Originally settled by the Taurian Concordat, Zanzibar became the target of aggression from the Capellan Confederation, which was expanding in search of additional planets. Despite being Taurian colonies, Zanzibar and several other worlds were targeted by [[Chancellor]] [[Kurnath Liao]], who resolved to push the Taurians out of "Capellan holdings." The resulting military campaign ran from [[2397]] to [[2422]], began with clashes between the Capellan and Taurian navies and ended with the capture of three Taurian worlds, including Zanzibar. In contrast with the sporadic raids inflicted upon Taurian worlds by the [[Federated Suns]], the Capellan attacks were staged with a degree of savagery the Concordat hadn't encountered before; cruelty to prisoners and the outright massacre of Taurian civilians were commonplace events.<ref name="TP1Ep20"/> | Originally settled by the Taurian Concordat, Zanzibar became the target of aggression from the Capellan Confederation, which was expanding in search of additional planets.

System Description[edit]
The Zanzibar system is located near the Bergtatt and Alexandria systems[2][3] and has a class G2V primary orbited by at least three planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was located at the zenith jump point.[1]
System History[edit]
The Zanzibar system was colonized during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra and when the Capellan Confederation formed in 2366 Zanzibar was already a part of the Taurian Concordat.[4]

Zanzibar III - more commonly referred to simply as Zanzibar - is the third planet in the Zanzibar system and has a single moon named Pemba.[1]
Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
Originally settled by the Taurian Concordat, Zanzibar became the target of aggression from the Capellan Confederation, which was expanding in search of additional planets. Despite being Taurian colonies, Zanzibar and several other worlds were targeted by Chancellor Kurnath Liao, who resolved to push the Taurians out of "Capellan holdings." The resulting military campaign ran from 2397 to 2422, began with clashes between the Capellan and Taurian navies and ended with the capture of three Taurian worlds, including Zanzibar. In contrast with the sporadic raids inflicted upon Taurian worlds by the Federated Suns, the Capellan attacks were staged with a degree of savagery the Concordat hadn't encountered before; cruelty to prisoners and the outright massacre of Taurian civilians were commonplace events.[5]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
The planet came under attack in 3029 by Wylie's Coyotes who completely crushed Bullard's Armored Cavalry stationed there at the time, but the Mercenary group left shortly after their victory.[45]
The Jihad[edit]
Zanzibar was the location of a Duchy RTC which trains unarmored infantry and vehicle crews; the RTC was stationed on the Khane continent.[1]
The Victoria War[edit]
Duchess Amanda Hasek sought a number of worlds, including Zanzibar, in her plans for the invasion referred to as the Victoria War.[46] The invasion was kicked off on 7 September, 3103, when Hasek's forces arrived via pirate point.[47] The Third Federated Suns Lancers, Second Syrtis Fusiliers, and Pharaoh’s Arrows simultaneously dropped, with the 3rd and the Arrows assigned to take the capital city of Wete and its HPG; the objective was taken in under two hours. The 2nd moved on the Duchy Regional Training Center in the coastal city Gaskyl, on the northern continent of Khani. The student body, comprising a tank company and an infantry battalion, refused to capitulate and died en masse.[40]
Daoshen Liao's Canopian allies arrived in the Zanzibar system on 21 February 3104, striking the defending Sirdar Capellan March Militia with two regiments, the First Canopian Fusiliers and Second Canopian Cuirassiers. Though the attackers outnumbered the defenders, the Sirdar CMM employed effective combined-arms tactics and held off the Canopians. However, the weakened Kingston's Rangers arrived on 15 March, forcing the withdrawal of no more than 60% of the CMM's original contingent in the first week of April, when AFFS JumpShips arrived. The CMM escaped into the "wilderness".[48][49]
Military Deployment[edit]
2765[edit]
2786[edit]
- Twelfth Sian Dragoons[51]
3025[edit]
3050[edit]
- Bullard's Armored Cavalry[53]
3054[edit]
- Bullard's Armored Cavalry[54]
3067[edit]
3079[edit]
- Elements of Kingston's Rangers[1][57]
- - At this point in time, Kingston's Rangers were deployed across Yuris, Zanzibar, and Rollis. The Rangers were at 75% of full strength, with 90% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology.
3145[edit]
- - At this point in time, the unit was at 70% of full strength with an "F" equipment rating.
Geography[edit]
Zanzibar has two continents named Khane and Stone.[1]
The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 1.549 billion for Zanzibar and describes the environment as "desert" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Famous black market - anything can be bought here."
