Afarsin was targeted by the SLDF in [[2583]] with the [[55th Brigade|Fifty-fifth Brigade]] from [[VII Corps (Star League)|VII Corps]] assigned to conquering Afarsin and with the [[Fourth Marik Militia]], [[Second Oriente Hussars]], [[Second Orloff Grenadiers]] and [[Third Regulan Hussars]] in support.<ref name="H:RWp102"/><ref name="H:RWp149">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 149, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (2583-2588)"</ref> Afarsin was an agrarian world of little strategic importance and was conquered in short order by the SLDF task force, part of a lightning campaign that saw four worlds conquered in two months, completing the encirclement of [[Canopus]]. Afarsin would be occupied by the SLDF for the remainder of the war; once the [[Reunification War]] ended, a number of Magistracy worlds were annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]], but Afarsin remained a part of the Magistracy.<ref name="H:RWp102"/><ref name="H:RWp158"/> ====Fall of the Star League==== During the final years of the Star League, Afarsin served as the main supply depot for the [[LXXII Corps (Star League)]]. Thus a substantial [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison was positioned on world. While this substantial force kept the world safe, the troops stationed there had more free time then they knew what to do with. The commander of the [[279th BattleMech Division]], Major General Janice Pigot, decided to put her Academy experience as a volleyball player to good use to resolve this issue. The recordings of BattleMechs rolling in sand dunes while batting a large ball between them could be found on worlds dozens of light years away.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 207, "279th BattleMech Division"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Political Affiliation == == Planetary Rulers == --> == Military Deployment == ===2580=== * [[MAF]] [[2nd Fleet (MAF)|2nd Fleet]]<ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref> ===2764=== * [[279th BattleMech Division]]<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 257, "SLDF - Magistracy of Canopus Military Command Map"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Geography == == Planetary Locations == ===Companies and Industries=== == Image gallery == --> == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (20 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Bass]] | class="lessthan30" | 16.4 | class="lessthan30" | [[Lindenmarle]] | class="lessthan30" | 17.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Booker]] | class="lessthan30" | 24.5 | class="lessthan30" | [[Restitution]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.4 |- | class="over30" | [[Bethonolog]] | class="over30" | 30.7 | class="over30" | [[Marantha]] | class="over30" | 32.1 | class="over30" | [[Tarol]] | class="over30" | 32.3 | class="over30" | [[Royal Foxx]] | class="over30" | 32.4 |- | class="over30" | [[Cranston]] | class="over30" | 33.5 | class="over30" | [[Gallis]] | class="over30" | 43.9 | class="over30" | [[Obrenovac]] | class="over30" | 44.9 | class="over30" | [[Palladix]] | class="over30" | 46.7 |- | class="over30" | [[Ceará]] | class="over30" | 47.2 | class="over30" | [[Gambilon]] | class="over30" | 49.0 | class="over30" | [[Candiear]] | class="over30" | 51.0 | class="over30" | [[Payvand]] | class="over30" | 54.5 |- | class="over30" | [[Ildlandet]] | class="over30" | 55.1 | class="over30" | [[Techne's Revenge]] | class="over30" | 56.8 | class="over30" | [[Eleusis]] | class="over30" | 57.1 | class="over30" | [[Zelmag]] | class="over30" | 59.0 |- |} == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Report: FWLM]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Periphery]]'' * ''[[Field Report 2765: Periphery]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Marik]]'' * ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[Inner Sphere (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[The Periphery, 2nd Edition]]'' * ''[[Second Succession War (sourcebook)]]'' [[Category:Systems|Afarsin]] [[Category:Planets|Afarsin]] [[Category: Magistracy of Canopus Systems]]
