Planetary Info
One of the first colonies founded, Lipton was a unique combination of old and new. Though capable of supporting light industry, Lipton's population preferred to make their money via trading. This allowed them to maintain their "frontier" mentality and lifestyle. During the Outer Reaches Rebellion Lipton didn't fight or contribute money to those worlds that did. Rather they used passive resistance to show their desire to leave the Terran Alliance.[1] Alliance militia battalions on Lipton refused to board their transports when called up to fight during the rebellion, fleeing into the hinterlands of Lipton before they could be arrested.[2] Despite being a part of the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony following the Reunification War,[4] that frontier mentality and pride in their own self-sufficiency stayed with them throughout their time in the Star League and during their time as part of the Isle of Skye. In fact, during the FedCom Civil War, Lipton's people sided with the Free Skye Movement.[1]
It wasn't until the Jihad that the Liptoners had their illusions shattered. Mercenaries employed by the Word of Blake raided the world, destroying both the main base used by the 4th Alliance Guards and several industrial complexes. The destruction of these factories sent the world's economy into depression, and the lack of trade during the Jihad further damaged Lipton's economy.[1]
Lipton was subsequently incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and in 3076 the Word of Blake deployed the 1st Lipton Protectorate Militia Division to Dyev as part of a counterassault against invading forces from Clan Ghost Bear. The apparent destruction of the various Divisions the Word of Blake had assembled on Dyev[30] doubtlessly aided the allied coalition forces operating on the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR, as forces led by Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner struck at Lipton in November 3077, quick crushing any resistance on the planet.[31]
It wasn't until the Republic of the Sphere took control of Lipton that sufficient funds were found to allow Lipton to recover. In fact, one of the largest employers is Redstorm Fashions, Limited, a textile manufacturer owned by the planetary governor. These textile exports are well on the way to rebuilding Lipton's economy.[1]
