The planet has several orbital stations, first among them the Sharon habitat with 11,000 souls aboard.<ref name=Robinson_Silenced>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [02/02/3071]: "Robinson Silenced"''</ref>
 
 
===Planetary History===
 
====Colonization and Rise of the Sandoval family====
 
The planet was first settled by colonists during the [[Exodus (2242)|First Terran Exodus]], who were attracted by its rich black soil and pleasant living conditions. The majority of the land's early settlers were farmers who soon discovered the world was rich in mineral and oil deposits. However, off planet corporations seeking to exploit the mineral wealth soon arrived and came into conflict with the farmers, who had already claimed the majority of the planet's available land. The resulting political crisis fueled by conflicts with major mining concerns in the [[Terran Hegemony]] led to the collapse of the planetary government. The Robinson planetary militia commander, [[David Sandoval (23rd c.)|David Sandoval]], stepped forward and took control of the failed government.<ref name=HBDp102/> Declaring himself "[[Lord Protector of Robinson|Lord Protector]]," he seized the foreign companies' assets and lands to stabilize the situation.  He forged a land-reform bill which shifted control of all land transactions to his new government. This resulted in the Sandoval family becoming incredibly rich. Though new policies eventually came into place to weaken this arrangement, the Sandoval family would eventually become the planet's ruling nobility.<ref name=HDTFSp193/>
 
  
====Age of War====
+
== Political Affilation ==
In a deep raid to the planet made by [[DCMS]] forces, its heavy 'Mech [[Battalion]] encountered [[Estevez]] [[Combat Vehicle|tanks]]. The Combine commander was a firm believer in the [[Ares Conventions]] and when he was informed of the forces facing him, he suggested that the combat be fought using simulated munitions. This concession was not enough for the defenders to stop the Combine forces which easily won their objectives, but it saved their lives as after action reports calculated that with live ammunition, not even a full [[Regiment]] of tanks could have stopped the Kuritan forces.<ref>''Era Digest: Age of War'', p. 25: "Estevez MBT"</ref>

== Planetary History ==
With the founding of the Federated Suns, Robinson became one of the five seats of power under House Davion. Robinson became the capital world of the [[Terran March]], one of five Marches within the Federated Suns; the Princes of the Terran March were members of the Leighton family until Prince [[Charles Leighton]] and his family were killed in [[2515]]<ref name="HB:HDp31">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 31: "Council of Regents"</ref> in a raid by the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]].<ref name="HD(TFS)p41">''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 41: "The Regency"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp31A">''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 31–32: "Reign of Terror"</ref> As a result of political maneuverings within the Council of Regents [[General]] [[Nikolai Rostov]], one of the Federated Suns' most celebrated military leaders and serving member of the Council of Regents, was named Prince of the Terran March.<ref name=HB:HDp31/>

=== Colonization & Rise of the Sandoval family ===
 +
The planet was first settled by colonists from the [[Exodus (2242)|First Terran Exodus]], who were attracted by its rich black soil and pleasant living conditions. The majority of the land's early settlers were farmers who soon discovered the world was rich in mineral and oil deposits. However, off planet corporations seeking to exploit the mineral wealth soon arrived and came into conflict with the farmers, who had already claimed the majority of the planet's available land. The resulting political crisis fuelled by conflicts with major mining concerns in the [[Terran Hegemony]] led to the collapse of the planetary government. The Robinson planetary militia commander, [[David Sandoval]], stepped forward and took control of the failed government.<ref name=HBD102/> Declaring himself "Lord Protector", he seized the foreign companies' assets and lands to stabilize the situation. He forged a land-reform bill which shifted control of all land transactions to his new government. This resulted in the Sandoval family becoming incredibly rich. Though new policies eventually came into place to weaken this arrangement, the Sandoval family would eventually become the planet's ruling nobility.<ref name="HD:TFS">''House Davion'' (The Federated Suns)'', "Planet Robinson profile" - settling of the planet and rise of the ruling family.</ref>
  
