Planet History
Early History
The Chesterton colony was founded by Welsh explorer and wealthy trading fleet magnate Tristam Chesterton, owner of one of the largest trading fleets of the era;[4] in 2193 Chesterton was the centre of the newly-founded Chesterton Trade League,[3] a mutual protection pact that began with the worlds of Chesterton and Demeter and which gained new worlds with every passing year. When the Terran Alliance commissioned the Grand Alliance Survey of Populated Worlds in 2235 it was noted that Chesterton didn't consider itself to be even nominally under the authority of the Terran Alliance.[4] At some point prior to 2243 Chesterton and the remaining worlds of the Chesterton nation - variously referred to as the Chesterton Trade League, Chesterton Trade Federation and Chesterton Trade Worlds - joined their sister nation to become one of three provinces in the Tikonov Union, and later the Tikonov Grand Union. Under the Union and then the Grand Union Chesterton served as the capital world of the Chesterton Province.[5] Despite the existance of the Tikonov Grand Union, the former Chesterton nation continued to exist as an independent or semi-independent nation, using the Chesterton Trade Federation name. It was the Chesterton Trade Federation that fought a war with the Federated Suns over the worlds of Beten Kaitos and Emerson between 2318 and 2321.[7]
By 2357 the Sarna Supremacy had absorbed the Trade Federation, including the former capital world of Chesterton. In July 2357 a large force from the Federated Peacekeeping Force - the armed forces of the Federated Suns - landed on the former Chesterton world of Bell and claimed it in the name of the Federated Suns, with Prime Minister Reynard Davion also demanding that the Supremacy cede the worlds of Chesterton and Highspire to the Federated Suns.[8][26] The Supremacy had no choice but to comply;[8] Federated Suns troops went on to capture and hold Chesterton in the face of ineffective counterattacks.[9]
McCarron's Armored Cavalry was raised by Lord Gamala McCarron on Chesterton in 2930.
By the first Star League the world had been absorbed into the Federated Suns. The near constant attempts by the Capellan Confederation to reclaim the world damaged the planet's infrastructure and made it difficult for the citizens to live there. During the 3030's and 3040's however the peaceful climate in the Inner Sphere and the technology boom made possible by the Helm Memory Core allowed Chesterton to rebuild much of its infrastructure and industrial capacity. By 3067 the mining and pharmaceutical industries on the world had recovered, as had the ranches that produced meat animals.[2]
Jihad
During the Jihad, Chesterton was attacked yet again; invaded on the 20th of May 3071, the attackers this time were a group of cybernetically-augmented Thuggee fanatics, operating under the name "Warrior House Rakshasa". The cybernetic enhancements led to speculation that there was a link between Kali Liao and the Manei Domini, and Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao later denied authorizing an attack on Chesterton. Warrior House Rakshasa then left Chesteron as unexpectedly as they'd arrived, lifting off on the 17th of June.[27]
The Dark Age
In December of 3144, Operation Celestial Reward saw the liberation of Chesterton by the 5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry and 2nd Tikonov Guard from the tyranny of the Federated Suns. The defending 12th Vegan Rangers retreated to Ulan Batar rather than face destruction.[28] The capture of Chesterton and surrounding worlds has resulted in the reformation of the Chesterton Commonality and the reinstatement of the Hargreaves Family as hereditary rulers.[29]
