Moons | 2 (Kalinda)[31] |
Tantara was an important logistical and command hub for the Star League Defense Force and later the St. Ives Compact. It has two moons, the larger of which was known as Kalinda and has extensive habitation.[31][32]
Planetary History[edit]
Star League[edit]
Prior to the Fall of the Star League, Tantara was the headquarters world of the SDLF's LVII Corps and Twelfth Jump Infantry Division. The local population was against having the SLDF forces on world and protests numbering in the thousands of civilians were common.[32]
Tantara's larger moon Kalinda served as the homeport of the Sixth Fleet of the Star League Navy. While there were naval offices on Tantara itself, they were minor. It was not uncommon to have one or more squadrons of WarShips in-system.[31]
Third Succession War[edit]
In 2990, a subterranean Star League era supply depot was discovered on Tantara's antarctic shelf. The BattleMechs, largely Goliaths, found in storage there were used to reform the Fifth Capellan Chargers.[33]
Capellan-St. Ives War[edit]
Tantara was an important world that suffered heavy fighting during the Capellan-St. Ives War. However, available information on the timeline of the fighting is confused or contradictory. Using the best guess with the info available, House Dai Da Chi, reinforced by the Renshield's Dragoons, would take the vital logistic world of Tantara from the St. Ives Compact defenders, Second St. Ives Lancers, Second St. Ives Sentinels, and Group W, in 3062. Later, House Dai Da Chi and Renshield's Dragoons would be moved off world as the Fifth Confederation Reserve Cavalry took over the garrisoning of Tantara. In 3063, the St. Ives Compact would later retake the world when the 1st Janissaries attacked. Then an unknown Capellan force would retake Tantara and finally drive off the Compact troops for good.[34][35][36][37]
While the above information is not confirmed, the seizure of Tantara by the Capellans is credited as spurring the first peace talks between the combatants that would end the conflict.[34]
