Brinton V, more commonly known simply as Brinton, is the fourth planet in the Brinton system and has two moons named Onion and Turnip.<ref name=OB:Pp4/> Brinton served as the administrative capital of the Brinton Union during the Star League era; one of four Unions that comprised the Taurian Concordat, the Brinton Union was the farthest anti-spinward of the four and consisted of eleven systems at its most populous.<ref name="H:LoTv1p96"/>

The Scourge virus can be found in lethal quantities over 85% of the planet's air and water supply. It attacks the human nervous system, producing dementia and extreme paranoia. The virus is also known to cause severe brain damage and eventual death within 36 to 48 hours of the first signs of infection. Although in the decades since its introduction to the ecosystem, natives of Brinton have become resistant to the plague; tests conducted in the early 3020's confirmed that nearly four of every five citizens are carriers of the virus.<ref name=BSUQ/>

In [[3025]], Brinton was home to some fifty-five thousand technicians and other specialists and was a major electronics manufacturing and production center for the Taurian Concordat. The industries on Brinton made the cool, temperate world a popular target for raids and attacks and it was sacked several times during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. The tempo of the attacks increased as the [[Third Succession War]] drew to a close, and the [[Taurian Defense Force]] maintained a standing garrison consisting of a [[battalion]] of militia infantry and two [[companies]] of [[BattleMechs]] to guard the planet. The Concordat also maintained a contingent of several large "WarShips" (an ''[[Avenger]]'' and two ''[[Leopard CV]]'' Dropships filled with [[aerospace fighters]]) in the system, guarding the various approaches and each jump point.<ref name=TP1Ep85/><ref name=OR156>''Objective Raids'', p. 156: "Brinton"</ref>

The Concordat maintained strict quotas on the number of foreigners allowed on Brinton at any one time, a quota that even applied to [[ComStar]]; although Brinton had a Class C [[HPG]] on Brinton, only one hundred ComStar personnel were allowed on the planet at any one time. Anyone who violated the restrictions on visiting Brinton was treated as being either a saboteur or spy. Despite these restrictions the government of Brinton traded freely with a number of commercial concerns located outside the Concordat.<ref name=TP1Ep85/>

Between 3030 and 3040 elements of the pirate band [[Calderon's Commando]] grounded 200 km away from the main factory complex after their [[DropShip]] suffered heavy damage from the planetary blockade. The [[Walla Walla]] was subsequently destroyed on the ground after its crew and passengers began exhibiting signs of the Scourge.<ref name=BSUQ/>

In contrast with the reports of only fifty-five thousand people living on Brinton in the 3020s, reports made in 3079 put the planetary population at close to twenty-three million people, and the local militia forces had increased from two BattleMech companies and a militia infantry battalion to an aerospace regiment and a regiment of well-trained infantry, including a company of [[battle armor]] infantry. Despite not being recorded on maps, Brinton remained famous for its computer industry.<ref name=OB:Pp4/>
