== Planetary Info ==
'''Hunter's Paradise''' is an isolated Periphery world located approximately 110 light years [[anti-spinward]] of the Rim Collection.  Though devoid of mineral resources, the planet is home to a great diversity of predatory wildlife, attracting dangerous game hunters and thrill-seekers.<ref name=TP2Edp93>''The Periphery, 2nd Edition (sourcebook)'', p. 93, "Hunter's Paradise"</ref>

==Planetary History==
Hunter's Paradise is a unique [[Star League]] relic.  While searching for mining prospects, an exploration vessel discovered a world largely devoid of mineral resources, but teeming with predatory animals, some able to overwhelm a [[BattleMech]].  With beautiful skies and fresh air, the planet became a successful destination for well-equipped big game hunters and wealthy game keepers.  Visitors to the world arrived in orbit around the planet, where [[Dropship|DropShips]] would ferry customers to the surface; surface settlements were short-lived and impractical.<ref name=TP2Edp93/>

Hunter's Paradise prospered for several decades.  However, business diminished when trouble began in the Periphery.  Ultimately the resort closed shortly after the collapse of the [[Star League]], and the space station was abandoned and forgotten.<ref name=TP2Edp93/>

Rim Collection scouts rediscovered Hunter's Paradise and its abandoned jump station in the mid-[[thirty-first century]].  President [[James Moroney]] attempted to restore the resort and colony, but without outside backing, the Rim Collection lacked the means; Hunter's Paradise resumed exporting dangerous game only, primarily to the [[Lyran Alliance]].<ref name=TP2Edp93/>

=== The Dark Age ===
The nearby Rim Collection formally claimed Hunter's Paradise in 3099, backing that claim up with a [[company]] from [[Able's Aces]]. The Collection invested heavily in Hunter's Paradise, constructing a recharge station at the zenith jump point and settling the nearby system of [[Able's Glory]] to provide a base for servicing transitting [[JumpShip]]s and providing security for travelling researchers. These measures plunged the Collection deeply into debt, prompting the worlds of [[Caldarium]] and [[Slewis]] to secede from the Collection, but proved to be an economic boon in the longer term.<ref name="FM:3145p187">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 187, "Rim Collection"</ref>
