	While McEvans' Sacrifice was colonized during the Reunification War era, the planet was considered to be a minor agricultural world; it took the formation of the New Colony Region for McEvans' Sacrifice to be considered for wider development, driven by the discovery of large, readily accessible ore deposits. As the population and industrial development on McEvans' Sacrifice expanded, pirate raids increased steadily. The increased threat from pirates led to the presence of numerous small bands of mercenaries being employed to protect the mining camps, and the mercenary population became large enough that it drove its own cottage industries in both gambling and arena fighting.<ref name=OTPFR-4/>		While McEvans' Sacrifice was colonized during the Reunification War era, the planet was considered to be a minor agricultural world; it took the formation of the New Colony Region for McEvans' Sacrifice to be considered for wider development, driven by the discovery of large, readily accessible ore deposits.

−	In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]], the pirate bands plaguing the Reaches became organized enough to set up a system for conducting raids that would ensure that their frequent raids didn't overlap in timing or target.

As the population and industrial development on McEvans' Sacrifice expanded, pirate raids increased steadily. The increased threat from pirates led to the presence of numerous small bands of mercenaries being employed to protect the mining camps, and the mercenary population became large enough that it drove its own cottage industries in both gambling and arena fighting.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> The arena fights led to semiannual tournaments in which the best [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] fought each other, with the bouts broadcast throughout the Fronc Reaches; however, the rigid timing of the tournaments encouraged pirates to plan their raids to take advantage of when the best of the mercenary opposition was occupied by the bouts. The pirates not only looted the production from the mines, but also stole agricultural goods and engaged in widespread slaving.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> By the closing years of the [[Thirty-first century]] so many people from McEvans' Sacrifice had been enslaved and carried offworld that the local population referred to themselves as "Sacrifices". The [[Colonial Marshals]] didn't participate in the tournaments, and subsequently attracted the greater proportion of the blame from the locals for the success of the pirate raids.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> McEvans' Sacrifice drew its name from the heroic efforts of one [[Angus McEvans]], who—during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]—single-handedly fought off a [[company]] of raiders in his ''[[Banshee_(BattleMech)|Banshee]]'', killing the pirate leader by crushing his 'Mech's head. McEvans was grappling with another pirate when his ammunition exploded, killing both the pirate and himself, breaking the morale of the rest and sending them fleeing off-world.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> Following [[Dirk McEvans]]' assuming command of the Colonial Marshals, the population of McEvans' Sacrifice became even more bitter towards the Marshals; this was due to his being the great-great-grandson of [[Angus McEvans]], increasing the perception the Marshals regarded them as an afterthought when it came to defending the Reaches.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]], the pirate bands plaguing the Reaches became organized enough to set up a system for conducting raids that would ensure that their frequent raids didn't overlap in timing or target. The Colonial Marshals decided to enact a plan to seed tempting targets with false information pointing towards a lucrative target on the nearby world of [[Independence]], in an effort to lure some of the pirates into an ambush. On McEvan's Sacrifice, that plan went awry; the large, well-organized pirate band known as the [[Abominari]] raided the gem district in Caribou Call in early July [[3088]]. The district was guarded by a number of Colonial Marshals and elements of the planetary militia, but the Abomninari killed the Marshals in combat and the militia fled, leaving the pirates free to plunder the district. The Abominari took their time looting, but failed to find the false intelligence that had been planted in an effort to lure them to Independence. Fortunately for the Reaches - although not for the people of McEvans' Sacrifice - the Abominari were actually operating from a concealed base located near the ambush site on Independence.<ref name="OTP:FRp8">''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 8, "Periphery Pirate Plague"</ref><ref name="OTP:FRp27">''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 27, "Touchpoint: Pointless Sacrifice"</ref><ref name="OTP:FRp27">''Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches'', p. 27, "Touchpoint: Pointless Sacrifice"</ref> The planetary flag of McEvans' Sacrifice is the red silhouette of a ''Banshee'' BattleMech against a black background.<ref name=OTPFR-4/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Political Affiliation == == Planetary Rulers == --> == Military Deployment == ===3085=== * [[Colonial Marshals]] (shared with [[Fronc]])<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 151, "Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> ===3145=== * [[First Fronc Cuirassiers]] (shared with [[Portland]])<ref name="FM:3145p203">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 203, "Fronc Reaches"</ref> :* First Fronc Air Wing :* First Fronc Infantry <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Geography == == Planetary Locations == == Industrial Centers == == Image gallery == --> == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (13 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Independence]] | class="lessthan30" | 22.2 | class="lessthan30" | [[Contrilla]] | class="lessthan30" | 23.8 | class="lessthan30" | [[Chandan|Chaadan]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.5 | class="over30" | [[Highwater]] | class="over30" | 30.7 |- | class="over30" | [[Mantharaka|Don't]] | class="over30" | 31.5 | class="over30" | [[Tiverton|Tiburon]] | class="over30" | 36.7 | class="over30" | [[Fronc]] | class="over30" | 43.7 | class="over30" | [[Rockwellawan]] | class="over30" | 44.4 |- | class="over30" | [[Spencer]] | class="over30" | 48.1 | class="over30" | [[Portland]] | class="over30" | 50.2 | class="over30" | [[Cygnus (system)|Cygnus]] | class="over30" | 53.5 | class="over30" | [[Appian]] | class="over30" | 53.5 |- | class="over30" | [[Polybius]] | class="over30" | 57.1 | class="over60" | [[Bellerophon (system)|Bellerophon]] | class="over60" | 60.5 | class="over60" | [[Sacromonte]] | class="over60" | 63.3 | class="over60" | [[Detroit]] | class="over60" | 71.6 |- | class="over60" | [[Addasar]] | class="over60" | 72.0 | class="over60" | [[Coromodir]] | class="over60" | 73.2 | class="over60" | [[Nuncavoy]] | class="over60" | 74.4 | class="over60" | [[Tarragona]] | class="over60" | 75.1 |- |} == References == <references/> == Bibliography == <div class="desktop-3-col"> * ''[[BattleTech (video game)|BattleTech]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Periphery]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (Sourcebook)|First Succession War]]'' * ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)]]'' * ''[[Inner Sphere (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Operational Turning Points: Fronc Reaches]]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|The Periphery, First Edition]]'' * ''[[The Periphery, 2nd Edition|The Periphery, Second Edition]]'' * ''[[Second Succession War (sourcebook)|Second Succession War]]'' </div> [[Category:Systems|McEvans' Sacrifice]] [[Category: Fronc Reaches Systems]] [[Category: New Colony Region Systems]]
