===Planetary History===
 +
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
 +
In the last decade of the [[Third Succession War]], the [[Black Inferno]] mercenary unit pillaged sites all around the [[Inner Sphere]], driving people from their lands to unearth lost [[Star League]] facilities. They seized control of a refinery on Foot Fall III from a private consortium and were using the fuel reserves to help power their operations in the area. [[Sebastian Spears]] of [[Interstellar Operations]] learned of its location and forwarded it to [[Nik's Cavaliers]], who then destroyed their facility and delivered their first blow of many on the way to getting revenge for the death of [[Nikolai Mason]].<ref name=MW5M/>

=== Early History ===

===Planetary History===
Foot Fall was colonised by settlers descended from the inhabitants of the Mongolian region of [[Terra]], and while the colonists were caught by surprise by the abrupt seasonal changes on Foot Fall and the biblical winter snowstorms that dropped 60-70 centimeters of snow in just a few days, they also found that it reminded them of their parents homeland.<ref name=DARWp99/>

=== Fourth Succession War ===
+
====Fourth Succession War====
For most of its history Foot Fall's terrain and location made it an unlikely choice for assault. The Capellan Confederation enjoyed the output from the various industrial concerns for hundreds of years. That changed during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The [[5th Crucis Lancers|Fifth]] and [[Sixth Crucis Lancers]] destroyed the local militia and Foot Fall became part of the Federated Suns.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 86</ref>

=== The Dark Age ===
+
====Dark Age====
Foot Fall was incorporated into the [[Republic of the Sphere]] by [[Devlin Stone]], and during the Capellan-Republic War Foot Fall was the site of some of the fiercest battles between Capellan and Republic forces. Two [[Warrior House]]s captured Foot Fall for the Confederation and held it for three years in the face of assaults by elite [[Republic Armed Forces]] commands, but the Capellan sacrifice led to just a pyrrhic victory; one of the two Warrior Houses was destroyed, and Foot Fall was returned to the Republic as a part of the peacy treaty that ended the conflict.<ref name=DARWp99/>

During the [[Capellan Crusades]] Foot Fall was one of the first targets of the CCAF's Operation DIVINE RIGHT. There in October [[3111]] the RAF's [[IV Principes Guards|Fourth Principes Guards]] were caught in the middle of an equipment refit by the [[Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] and driven off-world with very heavy losses.<ref name=OTPCCp8>''Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades'', p. 8</ref> In February [[3112]] the [[X Hastati Sentinels|Tenth Hastati Sentinels]] made the Republic's first counterattack of the war at Foot Fall; in heavy fighting the Tenth, joined by the [[IV Hastati Sentinels|Fourth Hastati Sentinels]] in March, battled the Fourth MAC until May 3112.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 79</ref><ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', p. 86: "Capellan Crusades Deployment Tables"</ref>

== Geography ==

====3085====
Foot Fall has two continents named Hohhot and Ulaanbaatar. Hohhot is the larger of the two continents and is located in the southern hemisphere, while Ulaanbaatar is located in the northern hemisphere. Both continents feature expansive mountain ranges and relatively little arable land, although the arable land that exists is prolifically fertile. What the two continents lack in arable land they make up for in mineral resources, with Ulaanbaatar having huge reserves of iron ore, while Hohhot has rich veins of precious metals. The climate on Foot Fall produces abrupt seasons, with winter featuring snowstorms of Biblical proportions, easily capable of dropping 60-70 centimeters of snow in just a few days.<ref name=DARWp99/>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates94.601 : -109.868[e]
Spectral classM9III[1]
Planet(s)6[1]

The Foot Fall system was the location of at least one habitable world, Foot Fall V, and as of 3145, was located in the Sarna Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.[2][3]

System Description[edit]

The Foot Fall system is located near the Bell and Highspire systems[2][3] and consists of a class M9III primary orbited by six planets.[1]

System History[edit]

The Foot Fall system was colonized during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and was a part of the Sarna Supremacy prior to the formation of the Capellan Confederation.[4]

Political Affiliation[edit]


Foot Fall III[edit]

Foot Fall III is the third planet in the Foot Fall system.[31]

