Planetary History

Clan Invasion

At the start of the Clan Invasion in August 3049 Placidia was attacked by the Bronze Keshik of Gamma Galaxy. A majority of the planet's defenders, the Placidia Guards, were caught completely off-guard by the attack and the unit was destroyed during fighting on the Usilic Ridge.[33]

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. Placida was one of five systems to join the new polity.[28]

Military Deployment

3079

Planetary Locations

Notes

This world is listed on maps in The Periphery (sourcebook) and in The Periphery, 2nd Edition (sourcebook) as "Placidia", and on maps in Handbook: House Steiner and on the 3130 map of the Inner Sphere as "Placida".
