The Gillfillan's Gold system was home to at least one habitable world and as of 3151 was located in the Timbuktu Collective.[1]

System Description[edit]

The Gillfillan's Gold system is located near the Merlynpede and Otisberg systems and home to at least one inhabited planet and the Bhide Asteroid Belt.[2][3]

System History[edit]

The Gillfillan's Gold system was either colonized by the Rim Worlds Republic during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War, or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this period to be recorded on maps.[4][2][3]

Planetary History[edit]

Clan Invasion[edit]

The Unification Movement active on Gillfillan's Gold and a number of other worlds in the region gained a significant boost when a town councilman named William Roberts discovered that his friend, James Moroney, was the kind of stirring speaker needed to tip popular opinion in favor of bringing together several systems in a new interstellar nation. Morney - a former professor from the University of Regulus exiled from the Free Worlds League - had settled on Gillfillan's Gold in 3041 to start a new life as a simple farmer, but was persuaded to become the spokesman for the Unionists.[38][39]

A devastating pirate raid on Otisberg in 3046 nearly derailed the efforts of the Unification Movement, but the arrival of Able's Aces tipped things back in favor of the Unionists after the Ace's leader, Major Jerry Able, attended one of Moroney's speeches and persuaded his unit to join the cause, providing training and protection to the six worlds involved. With the signing of the Rim Collection Charter in 3048 the Rim Collection was founded, and James Moroney was declared the first President of the Collection and Gillfillan's Gold became the capital of this new interstellar polity.[38][39]

During the first two decades of the Collection's history Gillfillan's Gold joined Slewis and Waypoint in exporting significant quantities of rugged local grains, luxury foodstuffs and livestock, with the Abbey District of the Free Worlds League and the Magistracy of Canopus being major customers.[40]
