Planetary History

This system appears only on one map in Handbook: Major Periphery States and was a part of the Traders Domain region of the Outworlds Alliance as of 2750.[1]

As of 3061 was is still inhabited, apparently as an independent world, and noted to be a popular raiding target although no attack had been successful for a decade. The world was defended by the Barahona Defense Force which did field at least one BattleMech lance as well as hovertanks and helicopters. On 15 August 3061 they fought a raiding party from nearby Sorsk to a draw.[2]

Barahona was described as a "water-rich" and (as of 3061) sparsely populated world. There are few communities, with over 90% of the population on one continent. Pirate groups have been known to linger in the planet's wilds, but there are too few resources for them to remain there for long.[3]
