NEW CALEDONIA, Kirchbach Prefecture, Rasalhague District, Draconis Combine

New Caledonia, once a gleaming jewel in the outer reaches of the Commonwealth, became a major battleground during the 2nd War (for no particular reason other than it survived the 1st war relatively intact). In the end the Combine was able to make their claim stick - they simply had the will to stick around despite the casualties and the hardships inflicted upon the civilian population. In no small part this was because of the presence of Hugai Kurita, heir to the then-Coordinator.

Many more civilians died after the end of active combat, as famine mixed with disease to devastate both natives and conquerors with equal abandon. A large group of refugees from other worlds was sent to repopulate the world - which only made the situation worse. To this day there is a deep and bitter enmity between those of Commonwealth stock and those descended from the refugees. And both groups seem to hate their Kuritan overlords.

There are two main areas of population, each with its own garrison of convention and mech forces. THere number of mechs total is thought to be less than a battalion, maybe as little as two companies.
