Planetary History
Gibson was terraformed from nearly-dry rock into a thriving, habitable planet. At the beginning only 20% of planet was covered by water, but when the Ryan Ice Cartel begun the transformation process the planet reached nearly 70% water coverage, and the new lands become great agricultural centers and so population of this planet begun to growth daily. When Gibson become known from their tolerance to various cultures the process accelerated reaching over 4 billion citizens by 3072.[1]
The famous tolerance of Gibson caused the Word of Blake to use it as a refugee after the ComStar Schism. Soon they began to impose their beliefs on the locals, as well as cooperating with Gibson companies, notably using Gibson Federated BattleMechs to produce the Grand Crusader.
On the 9th of August, the government of the Free Worlds League rump state on Atreus formally ceded control of Gibson to the Word of Blake - or, more specifically, to Precentor Apollyon of the Manei Domini.[2][3]
