The Brasha system was home to at least one habitable world, Brasha IV, and as of 3145 was located in the Raven Alliance.[2][3]

System Description[edit]

The Brasha system is located near the Bad News and Morthac systems[2][3] and consists of a class G4V primary orbited by at least four planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the nadir jump point.[1]

System History[edit]

The Brasha system was colonized in the early twenty-sixth century[1] but only became significant enough for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps in the Star League era.[4]

Brasha IV, more commonly referred to simply as Brasha, is the fourth planet in the Brasha system and has two moons named Djerba and Iturea.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

Star League[edit]

The desert world of Brasha was first settled by ascetics, who practiced the Shia branch of Islam. Arriving in the early twenty-sixth century, these first settlers established the city of Alaikum, which would survive both the Reunification War and the decline of the Star League, becoming a center of Shi'ite scholarship and learning. The population grew slowly as land was recovered from the desert around the oasis on which Alaikum had been built.[1]

Succession Wars[edit]

By the middle of the thirty-first century the population of Brasha had grown to over half a million, the majority of whom were Shi'ites, but with the addition of a significant minority from the Draconis Combine who arrived as refugees, bringing both Buddhists and a practicing Shinto community. The main population expansion on Brasha occurred in the early twenty-ninth century as a result of the formation of the Alliance Military Corps, which saw a sudden demand generated for fuels and radioactives of various kind to support the Alliance Air Force. The radioactives and petrochemicals under the shifting sands of Brasha suddenly became priceless, and between 2801 and 2832 Brasha was inundated with wildcatters and mining concerns who built new towns and pipelines wherever feasible across the vast stretches of sand. These pipelines and facilities were often jury-rigged and difficult to maintain, but they allowed Brasha to prosper by the standards of the Alliance at the time.[1]

Brasha is known not just for the Shi'ite learning at Alaikum, the fuels and radioactives produced or the remarkable artwork produced by the Buddhist and Shinto communities near the western edge of the Great Northern Expanse; also of considerable note is the unique contribution made to the planetary militia by the elite infantry known as the Qum'ran Guard, named for the city from which they are recruited. The Qum'ran Guard ride tariqim, a species of predator lizard that stand six feet high at the shoulder, can store nutrients to survive internally in a fashion akin to the camels of Terra and can run at the same speed as some hovercraft or BattleMechs.[1]
