Scheat I has basic metal ores in its crust and rich fertile soil. As a result the world's economy is based on exporting aluminum, iron, lumber, and textiles. As one of the border worlds between the Combine and the Terran Hegemony, a small 'Mech repair plant was established on the world. During the Succession Wars the Combine quickly took the world, but raids by other Great Houses destroyed the 'Mech repair facility. With the loss of the 'Mech repair plant and Scheat's moderate agricultural output, Scheat was practically ignored during the Succession Wars.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

First Succession War[edit]

Scheat was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[13] In 2818 Scheat was liberated by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in the third and final major AFFS counteroffensive of the First Succession War against the Draconis Combine. Scheat was one of the last three worlds to be liberated by the Federated Suns.[14]

Dark Age[edit]

Unknown raiders attacked the planet and were initially bested by the Scheat Planetary Guard, which destroyed most of their tanks, until the small BattleMech force consisting of IndustrialMech MODs was attacked by Long Tom Artillery Pieces.[48]

DCMS forces took the planet in June 3135 after engaging and routing elements of the Third Battalion, First Kearny Regiment from Republic Armed Forces.[49]

Notes[edit]

  • The Scheat (Beta Pegasi) system and its fifth planet were described in some detail in the now apocryphal BattleTechnology magazine;[53][54] however, the system description from these stories cannot be reconciled with the description given in the canonical Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130) atlas.
  • The stories Drop Into Hell and A Dagger's Death in BattleTechnology described Scheat as a bloated M-class red giant star, and Scheat V ("Hell") "the only habitable rock" in the system with a gravity of 1.01g. This information seems to be invalidated by later canonical data describing the system as outlined above.
