Well, Jardine is shown on the 2271 map in the Marik handbook. Most likely it was a original wave settled planet at that time. But having a large predatory animals on the planet might have slowed down the rate of colonization expansion.
The only hint on when it disappeared to be a hidden world is the Marik handbook says Thaddeus Marik declared it quarantined 250 years before the HB was released. The HB's are ingame released 3067, that has it being declared lost in 2817. That date fits all the "needed" criteria. 1st war, during Thaddeus's reign, Blake was running the show, ectra.
So it had at least 500 years of normal growth. It could have had millions, even billions of people on it. These would have been normal Marik citizens. Possibly the one of the other succession war combatants depopulated the planet, and Blake just hid the remains of the planet, or something of that nature.
Or maybe Blake converted all those bad Marik Citizens into good Marik Citizens to use the old west term.
I don't know how much I think that the there was a successful mass transplant of RWR people. Where where they held/kept/what ever for the 33 years before Jardine opened up to them?

Speaking of which, Apollyon was from Jardine and is said to have distinctly Polynesian features.

Согласно принципу бритвы Оккама, я лично склоняюсь к испанским корням названия и соответсвующему произношению.
