Planetary Info

Amity joined the Free Worlds League in 2335. For most of the first 450 years it was a peaceful world that had a great deal of industrial capacity. In fact the variety of produced goods ranged from the Galleon light tank to recording studio equipment and musical instruments. After the start of the Succession Wars however, Amity's fortunes changed. By 3025 the world had been raided no less than 23 times and actually been captured by the Lyran Commonwealth twice. These successive raids and occupation by a foreign power destroyed most of the industrial capability of the planet. This in turn led to a planet-wide economic recession. Fortunately for Amity, in 2863 Captain-General Phillipa Marik sent a team of engineers and scientists to Amity to help the population rebuild the industrial capability. This resulted in a dramatic improvement in the quality of life of the average Amity citizen.[1]

Amity was one of the worlds to sign the Concord of Danais in 2966 joining the Silver Hawks[34] (a coalition of independent worlds in the Free Worlds League).

Amity is also noteworthy as the home of Sir Charles Smith, a member of Parliament who called for peace between the Free Worlds League and the Lyran Commonwealth. He wrote a book, The Amity Initiative, that found widespread circulation in the Commonwealth and Federated Suns. He also led the negotiations that resulted in a peace treaty between Amity and the Lyran world Rahne.[35]

Named cities on Amity include Freewheel, Oxbridge, Ruhr and the island megalopolis of Stryker.[1]

In response to the recent raids and assaults on worlds within the Word of Blake Protectorate, the Blakists launch raiding parties against various worlds around the Protectorate border in early September 3076. Making use of weapons of mass destruction to augment the damage inflicting, the raiding parties - few of which were larger than a single Level III struck at the worlds of Algorab, Alnasi, Amity, Bordon, Connaught, Hunan, Kessel, New Hessen, New Kyoto, Ronel, St. Andre, Styk, Tsitsang and Wei. Of the worlds hit, the Capellan Confederation took the brunt of the fighting.[36][37]

Apocryphal planetary information

The (apocryphal) German BattleTech novel Phoenix is set on Amity for the greater part, narrating the exploits of a mercenary unit defending Amity against a Lyran assault in 3033. The book does not provide a map, but includes a number of tidbits about the world:

  • Ice world with a climate and landscape similar to Tharkad. It is very cold and stormy, with frequent blizzards at typically around -50 centigrades, so that it is extremely difficult to operate aerospace fighters (the narrative is set in January 3033, but it is described as Summer on Amity)
  • At least 3 spaceports besides Freewheel; one spaceport near Ruhr
  • Named places: Lee-Glacier, Sheridan mountains, Grant mountains (with Mt. Franklin the highest mountain there until it broke up in the 2700s, giving rise to a local legend)
