Later, in 3041, a ComStar Explorer Corps team under [[Precentor]] [[Barton Bixby]] discovered the planet and surveyed the remains of an ancient battle. While puzzled by the presence of two unknown BattleMech designs, they were more perplexed by a gravesite that was surrounded by sixteen stone seats and an arch covered with etchings of nineteen crossed out animal emblems. They surmised a link with a BattleMech's insignia with the [[Minnesota Tribe]] while concluding that the gravesite was regularly maintained by unknown people from the presence of eight-month-old flowers and a DropShip landing zone with burn markings. Uncertain of their connection with Aleksandr Kerensky's Exodus and how they'd react to their presence, the Precentor instructed the expedition to record and categorize as many findings as they can before leaving the planet unmolested. + Following the annihilation of [[Clan Wolverine]] at Barbados, the system's location was purged from all Clan databases. − ==Barbados==+ == Planetary Info == − ===Planetary Info=== Barbados was described as a jungle world with four continents, one desert, one with tropical rainforests (continent number three), and two with a mix of terrain types.
