Geography

Oberon VI is a pleasant world. Warm and temperate, the planet is even more important because of its rich deposits of gold and coal.[19]

Planetary History

Downfall

After it was colonized Oberon VI became a valued member of the Rim Worlds Republic and the people of the planet saw with horror the end of their parent nation. Therefore they pledged to continue the Republic's traditions and together with the neighboring worlds of Sigurd and Crellacor founded the Oberon Confederation in 2775. But the tiny alliance suffered from the downfall of technology and numerous pirate attacks and two decades after it's inception the ill-fated Confederation was unable to exist any further.[5]

The rule of the Grimms

In 2855 the remaining people of Oberon were totally unprepared for the arrival of Hendrik Grimm, a former Colonel of the LCAF, who deserted with his unit, the 65th Lyran Regulars. They chose the lost planet as a new home, started to recruit bandits and to raid the neighboring systems. The region suffered from bandit rule until Hendrik Grimm III came to power. He was not satisfied with a life as mere bandit king and in 3012 built a second Oberon Confederation out of the systems in the region, that constantly grew stronger, not only by bandit raids but also by trade, industrialization and colonization effords. Under Hendrik Grimm III Oberon even started relations with the Great Houses of Steiner and Kurita and led the Confederation into a future as a respectable power.[19]

The Clan Invasion

So it seemed until 3049 when Clan Wolf arrived and on 18 September quickly swallowed Oberon along with it's entire Confederation, destroying Hendrik III and his outmatched Oberon Guards in the process.[20] The battle was short, with the 11th Wolf Guards of Delta Galaxy defeating the 1st Oberon Guards at first Black Canyon, then Dao Sing Plain and finally at Kennedy Beach. When the battle was over the King was found dead, having taken his own life rather than submit to Clan rule. The victory also gave Clan Wolf the chance to analyze the fighting style of the Inner Sphere, which they used to great success during the rest of the invasion.[21] Because of a breakdown of the world's Hyperpulse Generator at first only rumors reached the Inner Sphere of the nation's demise. Oberon VI spends over twenty years as a property of the Wolves until the Clan Hell's Horses conquered their entire Periphery holdings during the early Jihad.[14] Oberon itself would be conquered by the Hell's Horses during the last two weeks of November 3070.[13]

Dark Age

In 3083 the Ferris Rebellion caused the Clans to withdraw from most of their Periphery holdings. The Hell's Horses had used Oberon IV as an administrative world, and when the Clan left the area in 3086, the administrators of that world formed the New Oberon Confederation. Oberon became the capital of the new polity.[22] Technicians from Clan Ghost Bear arrived on Oberon to refurbish Grimfort, a fortress first built by Hendrik Grimm. These renovations turned it into a modern Castle Brian. Why the Bears were willing to do so wasn't known in 3095.[23]
