System Information | |
X:Y Coordinates | −269.75 : −465.071[e] |
The Ballad system was home to at least one habitable world and as of 3145 was an independent system on the border of the Magistracy of Canopus.[1][2]
Contents
System Description[edit]
The Ballad II system is located near the Cresson and Durabon systems.[3][4][5]
System History[edit]
The Ballad II system was either colonized by the Magistracy of Canopus during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War, or it was an already-settled system that joined the Magistracy during this era and became significant enough for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.[3][4][5]

Planetary History[edit]
Star League era[edit]
During the Star League era Ballad II was the provincial capital of the Ballad Province of the Magistracy of Canopus.[8]
The Dark Age[edit]
Majesty Metals and Manufacturing underwent rapid and pronounced growth in the Dark Age, booming alongside the rest of the Magistracy economy in the thirty-second century. MMM benefited from the money pouring into the Magistracy from the Capellan Confederation and Duchy of Andurien, opening two new manufacturing plants, one located on Luxen and another on Ballad II. The Ballad plant, constructed in the 3090s, manufactured both BattleMechs and armor, but experienced a sharp drop in production when Ballad declared itself independent.[29]
Ballad II was raided by a slaver operation from the Marian Hegemony in 3144 or just before; the slavers abducted over a thousand people, prompting the Magistracy Armed Forces to dispatch the First Magistracy Highlanders on a series of punitive deep raids into the Hegemony. The Highlanders spent almost a year working independently, smashing the slaver operation on Baccalieu and recovering all of the abducted citizens.[30]
Military Deployment[edit]
3079[edit]
- - At this point in time, the Second Canopian Fusiliers were deployed across Ballad II and Weistheimer. The 2nd was at 70% of full strength.
Companies and Industries[edit]
