The Dixie system was the location of at least one habitable world, Dixie I, and as at 3145 was located in the Wolf Empire.[2][3]

System Description

The Dixie system is located close to the Altoona and Hornir's Keep systems[4][5] and consists of a class M9V primary orbited by at least one planet.[1]

System History

The Dixie system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra or shortly after.[6]

Dixie I

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Dixie I - more commonly referred to as Dixie - is the first planet in the system.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

In 2237 Dixie was the last identified location within the Inner Sphere of the group of colonists originally designated as Uhuru Settlement Group Gamma. Uhuru Settlement Group Gamma was a predominantly Muslim group from the North Africa region of Terra intended to be one of a number of groups colonising the Uhuru system, but on receiving word of the massacre of thousands of civilians on Summit during the Outer Reaches Rebellion, the members of the settlement group had persuaded their JumpShip crews to join them in fleeing the Inner Sphere and Terran Alliance oppression. Renaming themselves the Axumite Settlement Group, this group of some one hundred and fifty thousand colonists traded Uhuru-specific seedstocks and items for rations and spare parts before leaving the Uhuru system; when Terran Alliance official spotted the Axumite Settlement Group at Dixie, they launched an effort to intercept the runaway colonists and reclaim their expensive terraforming equipment. This effort was unsuccessful and the Axumite Settlement Group departed for the anti-spinward region of the Deep Periphery, eventually founding the nation known as the Axumite Providence.[7]

The Age of War

In 2427 the Lyran Commonwealth launched another campaign against the Free Worlds League, beginning with landing troops on Bolan. The Lyran forces seized Bolan and dug in, while further attacks captured the League worlds of Dixie and Kamenz, leading the Free Worlds League Parliament to disband the War Powers Act and install Terrence Marik as Captain-General in response.[8]

Star League Era

During the Star League era a Castle Brian was established on Dixie; the subsequent discovery of the existence of this facility was enough to invite an invasion during the Succession Wars.[1]

The Jihad

For most of the Jihad Dixie served as a Lyran Alliance Armed Forces storage depot and launching point for raids into the Free Worlds League.[1] Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN, Marshall Jeremy Brett took command of the local FWLM and launched a counteroffensive, under the name Operation BROKEN FIST. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Dixie was one of the worlds hit and was overrun by the League forces on the 10th of September 3068.[9]

By the end of the Jihad the LAAF had begun repairing the Castle Brian located on Dixie, despite it having been picked clean long before.[1]
