The '''Beauvais''' system was the location of at least one habitable world and as of [[2767]] was located in the [[Timbuktu Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p104"/>

==Notes==

Beauvais was a part of the [[Timbuktu Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] and is located near [[Bougie]] and [[Slewis]]. Although Beauvais is detailed on maps within [[Handbook: Major Periphery States]] up until 2750<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/> none of the maps from later eras present in the Handbooks series of sourcebooks extend far enough into the Periphery to confirm or deny the continued presence of this system during the Succession Wars era.
==System Description==
 
Beauvais is located close to the [[Bougie]] and [[Cilvituk]] systems.<ref name=ER:3145p38/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>
 
 
 
==System History==
 
The Beauvais system was colonized during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/><ref name="HB:MPSp25"/> Beauvais vanished from maps during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]],<ref name="ER:3052p11"/> indicating that the system had been abandoned, depopulated, or rendered too insignificant for [[Inner Sphere]] nations to continue recording its location.

===Planetary History===
 
====Star League Era====
 
Following the coup launched by [[Stefan Amaris]], [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], the Commanding Officer of the [[Star League Defense Force]], announced that he intended to occupy the [[Rim Worlds Republic]]. General Kerensky established the [[14th Army Group (Star League)|Fourteenth Army Group]] as the lead Army Group for the invasion, divided the invasion forces into two task forces, one headed by himself, and the other by [[General]] [[Aaron DeChavilier]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p105">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 105: "The Gathering Storm"</ref> Like the rest of the Republic worlds, Beauvais was invaded by the SLDF, with forces from General DeChavilier's task force assigned to capture the world. Located on Beauvais was one of twenty forts constructed by the [[SLDF]] prior to the [[10th Army Group (Star League)|Army Group Amaris]] being ordered to withdraw from the Republic in [[2755]]. Fort Salisbury was located under Mount Beatrice, and had been well designed and situated by the SLDF engineers. The construction of Fort Salisbury allowed the various hidden weapon emplacements that formed part of the defenses had interlocking fields of fire, but were almost impossible to attack other than through close assault. The [[Rim Worlds Army]] troops on the planet, elements of the [[17th Amaris Dragoons|Seventeenth Amaris Dragoons]], used the fortress as a defensive strongpoint in their efforts to resist the invading SLDF troops.<ref name="H:LoTV1p107">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 107: "High and Low"</ref>
 
 
 
In September [[2768]], the SLDF made two direct attempts to breach Fort Salisbury - the first time via a [[BattleMech]] assault, the second time with a second BattleMech assault with artillery and air support; the first was rebuffed easily, and the second assault fared little better. Special forces teams attempted to destroy the hidden weapon emplacements, and while they did manage to destroy some, enough remained that forcing a breach would have resulted in massive losses. General DeChavilier eventually pulled his troops back from the fortress, and ordered a nuclear weapon to be used against it; the nuke, deployed via an [[aerospace fighter]] strike, shattered the west face of the mountain and the weapon emplacements there. Unfortunately, the attack didn't manage to break the main door, which had been shielded from the direct impact of the nuclear strike. While DeChavilier contemplated additional nuclear strikes, General Kerensky had been clear that the Rim Worlds Republic was still a Territorial State of the [[Star League]], albeit a rebellious one, and had given strict instructions to limit damage to the worlds of the Republic. As a consequence, DeChavilier opted to instead reduce Fort Salisbury - and the mountain it was contained in - using orbital bombardment. For two days a number of SLDF [[WarShip]]s bombarded the site, shattering the mountain and Fort Salisbury.<ref name="H:LoTV1p107"/>
