Amaris deliberately aided and fueled the Periphery Uprising to draw the forces of the [[Star League Defense Force]] into the [[Periphery]] and away from the Hegemony, but he also needed to show that his own realm, the [[Rim Worlds Republic]], was being beset with terrorist attacks and uprisings just like the [[Magistracy of Canopus]], [[Outworlds Alliance]] and [[Taurian Concordat]], but in a fashion that indicated that Rim Worlds forces loyal to Terra and the [[First Lord]] were capable of handling. Doing so would highlight that the Rim Worlds Republic was at threat, that the Rim Worlds forces were loyal to the [[Star League]] and prevent the SLDF from either being too inquisitive or sending forces back into the Republic. To meet these various aims a Republican propaganda team headed up by [[Samir Njari]] created an elaborate deception: the Battle for Götterdämmerung.<ref name="H:LoTV1p98">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 98, "The Rim Worlds Uprising"</ref> |

The Republicans then leaked this information to the rest of the [[Inner Sphere]] in the spring of [[2765]], creating the desired impression and giving First Lord [[Richard Cameron|Richard Cameron II]] and his supporters proof of the prowess and loyalty of the Rim Worlds.<ref name="H:LoTV1p98"/> |
The extent of the deception perpetrated by Njari only began to come to light in [[2769]], when the SLDF arrived to conquer Götterdämmerung; reporters from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] embedded within the SLDF forces to report on the war between the SLDF and the Republic took the opportunity to ask the local population of Götterdämmerung how the more recent battles compared to the Battle of Götterdämmerung, only to learn that the natives had no knowledge of any such battle having been fought on their world. The full truth of the deception would finally be revealed when elements of the [[RRA]] uncovered archives on Apollo after the SLDF occupation that highlighted the work of Njari and his team.<ref name="H:LoTV1p98"/> | The extent of the deception perpetrated by Njari only began to come to light in [[2769]], when the SLDF arrived to conquer Götterdämmerung; reporters from the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] embedded within the SLDF forces to report on the war between the SLDF and the Republic took the opportunity to ask the local population of Götterdämmerung how the more recent battles compared to the Battle of Götterdämmerung, only to learn that the natives had no knowledge of any such battle having been fought on their world.

| + | * The system and the eponymous planet were presumably named after "[[w:Götterdämmerung|Götterdämmerung]]" ([[w:German language|German]] for "Twilight of the Gods" and the title of a piece from [[w:Richard Wagner|Richard Wagner]]'s famous opera "[[w:Der Ring des Nibelungen|Der Ring des Nibelungen]]"). However, many BattleTech sources and apparently all published maps featuring the system omit the [[w:trema|trema]] from the ö and ä [[w:umlaut|umlauts]] and spell it as "G'''o'''tterd'''a'''mmerung" instead, which is not an existing or meaningful word in German or any other language.<br />Although the misspelling apparently carried through for a succession of (canonical) maps, Götterdämmerung is at the same time spelled with correct umlauts in several canonical sources including ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' (p. 50), ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra I]]'' (throughout the text, including pp. 14, 69, 98, 110), and ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra II]]'' (p. 22), although even these would still erroneously spell it "Gotterdammerung" on maps in the same publication.<br />For the purpose of the Sarna.net [[BattleTechWiki]] it is assumed that "Götterdämmerung" is the correct intended spelling even though it is common for the system to be misspelled without trema in canonical sources. (The same is arguably true for other things named [[Götterdämmerung (disambiguation)|Götterdämmerung]] in [[BattleTech]].) | ||
| + | * According to the deployment tables on p. 153-154 of ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' and the map on page 128, the [[5th Amaris Legionnaires]] were deployed on Götterdämmerung from 2581 onward until their destruction. This contradicts the text on page 136, which has the 5th Amaris Legionnaires on Barcelona. [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/board,82.0.html The writer of ''Historical: Reunification War'' has indicated that Barcelona was the correct deployment for the 5th Amaris Legionnaires.] | ||
