Planetary History
Mechdur, along with Coromodir VI, Guldra, and Itrom, were originally settled by the Free Worlds League as part of a privately funded expedition that followed in the wake of the settlement of Taurus.[32] However, significant growth did not come until after the Reunification War, when Mechdur was located in the Sian Commonality of the Capellan Confederation, close to the border with the Taurian Concordat and near the worlds of Mangzhangdian and Umgard.[3] After the Reunification War the Capellan confederation built several industrial complexes there.[33]. The colony was judged a failure due to an inefficient bureaucracy, and the Capellans withdrew, leaving the local hereditary oligarchy in control.[1] The system vanished from the maps used by the Inner Sphere during the 1st Succession War.[6][10]
The industrial system of Mechdur was the first to join the new Aurigan Coalition after its formation in 2910. Its wealth and technology, both legacies of Capellan occupation and development, were critical to the continued growth of the Coalition government. The Coalition offered trade concessions along with access to their burgeoning markets to sweeten the deal, which were enough to bring the oligarchs of Mechdur to the negotiating table and to add them to the new country.[33]
By 3026, Mechdur was a hub for major industry in the region, turning out consumer goods as well as BattleMech weapons. Each of the worlds three continents had its own major starport. Space stations served passenger and cargo traffic around the recharge station, and there are small settlements supporting manufacturing and the sciences elsewhere in the system.[1]
Geography
The planet has three continents.[1]
