The Placida system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 3145 was located in the Periphery region known as The Barrens.[1][2]

System Description[edit]

Placida was located near the Beowulf and Sigurd systems.[3][4][1][2]

System History[edit]

Placida was either settled during the Third Succession War or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this era for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.[5][6][7]

Planetary History[edit]

Clan Invasion[edit]

At the start of the Clan Invasion in August 3049, Placida was attacked by Bronze Keshik of Clan Wolf's Gamma Galaxy. A majority of the planet's defenders, the Placidia Guards, were caught completely off-guard by the attack and the unit was destroyed during fighting on the Usilic Ridge.[32]

Dark Age[edit]

In 3083, the Ferris Rebellion caused the Clans to withdraw from most of their Periphery holdings. The Hell's Horses had used Oberon IV as an administrative world, and when the Clan left the area in 3086, the administrators of that world formed the New Oberon Confederation. Placida was one of five systems to join the new polity.[30]

Military Deployment[edit]

3049[edit]

3079[edit]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Usilic Ridge: the site of a major battle during Operation REVIVAL[32]

Notes[edit]

  • This system is listed in earlier publications as Placidia;[34][35][36] modern maps use Placida.[37] Later products supersede earlier ones, so Placida is used here.
