Owner History

Planetary History

During the Succession Wars, Botany Bay was engaged in at least some trade with the Inner Sphere; the crew of the Merchant-class JumpShip Winnetka were hauling Industrial Sand from Botany Bay in 3024 when they discovered a large Star League supply base on an uninhabited Periphery world.[31]

Clan Jade Falcon conquered Botany Bay during the opening stages of Operation Revival, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere. Botany Bay was then invaded for a second time in mid-3071, when forces from Clan Ice Hellion captured the world from the Falcons as part of an invasion of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.[21][22] The Ice Hellions were only able to hold Botany Bay until December, however, when the world was assaulted by Clan Hell's Horses.[22][32]

Under the Clan administration, the world prospered. In 3083 the world Ferris rebelled against Clan Hell's Horses, and this action led the Horses to withdraw from many of their Periphery holdings, including Botany Bay. Though Botany Bay and its neighbors (Gotterdammerung and Last Chance) were marginal worlds at best, by joining together they were able to survive. They formed the Ragnarok Union and opened trade links with Clan Jade Falcon on Erewhon and Lackhove.[33]
