Owner History

Planetary Info

Marcus is a hostile world with an oppressive atmosphere. Settled in the early years of the Terran Hegemony to exploit the abundant radioactive materials, Marcus eventually hosted Orguss Industries. During the Amaris Civil War the Rim Worlds troops garrisoning the world forced the population to work triple shifts at the BattleMech plant and in the uranium mines. After five years of occupation nearly three million people of the planet's population was killed in mines and factories.[1]

The fall of the Star League found the Free Worlds League in possession of Marcus. Though the industrial complexes were valuable to the Free Worlds, they also made Marcus a tempting target for raids from the Commonwealth. After centuries of raids and damage, the planet's economy was in decline and Marcus' future looked bleak. This led to a short lived cult that encouraged suicide as a way of reaching "Culmination". The cult was short lived as its members eventually killed themselves.[1]

The Word of Blake incorporated Marcus into the Protectorate during the Jihad, but Marcus was liberated by allied coalition forces at some point in early 3077 as a part of Operation SCOUR. The Word of Blake responded by dispatching a combination of hired mercenary and pirate forces to retake Marcus on the 11th of August; the coalition forces[9] including the 20th Marik Militia[11] had no choice but to retreat to the nearby world of Dieudonne.[9]