Apocryphal Content Starts

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

In the last decade of the Third Succession War, the Black Inferno mercenary unit pillaged sites all around the Inner Sphere, driving people from their lands to unearth lost Star League facilities. They seized control of a refinery on Foot Fall III from a private consortium and were using the fuel reserves to help power their operations in the area. Sebastian Spears of Interstellar Operations learned of its location and forwarded it to Nik's Cavaliers, who then destroyed their facility and delivered their first blow of many on the way to getting revenge for the death of Nikolai Mason.[31]

Geography[edit]

In the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Campaign Mission "First Strike," Foot Fall III is depicted as a sulfurous biome with reduced visibility.[31]

Foot Fall V, more commonly referred to simply as Foot Fall or Footfall, is the fifth planet in the system and has a single moon named Ankara.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

Foot Fall was colonized by settlers descended from the inhabitants of the Mongolian region of Terra, and while the colonists were caught by surprise by the abrupt seasonal changes on Foot Fall and the biblical winter snowstorms that dropped 60-70 centimeters of snow in just a few days, they also found that it reminded them of their parents’ homeland.[1]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

For most of its history, Foot Fall's terrain and location made it an unlikely choice for assault. The Capellan Confederation enjoyed the output from the various industrial concerns for hundreds of years. That changed during the Fourth Succession War. The Fifth and Sixth Crucis Lancers destroyed the local militia and Foot Fall became part of the Federated Suns.[33]

Operation GUERRERO[edit]

Thirty years after the Fourth Succession War saw Foot Fall lost to the Confederation, Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao launched Operation GUERRERO with the assistance of the Free Worlds League, and recaptured a number of former Capellan worlds. One of those worlds was Foot Fall.[1]

Dark Age[edit]

Foot Fall was incorporated into the Republic of the Sphere by Devlin Stone, and during the Capellan-Republic War, Foot Fall was the site of some of the fiercest battles between Capellan and Republic forces. Two Warrior Houses captured Foot Fall for the Confederation and held it for three years in the face of assaults by elite Republic Armed Forces commands, but the Capellan sacrifice led to just a pyrrhic victory; one of the two Warrior Houses was destroyed, and Foot Fall was returned to the Republic as a part of the peace treaty that ended the conflict.[1]

During the Capellan Crusades Foot Fall was one of the first targets of the CCAF's Operation DIVINE RIGHT. There in October 3111 the RAF's Fourth Principes Guards were caught in the middle of an equipment refit by the Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry and driven off-world with very heavy losses.[34] In February 3112 the Tenth Hastati Sentinels made the Republic's first counterattack of the war at Foot Fall; in heavy fighting the Tenth, joined by the Fourth Hastati Sentinels in March, battled the Fourth MAC until May 3112.[35][36]

Foot Fall was reclaimed by the Republic at the Crusades' end, but fell to House Liao again sometime following the HPG Blackout of 3132.[30]

Military Deployment[edit]

3029[edit]

3079[edit]

- At this time, the Fifth Confederation Reserve Cavalry were deployed across Foot Fall, Mandate, and Remshield. The Fifth was at 75% of full strength, with 80% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology.

3085[edit]

- At this time, the III Hastati was at 80% of full strength, with no equipment upgraded technology.

Geography[edit]

Foot Fall has two continents named Hohhot and Ulaanbaatar. Hohhot is the larger of the two continents and is located in the southern hemisphere, while Ulaanbaatar is located in the northern hemisphere. Both continents feature expansive mountain ranges and relatively little arable land, although the arable land that exists is prolifically fertile. What the two continents lack in arable land they make up for in mineral resources, with Ulaanbaatar having huge reserves of iron ore, while Hohhot has rich veins of precious metals. The climate on Foot Fall produces abrupt seasons, with winter featuring snowstorms of Biblical proportions, easily capable of dropping 60–70 centimeters of snow in just a few days.[1]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Ganz: the planetary capital city, located in the Fen Fang Fu delta region on the north cost of Hohhot[1]
  • Valley of the Kings: the place where the Fourth Principes Guards made their last stand against the Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry during the Capellan Crusades[34]
