Diik has three continents named Overland, Netherland, and Northland. These continents are mostly sparsely populated, only Overland (the largest continent) has any large settlements in [[3079]]. The world has mostly attracted independent sorts like hunters, loners, explorers, and trappers, but new colonists are arriving as well.<ref name=OB:Pp13/>

In the wake of the [[Jihad]] the factories on Diik continued to produce [[RetroTech]] [[BattleMech]]s and [[AeroSpace Fighter]]s at a respectable rate; the majority of this production went to the Protectorate's military forces, but the Protectorate also sold excess production to both the [[Fronc Reaches]] and the [[Filtvelt Coalition]]. In addition to the equipment sold to the two nearby Periphery realms, the [[Fiefdom of Randis]] also bought small quantities of the ''[[Star Dagger]]'' for their own local defense forces.<ref name="J:FRp117">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 117, "Calderon Protectorate"</ref>

In [[3105]] the [[mercenary unit]] [[Clean Kill]] arrived covertly on Diik. The Clean Kill were in the employ of the Taurian Concordat at the time, and had arrived clandestinely to conduct raids; for months, the Clean Kill managed to evade detection while striking at Protectorate targets. The Clean Kill were finally tracked down when [[Captain]] [[Jere MalDonaldo]] of the Protectorate military assembled an entire [[regiment]] of [[Battle Armor|battle armor]]-equipped infantry using [[Spectre]] suits manufactured at the nearby Protectorate Arms Conglomerate plant. MalDonaldo passed the location of the Clean Kill to the [[2nd Taurian Pride|Second Taurian Pride]], but then rather than fading out and waiting for the arrival of the Pride, MalDonaldo had his troops infiltrate the Clean Kill encampment and launch a surprise attack.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp4"/>

The opening wave of the attack by the Protecorate forces was very successful, killing the a large part of the Clean Kill's command and support staffs, but as the Clean Kill's defenses tried to react to the sudden attack MalDonaldo was killed by a Clean Kill ''[[Locust]]''. The loss of MalDonaldo shattered the ad hoc Protectorate formation, most of whom were gunned down by the Clean Kill before the Second Taurian Pride arrived and routed the mercenaries.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp4"/>

Planetary Info

Diik has three continents named Overland, Netherland, and Northland. These continents are mostly sparsely populated, only Overland (the largest continent) has any large settlements in 3079. The world has mostly attracted independent sorts like hunters, loners, explorers, and trappers, but new colonists are arriving as well.[1]

Planetary History

When Baron Cham Kithrong led four worlds to form the secessionist Calderon Protectorate in late 3066, Diik remained on the sidelines until Kithrong held a media interview in which he explained his reasons for forming the Protectorate in December of that year. The interview prompted Diik and three neighbouring worlds to join the Protectorate,[13] with the military production factories on the planet becoming an important part in keeping the military of the fledgling Protectorate going.[22]

Jihad

In the wake of the Jihad the factories on Diik continued to produce RetroTech BattleMechs and AeroSpace Fighters at a respectable rate; the majority of this production went to the Protectorate's military forces, but the Protectorate also sold excess production to both the Fronc Reaches and the Filtvelt Coalition. In addition to the equipment sold to the two nearby Periphery realms, the Fiefdom of Randis also bought small quantities of the Star Dagger for their own local defense forces.[23]

Dark Age

In 3105 the mercenary unit Clean Kill arrived covertly on Diik. The Clean Kill were in the employ of the Taurian Concordat at the time, and had arrived clandestinely to conduct raids; for months, the Clean Kill managed to evade detection while striking at Protectorate targets. The Clean Kill were finally tracked down when Captain Jere MalDonaldo of the Protectorate military assembled an entire regiment of battle armor-equipped infantry using Spectre suits manufactured at the nearby Protectorate Arms Conglomerate plant. MalDonaldo passed the location of the Clean Kill to the Second Taurian Pride, but then rather than fading out and waiting for the arrival of the Pride, MalDonaldo had his troops infiltrate the Clean Kill encampment and launch a surprise attack.[24]

The opening wave of the attack by the Protecorate forces was very successful, killing the a large part of the Clean Kill's command and support staffs, but as the Clean Kill's defenses tried to react to the sudden attack MalDonaldo was killed by a Clean Kill Locust. The loss of MalDonaldo shattered the ad hoc Protectorate formation, most of whom were gunned down by the Clean Kill before the Second Taurian Pride arrived and routed the mercenaries.[24]
