Owner History

Planetary Info

Parakoila is a mineral rich world, known for its gold and heavy metals. The planet's capital is the city of Mainstrike.[8] During the middle of the thirty-first century, the planet had a small 'Mech component manufacturing complex.[9]

Planetary History

Clan Jade Falcon Invasion of 3050

In September of 3050, the planet became the target of Clan Jade Falcon's Gyrfalcon Galaxy during the Clans' Invasion of the Inner Sphere. The planet's garrison force, the Parakoila 'Mech Battalion, converted a number of the planet's gold and heavy metal mines into defensive fortifications comparable to the SLDF's Castles Brian. The Gyrfalcons were forbidden by their Khans from using orbital bombardment because they wished to take the mines intact. Thus the Galaxy was forced to take the battle to the enemy themselves, fighting major confrontations at the Forty-Niner Mine and Mainstrike. In the end it took six weeks to root out the enemy, making the conquest of Parakoila the longest ever during the Clan Invasion, and even after the Battle of Tukayyid these same tunnels would be used by guerrillas to launch raids.[10]

The Steel Vipers takeover of 3052

In July of 3052, Clan Steel Viper launched a Trial of Possession campaign to extend their terriorities in Occupation Zones which included Parakoila. Faced with a frontline unit, Jade Falcon's garrison commander deemed planet strategically unimportant due to the lack of worthwhile resources. The 5th Provisional Garrison Cluster evacuated the planet in face of the Vipers, surrendering it to the Vipers' 57th Striker Cluster without a fight.[11]

During this Viper's garrison period, elements of the planet's old Lyran 'Mech Battalion would attack patrols and hit their supply depots once in awhile from planet's extensive mines.[12]
