Owner History

Planetary Info

Erewhon has two continents, Te Ika-a-Māui and Te Wai Pounamu where the capital city Rangitata is located.[1]

Planetary History

The planet was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere; as one of the worlds of the Greater Valkyrate, Erewhon was one of the earlier worlds to be captured. During the Jihad, Erewhon was invaded a second time; this time, it was Clan Ice Hellion, who had launched a widespread invasion of the Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere. The Ice Hellion invasion began in April 3071;[11] Erewhon would remain an Ice Hellion possession until September of the same year, when the Jade Falcons recaptured the world.[12][13]

The Eagle Craft Group on Erewhon were responsible for much of the development work involved in producing the Chalchiuhtotolin support tank for the Jade Falcons, and it was on Erewhon that the Chalchiuhtotolin would receive a baptism of fire in the mid 3080s. A raiding party consisting of both light 'Mechs and hovercraft, including Savannah Masters, attempted to either damage or steal from the DropPort facilities near the Jade Falcon production center. A handful of Chalchiuhtotolins successfully drove off the attacking forces.[15]
