Planetary Info
Carver V was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the Outer Reaches Rebellion and the Demarcation Declaration of 2242,[1] and became one of the worlds within the Alliance Core region of the Terran Hegemony.[2]
As 87 percent of Carver V's surface is covered in water, it quickly became an important world for the Terran Hegemony as a means to supply drier worlds with water. It was also close to the border of the Capellan Confederation, prompting the government to build fortifications to defend the world. However, due to the aquatic nature of Caver V, typical facilities would not work, requiring the construction of a purpose-built base. In 2402 construction on the Quantico Marine Fortification began. Based on one of the planet's largest island, Quantico consisted of a series of fortified naval bases to launch submarines and other blue-water ships. The island was also home to two spaceports, El Toro and Baku. Connected through a series of underground tunnels was an extensive network of weapons towers completely surrounding the island.[3]
With the formation of the Star League, Carver V would become the home of the Star League Marine Corps. Quantico become the Corps' administrative and training center, with its main headquarters located in Camp Pendleton outside the city of Bellacqu. A small island near Quantico was renamed Paris Island and turned into a bootcamp.[3]
During the Amaris Civil War, the three CAAN regiments based on Carver V became the stuff of legends in their defense against the Rim Worlds Republic Military. The Marines held off countless Republican assaults for six years, nearly running out of food and ammo until the Eridani Light Horse fought through the blockade to deliver supplies. They would finally be relieved by General Aleksandr Kerensky in 2773.[3]

Notes
- Carver V was the backdrop for the MechCommander 2 computer game, in which the player controls a group of mercenaries fighting for the various interests on the planet (circa 3063 during the FedCom Civil War). At the very end of the game, the planet is renamed Liberty by the indigenous people. [17]
