WORLDS VISITED

Worlds are presented in the order they were visited.

Solaris VII: Located in Lyran space, relatively close to Terra. Famous for the mech gladiator games hosted there.

Zaniah: Minor world in the Isle of Skye. A retreat for retired mechwarriors. Picked up Satan here.

Alcor: Minor Lyran industrial/mining world in the Isle of Skye. The fledgling Lancers fought the Blue Tigers merc company here.

Gacrux: Technically part of Skye, the mining world of Gacrux has ever looked to Tharkad for guidance, not Skye. Jinx' homeworld.

Galatea: The mercenary star. This is where all mercs eventually wind up in search of employment. ComStar's Merc Review Board (MRB) is located here.

Hesperus: Mucho importante Lyran factory world. Has been attacked repeatedly, but never razed, though it’s been close a couple of times. Lancers fiercely defended Hesperus from a join Combine/Free Worlds attack. Stellar remained behind to garrison Kincaid Complex for a while.

Terra: The birthplace of humanity. In theory it's an independent world with elected leaders. In practice it's owned and run by ComStar.

Sudeten: Key world in the Tamar Pact (the Lyran region bordering the Combine). Chosen as a garrison planet for the Lancers (specifically the Wolf/Satan)

Waldorff: Located in the Trellshire province of the Tamar Pact. Chosen as a garrison planet for the Lancers (specifically Princess, also a forward operating base for the Katanas). It has a very pleasant climate, if perhaps a little warm, and a largely benign ecosphere. On paper it’s ruled by a Baron, but in reality the guilds run the place.

Trellwan (Trell I): Originally intended as the administrative center of the Trellshire province, the idea was quickly abandoned due to the backward nature of the planet and the harsh environmental conditions on the surface (some say it was the droll nature of the locals that sealed the deal). At Takari’s urging its defense has been subcontracted to Carlyle’s Commandos, a small, but experienced merc company.

Steelton: Minor Trellshire world on the Periphery border. Cregan's Bluff is the planetary capital of Steelton, which is situated north of the Lear Mountain mining works. This was one of the worlds patrolled by the Katanas – and the site of a Kuritan attack (Academy cadre).

Harvest: Relatively important Kurita-Steiner border world. Under Combine rule for centuries. Close to the Periphery. Site of two major Lancer raids.

Tharkad: Cold and forlorn, it’s also the capital of the Commonwealth.

St. John: Remote Combine world. Run by the ISF as a gulag, but also function as a cover operation for exploring a crashed SLDF vessel.
