History
Origins
The settlements on Achernar were founded by the Achernar family. By 2344 Achernar was a possession of the Terran Hegemony.[1] The Hegemony had initiated two "Campaigns of Persuasion" to occupy former Terran Alliance worlds by force, and by 2335 had expanded as far as Nanking.[2] Nanking was the furthest world from Terra to have been occupied by that point, but the Tikonov Grand Union went to war with the Terran Hegemony between 2336 and 2338 over the Chisholm Protectorate, a nation which included Nanking and which had been attacked or conquered by the Hegemony. The Hegemony was ultimately victorious in this conflict, and continually sided with the Free Worlds League and the Federated Suns when it came to settling or influencing any disputes either nation had with any of the various nations of the Capellan Zone.[3]
In 2344 Reynard Davion used two Federated Suns task forces to stage demonstrations of strength around Mirach to keep the attention of the Grand Union and it's armed forces focused there; Reynard then used this distraction to use a reserve task force to launch a highly successful attack on Almach, another world that had been contested between the Tikonov Union and the Marlette Association prior to the Association's merge into the Federated Suns. Reynard's reserve task force had been mustered at Achernar, which was on the Capellan border at the time,[4] and was therefore likely to have been mustered with either tacit or open approval from the Terran Hegemony.
The Star League
During the Star League, the Achernar family established Achernar BattleMechss to produce the Dervish for the Star League Defense Force. After the fall of the Star League, the Achernar noble family immigrated to the Federated Suns, but the cost of the immigration was moving the Achernar BattleMechs factory to New Avalon. The Capellan Confederation took control of the world before the First Succession War. The Fourth Succession War would return Achernar to the noble family that bore its name. After their return, the Achernar family established Achernar IndustrialMechs on Achernar.[1]
