Owner History

Planetary History

Broken Wheel was part of the Federated Suns from the Age of War until the Jihad. When the Filtvelt Coalition formed, Broken Wheel joined in order to present a united front against pirates active in the Malagrotta Cooperative. The Coalition eagerly accepted Broken Wheel's application for admission in order to get control of a vehicle repair facility.[1]

In late 3080 or early 3081 the Filtvelt Coalition upgraded the Quickscell Company repair facility on Broken Wheel to enable it to produce hovercraft as a part of a general expansion of the Coalition's military manufacturing.[28]

The Dark Age

Broken Wheel was struck by the Border Lords pirate band in 3101, soon after the Border Lords had fled the Calderon Protectorate in search of easier hunting. The Border Lords dropped a mixed battalion of BattleMechs, infantry and armor on Broken Wheel and rampaged through Conestoga while moving towards the Quikscell Company facility nearby. Opposing the Border Lords were elements of the Second Filtvelt Citizens Militia, who began firing on the Border Lords while the pirates were still in Conestoga. The Second had a company of HD-2F Hound 'Mechs available, augmented by a mixture of Pegasus Scout Hovertanks and Light Thunderbolt Carriers manufactured on Broken Wheel.[29]

The Second had detailed knowledge of the layout of Conestoga and used the tight and twisting streets to their advantage; the city streets limited the mobility of the Border Lords, who were primarily equipped with light and medium 'Mechs, and the Second continually used their Hounds to ambush the Border Lords or lay down fire lanes. The pirates found themselves steadily losing 'Mechs; then, when the Border Lords tried to retreat, the Second cut them off, pinning the pirates in place long enough for the Hounds to wipe out the enemy infantry and armor units. Roughly half of the pirate 'Mechs managed to escape offworld without any of the materiel they'd hoped to capture.[29]
