Cermak was a former Star League planet located in the Deep Periphery, in what used to be Clan Smoke Jaguar-controlled space. The planet's location does not appear on any Inner Sphere starcharts made before 3060 (all records mentioning Cermak were lost during the Succession Wars, accidently or purposely is unknown), and was rediscovered by deciphering captured Clan databases. Another strong possibility why Cermak is not found in any records is that the SLDF ordered that Cermak's location be kept classified, in order to prevent any further looting or exploitation of the planet.
Cermak was a completely desolate world: all garrison troops had long ago abandoned the planet after Cermak was devastated during the centuries of Succession Wars. Few Star League structures were left intact and most of the lostech had been confiscated.
In 3060, Yankee and Zulu companies of 1st Battalion of the 1st Davion Guards chased renegade Smoke Jaguar Star Colonel Marcus Kotare to Cermak after he escaped from SLDF custody. 1st Battalion managed to destroy or capture large amounts of Star League lostech, Clan-tech 'Mechs and equipment, and ancient SLDF facilities during their hunt for Kotare and his fellow renegades.
It was eventually discovered that Kotare had found ancient SLDF weapons vaults buried deep undergound and that he sacrificed his own DropShip by removing its engines and converting them into plasma drills to unearth the vaults. Inside the vaults were numerous Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), including chemical and nuclear weapons. SLDF Intelligence believed that the sociopathic Kotare would first use the weapons against the Davion forces on-planet, then use the weapons to conquer other planets, possibly even Terra.
MechWarriors from Zulu Company managed to hunt down and kill Kotare and destroyed his plasma drills, before he even had the chance to recover and use the WMDs. 1st Battalion's EOD technicians later recovered and safely disposed of the WMDs.
It is not known if Cermak was abandoned again or was garrisoned/colonized after its rediscovery.
