Harrow's Sun II, more commonly known simply as Harrow's Sun, is the second planet in the system and has two moons named Boon and Bane. Only 43% of the world is covered in water so there is a large land area for use.  The oceans are heavily alkaline and filled with life that is incompatible with human digestion.  There are also large polar icecaps that are largely ignored.  Historically, the world has been struck many times during the Succession Wars due to its location between the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine.  With a large land area and a need for military facilities, the southern area of the Briseis continent is used for military facilities, massive military training exercises and hosting a regular contingent of troops used in OpFor operations.  Most of the planet's heavy industry is concentrated on the continent of Paris while the continent of Priam focuses on agriculture.  The world has arguably some of the best vineyards in the Inner Sphere.  On Bane, one of Harrow's Sun's moons, an [[AFFS]] marine regiment was permanently stationed with a fleet of boarding shuttles and [[DropShip]]s plus two wings of aerospace fighters while under the control of the Federated Suns.<ref name=OTPDtM5/>

====Third Succession War====
In [[3002]] the Combine launched another assault on the world with a task force that included the [[Eighth Sword of Light]] and [[Fourth Proserpina Hussars]]. Officially the third battle for Harrow's Sun, the invasion went poorly for the [[DCMS]] due to the meddling of [[Coordinator]] [[Hohiro Kurita I|Hohiro Kurita]]. The DCMS was defeated despite having the advantage of numbers and one of the well-trained [[Sword of Light]] regiments. <ref name="HKp87">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 87, "Military Revival"</ref><ref name=TRO3025-104>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 104</ref><ref name=TRO3025-082>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 82</ref>

Harrow's Sun
Harrow's Sun 3151.svg
System Information
X:Y Coordinates261.847 : 71.038[e]
Spectral classG1V[1]
Recharge time182 hours[2]
Recharge station(s)Zenith[1]

The Harrow's Sun system was the location of at least one habitable world, Harrow's Sun II, and as of 3152 was located within the Draconis Combine.[3]

System Description

Harrow's Sun is located near the Bergman's Planet and New Aberdeen systems[4] and consists of a class G1V primary orbited by at least two worlds. It lies Spinward from Terra. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the system zenith jump point.[1][3]

System History

The Harrow's Sun system was colonized during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra[5] and was incorporated into or annexed by the Federated Suns at some point during or prior to the Age of War.[6][7]

Harrow's Sun II, more commonly known simply as Harrow's Sun, is the second planet in the system and has two moons named Boon and Bane. Only 43% of the world is covered in water so there is a large land area for use. The oceans are heavily alkaline and filled with life that is incompatible with human digestion. There are also large polar icecaps that are largely ignored. Historically, the world has been struck many times during the Succession Wars due to its location between the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine. With a large land area and a need for military facilities, the southern area of the Briseis continent is used for military facilities, massive military training exercises and hosting a regular contingent of troops used in OpFor operations. Most of the planet's heavy industry is concentrated on the continent of Paris while the continent of Priam focuses on agriculture. The world has arguably some of the best vineyards in the Inner Sphere. On Bane, one of Harrow's Sun's moons, an AFFS marine regiment was permanently stationed with a fleet of boarding shuttles and DropShips plus two wings of aerospace fighters while under the control of the Federated Suns.[1]

Planetary History

First Succession War

Harrow's Sun was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[14] Harrow's Sun was liberated by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in 2811 as part of the third and final major AFFS counteroffensive of the First Succession War against the Draconis Combine.[15]

Third Succession War

Third Battle for Harrow's Sun

In 3002 the Combine launched another assault on the world with a task force that included the Eighth Sword of Light and Fourth Proserpina Hussars. Officially the third battle for Harrow's Sun, the invasion went poorly for the DCMS due to the meddling of Coordinator Hohiro Kurita. The DCMS was defeated despite having the advantage of numbers and one of the well-trained Sword of Light regiments.[23][51][52]

Fourth Battle for Harrow's Sun

The DCMS launched a new assault against Harrow's Sun in 3020.[53][54][55]

Post–Third Succession War

After their victory on Misery in 3028, Wolf's Dragoons fled the Draconis Combine and arrived at Fort Belvoir on Harrow's Sun in the Federated Suns. There they met Leftenant General Ardan Sortek, personal aide to First Prince Hanse Davion. Ardan Sortek brought supplies, technicians and additional BattleMechs and aerospace fighters to help replace some of the Dragoons' losses. From mid-June to mid-July, Jaime Wolf and Ardan Sortek conferred on the upcoming events of the Fourth Succession War and how the Draconis Combine would react.[56]

Fifth Battle of Harrow's Sun

In 3028, Wolf's Dragoons would again face off against the Draconis Combine in the Fifth Battle of Harrow's Sun.[57]
