Tukayyid was an arid world composed mostly of large grassy plains, being held by agricultural companies. Several religions built there monasteries in isolated places across the planet. For centuries planet had small population, without centralized government.
History
On 1 May 3052, the largest single engagement of forces in the history of 'Mech warfare began. Twelve armies of ComStar's ComGuard clashed with twenty-five Galaxies of Clan forces on the hills and plains of the planet Tukayyid. The prize for this battle was the glittering blue gem of the Inner Sphere, the home of humanity: Terra.
A combination of ComGuard ingenuity, Clan short-sightedness, and plain luck allowed the ComStar forces to defeat the Clans one by one -- only Clans Ghost Bear and Wolf managed to win any sort of victory. At the end of twenty-one days of fighting, both forces counted ComStar the victor; Terra was saved.
After the battle, most citizens did not wish to return to a world that they would scarcely recognize, so ComStar took up residence so that they could be on the front lines when the Truce of Tukayyid expired. When Word of Blake captured Terra from ComStar in 3058, Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht relocated the headquarters of the ComGuard and, eventually, all of ComStar to Tukayyid. They also built the Focht War College on Tukayyid to make up for the loss of the Terran military academies.
