X:Y Coordinates | 253.74 : -88.60[e] |
The Arcadia system was the location of at least one garden world and as at 2750 was located in the Markesan Operational Area of the Crucis March within the Federated Suns.[1]

System Description
The Arcadia system is located near Odell and Streator.[1]
System History
The Arcadia system was settled during the First Exodus from Terra.[2] Arcadia was removed from maps during the First Succession War as the system had been abandoned, depopulated or both.[3][4]

Planetary History
Early History
Arcadia was once one of the "garden worlds" of the Crucis March region of the Federated Suns, settled during the early exodus from Earth; even after the Demarcation Declaration of 2243, Arcadia remained a prosperous, peaceful world. While nearby New Avalon was a struggling, strife-ridden world during the birth of the Federated Suns, Arcadia was a world blessed with abundent raw materials, extensive agriculture - fed by the plentiful water available - and a booming industrial economy.[2]
Seventy years after the birth of the Federated Suns, the ruling line of the realm, the Davions, united their world with Arcadia when President Paul Davion of New Avalon married Marge Svensdottar of Arcadia in 2378.[32] It wasn't the last time scions of the Davion family would marry into the Arcadian nobility; Edward Davion married an Arcadian socialite in the early twenty-fifth century[33] - although that wouldn't stop the leader of Arcadia joining the November Conspiracy in 2417 in an attempt to replace Edward with another, more stable ruler.[34]
Succession Wars
Arcadia is no longer a bustling pillar of strength within the Federated Suns; the First Succession War saw the Draconis Combine ravage the Federated Suns, their offensive coming within a single jump of New Avalon... that single jump being measured from Arcadia. The Combine forces never made it any further than Arcadia, as the beleaguered Armed Forces of the Federated Suns rallied to drive the invaders back in a long, slow and brutal campaign... and the fighting on Arcadia was as brutal as any. By the end of the 1st Succession War, Arcadia was a dead world.[35]
The Jihad
Interstellar Expeditions sent an expedition to Arcadia in 3088 to test their theory that Arcadia was Taussen, one of the Hidden Five worlds held by the Word of Blake. The expedition found nothing to indicate that this was the case. All they found were ruins and large zones of radiation.[36]
Notes
It was confirmed by Øystein Tvedten, one of the Catalyst Game Labs BattleTech Developers, that Arcadia died in the First Succession War and was the closest world to New Avalon the DCMS attacked:
“ | Arcadia die due to heavy fighting there during the 1st Succession War. It was as far as the DCMS came in their drive to New Avalon (one jump away). The fighting there wasn't pretty. | ” |
