” Orestes therefore ends the curse of the House of Atreus.

Of course in the case of translating it into something the brain can see, compress it down to the field of view of the normal eye (i think someone said 90 degrees or 120 w/peripheral vision).
Then you just need to go through some serious physical rehabilitation so that you can know where things are now, since 2/3's of your vision isn't what's directly in front of you, anymore.
