−	In September [[3083]], eighty-three people were killed on Cygnus by [[Deputy Marshal]] [[Lon Donner]] of the [[Colonial Marshals]]. Donner executed three locals who had been found guilty of murdering a family of refugees from the [[Capellan Confederation]], only to find himself confronted with a rioting mob as a result. Donner fired into the mob to clear a route to his [['Mech]] and then ten weapons to disperse the riot. While a review judged that Donner had acted without malice, [[Force Commander]] [[Dirk McEvans]] removed Donner from active duty, chastised and reassigned him to teaching duty at the [[Marshalry Academy]].<ref name="FM:3085p147">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 147: "Fronc Reaches"</ref>	+	When the New Colony Region declared itself independent in [[3066]] Cygnus joined the newly-formed Fronc Reaches.

−	In the years immediately following the [[Jihad]], the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]] both concentrated on stamping out pirate activity within their respective borders. This resulted in the various pirate bands looking for easier targets, and pirate raids against the worlds of the Fronc Reaches spiked, despite the efforts of the [[Colonial Marshals]]. The Marshals' policy of executing captured pirates increased the savagery of the encounters between the two, and during this period the worlds of [[Rockwellawan]], [[Spencer]], and Cygnus all had the misfortune of suffering pirate raids that cost the lives of thousands of civilians.<ref name="OTP:FRp8">''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 8: "Periphery Pirate Plague"</ref>	+	In September [[3083]] eighty-three people were killed on Cygnus by [[Deputy Marshal]] [[Lon Donner]] of the [[Colonial Marshals]].

The colonists discovered that a local lifeform, the Cygnus Caribou, was already present in abundance, traveling in large herds across the tundra regions of the world. The colonists interbred the native caribou with their own domesticated cattle, and the resulting hybrid offspring were better suited to the temperate lowland plains found in the southern hemisphere of the world. The distinctive flavor of meat taken from both the domesticated caribou and the wild animals became a prized foodstuff for gourmet cooks. It was later discovered that the normally harmless caribou could become rather more dangerous during the periods marked by the local phenomenon known as "the demon wind" - a confluence of certain weather patterns and the blooming season of the tundra witch, a northern flower. The hallucinogenic pollen of the tundra witch travels for kilometers under these conditions, and the effects of the pollen can cause the caribou herds to stampede.<ref name="H:MPSp179">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p, 179, "Cygnus Caribou (Taurinus Tarandus Cygnus)"</ref> When the New Colony Region declared itself independent in [[3066]] Cygnus joined the newly-formed Fronc Reaches. As with the populations of the other Fronc Reaches worlds, the inhabitants of Cygnus were hopeful that trade agreements with other states such as the [[Marian Hegemony]], [[Outworlds Alliance]] and [[Taurian Concordat]] would lead to prosperity; in the case of Cygnus, the major export was expected to be gemstones from the opal mines found on the planet.<ref name="H:MPSp100">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 100</ref> In September [[3083]] eighty-three people were killed on Cygnus by [[Deputy Marshal]] [[Lon Donner]] of the [[Colonial Marshals]]. Donner executed three locals who had been found guilty of murdering a family of refugees from the [[Capellan Confederation]] only to find himself confronted with a rioting mob as a result. Donner fired into the mob to clear a route to his [['Mech]] and then used his 'Mech's weapons to disperse the riot; as a result, eighty-three people died. While a review judged that Donner had acted without malice, [[Force Commander]] [[Dirk McEvans]] removed Donner from active duty, chastised him and reassigned Donner to teaching duty at the [[Marshalry Academy]].<ref name="FM:3085p147">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 147, "Fronc Reaches"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Political Affiliation == == Planetary Rulers == == Military Deployment == == Geography == == Planetary Locations == == Industrial Centers == == Image gallery == --> == Local Fauna == * [[Cygnus Caribou]]<ref>''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 179, "Creatures"</ref> == Notes == The Cygnus individual system has no connection with the constellation named Cygnus. == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (14 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Spencer]] | class="lessthan30" | 16.5 | class="lessthan30" | [[Fronc]] | class="lessthan30" | 18.2 | class="lessthan30" | [[Chandan|Chaadan]] | class="lessthan30" | 26.1 | class="lessthan30" | [[Taygete]] | class="lessthan30" | 26.9 |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Addasar]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Úr Cruinne]] | class="lessthan30" | 29.3 | class="over30" | [[Bellerophon (system)|Bellerophon]] | class="over30" | 36.8 | class="over30" | [[Balawat]] | class="over30" | 44.6 |- | class="over30" | [[Mantharaka|Don't]] | class="over30" | 45.7 | class="over30" | [[Contrilla]] | class="over30" | 51.0 | class="over30" | [[Alloway]] | class="over30" | 51.6 | class="over30" | [[McEvans' Sacrifice]] | class="over30" | 53.5 |- | class="over30" | [[Detroit]] | class="over30" | 54.3 | class="over30" | [[Dainmar Majoris]] | class="over30" | 57.4 | class="over60" | [[Appian]] | class="over60" | 61.2 | class="over60" | [[Polybius]] | class="over60" | 62.9 |- | class="over60" | [[Joppa]] | class="over60" | 65.4 | class="over60" | [[Independence]] | class="over60" | 65.9 | class="over60" | [[Highwater]] | class="over60" | 67.3 | class="over60" | [[Skyfog|Project Libra Umbrella]] | class="over60" | 67.3 |- |} ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Periphery]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (Source Book)|First Succession War]]'' * ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Inner Sphere (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|The Periphery, First Edition]]'' * ''[[The Periphery, 2nd Edition|The Periphery, Second Edition]]'' * ''[[Second Succession War (sourcebook)|Second Succession War]]'' * ''[[House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)]]'' [[Category:Systems|Cygnus (System)]] [[Category:Planets|Cygnus (planet)]] [[Category: New Colony Region Planets]] [[Category: Fronc Reaches Planets]]
