Spectral class | A9III[1][2] |

The Buckminster system was home to at least one habitable world, Buckminster VI, and as at 3145 was the administrative capital of the Buckminster Prefecture of the Benjamin Military District within the Draconis Combine.[3][4]
Contents
System Description
The Buckminster system is located near the Aubisson and Port Moseby systems[5] and consists of a class A9III primary orbited by at least six planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the system zenith jump point.[1][2]
System History
The Buckminster system was settled during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra[6] and by the end of the Age of War Buckminster was a part of the Lyran Commonwealth.[7]
Buckminster VI
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Buckminster VI - more commonly known simply as Buckminster - is the sixth planet in the system and has a single moon named Geodesia.[2]
Planetary History
For most of Buckminster's history it was an agricultural world whose light industry produced agricultural equipment. The products of the world were often sent to the nearby Lyran world of Port Moseby.[1] Buckminster was captured by the Draconis Combine during the First Succession War,[8][9] and after Buckminster was made a Prefecture capital in 3005, the DCMS stationed the Second Sword of Light on the world.[1]
The presence of military forces on the world, and the exercises and training runs that they require, dramatically reduced the productivity of the farmland. This had a bad effect on the local economy. These changes to the world took place in a scant two decades, and the population spawned several covert and overt anti-government groups as a result of the damage inflicted on their world.[1]
The Jihad
The Word of Blake launched an assault on Buckminster during the second week of October 3069; the Blakist ground troops were backed up by a fleet of Pocket WarShips and during the course of their assault shattered several cities on the planet in addition to the defending Seventh Amphigean Light Assault Group.[10] Buckminster was then attacked for a second time by the Word of Blake; the second attack lasted from the 24th to the 30th of April 3070, and was successfully stopped by the defending Delta Regiment of Wolf's Dragoons, although the fierce defence of Buckminster cost the Dragoons greatly.[11]
During the Jihad the Second Sword of Light turned against the Dragon. This disgraceful action increased the ISF presence on Buckminster as the world served as the headquarters of the Second. As of 3079 every level of government and corporate board was being observed and investigated by the Internal Security Force.[2]
