Title(s)Duke of Chesterton

Basil Hargreaves was the Duke of Chesterton in 3145.[1]

History[edit]

His family was granted hereditary stewardship of the Chesterton system as part of the Chesterton Decree of 2840 despite the system being part of the Federated Suns at the time.[2]

In December of 3144, Operation CELESTIAL REWARD saw the capture of Chesterton by the Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry and Second Tikonov Guards from the Federated Suns. The defending Twelfth Vegan Rangers retreated to Ulan Batar rather than face destruction.[3] The capture of Chesterton and surrounding worlds has resulted in the re-formation of the Chesterton Commonality and the reinstatement of the Hargreaves Family as hereditary rulers.[1]

He was the first member of the family to actually sit in the place of his duke-home.
