Belle Isle
System Information
X:Y Coordinates445.27:-451.75[e]

The Belle Isle system was the location of at least one habitable world and as at 3145 was located in the Calderon Protectorate.[1][2]

System Description

The Belle Isle system is located close to the Carvajal and Franmalin systems.[1][2]

System History

The Belle Isle system was either colonised at some point after the end of the Third Succession War or was an already-settled system that became significant enough during this period for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.[3][4][5]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

When Baron Cham Kithrong elected to create the Calderon Protectorate, four worlds garrisoned by VI Corps formed the basis of the Protectorate. Belle Isle was one of these worlds - and was one of the first worlds to be attacked by TDF forces loyal to the Concordat. The VI Corps elements on Belle Isle were pushed offworld by October 3066.[12]

In 3142 the Protectorate defense manufacturer Protectorate Military Industries opened a satellite facility on Belle Isle; unlike the other PMI facilities, the Belle Isle installation was funded solely by the Protectorate. The Belle Isle facility specialised in the production of ferro-fibrous armor and endo steel, and by 3144 production had expanded to include extra-light fusion engines.[20]
