This forced the population to build trading partnerships with a number of nearby worlds; exploiting the oil and radioactive materials for trade purposes, the export of both formed the basis of the planetary economy.<ref name=DA:RWp198/> Summer was soon a valuable world within the Federation of Skye, with cities springing up across all four continents. The cities were invariably located close to the reserves of ore and oil, despite the difficulty in traveling overland between settlements because of the mountain ranges.<ref name=DA:RWp198/> |

The JumpShip industry in turn prompted the [[Star League Defense Force]] to install a substantial garrison on Summer and to construct a number of [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]]. During the [[Amaris Civil War]] many of the facilities and industries on Summer were damaged, but the planet remained a viable enough economic and industrial center to make it a valuable addition to the Lyran Commonwealth<ref name=DA:RWp198/> despite the destruction of the majority of the shipbuilding industries.<ref name=HB:HSp90/> |

| − | By the end of the [[Third Succession War]] | + | By the end of the [[Third Succession War]] Summer was both the political center of the Skye Province and the beating heart of the Skye separatist movement, championed by Duke [[Aldo Lestrade IV]]. The center of the separatist movement on Summer itself was the city of Curitiba, the largest city on the planet, and home to Duke Lestrade's palace, which loomed imposingly over the city. In addition to the production of oil and radioactives, Summer was notable for possessing factories that produced [[JumpShip]] components.<ref name=HSp167/> Summer was still tied strongly to the Seventeenth Skye Rangers regiment as a result of the historical agreement that at least half of the Seventeenth's [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] had to be recruited from Summer.<ref name="HS(TLC)p63">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 63: "Regimental Nicknames (continued)"</ref> |
With the death of Duke Aldo Lestrade IV in the late 3020s the Lestrade family fell from grace, and control over the planet was acquired by the [[House Hayne|Hayne family]], an old Summer family that had dominated the polar continent of Aberdale for a long time. The Hayne influence was partly tied to the commercial refineries found on Aberdale, whose output effectively controlled more than a fifth of the planetary income of Summer.<ref name=HB:HSp90/> | With the death of Duke Aldo Lestrade IV in the late 3020s the Lestrade family fell from grace, and control over the planet was acquired by the [[House Hayne|Hayne family]], an old Summer family that had dominated the polar continent of Aberdale for a long time.

Despite the damage dealt to Summer's defenders, the Word of Blake didn't attempt to occupy the planet, but instead simply moved on.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> The long-term damage on Summer as a result of the Blakist attack was significant; in addition to the three million people killed in the Curitiba bombing, much of heavy industry on the Lestrade continent was also devastated in the blast as was the countryside around Curitiba.<ref name=DA:RWp198/> |
