The Ebro system was the location of at least one habitable world or construct, and as of 3152 was the located in the Anjin Muerto Operational Area of the Periphery March within the Federated Suns.[1]

System Description[edit]

Ebro is located close to the Memphis and Sherwood systems.[1]

System History[edit]

The Ebro system was colonized at some point during or shortly before the Age of War.[2][3] The world was colonized primarily by individuals from Terra's Western Europe.[4]

Planetary History[edit]

Star League Era[edit]

During the Star League era, Ebro was considered "rural" with a vast untouched wilderness and only small settlements scattered across the world.[4]

The Dark Age[edit]

Ebro, like numerous other Federated Suns worlds in the region known as the Outback, opted to secede and form the Filtvelt Coalition in 3072, primarily because of the perception that the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns were unable to protect their worlds from Blakist and bandit activity. This included one of the well-developed worlds in the region, Sherwood, which was located relatively close to Ebro.[39]

In 3084 rumors circulated that the government of Sherwood, the Court of Elders, on Sherwood was considering appointing a regent for Earl Jonathan Tyler. Tyler had led a large part of the Sherwood militia unit known as Tyler's Terrors across the Federated Suns in support of the AFFS, citing the responsibility of all Federated Suns citizens to defend the state that protected them. While the Terrors' conventional forces returned to Sherwood to help deal with banditry, a narrow vote saw Sherwood opt to join the Coalition when it formed; when Tyler and the surviving MechWarriors from the Terrors returned, Tyler went into retreat, badly mentally scarred by the loss of his wife and friends during the initial attack on New Avalon and the events of the Jihad. It was this absence that eventually prompted the Council of Elders to consider the appointment of a regent; Jonathan responded by making an unexpected appearance at the court, during which he delivered an impassioned hour-long lecture to those present on how the barons within the Council had reaped the benefits of peace and freedom from the Federated Suns only to then betray the nation that fostered them and flee during a time of crisis. Transcripts of his lecture circulated through every major news outlet in the Filtvelt Coalition, leading to a movement that would later become known as the "Peaceful Revolt."[39]

Jonathan was determined to return Sherwood to the Federated Suns; he called in favors earned by the Terrors during the Jihad, opening up investment funds from New Avalon, and he combined this with his own personal funds to launch a number of major infrastructure projects on - and above - Sherwood. These projects included the introduction of a major maglev network on the planet and the construction of recharge stations in the Sherwood system. As the recharge stations came online - the second opened for business in 3093 - a steady increase in merchant shipping passed through the Sherwood system. The success of these projects were described by Jonathan as grand successes only possible due to the Federated Suns.[39]

Jonathan then expanded his work, traveling to other former Federated Suns systems nearby to fund similar infrastructure projects, all paid for using funding from the Federated Suns and his own resources. Jonathan refused to take credit for any of the works, instead insisting that they were only possible because of the Federated Suns. The end result of his efforts was a unanimous vote by the Sherwood Council of Elders in 3098 to rejoin the Federated Suns. In later years, Jonathan's efforts would result in Ebro, Memphis and other systems taking a similar path and leaving the Coalition to rejoin the Federated Suns.[39]
