===Planetary History===
 +
====Third Succession War====
 +
Shortly after [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] assumed the throne in [[3007]], she instituted the practice of combined arms wargames dubbed "Witch Hunts" on the "barren" worlds of [[Gypsum]] and Baker 3. LCAF units would hunt down "Witch" units, a light and mobile opponent typically portrayed by [[Winfield's Brigade]] or the [[Stealthy Tigers]].<ref name=HSLCp126>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 126: "Strengths and Weaknesses of the LCAF"</ref>
 +
 +
====Operation REVIVAL====
 +
In August [[3050]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] conquered Baker 3 as part of [[Operation REVIVAL|Operation REVIVAL's]] Wave Four.  The [[Baker's Militia]] defenders were at less than full strength so their commander, [[Colonel]] [[Matthew Anders]], set traps and planned ambushes of the attackers forces.  These tactics destroyed a few [[OmniMech]]s and three Points of [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elemental]]s, but were considered "dishonorable" by the Jade Falcon forces.  This drove members of the [[Turkina Keshik (Clan Jade Falcon)|Turkina Keshik]] to hunt down and kill every militia member they could find.  Colonel Anders himself was killed with two Points of flamer equipped Elementals slipped past militia lines and destroyed the defenders headquarters.<ref name=JFS41>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 41: "Baker 3"</ref>
  
Opening Statement: "Planet1 is the [orbital number] planet in the SystemName system [and is the regional capital of the FactionName6's Region5 district]. On the surface, the planet hosts CompanyName7's FactoryName8 industrial facility [and the summer palace of ImportantPerson9], while the Industrial Satellite4 facility orbits its moon, Moon10.
+
====The Refusal War====
 +
In October [[3057]], Baker 3 would serve as a battlefield for the war between Clan Jade Falcon and [[Clan Wolf]].  During the ferocious [[Battle of Baker 3 (3057)|battle]], the two defending Jade Falcon [[Cluster]]s were virtually destroyed, with then-[[Cadet]] [[Hansen (Clan Jade Falcon)|Hansen]] a notable survivor.<ref name=BFWc28>''Bred For War'', ch. 28</ref><ref name=FatWp23>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 23-24: "Hide-and-Seek"</ref><ref name=RG8p6>''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 8'', p. 6: "Devil"</ref>
  
== Planetary History ==
+
====Falcon vs Viper====
 +
Baker 3 would be invaded by [[Clan Steel Viper]] during Wave Two of their [[Hegira War]] thrust into the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.  Though successful, the Steel Vipers would withdraw shortly afterwards following their defeat on [[Waldorff]].<ref>TCWoKp29>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 29: "Steel Viper Targets"</ref>
  
== Political Affiliation ==  
+
====Jihad====
 +
In early [[3069]], the [[Thorin FTM]] and [[Knights of St. Cameron]] assaulted the world, expecting to face the [[10th Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] they instead faced the [[7th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Seventh]] and [[8th Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Talon Clusters]].  Despite destroying the Seventh, the Lyran forces retreated to [[Deia]] as their losses mounted.<ref name=JHS70p45>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 45: "Avengers Fall Back"</ref><ref name=MSU>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 79: "Knights of St. Cameron"</ref><ref name=JHS72p48>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 48: "Falcons Return to Great X, Zanderu"</ref>

====IlClan====
-->
+
In the aftermath of the [[ilClan Trial]] Baker 3 regained its independence as the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone fragmented. As of June [[3152]] Baker 3 remained independent though closely bordered by [[Clan Hell's Horses]], [[Alyina Mercantile League]], and Khan [[Jiyi Chistu|Jiyi Chistu's]] reborn Clan Jade Falcon.<ref name=TRpm/>

Baker 3 was known for its hot springs and lush forests which made it a favorite recreation spot for those traveling through the area. The southern continent was named Lowa.<ref name=FaW>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 23–24: "Hide-and-Seek"</ref>  Some earlier sources described the world as "barren."<ref name=HSLCp126/>

The Baker 3 system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of June 3152 was an independent world in The Hinterlands.[2]

System Description[edit]

Baker 3 lies near the Devin and Stonarboi systems.[3]

System History[edit]

The Baker 3 system was colonized at some point during or shortly before the Age of War, and by the end of this era Baker 3 had been incorporated into the Lyran Commonwealth.[4][5] It belonged to the Trellshire Province of the Tamar Pact.[5]

By 3040, it was reorganized into the Blackjack Operations Area, Tamar March.[6]

Planetary History[edit]

Third Succession War[edit]

Shortly after Archon Katrina Steiner assumed the throne in 3007, she instituted the practice of combined arms wargames dubbed "Witch Hunts" on the "barren" worlds of Gypsum and Baker 3. LCAF units would hunt down "Witch" units, a light and mobile opponent typically portrayed by Winfield's Brigade or the Stealthy Tigers.[30]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

In August 3050, Clan Jade Falcon conquered Baker 3 as part of Operation REVIVAL's Wave Four. The Baker's Militia defenders were at less than full strength so their commander, Colonel Matthew Anders, set traps and planned ambushes of the attackers forces. These tactics destroyed a few OmniMechs and three Points of Elementals, but were considered "dishonorable" by the Jade Falcon forces. This drove members of the Turkina Keshik to hunt down and kill every militia member they could find. Colonel Anders himself was killed with two Points of flamer equipped Elementals slipped past militia lines and destroyed the defenders headquarters.[31]

The Refusal War[edit]

In October 3057, Baker 3 would serve as a battlefield for the war between Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf. During the ferocious battle, the two defending Jade Falcon Clusters were virtually destroyed, with then-Cadet Hansen a notable survivor.[32][33][34]

Falcon vs Viper[edit]

Baker 3 would be invaded by Clan Steel Viper during Wave Two of their Hegira War thrust into the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone. Though successful, the Steel Vipers would withdraw shortly afterwards following their defeat on Waldorff.[35]

Jihad[edit]

In early 3069, the Thorin FTM and Knights of St. Cameron assaulted the world, expecting to face the Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster they instead faced the Seventh and Eighth Talon Clusters. Despite destroying the Seventh, the Lyran forces retreated to Deia as their losses mounted.[36][37][38]

IlClan[edit]

In the aftermath of the ilClan Trial Baker 3 regained its independence as the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone fragmented. As of June 3152 Baker 3 remained independent though closely bordered by Clan Hell's Horses, Alyina Mercantile League, and Khan Jiyi Chistu's reborn Clan Jade Falcon.[1]

Military Deployment[edit]

Geography[edit]

Baker 3 was known for its hot springs and lush forests which made it a favorite recreation spot for those traveling through the area. The southern continent was named Lowa.[29] Some earlier sources described the world as "barren."[30]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Lowa: southern continent[29]
    • Baker River[29]
    • Ylrebmik Ocean: noted to be purple in color[29]
  • New Banner[45]
