During General Kerensky's Exodus from the Inner Sphere, Union-class DropShips belonging to the Star League Defense Force's Sixth Army, 309th Royal BattleMech Division attempted to link up with the Exodus fleet but were shot down in low orbit on Claxton. Aside from external damage from impact, most of the ships' contents were unharmed in the crash. Two centuries later, there was noticeable evidence of salvaging and several facilities and large structures were constructed in the vicinity, despite the system's charts showing the remote volcanic region was supposed to be uninhabited. By this time, everything was under the control of the Church of Kali.[27]

One of their disciples, Aditi Whidbey, became deranged and attempted to speed up the process of achieving some of the church's goals and began to mercilessly butcher civilians in the Sendalor system, attracting unwanted outside attention. The church did not want to get personally involved in apprehending Whidbey because it would have meant exposing their SLDF armament, so they made the difficult decision to hire a reputable mercenary outfit to deal with the matter quickly and quietly. After repelling Whidbey's forces away from Sendalor, the mercenaries chased her to bases on Housekarle and Grand Base before eventually confronting her on Claxton. Making their last stand there, Whidbey and her remaining followers were ultimately defeated among the ruins of the 200-year-old SLDF DropShips.[27]

Geography[edit]

In the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries High Reward Quest "Hazing of the Weak," Claxton is depicted as a volcanic biome with poor visibility.[27]
