| + | ===Geography=== | ||
| + | Grand Base is a tropical world in temperature. Seventy-six percent of its surface is covered with land. Behemoth, the planet's main continent, dominates the world. Behemoth is covered in rolling hills and mountains. The main continent has a large coastal mountain range along its east edge. There are three other sub-continent landmasses on the world, all of them easily reached by atmospheric transport craft. More importantly the huge freshwater seas that make up the other 34% of the planet's surface are home to many imported [[Terran]] fish as well as reptiles.<ref name=OCC17/> | ||

| + | ''[[Handbook: House Liao]]'', published only a few months earlier than ''[[Objectives: Capellan Confederation]]'', mentions that Grand Base has multiple continents, but does not name any of them. However, ''Objectives: Capellan Confederation'' states that there is only one continent named Behemoth. No other sources confirms or contradicts either piece of information at this time. | ||

System Description[edit]
Grand Base is located near the Nihal and Sumy systems and is rimward from Terra.[3]
System History[edit]
The Grand Base system was colonized at sometime before 2271. The system had Recharge Stations at both the Zenith and Nadir Jump Points circa 3067.[2][4][5]

Grand Base IV, or simply Grand Base, is an important industrial world deep within the Capellan Confederation and is known as the homeworld of the Death Commandos. It was orbited by two moons: Hightower and Capetown.[2][36]
Planetary History[edit]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
Grand Base was the personal holding of Colonel Pavel Ridzik. It served as a large military training, staging, and repair facility. Grand Base also boasted the second-largest BattleMech production facility in the Capellan Confederation. Only Tikonov's vast factories are larger.[1]
In 3030, Grand Base became a battlefield. Warrior House Fujita drove the attacking Andurien forces off world.[37] The defeat of the Sixth Defenders of Andurien by the Warrior House, militia regiments, and Death Commando trainees, provided a huge morale boost to the Confederation's armed forces. Heavy investment by the Capellan Confederation through the 3030's insured that the planet's economy had recovered by 3040.[2]

Geography[edit]
Grand Base is a tropical world in temperature. Seventy-six percent of its surface is covered with land. Behemoth, the planet's main continent, dominates the world. Behemoth is covered in rolling hills and mountains. The main continent has a large coastal mountain range along its east edge. There are three other sub-continent landmasses on the world, all of them easily reached by atmospheric transport craft. More importantly the huge freshwater seas that make up the other 34% of the planet's surface are home to many imported Terran fish as well as reptiles.[5]
In the MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries High Reward Quest "Hazing of the Weak," Grand Base is depicted as a lush canyon biome with good visibility.[45]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Hudson: city and planetary capital[5]
- Parung River: a 6,000 km long river in the southern hemisphere[46]
Companies and Industries[edit]
Local Flora and Fauna[edit]
Notes[edit]
Handbook: House Liao, published only a few months earlier than Objectives: Capellan Confederation, mentions that Grand Base has multiple continents, but does not name any of them. However, Objectives: Capellan Confederation states that there is only one continent named Behemoth. No other sources confirms or contradicts either piece of information at this time.
