History
The Chesterton colony was founded by Welsh explorer and wealthy trading fleet magnate Tristam Chesterton. Chesterton becomes part of the Chesterton Trade League in 2193, shortly thereafter merges with the Tikonov Grand Union and ultimately becomes part of the Capellan Confederation.[6]
McCarron's Armored Cavalry was raised by Lord Gamala McCarron on Chesterton in 2930.
By the first Star League the world had been absorbed into the Federated Suns. The near constant attempts by the Capellan Confederation to reclaim the world damaged the planet's infrastructure and made it difficult for the citizens to live there. During the 3030's and 3040's however the peaceful climate in the Inner Sphere and the technology boom made possible by the Helm Memory Core allowed Chesterton to rebuild much of its infrastructure and industrial capacity. By 3067 the mining and pharmaceutical industries on the world had recovered, as had the ranches that produced meat animals.[1]
