The planet Artru is a barren, icy rock, too dangerous for permanent habitation and with almost nothing of value.<ref name=HA35/> Nevertheless, as of ca. [[3026]] it was described to possess orbital habitats and massive industrial mining facilities on rocky outcrops along the equator producing platinum, ruthenium, and some rarer exotics. These were manned by a token staff who only stay for month-long shifts.

In [[3025]], a mercenary lance led by Lady [[Kamea Arano]] found Castle Nautilus thanks to the SLDF maps in the [[Argo (Individual Argo-class DropShip)|''Argo'']]'s secondary storage. Shortly after the ''Argo'' entered orbit, the Taurian DropShip ''[[Iberia]]'' took off from the planet's second moon. When the lance landed near the Castle, the ship's engineer, [[Farah Murad]], tried to open the Outpost Castle's gates by hacking its Memory Core with her Advanced Electronic Codebreaker. She accidentally activated the Castle's defense systems and found an ancient electronic virus that ravaged their DropShip's systems. After dealing with the virus and the defenses, Kamea entered the SLDF base, finding a large amount of [[SLDF Royal]] BattleMechs, including an ''[[Atlas II]]''. Shortly after that, the ''Iberia'' landed on the planet and attacked her forces. Kamea, alongside a group of three MechWarriors who came from one of the [[House Karosas]]-owned ''[[Leopard]]''s she brought with her, were forced to fight their way out of Artru. After their escape ship was destroyed by the ''Iberia'', Kamea's group was forced to get on the ''Argo'''s own ''Leopard'', which they used to escape the planet and the remaining Taurian forces. Shortly after leaving the Castle, [[Yang Virtanen]] detonated several thousand tons of high-explosives inside the place, destroying the Outpost Castle and its riches to keep them from falling into the Taurians' hands.<ref>''BattleTech'' Video Game, storyline</ref>

*The tensions between the Taurian Concordat and the Aurigan Coalition that precipitated the [[Aurigan Directorate]] coup and the [[Arano Restoration]] were reportedly sparked by Aurigan overtures to four former (but long-since abandoned) Taurian holdings. The four systems in question are named in the ''[[House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)]]'' sourcebook<ref>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 11 - "Taurian Tensions"</ref> as [[Aea]], [[Regis Roost]], [[Qalzi]], and [[Katinka]]; however, official errata have since clarified that the Regis Roost system was undiscovered at the time, and was mentioned in error. Given its location on the map relative to the other three systems and that it used to be a Taurian system but was mapped as an Aurigan system as of 3022<ref name=HA14-15/> it seems likely that Artru was the fourth system, instead of Regis Roost.
