− | Bithinia was best known for | + | Bithinia was best known for its tourist resorts catering to the richest citizens of the Capellan Confederation as well as to foreigners. Resorts were connected by extensive network of MagLev trains. The portion of the 2.3 billion-strong population which wasn't involved in the entertainment industry were largely involved in iron mining, making Bithinia one of most important steel suppliers for the Confederation.<ref name=BT25YoA&Fp133/> |

+ | In [[3012]], members of [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' [[Alpha Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Alpha Regiment]] were on leave on Bithinia when they encountered members of [[McCarron's Armored Cavalry]], also on leave. With grudges between the units since the fighting on [[New Valencia]] and [[Menke]], a large brawl erupted between the two groups. While many believe the rumors of extensive damage were exaggerated, local authorities commented that they were glad the two units did not have access to [[BattleMech]]s. One [[Lieutenant]] [[Jonathan Pelley]] from McCarron's Armored Cavalry admitted to starting the fight after the Dragoons insulted him and his unit.<ref name=WDsp16>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 16: "The Eagle Fails"</ref><ref name=WDsp16a>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 16: "Deadly Enemies"</ref> | ||
− | + | On 17 September [[3022]], the mercenary unit [[Northstar Irregulars]], hired by a [[Free Worlds League]] noble, attacked the planet, attempting to raid a ballistics plant in the city of Bithinia. The Irregulars were fought off by the local reserves primarily, with the local militia chasing a diversion force outside the city.<ref name=HN>''Hornet's Nest</ref> | |

System Description[edit]
Bithinia is located near the Eom and Propus systems[4][5] and consists of a class F7V orbited by at least two planets, and during the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the nadir jump point.[1][2]
System History[edit]
Bithinia was settled during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and joined or was incorporated into the Capellan Commonality prior to the formation of the Capellan Confederation.[6]

Bithinia II, more commonly known simply as Bithinia, is the second planet in the Bithinia system and has three moons named Littorina, Paludina, and Valvata.[1][2]
Planetary History[edit]
Bithinia was best known for its tourist resorts catering to the richest citizens of the Capellan Confederation as well as to foreigners. Resorts were connected by extensive network of MagLev trains. The portion of the 2.3 billion-strong population which wasn't involved in the entertainment industry were largely involved in iron mining, making Bithinia one of most important steel suppliers for the Confederation.[1]
Star League[edit]
During the Star League era Bithinia became associated with the Third Capellan Chargers, a regiment within the Capellan Chargers brigade, who earned the nickname the "Bithinian Stratiotai".[33]
Third Succession War[edit]
In 3012, members of Wolf's Dragoons' Alpha Regiment were on leave on Bithinia when they encountered members of McCarron's Armored Cavalry, also on leave. With grudges between the units since the fighting on New Valencia and Menke, a large brawl erupted between the two groups. While many believe the rumors of extensive damage were exaggerated, local authorities commented that they were glad the two units did not have access to BattleMechs. One Lieutenant Jonathan Pelley from McCarron's Armored Cavalry admitted to starting the fight after the Dragoons insulted him and his unit.[16][34]
On 17 September 3022, the mercenary unit Northstar Irregulars, hired by a Free Worlds League noble, attacked the planet, attempting to raid a ballistics plant in the city of Bithinia. The Irregulars were fought off by the local reserves primarily, with the local militia chasing a diversion force outside the city.[17]
Jihad[edit]
A Duchy RTC was located on Bithinia in 3079. It trained vehicle crews and conventional infantry.[35]