Nikolai Rostov would continue to serve as Prince and then later as First Marshal while Robinson and the Terran March saw invasions from first the Terran Hegemony and then the Draconis Combine between his election in 2515 and the outbreak of civil war in [[2524]]. Nikolai Rostov led the forces of the Terran March in conjunction with the Draconis March forces led by [[Laura Davion]] on an assault into the [[Capellan March]] in an attempt to remove [[Cassandra Davion]] and [[David Varnay]] from power, sparking the civil war. When Nikolai Rostov was killed in [[Battle of Quittacas (2525)|Battle of Quittacas]], his son [[Dmitri Rostov|Dmitri]] became Prince of the Terran March.<ref name="HB:HDp33">''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 33–34: "Flames of War"</ref>

=== Founding of the Federated Suns & Davion Civil War ===

With the founding of the Federated Suns, Robinson became one of the five seats of power under House Davion.

=== Star League & Succession Wars ===
During the [[Second Succession War]], Robinson was one of a number of worlds [[Battle of Robinson (2840)|assaulted]] by the [[Draconis Combine]] in [[2840]] as part of a Combine plan to freeze AFFS forces in a contested area of the border between the two realms.

During the [[Second Succession War]] Robinnson was a number of worlds assaulted by the [[Draconis Combine]] in [[2840]] as part of a Combine plan to freeze [[AFFS]] forces in a contested area of the border between the two realms. A large raid was sent against Robinson in order to try and draw off Davion forces, but the assult was quickly repeled and haad little effect in misdirecting the [[Federated Suns]] forces. <ref name="HKp66">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 66, "Planet-Hopping and Sunstroke"</ref>
  
During the [[Marathon Offensive]] of [[Miyogi Kurita]] in 2854, the Suns lost Robinson again. On 10 June, the [[Coordinator of Worlds|Coordinator]] led four [[Sword of Light]] regiments and ten support regiments against three defending regiments on the planet. The [[Battle of Robinson (2854)|invasion]] was early decided because the DCMS had attacked [[Kentares IV]] simultaneously, pinning down reserve units otherwise available as reinforcements. Employing nuclear, chemical, and biological attacks this assault became known as the "Rape of Robinson." The AFFS retreated off-world in August [[2858]] and swore to come back.  A [[Battle of Robinson (2858)|counteroffensive]] later in the year failed to reclaim the world for the Suns, though [[Cassandra Davion]] would see action for the first time in that attack while serving as a combat medic.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 25: "The Duke and the Mercenary"</ref>  Another [[Battle of Robinson (2860)|assault]] in [[2860]] likewise failed.<ref name=hdp.75>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 75</ref><ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 74: ""Marathon Offensive" (2854-2858)"</ref><ref name=SSW74>''Second Succession War'', pp. 74–76: "The Marathon Offensive"</ref>

During the [[Marathon Offensive]] of [[Myogi Kurita]] in the 2850s the Suns lost only one world to the [[Draconis Combine]], Robinson, but it was an symbol to the people of the Federated Suns. The Coordinator led 4 of his best 'Mech units ([[Sword of Light]]) against 3 defending Davion 'Mech regiments on the planet. The invasion was early decided because the DCMS had attacked [[Kentares IV]] simultaneously with Robinson and the Federation High Command have no reserve units available as reinforcements. The [[AFFS]] retreated off-world and swore to came back.<ref name=hdp.75>''House Davion (The Fedareted Suns)'', p.75</ref>
  
