Planetary Overview

Brisbane is a plush water world rich in fresh-water marine life. More than eighty percent of the landmass on Brisbane is represented in small island chains and archipelagos.[26]

Brisbane was also home to the Brisbane Virus, a degenerative nerve disease without a known cure. [27]

Planetary History

Brisbane was located in the border region between the Magistracy of Canopus and the Taurian Concordat, a region where the boundaries between nations were less than clearly defined. The abundant reserves of sea life and quantities of water purification plants that had survived the first three Succession Wars made Brisbane a prized Taurian world and the scene of numerous clashes between Taurian, Magistracy and independent forces, particularly during the early thirty-first century.[26]

The unusual geography of Brisbane led to the Taurian Defense Force coming up with unorthodox methods for defending the world; a garrison of Battlemechs and infantry protected the main planetary starport, located in the northern archipelago, while the only Taurian sea-going naval contingent in the Concordat was also located on the planet.[26]
