The '''Andarmax''' system is the location of at least one habitable world or construct, and as at [[3145]] was located in the [[Victoria Commonality]] of the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name=ER:3145p39>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 39, "Inner Sphere Map - [3145]"</ref><ref name="FM:3145pVI">''Field Manual: 3145'', p.

__TOC__

== System Description ==
The Andarmax system is located near the [[Espia]] and [[Sax]] systems.<ref name="ER:2750p37"/>

{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
The Andarmax system is described in some detail in the ([[apocryphal]]) German novel ''[[Gier]]'', where Andarmax is portrayed as not a single planet, but a gas giant with three dozen moons orbiting it. Inhabited moons include (but are not necessarily limited to) Laßwitz, Brin, Clark, Asimov, Eschbach, Gibson, Bear, Vance, Dick and Heinlein. The latter, although one of Andarmax's smallest moons, holds the government seat and the [[ComStar]] temple. The moons have low gravity conditions, but are heavily terraformed including atmosphere generators to the point of featuring open environments. Vance is mentioned as an agricultural moon.

Mining stations, Hyperion station among them, exist in the gas giant's atmosphere to mine valuable inert gas.

Because of being spread across many moons, the system features a heavily used communication network accessible to everybody, at no cost. This network is used for political decision-making, as citizens can make suggestions and vote on issues, even provide input. The [[Refrector]] is also elected (and can be ousted from office) in this way.

== System History ==
The Andarmax system was settled during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]].<ref name="H:RWp159"/><ref name="ER:2750p37"/>

== Planetary History ==
Andarmax was conquered by the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] during the joint invasion of the Capellan Confederation launched by the Magistracy and the [[Duchy of Andurien]] shortly after the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Colonel Centrella had led the [[Second Canopian Cuirassiers]] in a swift assault that saw the Andarmax Planetary Militia wiped out with very few casualties on the part of the Canopians. A year later in [[3034]], the Capellans were waging a successful counterattack against the invading forces. With the Second Canopian Cuirassiers having moved on to [[Drozan]], Andarmax was defended by a [[battalion]] of armor - the [[Second Magistracy Armed Forces Militia Armor Guard]] - and a mercenary unit, the [[Killer Bees]], hired as a cadre unit to provide training.<ref name="Com"/>

Citing a clause in their cadre contract, the Killer Bees withdrew from Andarmax in the face of a battalion of [[Rob's Renegades]], a heavy [[BattleMech]] formation, which had landed to recapture the planet. The Militia Armor Guard refused to withdraw, despite being equipped with just two [[platoon]]s of [[VTOL]]s and a mix of tanks and mobile artillery. The Militia Armored Guard deployed remote sensors throughout the Alamance Wastes, their fallback position, and intended to fight until reinforcements could arrive to support them. By the 13th of August the Second MAF Armor Guard had already taken heavy losses in the Alamance Mountains and were in retreat, whilst the Killer Bees had received word on their outbound DropShips that no support was available for the Armor Guard as [[Kincade's Rangers]] and [[House Dai Da Chi]] had hit the Second Cuirassiers hard on Drozan and forced them to retreat.<ref name="Com"/>
