Spectral classA7V[1]

The Erewhon system is the location of at least one inhabited world, Erewhon V, and as at 3145 was located in the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.[2][3]

System Description

The Erewhon system is located near the Gotterdammerung and Lackhove systems[4][5] and consists of a class A7V primary orbited by at least five planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the system zenith jump point.[1]

System History

The Erewhon system was either settled by the Rim Worlds Republic during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War,[6][4][5] or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this era for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.

Erewhon V

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Erewhon V - more commonly known simply as Erewhon - is the fifth planet in the system.[1]

Planetary History

Predominantly known for its wool and sheep herding, Erewhon was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during Operation REVIVAL, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere; as one of the worlds of the Greater Valkyrate, Erewhon was one of the earlier worlds to be captured. An Elemental Binary from the 4th Falcon Talon was sent to fight the Erewhon Militia entrenched in the capital city of Rangitata, while Star Captain Sophia Thastus fought MechWarrior Sigland Idleson in her Grasshopper. Both battles ended in a Jade Falcon victory.[7]

During the Jihad, Erewhon was invaded a second time; this time, it was Clan Ice Hellion, who had launched a widespread invasion of the Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere. The Ice Hellion invasion began in April 3071;[8] Erewhon would remain an Ice Hellion possession until September of the same year, when the Jade Falcons recaptured the world.[9][10]

After it was taken by the Jade Falcons, Erewhon became an important world for the Falcon Scientist Caste. In fact it was mostly hidden from outsiders. The fighting of the early Jihad inflicted heavy damage on the world's infrastructure.[1]

The Eagle Craft Group on Erewhon were responsible for much of the development work involved in producing the Chalchiuhtotolin support tank for the Jade Falcons, and it was on Erewhon that the Chalchiuhtotolin would receive a baptism of fire in the mid 3080s. A raiding party consisting of both light 'Mechs and hovercraft, including Savannah Masters, attempted to either damage or steal from the DropPort facilities near the Jade Falcon production center. A handful of Chalchiuhtotolins successfully drove off the attacking forces.[11]
