Chara III (Pacifica) Planetary Description

Chara III, known locally as ’’Pacifica’’, is among the most contradictory worlds in the Inner Sphere. The planet has highly fertile soil and large bodies of water which makes it something of a paradise among the millions of bare and irradiated rocks that pass for planets in other parts of the galaxy. It is, however, also prone to extreme weather changes, has an unusually fast rotation cycle (14 standard hours) and lacks a moon. [2]

Chara III (Pacifica) Notable Places

Chara III/Pacifica is home of the Pacifica Training School.[3]

One of its main settlements is known as ’’Starpad’’. [4] Which is one of the worlds chief agricultural centers.

Chara III (Pacifica) History

  • 3027 - The world was invaded and occupied briefly by House Kurita forces. The Kurita’s invaded the world in search of Star League cache rumored to be on the planet. The invasion marked the formation of the famed mercenary unit, Crescent Hawks under the command of Jason Youngblood. The Hawks, fought a guerilla war against the Kurita Occupational forces and successfully kept the cache safe until Lyran forces arrived, caused the invasion to fail and forcing them off the planet.[5]
