Revision as of 15:02, 23 January 2015

This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

Note: X and Y are coordinates (light years on XY plane) relative to Terra at (0, 0)

The Alsek system is the location of at least one inhabited planet and as at 3145 was located in the Crucis March region of the Federated Suns.[1][2]
