The world of '''Gallery''' presents a barren surface. The system's weak sun cannot penetrate the perpetual heavy cloud cover, and the planet is constantly swept by violent storms.  Visual scans are useless on the surface, and the chilling storms drastically reduce equipment's effectiveness. Would-be attackers who somehow avoid scattering on their drop or deployment must locate their objective on a terrain devoid of either natural or man-made landmarks, as Gallery's main industries are located far from its few squat cities. The planet is honeycombed with long tunnels left by miningbots making extensive journeys for the rare pockets of gems and metals Gallery yields.  The one attack ever made on Gallery, by the [[Free Worlds League]], was a dismal failure.

However in [[2738]], when terrorists took over part of the planet, the [[97th Mechanized Infantry Division]] of the [[SLDF]] was sent to handle the situation.  The soldiers of the 97th, also known as 'The Troglodytes', were specially trained to deal with targets in subterranean locations.  In the end, the 97th divided the enemy into four sections via control of the tunnels and most of the terrorists surrendered.  Those that did not, were killed.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 151, "97th Mechanized Infantry Division"</ref>

Gallery's severe climate is the result of a strangely oversized moon and its effects on the three vast seas. This same damp climate restricts the planet to receiving approximately five weeks of sunlight a year. These conditions combined to create a world where no life could grow. Fortunately imported plants were able to convert much of the atmosphere to oxygen, and humans settled on the world.<ref name=HBS78/> Most of the world's 685,000,000 residents live underground to avoid the extreme weather.

This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

System Information
X:Y Coordinates-198.24 : 108.27[e]
Spectral classM5V[1][2][3]
Recharge time206 hours[2][3]
Recharge station(s)Zenith, Nadir[1][2][3]

The Gallery system was home to at least one habitable world, Gallery I, and as at 3145 was located in the Wolf Empire.[4][5]

System Description

The Gallery system is located near the Chukchi III and Thuban systems[4][5] and consists of a class M5V primary orbited by at least one planet. During the Thirty-first century recharge stations were in place at both the system nadir and zenith jump points.[1][2][3]

System History

The Gallery system was colonized at some point during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra, and was a member of the Protectorate of Donegal prior to the formation of the Lyran Commonwealth.[6]

Gallery I

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard

Gallery I - more commonly known simply as Gallery - is the innermost world in the Gallery system, and has a single moon named Romaine.[2][3]

Planetary History

Early History

Gallery was noteworthy for being another private holding of the Steiner family;[2] it was Gallery that Katherine Steiner chose to retire to after passing on rule of the Lyran Commonwealth to her son, Archon Alistair Steiner, in 2445.[7]

Star League Era

In 2738 terrorists took over part of Gallery; the Ninety-seventh Mechanized Infantry Division of the Star League Defense Force was sent to handle the situation. The soldiers of the Ninety-seventh, also known as 'The Troglodytes', were specially trained to deal with targets in subterranean locations. In the end, the Ninety-seventh divided the enemy into four sections via control of the tunnels and most of the terrorists surrendered. Those that did not, were killed.[8]

Succession Wars

Gallery was a daunting prospect, as any Would-be attacker who somehow managed to avoid scattering on their drop or deployment would have had to locate their objective on a terrain devoid of either natural or man-made landmarks, as Gallery's main industries were located far from the few squat cities. The planet is honeycombed with long tunnels left by miningbots making extensive journeys for the rare pockets of gems and metals Gallery yields. The one attack ever made on Gallery, by the Free Worlds League Military, was a dismal failure. The League raiders never exited the tunnels, most likely dying of starvation.[1] Most of the population of Gallery lived underground, to avoid the extreme weather.ef name=O:LAp13/>

During the Third Succession War the Kelly Communications company on Gallery was the subject of a hostile takeover by Nashan Diversified. The takeover was in fact so hostile that shots were fired between Kelly security troops and Nashan agents, resulting in Nashan Diversified being subject to legal censure by the Lyran Commonwealth government.[9]

The Jihad

During the Jihad, as the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces took continuing losses from combat while the Word of Blake ravaged the military-industrial base of the Lyran Alliance the satellite systems produced by Nashan Communications and Entertainment on Gallery became increasingly important to the war effort. The satellite networks acted as force multipliers, offsetting some of the effective combat losses the LAAF suffered.[10] By 3079 the Dynamics Company was operating at 55% of its maximum output.[11]

Geography

Gallery has four continents named Axillon, Ludella, Penrodia and Tyrillia,[3] and presents a barren surface to observers. The system's weak sun cannot penetrate the perpetual heavy cloud cover, and the planet is constantly swept by violent storms. Visual scans are useless on the surface, and the chilling storms drastically reduce equipment's effectiveness.[1] Gallery's severe climate is the result of it's strangely oversized moon, Romaine, and its effects on the world's three vast seas. This same damp climate restricted the planet to receiving approximately five weeks of sunlight a year. These conditions combined to create a world where no life could grow. Fortunately, imported plants were able to convert much of the atmosphere to oxygen, allowing humans to settle on the world.[2]

Planetary Locations

  • Morinton: The location of the Dunamics Company facilities on Tyrillia.[42]
  • New Stockholm: the planetary capital city, located on Tyrillia.[3]
