−	===Planetary History===
−	====Star League====
−	During the [[Star League]]-era, the Terran Hegemony sent negotiators to work out a compromise during the worst conflict. An argument escalated into a brushfire war on the world with highlanders pitted against lowlanders. Though they worked out a compromise, these tensions affected their defenses from the fall of the Star League until the current time. In [[3012]] for example, raiders met resistance from highlanders and lowlanders, but local politics hampered the command structure and allowed the raiders to inflict millions of C-bills of damage on Paramus.<ref name=DARWp38/>
−	====War of 3039====
−	In the [[War of 3039]], the [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]] and [[Hansen's Roughriders]] landed on Pike IV. They faced a few battalions of armor and a regiment's worth of [[IndustrialMech]]s with jury-rigged weaponry. Though they drove off the militia armor with direct combat, the Lyran forces used artillery to destroy the regiment of armed IndustrialMechs.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 38</ref> The local population had no love for the Lyrans, but didn't really like the Combine either. In any event when the [[Fifth Sword of Light]] and [[Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars]] arrived, the [[LCAF]] units had to fight hard. The LCAF forces put up stiff resistance, and the arrival of the [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]] provided more strength for the Lyrans. The battlefront eventually stabilized and the DCMS troops were in a poor position when two things changed the situation: First the Roughrider's contract expired and they withdrew from the field. The other factor was the arrival of a recall order from the LCAF High Command. Though Pike might've fallen to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the LCAF forces on world retreated.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 84–86</ref>
−	====Jihad====
−	Pike IV was occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]; forces from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]] acting in support of [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] allied coalition assaulted Pike IV in September [[3076]], one of three campaigns fought that month by the combined Clan forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> The Ghost Bears assigned [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Theta Galaxy]] to the attack; Theta was a primarily defensive [[Galaxy]] that had been moved into an offensive role due to the heavy damage other elements of Beta Wave took during an attack on [[Ascella]] the year before. Pike IV was the second attack to be launched by Theta, which had attacked Moore in July 3076; the attack on Moore had gone poorly, with Theta taking heavy casualties that could've been avoided, but the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the [[Seventh Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Phalanx]], which was lost after elements of the [[30th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Thirtieth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] refused to come to the assistance of the Seventh.<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9: "Theta Galaxy"</ref>

−	Pike IV was settled originally for its large amounts of mineral wealth. The scarcity of water and the high atmospheric pressure made colonization difficult, but the sheer amount of ore available made the effort worthwhile. The different conditions in the two main population bands has created a unique society divided into "highlanders" and "lowlanders." The "highlanders" founded their cities in the mountains of Blight and Erubis, the two northern continents. These mountains were lashed by frequent windstorms; to protect their cities the highlanders built thick walls around them. In contrast to the approach taken by the highlanders, the "lowlanders" settled in low-slung sealed buildings that let the less powerful windstorms flow over them. The two very different lifestyles led to an "us vs. them" mentality that led to symbolic fights between the two groups as each tried to maximize their resources. The supercontinent of Karasia, just south of Blight, stretches all the way to the southern pole and claims the majority of the planet's landmass, metal ores, and gemstones.<ref name=DARWp38/>	+	* [[2596]] - [[Terran Hegemony]] <ref name="H:RWp159">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 159, "Inner Sphere - 2596"</ref>

