Planetary History

Mantharaka is only marginally habitable, featuring barren highlands and cold, arid lowlands, but the vast and easily-accessible deposits of titanium-bearing oreas have made it a viable mining colony regardless.

By 2890 the world was marked as the capital world of its association with Contrilla, though no name is given to it.

By 3022 the world's name had changed to Mantharaka.

Canonicity

Featured only in the apocryphal BattleTech video game, the Mantharaka system was apocryphal until it was published as "Don't" in House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition).
