| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Succession Wars==== | ||
| + | The population of Borghese was self-sustaining, providing its own food crops and famed for its exotic fish export known as the "mermaid" fish. The planet's capital was named Houston, which was also its largest city. As of [[3054]], the majority of the population lived in Houston, while the rest of its population lived in smaller towns and villages. Early settlers had tried to expand their habitats to the oceans of Borghese, however the planet's violent ocean storms made this impractical.<ref name="ME">''Main Event", pp. 196–197: "Jeremiah Rose reviews files regarding Borghese"</ref> | ||
| − | + | {{ApocryphalContentStart}} | |
| + | In mid-[[3026]], [[House Steiner]] attacked a [[Cosby BattleMech and Myomer Research Firm]] facility on [[Kajikazawa]] that was home to "Project Cold Snap," an attempt to develop [['Mech]] [[Myomer]] designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. [[House Kurita|Kurita]]'s [[Internal Security Force]] hired a [[mercenary]] unit to defend the facility and then retaliate by striking a [[Defiance Industries]] armor manufacturing plant on Borghese.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', "Project Cold Snap"</ref> | ||
| + | {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} | ||
| − | == | + | ====Jihad==== |
| − | Clan Wolf attacked and conquered Borghese during the second half of January [[3070]] as one of a series of assaults into Lyran Alliance space, shadowing the path taken by Clan Jade Falcon, who were also using the disruption caused by the [[Jihad]] to annex a number of Lyran worlds.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48 | + | Clan Wolf attacked and conquered Borghese during the second half of January [[3070]] as one of a series of assaults into Lyran Alliance space, shadowing the path taken by Clan Jade Falcon, who were also using the disruption caused by the [[Jihad]] to annex a number of Lyran worlds.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> |
| − | == | + | ====Dark Age==== |
| − | === | + | [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] mounted a raid upon Borghese's Mettle Archipelago in [[3108]] to test the newly designed ''[[Mongrel (BattleMech)|Mongrel]]'' BattleMech. The new machine acquitted itself well and the raid ended in victory for the [[1st Wolf Guardians (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|First Wolf Guardians]] Binary carrying it out.<ref name=TR3145p118>''Technical Readout: 3145'', p. 118</ref> |
| − | |||
| − | + | After Clan Wolf abandoned its Occupation Zone in [[3137]], Borghese was eventually annexed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]].<ref name=ER:3145p39/> | |
| − | |||
| − | === | + | ====IlClan Era==== |
| − | + | When the Falcon Occupation Zone collapsed into anarchy following the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]], Borghese was left effectively independent. Being a self-sufficient world whose populace was pro-Clan, the warrior caste governor resisted the reborn [[Tamar Pact|Tamar Pact's]] overtures and perished along with the garrison when the Pact's military invaded. While the civilian caste council officially, if grudgingly, accepted the change in Borghese's allegiance, the planet was wracked by constant rioting by Clan-born civilians who demanded a return to Clan rule. A change in governor and the Tamar Pact's respect for their customs helped ease anti-government sentiment, and acceptance of their new nation began to take hold amongst Borghese's population.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 27</ref><ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 30</ref><ref>''Tamar Rising'', p. 69</ref> | |

Planetary History[edit]
Succession Wars[edit]
The population of Borghese was self-sustaining, providing its own food crops and famed for its exotic fish export known as the "mermaid" fish. The planet's capital was named Houston, which was also its largest city. As of 3054, the majority of the population lived in Houston, while the rest of its population lived in smaller towns and villages. Early settlers had tried to expand their habitats to the oceans of Borghese, however the planet's violent ocean storms made this impractical.[37]
In mid-3026, House Steiner attacked a Cosby BattleMech and Myomer Research Firm facility on Kajikazawa that was home to "Project Cold Snap," an attempt to develop 'Mech Myomer designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. Kurita's Internal Security Force hired a mercenary unit to defend the facility and then retaliate by striking a Defiance Industries armor manufacturing plant on Borghese.[38]
Jihad[edit]
Clan Wolf attacked and conquered Borghese during the second half of January 3070 as one of a series of assaults into Lyran Alliance space, shadowing the path taken by Clan Jade Falcon, who were also using the disruption caused by the Jihad to annex a number of Lyran worlds.[27]
Dark Age[edit]
Clan Wolf-in-Exile mounted a raid upon Borghese's Mettle Archipelago in 3108 to test the newly designed Mongrel BattleMech. The new machine acquitted itself well and the raid ended in victory for the First Wolf Guardians Binary carrying it out.[39]
After Clan Wolf abandoned its Occupation Zone in 3137, Borghese was eventually annexed by Clan Jade Falcon.[2]
IlClan Era[edit]
When the Falcon Occupation Zone collapsed into anarchy following the Battle of Terra, Borghese was left effectively independent. Being a self-sufficient world whose populace was pro-Clan, the warrior caste governor resisted the reborn Tamar Pact's overtures and perished along with the garrison when the Pact's military invaded. While the civilian caste council officially, if grudgingly, accepted the change in Borghese's allegiance, the planet was wracked by constant rioting by Clan-born civilians who demanded a return to Clan rule. A change in governor and the Tamar Pact's respect for their customs helped ease anti-government sentiment, and acceptance of their new nation began to take hold amongst Borghese's population.[40][41][42]
Military Deployment[edit]
3054[edit]
- Black Thorns (mercenary)[22]
- Borghese Militia[45]
3056[edit]
- Gray Death Legion (Second Battalion)[46]
3062[edit]
Geography[edit]
Borghese is a world of vast salt water oceans. The world is dotted with islands, with a single major continent which is smaller than Terra's continent of Australia.[22]
In the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries High Reward Quest "Project Cold Snap," Borghese is depicted as a glacial ice biome with good visibility.[38]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Houston: the planetary capital and largest city, situated on the southern coast.[22][51]
- Mettle Archipelago: uninhabited island chain in the southern hemisphere[39]
