Mercenary's Star

This article is about the mercenary "homeworld". For the novel, see Mercenary's Star (novel).

Mercenary's Star is a popular term referring to the center of mercenary hiring in the Inner Sphere—the supposed "homeworld" of mercenaries. The term originally referred to the Lyran Commonwealth world of Galatea. Later, due to the efforts of the Wolf's Dragoons to draw the mercenary trade to their homeworld, the term shifted to the more successful planet of Outreach. Outreach remained the Mercenary's Star from 3031 until 3067, when it was devastated during the Word of Blake Jihad.

The moniker is most frequently used in advertising for the planet and for the flowery books and trideoes with romanticized views of mercenaries.
