Elidere IV is the fourth planet in the Elidere system. It's a rather small and drab world, possessing several modest deposits of oil and metals that provide the resources for the planet's metals industry. The largest manufacturer on planet produces agricultural vehicles for the planet's farming industry.<ref name="hd198"/>
 
  
===Planetary History===
+
Elidere IV is the fourth planet in the Elidere system,<ref name="hd198"/> and may have a moon named "Ander's Moon."
 +
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
 +
==Ander's Moon==
 +
The ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 computer game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'', prominently features the world of Ander's Moon in its storyline. Ander's Moon is not mentioned anywhere else. The game features only 145 prominent worlds from the [[BattleTech]] universe on its starmap. The map is slightly warped and the positions of the worlds are often inaccurate, but the location of Ander's Moon corresponds with the position of the Elidere system that is not mentioned in the game. This suggests that Ander's Moon may be a secondary settled world in the Elidere system.
 +
 
 +
Within the game, which is primarily set in the years from [[3024]] through [[3028]], Ander's Moon is described as a mostly agricultural backwater world with fifty million inhabitants. The environment is closer to desert than to jungle.
 +
 
 +
The world was colonized "centuries ago" by the Vandenburg and McBrin families and was rewarded with a dukedom by [[First Prince|Prince]] [[House Davion|Davion]], for the valor of its warriors in the [[Succession Wars (History)|succession wars]]. Upon the death of the old duke, the new duke is elected by the Council of Representatives and anointed with oil from the sacred [[Chalice of Herne]], an ancient artifact from old [[Terra]] that had come to symbolize the office of duke. The title has thus passed between Houses Vandenburg and McBrin over the centuries, creating a bitter rivalry. On March 1, 3024, Duke [[Cameron Vandenburg]]'s castle was assaulted by the [[Dark Wing]] as part of [[Operation INROAD]] and he and his family were killed, save for his son [[Gideon Braver Vandenburg]]. The game puts the player in Gideon's place, tasked with tracking down the Dark Wing and the Chalice of Herne by April 8, 3028.

In [[3022]], [[Hanse Davion]] installed Michael Hasek-Davion as the world's noble ruler after the previous ruling family was wiped out in a [[DropShip]] accident. Located in the Draconis March, the assignment of Hasek-Davion as the ruler, was suspected as a means of reducing his political power. This was backed up by Hanse Davion's request for some of the elite forces of the Capellan March to garrison the world.<ref name="hd198"/>

Ander's Moon is an inhabited body in the Elidere system,<ref name=RGiCv11p10>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 11'', p. 10</ref> though it is unclear if it is identical to the world otherwise known as Elidere IV, or a separated world in the same system.
 
 
 
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
 
The ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 computer game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'' prominently features Ander's Moon in its storyline. The game features a selection of (only) 145 prominent worlds from the [[BattleTech]] universe on its star map, with Ander's Moon in the place of Elidere.
 
 
 
Within the game, which is primarily set in the years from [[3024]] through [[3028]], Ander's Moon is described as a mostly agricultural backwater world with fifty million inhabitants. The environment is closer to desert than to jungle.
 
 
 
The world was colonized "centuries ago" by the Vandenburg and McBrin families and was rewarded with a dukedom by [[First Prince|Prince]] [[House Davion|Davion]], for the valor of its warriors in the [[Succession Wars (History)|succession wars]]. Upon the death of the old duke, the new duke is elected by the Council of Representatives and anointed with oil from the sacred [[Chalice of Herne]], an ancient artifact from old [[Terra]] that had come to symbolize the office of duke. The title has thus passed between Houses Vandenburg and McBrin over the centuries, creating a bitter rivalry. On 1 March 3024, [[Duke of Ander's Moon|Duke]] [[Cameron Vandenburg]]'s castle was assaulted by the [[Dark Wing (Mercenary Command)|Dark Wing]] as part of [[Operation INROAD]] and he and his family were killed, save for his son [[Gideon Braver Vandenburg]]. The game puts the player in Gideon's place, tasked with tracking down the Dark Wing and the Chalice of Herne by 8 April 3028.
