| + | Previously known as '''Alpha C''' or '''Regil Kent''', Rigil Kentarus II was also one of the Prime or [[First Circuit]] Class A [[hyperpulse generator]] stations of the SLCOMNET and [[ComStar]] HPG Network. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Early settlement and Terran Alliance==== | ||
| + | Rigil Kentarus was settled early on during the [[Exodus (2102)|First Exodus]]. The world had an inhabitable moon, and its position near Terra insured it would be one of the first worlds settled.<ref name=DARWp249/> Rigil Kentarus was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] and the [[Demarcation Declaration]] of [[2242]],<ref name="HB:HMp16"/> and provided a more liberal haven for members of the intelligentsia and media seeking refuge from the oppressive laws of Terra itself.<ref name=TTS:RKp6>''Touring the Stars: Rigil Kentarus'', p. 6</ref><ref name=S8"Hollywood">''Shrapnel'' - Issue 8, "Operation Hollywood"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Terran Hegemony==== | ||
| + | When the Alliance was replaced with the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentaurus became one of the worlds within the [[Alliance Core]] province.<ref name="H:RWp159"/> Unlike [[Caph]] or [[Altair]], Rigil Kentaurus' population peacefully accepted Hegemony membership but required much convincing to surrender their autonomy and only narrowly voted to join. This attitude was reflected in the indifferent performance of Kentaran conscripts during [[James McKenna|James McKenna's]] [[Campaigns of Persuasion]], most notoriously on [[Denebola]] when a well-equipped Kentaran brigade broke before minor resistance and left the Terran infantry regiment they were supporting to achieve a glorious victory themselves. The subsequent decimation of the Kentaran unit motivated other non-Terran Hegemony soldiers to better standards of performance.<ref name=TTS:RKp6/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | As part of the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentarus received several [[Star League Defense Force]] bases to bolster Terran defense. These bases included several [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]] and [[SDS]] systems on both the planet and the moon, Riken Minor.<ref name=DARWp249/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unfortunately, during the [[Amaris Civil War]] Rim Worlds troops drove the defending SLDF forces off Riken Minor. From the moon, they blasted the surface of Rigil Kentarus with the massive lasers and particle cannons available to them. At such ranges the fire was wildly inaccurate, and the Rim Worlds attacks inflicted massive amounts of damage on the world's surface.<ref name=DARWp249/> | ||
| + | ====Jihad==== | ||
| + | During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], Rigil Kentarus started to recover with help from the Lyran Commonwealth government. These efforts weren't hampered by the occasional Draconis Combine or Free Worlds League raid. All that recovery work was undone however, during the [[Jihad]]. The Blakists wanted Rigil Kentarus to secure [[Terra]], and would stop at nothing to get it. After deploying nuclear and chemical weapons of mass destruction on the world and moon, nearly half the cities of Rigil Kentarus were destroyed and the atmosphere was tainted.<ref name=DARWp249/> | ||
| + | Rigil Kentarus was liberated by allied coalition forces in a campaign lasting just over two weeks in [[3078]]. The assault began on the 20th of May and ended on the 5th of June, but problems for the allied coalition didn't stop with the liberation of the planet; the bulk of the coalition forces who liberated the planet were [[Clan]] units drawn from [[Clan Ghost Bear]], Clan Jade Falcon and [[Clan Wolf]], and the three Clan blocs promptly divided the spoils from the campaign up amongst themselves via Clan Trials, ignoring the protests from the non-Clan elements of the allied contingent.<ref name="J:FRp59">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 59: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> After staging their Trials of Possession with the Ghost Bears, Clan Jade Falcon's [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha Galaxy]] and Clan Wolf's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]] departed Rigil Kentarus on the 5th of June.<ref name="JHS:Tp67">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 67: "Traitors Or Opportunists?"</ref> | ||
| − | + | In the wake of the [[Jihad]], the planetary government on Rigil Kentarus passed a law stating that any war matériel manufactured or used by the [[Word of Blake]] had to be destroyed; selling the equipment or parts of the equipment was illegal. As a result, companies such as Paddington Metals were employed to scrap and smelt down Blakist [['Mech]]s and equipment. The law passed on Rigil Kentarus was typical of that implemented on a number of worlds, and was both more moderate than the law passed on [[Freedom]] but stricter than the corresponding law implemented on [[New Earth]].<ref name="J:FRp36">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 36: "Swords To Slag: Anti-Salvage Trend Gains Ground"</ref> | |

