The '''Veil''' system was home to at least one habitable world and as at [[3145]] was located in the bandit kingdom known as the [[Rim Territories]].<ref name=ER:3145p38/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

== System Description ==

The Veil system is located near the [[Austerlitz]] and [[Edirne]] systems.<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/><ref name="ER:2750p36"/><ref name=ER:3145p38/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

== System History ==
 +
Originally named '''Oporto''', the Veil system was either colonised during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]], or was an already-inhabited system that was incorported into the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] during this period and which was considered significant enough to have its location recorded by [[Inner Sphere]] nations.<ref name="H:RWp158"/><ref name="HB:MPSp25"/><ref name="ER:2750p36"/>
 +
 +
Oporto was annexed by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during [[Operation ALMARIC]],<ref name="H:LoTv1p104"/><ref name="HB:MPSp37"/> before becoming an independent system at some point during the [[Second Succession War]].<ref name="HB:HSp36"/><ref name="H:LOTV2p122"/><ref name="HB:HSp40"/> Oporto subsequently vanished from maps during the [[Third Succession War]], having either been abandoned, depopulated or rendered too insignificant to merit further recording.<ref name="HS(TLC)pvii"/><ref name="HB:HSp47"/>
 +
 +
Oporto reappeared on maps at some point during or after the [[FedCom Civil War]] as an independent system named Veil,<ref name="ER:3062p28"/><ref name="J:FRp42"/> prior to being incorporated into or annexed by the Rim Territories at some point during the early [[Dark Age]].<ref name="FM:3085pvii"/><ref name="MotIS3130"/>

This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

Veil (Oporto)
System Information
X:Y Coordinates-449.95 : 307.61[e]

The Veil system was home to at least one habitable world and as at 3145 was located in the bandit kingdom known as the Rim Territories.[1][2]

System Description

The Veil system is located near the Austerlitz and Edirne systems.[3][4][1][2]

System History

Originally named Oporto, the Veil system was either colonised during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War, or was an already-inhabited system that was incorported into the Rim Worlds Republic during this period and which was considered significant enough to have its location recorded by Inner Sphere nations.[5][3][4]

Oporto was annexed by the Lyran Commonwealth during Operation ALMARIC,[6][7] before becoming an independent system at some point during the Second Succession War.[8][9][10] Oporto subsequently vanished from maps during the Third Succession War, having either been abandoned, depopulated or rendered too insignificant to merit further recording.[11][12]

Oporto reappeared on maps at some point during or after the FedCom Civil War as an independent system named Veil,[13][14] prior to being incorporated into or annexed by the Rim Territories at some point during the early Dark Age.[15][16]

Planetary History

In or around 3079 intelligence services working for the Republic of the Sphere reported that the mercenary command Hexare Grenadiers, working for the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces at the time, had uncovered a Word of Blake Level II on Oporto and called in the Qanatir MTM to help destroy the Blakists. Notably, the RAF intelligence services referred to the system as Oporto, not Veil, despite Veil being in use on maps.[36]
