Mizar is unique in the [[Inner Sphere]] as it is the habitable world of a double binary star system. Mizar orbits one pair of the stars ("Mizar A"), while the other pair of stars ("Mizar B") is hundreds of AU distant.<ref name=TtSMp4/> This means that four bright [[Star Type|Type A]] stars perpetually illuminate the world. Moderating the heat generated by these four stars is a large amount of water, which in turn supported a diverse, advanced ecosystem on the young world.<ref name=TtSMp4/>

'''Mizar''' is unique in the [[Inner Sphere]] as it is the central world of a double binary star system. This means that four small [[Star Type|Type A]] stars perpetually illuminate the world. Counteracting the heat generated by these four stars is a large amount of water, which in turn led to several plant lifeforms appearing on the world.<ref name=DARWp189/>
+
====Early History====
−
 
+
For most of its history, Mizar has been a tourist world. New Venice Beach, a kilometers-long stretch of white sand across Mizar's Paradisa continent, provides one of the most famous vistas in the Inner Sphere. Another unique terrain feature on Mizar are the "Plastic Crystal" mountains located in the Utopian Isles. With these two massive tourist attractions and the balmy weather, the Mizarians have become known for their hospitality.<ref name=DARWp192/>

Prior to the [[Amaris Civil War]] Mizar was jointly administered by the Lyran Commonwealth and Terran Hegemony. After the fighting started, [[Rim Worlds Republic]] troops didn't attack the world because the [[LCAF]] had a presence there. Antagonizing another [[Successor State]] while fighting off the [[SLDF]] was a strategic mistake that Amaris' supporters didn't make. In the centuries since the fall of the [[Star League]] Mizar has continued to welcome tourists from across the Inner Sphere.<ref name=DARWp189/>

Following the invasion of the [[Free Worlds League]] by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space across numerous worlds. Mizar was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on the 20th of September [[3068]]. The League would keep control of Mizar until the 7th of January [[3069]], when Lyran Alliance forces recaptured the planet.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> When the [[LAAF]] forces attempted to force [[Word of Blake]] from the [[HPG]] compounds, the Blakist units turned their guns on the compounds themselves and though no vital components of the generators were damaged many supplementary facilities such as barracks and administrative buildings were heavily damaged.<ref name=ARSM/>

The Word of Blake co-opted Mizar into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and kept control over the planet until allied coalition forces on the Lyran front of [[Operation SCOUR]] began landing in March [[3077]]. The campaign to free Mizar was long and damaging for the combined [[LAAF]], [[DCMS]] and [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] forces despite being able to draw on battlefield salvage from earlier battles on [[Yorii]].<ref name="JHS:Tp64+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 64-65, "3077: War In Review"</ref>

Cut off from the post-[[Blackout]] [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] by [[The Wall]], Mizar eventually joined the [[Galatean League]] on 14 April [[3145]]. Only four years later however the planet declared its independence from the League; despite this the [[1st Galatean Defense Force|First Galatean Defense Force]] remained at its post there. <ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 25, "Timeline of Events"</ref><ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 62</ref>

The Mizar system was home to least one inhabited world and as of 3151 was an independent system surrounded by the Galatean League, the Wolf Empire, Clan Jade Falcon, and the Republic of the Sphere[4]

System Description[edit]

Mizar is located near the Alioth and Cor Caroli systems.

Mizar is unique in the Inner Sphere as it is the habitable world of a double binary star system. Mizar orbits one pair of the stars ("Mizar A"), while the other pair of stars ("Mizar B") is hundreds of AU distant.[1] This means that four bright Type A stars perpetually illuminate the world. Moderating the heat generated by these four stars is a large amount of water, which in turn supported a diverse, advanced ecosystem on the young world.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

For most of its history, Mizar has been a tourist world. New Venice Beach, a kilometers-long stretch of white sand across Mizar's Paradisa continent, provides one of the most famous vistas in the Inner Sphere. Another unique terrain feature on Mizar are the "Plastic Crystal" mountains located in the Utopian Isles. With these two massive tourist attractions and the balmy weather, the Mizarians have become known for their hospitality.[3]

By 3025, the culture was noted for displays of wealth and leisure.[2]

Star League Era[edit]

Prior to the Amaris Civil War Mizar was jointly administered by the Lyran Commonwealth and Terran Hegemony. After the fighting started, Rim Worlds Republic troops didn't attack the world because the LCAF had a presence there. Antagonizing another Successor State while fighting off the SLDF was a strategic mistake that Amaris' supporters didn't make. In the centuries since the fall of the Star League Mizar has continued to welcome tourists from across the Inner Sphere.[3]

Third Succession War[edit]

In 3020, Katrina Steiner, the Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth, would offer employment to the Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit. Jaime Wolf would accept the offer and the world of Mizar was provided as a base of operations for the unit's forces.[20]

The Jihad[edit]

Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN, Marshall Jeremy Brett took command of the local FWLM and launched a counteroffensive, under the name Operation BROKEN FIST. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space across numerous worlds. Mizar was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on 20 September 3068. The League would keep control of Mizar until 7 January 3069, when Lyran Alliance forces recaptured the planet.[33] When the LAAF forces attempted to force Word of Blake from the HPG compounds, the Blakist units turned their guns on the compounds themselves and though no vital components of the generators were damaged many supplementary facilities such as barracks and administrative buildings were heavily damaged.[34]

The Word of Blake co-opted Mizar into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and kept control over the planet until allied coalition forces on the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR began landing in March 3077. The campaign to free Mizar was long and damaging for the combined LAAF, DCMS, and Clan Wolf-in-Exile forces despite being able to draw on battlefield salvage from earlier battles on Yorii.[36]

Dark Age[edit]

Cut off from the post-Blackout Republic by The Wall, Mizar eventually joined the Galatean League on 14 April 3145. Only four years later, however, the planet declared its independence from the League on 12 January 3149; despite this, the First Galatean Defense Force remained at its post there.[45][46]