====Third Succession War====
+
The planet lost portions of its rich soil to heavy mining during this period, limiting its ability to feed itself. However, its exports of raw materials allowed construction of [[DropShip|Dropships]] & [[JumpShip|JumpShips]], making the world wealthy and able to afford food imports.  Following the fall of the [[Star League]], [[House Kurita]] forces invaded and occupied the world for a number of decades. As a result, Robinson suffered a prolonged period of starvation and the destruction of many of its heavy industries. Only in the [[thirty-first century]] has the planet's economic wealth been restored.
Early in the [[Third Succession War]], [[Operation PENDRAGON]] would reclaim Robinson for the Federated Suns.<ref name=SSW74/> In late [[2891]], [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Joseph Davion II]] led the elite [[2nd Avalon Hussars|Second Avalon Hussar]] [[RCT]] in a bold [[Battle of Robinson (2891)|invasion]] of Robinson. While the [[Third Sword of Light]] saw the arriving Davion [[DropShip]]s well in advance, they were not prepared for Joseph's highly risky plan to drop his forces directly into the DCMS troops' midst, expecting a more conventional choice of drop zones. Though initially falling back, the elite Third Sword quickly mounted a counterattack which blunted the Second Avalon's advance, fighting toe-to-toe among the buildings of Robinson's capital city. The fighting would drag on for an entire month; though the Third excelled in small unit actions, coordination between the component parts of the Second's RCT allowed them to win in larger scale operations, with the Combine defense beginning to falter as Taragi ramped up his efforts and ensuring that the DCMS troops on-world received no supplies for an entire month. While fighting with all their skill, eventually the lack of supplies forced the imperiled Third Sword of Light to retreat off-planet to avoid destruction, conceding control of the world to the Federated Suns.<ref name=HKTDC-76>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', pp. 76–77: "The Third Succession War - The Rise of Taragi"</ref><ref name=HDTFS-82>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 82: "Third Succession War - Battle for Robinson"</ref>

By the end of the Succession Wars Robinson was the center of Judaism within the Federated Suns.<ref name=HBD102/>
[[Martin Sandoval]] and his Robinson Rangers entourage built up a sizeable drug and gambling debt with a loan shark off-world. When the lenders tried to collect, Martin ratted them out to his uncle [[Aaron Sandoval (30th c.)|Aaron Sandoval]], who used his political clout to have them arrested by Federated Suns authorities. What they didn't know was that the suppliers and loan sharks belonged to a much larger organization, one that wouldn't stand for a noble feeling he could walk out of his debt, and they placed a sizable bounty on Martin's head.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', "Head Hunting"</ref>
 
  
Sandoval and his friends were stationed under heavy protection on Robinson but the [[Bounty Hunter]] intended to collect. He found an opening when Sandoval's detachment was scheduled to be rotated to a remote outpost toward the base of a large mountain range to conduct training exercises. Due to particular difficulties the Bounty Hunter couldn't get around on his own, he brought a [[mercenary]] unit in on the job, sending two of his team in 'Mechs equipped with advanced [[ECM Suite|electronic countermeasures]] to screen the mercenary lance as they advanced, causing confusion and drawing away the Rangers' main forces while the Hunter approached from the rear. Sandoval and all defending forces were killed; the Hunter wanted to leave no survivors who could implicate his involvement.<ref name=MW5M/>

====War of 3039====

=== Dark Age ===
On 2 April [[3039]], [[Leftenant]] [[Adrian Robertson]] placed a briefcase containing detailed plans for the 16 April invasion of the Draconis Combine which was then stolen in what was intended as a mundane vehicle theft. The AFFS was understandably concerned and a planetwide search for suspected [[ISF]] agents was launched. Almost twenty-four hours after the initial theft, an anonymously phone call was placed to the Robinson City Police Department that the car was located in the city center.  The briefcase had been forced opened, but all contents were there and the thief included a note stating only "I may be a thief, but I am a patriot too. I return this to you, together with my assurance that I have not copied or passed on the information it contains."  Dubbed the Patriotic Thief by the press after the War, they were never identified, and their identity as [[Teagen Reeves]] was known only to her accomplice Lee.<ref>''Be Not Afraid of Greatness''</ref><ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 13: "Thieves and Patriots"</ref>

==Notes==
* The ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'' gives the population of Robinson as 3,428,000,000 in 3025.
+
''[[Handbook: House Davion]]'' lists the years of 2879 and 2891 as the year that Robinson is reclaimed by the Federated Suns. Based on supporting information within the sourcebook, 2891 appears to be the correct year. ''[[House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)]]'' also lists the date as 2891.
