Owner History

Planetary Overview

It was noted as early as the 25th century that the native dialect on Chisholm was a particularly difficult dialect to speak. This dialect, referred to as Chisholian, has resulted in the embarassment of at least one Capellan Chancellor.[16]

Planet History

Elgin was originally founded as the planet Chisholm by wealthy nonconformists in the late 2100s,[7] and formed a part of various states beginning with the Nanking Collective, then the Chisholm Protectorate,[17] before becoming a part of the Chisholm Province within the Tikonov Grand Union.[18]

When the Terran Alliance commissioned the Grand Alliance Survey of Populated Worlds in 2235 it was noted that Chisholm didn't consider itself to be even nominally under the authority of the Terran Alliance.[7] However, despite the Tikonov Grand Union fighting a war with the Terran Hegemony over attempts to annex the Chisholm Province, once captured Chisholm would remain a part of the Terran Hegemony until the fall of the Star League.[19]

Chisholm was renamed Elgin in honour of Captain Edward T. Elgin in 2878, after he successfully defended the planet against forces from the Free Worlds League.[20]

During the Jihad Elgin was annexed by the Word of Blake, and was in turn targeted for liberation by the allied coalition in January 3078 as a part of Operation SCOUR. Forces from the Free Worlds League Group II fought a bitter conflict with the defending 1st Elgin Protectorate Militia Division. The fight only ended when the Division commander was killed,[6][14] leaving the coalition forces - believed to be the 7th Pesht Regulars,[21] Com Guard 5th Army[22] and the Home Guard[23] - in possession of Elgin.
