====Early History====
Settled in the late twenty-second century by colonists predominantly originating from Southeast Asia on [[Terra]],<ref name=DARWp103/> shortly after it was settled, Gan Singh became part of the Tikonov Union. When the later [[Tikonov Grand Union]] became part of the Capellan Confederation, Gan Singh followed. Most of the land surface is devoted to agricultural endeavors, with the few larger cities located along the equator.<ref name=HB:HLp75/>

====Fourth Succession War====
 
Long a part of the Capellan Confederation, Gan Singh was captured by the Federated Suns during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. For the next thirty years its raw materials were shipped to factories in the [[Sarna March]], Federated Suns, and [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. It was also noteworthy for the presence of the [[First FedCom RCT]], the unit built around the regiment of 'Mechs [[Melissa Steiner]] gave [[Hanse Davion]] as a wedding present. The news agencies of both the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and Federated Suns paid a great deal of attention to this unit, and the world that was its home. This resulted in a large tourism industry growing up while Gan Singh was part of the [[Sarna March]].<ref name=HB:HLp75/>
