Ishtar IV - more commonly known simply as Ishtar - is the fourth planet in the system.<ref name=P86/>

== Planetary History ==
 +
Ishtar was settled in [[2320]] and was one of the earliest worlds settled within [[Flannagan's Nebulea]].<ref name="TP1Ep17"/> Ishtar was perhaps the principal agricultural world of the Taurian Concordat. It hds the distinction of being the only undefended world in the Concordat; the planet was deliberately demilitarized in an effort to make less attractive to raiders and pirates. As late as the end of the [[Third Succession War]] there were no [[ComStar]] facilities or any heavy industry on the planet, whose primary exports were foodstuffs and related goods. The highest technology located on Ishtar was that used to make some of the best wines in the Taurian Concordat.<ref name=P86/>

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.

Ishtar
System Information
X:Y Coordinates187.99 : -388.08[e]
Spectral classG5[1]
Recharge station(s)None[1]

The Ishtar system was home to at least one habitable world, Ishtar IV, and as at 3145 was located in the Taurian Concordat.[2][3]

System Description

The Ishtar system is located within the Hyades Cluster near the Samantha and Taurus systems.[2][3]

System History

The Ishtar system was colonized in 2320 and was one of the founding worlds of the Taurian Homeworlds prior to the formation of the Concordat.[4]

Ishtar IV

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Ishtar IV - more commonly known simply as Ishtar - is the fourth planet in the system.[1]

Planetary History

Ishtar was settled in 2320 and was one of the earliest worlds settled within Flannagan's Nebulea.[4] Ishtar was perhaps the principal agricultural world of the Taurian Concordat. It hds the distinction of being the only undefended world in the Concordat; the planet was deliberately demilitarized in an effort to make less attractive to raiders and pirates. As late as the end of the Third Succession War there were no ComStar facilities or any heavy industry on the planet, whose primary exports were foodstuffs and related goods. The highest technology located on Ishtar was that used to make some of the best wines in the Taurian Concordat.[1]