The description of a K1V star matches Alpha Centauri B, while Alpha Centauri A is a G2V class star. | |

Planetary History[edit]
Early settlement and Terran Alliance[edit]
Rigil Kentarus was settled early on during the First Exodus. The world had an inhabitable moon, and its position near Terra insured it would be one of the first worlds settled.[2] Rigil Kentarus was one of the worlds that remained a part of the Terran Alliance following the Outer Reaches Rebellion and the Demarcation Declaration of 2242,[4] and provided a more liberal haven for members of the intelligentsia and media seeking refuge from the oppressive laws of Terra itself.[40][41]
Terran Hegemony[edit]
When the Alliance was replaced with the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentaurus became one of the worlds within the Alliance Core province.[8] Unlike Caph or Altair, Rigil Kentaurus' population peacefully accepted Hegemony membership but required much convincing to surrender their autonomy and only narrowly voted to join. This attitude was reflected in the indifferent performance of Kentaran conscripts during James McKenna's Campaigns of Persuasion, most notoriously on Denebola when a well-equipped Kentaran brigade broke before minor resistance and left the Terran infantry regiment they were supporting to achieve a glorious victory themselves. The subsequent decimation of the Kentaran unit motivated other non-Terran Hegemony soldiers to better standards of performance.[40]
As part of the Terran Hegemony, Rigil Kentarus received several Star League Defense Force bases to bolster Terran defense. These bases included several Castles Brian and SDS systems on both the planet and the moon, Riken Minor.[2]
Unfortunately, during the Amaris Civil War Rim Worlds troops drove the defending SLDF forces off Riken Minor. From the moon, they blasted the surface of Rigil Kentarus with the massive lasers and particle cannons available to them. At such ranges the fire was wildly inaccurate, and the Rim Worlds attacks inflicted massive amounts of damage on the world's surface.[2]
Jihad[edit]
During the Succession Wars, Rigil Kentarus started to recover with help from the Lyran Commonwealth government. These efforts weren't hampered by the occasional Draconis Combine or Free Worlds League raid. All that recovery work was undone however, during the Jihad. The Blakists wanted Rigil Kentarus to secure Terra, and would stop at nothing to get it. After deploying nuclear and chemical weapons of mass destruction on the world and moon, nearly half the cities of Rigil Kentarus were destroyed and the atmosphere was tainted.[2]
Rigil Kentarus was liberated by allied coalition forces in a campaign lasting just over two weeks in 3078. The assault began on the 20th of May and ended on the 5th of June, but problems for the allied coalition didn't stop with the liberation of the planet; the bulk of the coalition forces who liberated the planet were Clan units drawn from Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf, and the three Clan blocs promptly divided the spoils from the campaign up amongst themselves via Clan Trials, ignoring the protests from the non-Clan elements of the allied contingent.[31] After staging their Trials of Possession with the Ghost Bears, Clan Jade Falcon's Alpha Galaxy and Clan Wolf's Delta Galaxy departed Rigil Kentarus on the 5th of June.[42]
In the wake of the Jihad, the planetary government on Rigil Kentarus passed a law stating that any war matériel manufactured or used by the Word of Blake had to be destroyed; selling the equipment or parts of the equipment was illegal. As a result, companies such as Paddington Metals were employed to scrap and smelt down Blakist 'Mechs and equipment. The law passed on Rigil Kentarus was typical of that implemented on a number of worlds, and was both more moderate than the law passed on Freedom but stricter than the corresponding law implemented on New Earth.[43]

Notes[edit]
^ The BattleTech system of "Rigil Kentarus" aka "Alpha C" or "Rigil Kent" is apparently meant to represent the nonfictional Alpha Centauri system, which is also known as Rigil Kentaurus (mind the "u" which is omitted in BattleTech) and is a binary star system circled by a third star, Proxima Centauri. The description of a K1V star matches Alpha Centauri B, while Alpha Centauri A is a G2V class star.
