The Braunschweig system was the location of at least one habitable world or construct and (as of 3079) located in the Deep Periphery nation known as the Hanseatic League.[3] It was approximately 1,094 light-years from Terra in the coreward/anti-spinward direction.

System Description
The Braunschweig system is located near the Antwerp and Lübeck systems.[3]
System History
Braunschweig was discovered on 9 December 2816 by Lyran Commonwealth citizens of the Tamar Pact fleeing the chaos of the First Succession War. With the third planet in the system being nearly ideal for colonization with plentiful plant and animal life, the first colonists started arriving in 2824.[2]

After the end of the Hanseatic Crusade, Braunschweig III became the capital of the Scorpion Empire. Most of its history was uneventful, but on 13 March 3151, a Hansa terrorist attack leveled the Clan Council Chamber building, killing an unknown amount of people.[6]

Geography
Braunschweig has six continents—Salzebene, Schatzland, Schiksal, Oase, Lebenswald, and Isolierung—the first five of which are located in close proximity to each other and are linked by land bridges or arching archipelagoes. The sixth, Isolierung, is devoid of animal life and was regarded as a resort area for the wealthiest merchants once the deadly tree anemones on the land were cleared away. The world has varied landscapes ranging from vast mountain ranges, limitless grasslands, and trackless deserts that were once ancient ocean beds. The mountainsides are dominated by arboreal magnificence.[5][8]
Planetary Locations
- Schatzland (main continent)
-
- BattleMech Repair Facility: on the eastern verge of the Falkennest Peaks; also includes a small spaceport and landing strip[5]
Industrial Centers
- Lüneburg Vehicle Corporation: founded both to augment the Hanseatic League's military manufacturing industry and to provide cover for a hidden SLDF BattleMech repair facility[5]
Local Fauna
- Katzenwulfe: beasts frequently over 500 kg in mass which resemble hybrids of Terran great cats and dire wolves; an endemic menace against humans outside established settlements[8]
- Tree anemones: semi-mobile organisms with traits between that of plants and animals; the deadliest species in the wilderness that can kill via either poison or strangulation[8]
