−	Betelgeuse was Andurien's prime target during its war with the Confederation, and House Kamata formed the most significant part of the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] on the planet. The [[First Defenders of Andurien]], Andurien's premiere formation, attacked the world in the opening stages of the conflict, arriving on Betelgeuse in December [[3030]]. The Andurien forces were reluctant to engage the Warrior House troops, preferring to attack the planet's Home Guard, but in late December, House Kamata attacked the First Defenders' rear, inflicting heavy casualties.<ref name=HBWp58>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 58</ref> The arrival of the mercenary [[Tooth of Ymir]] in February of [[3031]] reinforced the Andurien position, but House Kamata refused to give in. In July, [[Warrior House Hiritsu]] landed on Betelgeuse and staged a risky attack on top of the Andurien positions, destroying much of the invaders' supply caches. The Andurien forces abandoned hunting for the Kamata warriors in favor of attacking the scattered Hiritsus.<ref name=HBWp60>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 60</ref> Nevertheless, the fight was a stalemate, and only the arrival of all five regiments of the [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] in May finally drove the Andurien forces from the planet.<ref name=HBWp63>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 63</ref>

Coveted by [[House Marik]] and especially Dame [[Catherine Humphreys]] of [[Andurien]] it was often the target of raids throughout its history, but remained firmly in [[Liao]] hands. Betelgeuse was home to [[Warrior House#House Kamata|Warrior House Kamata]] who vigorously guarded the weapon factories on the planet.{{cn}} Up until the [[Fourth Succession War]], over 20 different firms on Betelgeuse's northern hemisphere used to produce the greater part of all Capellan luxury goods and consumer goods. However, they were closed down after the war when the Capellans channeled all their resources into military production. Betelgeuse was an important manufacturer of heavy tanks and [[BattleMech]] parts. During the [[Jihad]] the Chancellor sponsored the construction of a new Hellespont Industrials plant on Betelgeuse.<ref>''Objectives: Capellan Confederation'', p. 4</ref> A raiding party consisting of forces from both [[Andurien]] and [[Zion]] struck at Betelgeuse during the second week of November [[3069]].<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> == Political Affiliation == * [[2271]] - No record <ref name="HB:HMp16">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 16, "Free Worlds League Founding [2271]"</ref> * [[2571]] - No record <ref name="HB:HLp25">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 25, "Capellan Confederation after Age of War [2571]"</ref> * [[2596]] - No record <ref name="H:RWp159">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 159, "Inner Sphere - 2596"</ref> * [[2750]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="ER:2750p37">''Era Report: 2750'', p. 37, "Inner Sphere - 2750"</ref> * [[2765]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="H:LoTv1p11">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 11, "Inner Sphere - 2765"</ref> * [[2822]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp31">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 31, "Capellan Confederation after First Succession War [2822]"</ref> * [[2864]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp39">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 39, "Capellan Confederation after Second Succession War [2864]"</ref> * [[3025]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp40">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 40, "Capellan Confederation after Third Succession War [3025]"</ref> * [[3030]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp49">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 49, "Capellan Confederation after Fourth Succession War [3030]"</ref> * [[3040]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 133, "Inner Sphere - 3040"</ref> * [[3050]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 11, Inner Sphere [3050] Map</ref> * [[3052]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 23, Inner Sphere [3052] Map</ref> * [[3057]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 11, Inner Sphere [3057] Map</ref> * [[3058]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp60">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 60, "Capellan Confederation after Operation Guerrero [3058]"</ref> * [[3063]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 29, Inner Sphere [3063] Map</ref> * [[3067]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="HB:HLp68">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 68, "Capellan Confederation after FedCom Civil War [3067]"</ref> * [[3075]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 65, Inner Sphere [3075] Map</ref> * [[3079]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 21, "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Map - August 3079"</ref> * [[3081]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 63, "Inner Sphere Map - [March 3081]"</ref> * [[3085]] - Capellan Confederation <ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 127, "Inner Sphere Map - [October 3085]"</ref> * [[3130]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name="MOTIS3130">''Map of the Inner Sphere 3130''</ref> * [[3135]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name=ER:3145p11>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 11, "Inner Sphere Map - [3135]"</ref> * [[3145]] - Capellan Confederation <ref name=ER:3145p39>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 39, "Inner Sphere Map - [3145]"</ref><ref name="FM:3145pVI">''Field Manual: 3145'', p.

As such, it is unlikely that it would have two or more planets, and even more unlikely that its second planet could be colonized by humans. Some scientists believe that Betelgeuse will go supernova within the next 1000 years, i.e. before the storyline of ''Classic BattleTech''. The spectral class given for the star in BattleTech sources (M2 I) is correct and corresponds with real-life sources. * Betelgeuse is alternatively spelled Betelgeu''z''e, Bete''i''geuze or Bete''i''geu''s''e. == Nearby Systems == {|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Systems within 60 light-years (distance in light years)<br> Closest systems first: |- | [[Sigma Mare]] | 8.1 | [[Latice]] | 14.1 | [[Conquista]] | 15.3 | [[Nukus]] | 15.7 |- | [[Kasdach]] | 16.4 | [[Dì-fang]] | 18.0 | [[Palladaine]] | 20.9 | [[Dicon]] | 23.4 |- | [[Shiba]] | 24.9 | [[Brest]] | 25.3 | [[Wright]] | 26.2 | [[Jungar Qi]] | 26.9 |- | [[Aomen]] | 29.4 | [[Pell]] | 29.9 | [[Ito]] | 31.4 | [[Westerhand]] | 32.8 |- | [[Lurgatan]] | 35.3 | [[Primus (system)|Primus]] | 36.3 | [[Shiro III]] | 36.7 | [[Sumy]] | 36.8 |- | [[Ullieri]] | 37.1 | [[Buenos Aires]] | 37.2 | [[Nihal]] | 38.5 | [[Furud]] | 38.5 |- | [[Prix]] | 39.0 | [[Raphael]] | 40.4 | [[Scarborough]] | 40.8 | [[Housekarle]] | 40.8 |- | [[Grand Base]] | 41.1 | [[Amu Darya]] | 41.8 | [[Sadurni]] | 42.8 | [[Niomede]] | 43.0 |- | [[Claxton]] | 43.8 | [[Altorra]] | 44.2 | [[Andurien]] | 47.7 | [[Carmen]] | 48.1 |- | [[Lopez]] | 49.4 | [[Barras]] | 49.7 | [[Principia]] | 51.3 | [[Burl]] | 52.1 |- | [[Kujari]] | 52.4 | [[Konopiste]] | 54.1 | [[Castrovia]] | 54.9 | [[Sendalor]] | 55.2 |- | [[Kurvasa]] | 56.1 | [[Florarda]] | 56.5 | [[Fronde]] | 56.5 | [[Decatur]] | 56.7 |- | [[Homestead]] | 57.2 | [[Athna]] | 57.6 | [[Zanzor]] | 57.6 | [[Wallacia]] | 58.8 |- | [[Rosendal]] | 59.3 | [[Holloway]] | 59.5 | [[Toch Zu]] | 59.5 | | |- |} == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Report: CCAF]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Liao]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Marik]]'' * ''[[Historical: Brush Wars]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[http://home.ifi.uio.no/~oysteint/btech/maps/IS_3130.pdf Map of the Inner Sphere 3130]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Objectives: Capellan Confederation]]'' [[Category:Planets|Betelgeuse]] [[Category: Capellan Confederation Planets]]