The scarcity of water and the high atmospheric pressure made colonization difficult, but the sheer amount of ore available made the effort worthwhile. The different conditions in the two main population bands has created a unique society divided into "highlanders" and "lowlanders". The "highlanders" founded their cities in the mountains of Blight and Erubis, the two northern continents. These mountains were lashed by frequent windstorms; to protect their cities the highlanders built thick walls around them. In contrast to the approach taken by the highlanders, the "lowlanders" settled in low-slung sealed buildings that let the less powerful windstorms flow over them. The two very different lifestyles led to an "us vs. them" mentality that led to symbolic fights between the two groups as each tried to maximize their resources. During the [[Star League]]-era, the [[Terran Hegemony]] sent negotiators to work out a compromise during the worst conflict. An argument escalated into a brushfire war on the world with highlanders pitted against lowlanders. Though they worked out a compromise, these tensions affected their defenses from the fall of the Star League until the current time. In [[3012]] for example, raiders met resistance from highlanders and lowlanders, but local politics hampered the command structure and allowed the raiders to inflict millions of C-Bills of damage on Paramus. The capital city of the highlanders is Stratopolis, and the capital city of the lowlanders is Rolfshire.<ref name=DARWp35/> In the [[War of 3039]] the [[30th Lyran Guards]] and [[Hanson's Roughriders]] landed on Pike IV. They faced a few battalions of armor and a regiment's worth of [[IndustrialMech]]s with jury-rigged weaponry. Though they drove off the militia armor with direct combat, the Lyran forces used artillery to destroy the regiment of armed IndustrialMechs.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 38</ref> The local population had no love for the Lyrans, but didn't really like the Combine either. In any event when the [[5th Sword of Light]] and [[24th Dieron Regulars]] arrived, the [[LCAF]] units had to fight hard. the LCAF forces put up stiff resistance, and the arrival of the [[17th Skye Rangers]] provided more strength for the Lyrans. The battlefront eventually stabilized and the DCMS troops were in a poor position when two things changed the situation: First the Roughrider's contract expired and they withdrew from the field. The other factor was the arrival of a recall order from the LCAF High Command. Though Pike might've fallen to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the LCAF forces on world retreated.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 84-86</ref> Pike IV was occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]; forces from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]] acting in support of [[Devlin Stone|Devlin Stone's]] allied coalition assaulted Pike IV in September [[3076]], one of three campaigns fought that month by the combined clan forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> ==Nearby Systems== {|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="10" | Systems within 60 light-years (distance in light years)<br> Closest systems first: |- | [[Chaville]] | 10.57 | [[Athenry]] | 10.85 | [[Dyev]] | 16.03 | [[Inglesmond]] | 18.96 | [[Styx]] | 19.39 |- | [[Kervil]] | 20.69 | [[Telos IV]] | 24.82 | [[Lambrecht]] | 25.08 | [[Imbros III]] | 27.39 | [[Asta]] | 29.73 |- | [[Kuzuu]] | 30.25 | [[Dieron]] | 32.29 | [[Saffel]] | 32.83 | [[Nashira]] | 33.15 | [[Deneb Algedi]] | 34.12 |- | [[Nirasaki]] | 34.13 | [[Fomalhaut]] | 34.63 | [[Ascella]] | 35.93 | [[Lone Star]] | 36.12 | [[Altair]] | 36.81 |- | [[Moore]] | 39.29 | [[Ko]] | 42.92 | [[Lyons]] | 43.68 | [[Yorii]] | 46.26 | [[Caph]] | 47.04 |- | [[New Stevens]] | 47.52 | [[Al Na'ir]] | 47.95 | [[Atria]] | 48.59 | [[Miyazaki]] | 49.54 | [[Sabik]] | 50.67 |- | [[Rocky]] | 51.31 | [[Killbourn]] | 51.34 | [[Nai-Stohl]] | 51.79 | [[Quentin]] | 52.73 | [[Kaus Media]] | 53.26 |- | [[Biham]] | 54.29 | [[Northwind]] | 56.09 | [[Lockdale]] | 56.79 | [[Elix]] | 57.33 | [[Ancha]] | 58.42 |- | [[Kaus Australis]] | 58.68 | [[Nusakan]] | 58.97 | [[Terra]] | 59.39 | [[Bryant]] | 59.45 | [[Rigil Kentarus]] | 59.71 |} ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Marik]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[http://home.ifi.uio.no/~oysteint/btech/maps/IS_3130.pdf Map of the Inner Sphere 3130]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' [[Category:Planets|Pike IV]] [[Category: Draconis Combine Planets]] [[Category: Independent Planets]] [[Category: Republic of the Sphere Planets]] [[Category: Terran Hegemony Planets]] [[Category: Word of Blake Planets]]
