Owner History

Planetary Info

Blue Hole has a geography unique in the Inner Sphere. Most of the world's continents consist of a series of giant rivers covering the land like a network or lattice. These rivers empty into lakes that are surprisingly deep. This lattice of rivers and lakes extends far underground and takes the place of seas found on other worlds. The underground channels are wide enough to pass submarines and BattleMechs.[1]

The preponderance of fresh water immediately made the Blue Hole colonists wealthy as they exported fresh water to any number of worlds in the Lyran Commonwealth. Tourism also formed a large part of the economy, but during the FedCom Civil War Blue Hole was on the front lines. Clan Jade Falcon forces attacked the world and destroyed several units - House and mercenary - on the planet before Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces drove the Falcons away. The Wolves remained as a garrison force after the Falcons were removed, but there was a great deal of tension between the local citizens and the Wolf-In-Exile forces.[1]

In late January 3069 Clan Jade Falcon forces attacked and captured Blue Hole.[6]
