Brinton IV - 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:LoTv1p95"/>

== Planetary History ==
 +
Brinton was the site of a conflict between the Taurian Concordat and the [[Capellan Confederation]] early in its history. The Capellans detonated a biological weapon on the planet, and even in [[3079]] it continued to kill humans. The output of factories was loaded onto [[DropShip]]s by workers in full NBC gear, and once the DropShip had entered orbit, the cargo spaces were exposed to the vacuum of space to kill any infectious material that may have accidentally been loaded.<ref name=objp4>''Objectives: Periphery'', p. 4</ref>
 +
 +
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" in the system, guarding the various approaches.<ref name="TP1Ep85">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 85, "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 [[3067]] and [[3071]] Brinton was raided by the mercenary-turned-pirate unit [[Dedrickson's Devils]], who then moved on to attack the nearby world of [[Aea]], spreading the deadly Brinton Plague to that world as well; as a result, the Devils' status with the [[MRBC]] changed to kill-on-sight, due to the urgent need to prevent the Plague spreading further, and a bounty of 100,000 [[C-bill]]s was placed on the head of every member of the Devils.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 17, "Dedrickson's Devils"</ref>
 +
 +
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/>

Recharge station(s)Zenith[2]

The Brinton system was home to at least one habitable world, Brinton V, and as at 2767 was the administrative capital of the Brinton Union within the Taurian Concordat.[3]

System Description

The Brinton system is located near the Enkra and Umgard systems[4][3] and consists of a class F2V primary orbited by at least five worlds. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the zenith jump point.[2]

System History

The Brinton system was settled at some point during the Star League era after the end of the Reunification War.[5][6] Brinton was removed from maps during the Third Succession War[7][8] but remained an inhabited system until at least as late as the closing decades of the thirty-first century.[2]

Brinton V

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Brinton IV - more commonly known simply as Brinton - is the fourth planet in the Brinton system and has two moons named Onion and Turnip.[2] 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.[3]

Planetary History

Brinton was the site of a conflict between the Taurian Concordat and the Capellan Confederation early in its history. The Capellans detonated a biological weapon on the planet, and even in 3079 it continued to kill humans. The output of factories was loaded onto DropShips by workers in full NBC gear, and once the DropShip had entered orbit, the cargo spaces were exposed to the vacuum of space to kill any infectious material that may have accidentally been loaded.[9]

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. 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" in the system, guarding the various approaches.[10]

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.[10]

Between 3067 and 3071 Brinton was raided by the mercenary-turned-pirate unit Dedrickson's Devils, who then moved on to attack the nearby world of Aea, spreading the deadly Brinton Plague to that world as well; as a result, the Devils' status with the MRBC changed to kill-on-sight, due to the urgent need to prevent the Plague spreading further, and a bounty of 100,000 C-bills was placed on the head of every member of the Devils.[11]

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.[2]
