===Planetary Geography===
 +
Blessed with mild seasons, expansive seas and fertile soil that led to thick vegetation developing on the major landmasses, '''Muphrid''' has three major continents in the temperate zone: MacArthur, Ridgeway and Shamrock. Of the three continents MacArthur lies furthest south, whilst Shamrock is in the northeast; to the west of Shamrock is Ridgeway.<ref name=DA:RWp244/> The northwestern coast of Shamrock is covered in thick forests and rolling hills, and is rich in precious metals. The eastern region of Shamrock is dominated by mountains kept perpetually in winter, while the southern portion of Shamrock is covered in jungle.<ref name=FC:CWp200/>
 +
 +
In contrast with Shamrock, the continent of Ridgeway is dominated by two distinct regions; one half of the continent consists of large agricultural sectors, while the remainder consists of gravel mines and pits. The third continent, MacArthur, lies mostly in the equator and is dominated by thick jungle.<ref name=FC:CWp200/>
 +
 +
Muphrid also has a humid equatorial belt with wide stretches of teeming jungles.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 197, "30th Jump Infantry Division"</ref>

Settled within a few months of the colonization of the nearby world of [[Thorin]],<ref name=DA:RWp244/> Muphrid was one of the first worlds to be colonized by humanity.<ref name="DARW(3130)p253">''Dark Age Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 253: "Thorin"</ref> Drawing on Thorin's example, Muphrid enacted strict zoning laws to preserve Muphrid's natural beauty, carefully limiting industrial expansion. The continent of MacArthur was declared to be a low-technology area and would remain almost completely untamed, with the few settlements there devoted to farming, logging and fishing; the continent would continue to be largely dominated by thick, untouched jungles thereafter.<ref name=DA:RWp244/>

The settlers designated Shamrock as the industrial region of Muphrid, while Ridgeway was exploited for both mining and agriculture. The zoning laws put in place influenced the development of the settlements on each continent; Ridgeway went on to develop smaller towns than the cities of Shamrock and those towns would be a mixture of settlements dedicated to granite and ore mining or a mix of agricultural communities and ranches.<ref name=DA:RWp244/>

The [[Star League Defense Force]] established a number of [[Castles Brian]] on Muphrid, but those hidden complexes that survived the [[Amaris Civil War]] were destroyed during or just after the fall of the Star League. Despite the destruction of the various military fortresses rumors would persist for centuries that the Star League had hidden a research facility deep in the jungles of MacArthur, and innumerable groups of explorers would launch expeditions into the jungles in pursuit of the facility and the secrets it might hold.<ref name=DA:RWp244/>

====FedCom Accords====
 
Once a respected member of Steiner High Command, [[General]] [[Lionel Stanz]] was vehemently opposed to Steiner's alliance with House Davion and he resigned in frustration. In early [[3028]], Steiner intelligence learned that Stanz had stolen a [[Killer Whale#Variants|Peacemaker]] nuclear device and was threatening to cleanse the [[Skye Province]] of foreigners, of which Muphrid had heavy immigrant populations from the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Draconis Combine]]. Because Stanz still had supporters inside Lyran command, a [[mercenary]] unit was contracted to intervene. They destroyed two relay stations and the remote detonator on Muphrid to prevent Stanz from launching the nuke, but he was able to escape off-world with it. [[Lyran Intelligence Corps#Loki|Loki]] agents tracked Stanz's [[JumpShip]] to [[Summer]], where the [[Fifth Lyran Guards]] and mercenaries were able to capture the warhead and kill Stanz in the process.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', "Stop the Launch"</ref>

====FedCom Civil War====
In mid-[[3062]], Lyran [[General of the Armies]] [[Nondi Steiner]] deployed two battalions of the [[Fifteenth Arcturan Guards]] to Muphrid, while deploying the third battalion to nearby Thorin as part of efforts to head off discontent and a potential civil uprising within the Federated Commonwealth's [[Freedom Theater]]. Tensions continued to mount on Thorin, with revolution breaking out on the 8th of December after the death of prominent journalist - who also happened to be the brother of [[Leutnant-Colonel]] [[Archer Christifori]], commander of the militia on Thorin and war hero.<ref name="FCCWp34"/>

Deadlocked on Thorin, [[Colonel]] [[Felix Blucher]] of the Fifteenth dispatched orders in early January [[3063]] for the Guards' second battalion to relocate from Muphrid to Thorin. Tipped off by informants, Christifori deployed and led a strike team to Muphrid. Christifori's 'Mechs and DropShips landed very close to the Guards' second battalion at the Calenaton Spaceport, allowing him to quickly destroy one of the battalion's three grounded DropShips. After the Guards surrendered, Christifori spent two weeks preparing and then took his forces back to Thorin, this time using the two surviving DropShips from the Guards' second battalion. Christifori then used those DropShips in a gambit against Blucher that led to Blucher's surrender on the 2nd of February 3063. As part of the agreement, Blucher left his equipment behind on Thorin, took his troops to Muphrid to rejoin the Guards' third battalion, and then withdraw all of his forces to [[Lyons]].<ref name="FCCWp34"/>

By the end of December 3079, Muphrid was one of more than twenty planets to have suffered an outbreak of the [[Redburn Virus]], and one of eight to suffer from an infection rate of more than 150 out of every 100,000 people, as well as a mortality rate of more than 30 per 100,000 from the virus.<ref name="J:FRp13">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 13: "Plagued By Blake"</ref>

====The Dark Age====
During the [[Dark Age]], the population of Muphrid repaired the majority of the damage inflicted on their world during the Jihad, and the world continued to retain much of its natural splendor, while the population continued their lives as they had always done. Memorials to those who fell defending the planet against the Blakists were erected in the capital city of New Dublin as well as in Calenaton, Mechanicsburg and Port MacArthur.<ref name=DA:RWp244/>

Following the [[Blackout]], Muphrid was isolated from the Inner Sphere at large until [[3149]] by [[Fortress Republic]]. After [[The Wall|the Wall]] was dropped Muphrid fell to [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in November [[3150]] during [[Malvina Hazen|Malvina Hazen's]] dash for [[Terra]].<ref name="ER:3145p10"/><ref name=SFp101/><ref name=SFp103/>

===Geography===
 
Blessed with mild seasons, expansive seas, and fertile soil that led to thick vegetation developing on the major landmasses, Muphrid has three major continents in the temperate zone: MacArthur, Ridgeway, and Shamrock. MacArthur lies furthest south, Shamrock is in the northeast, and to the west of Shamrock is Ridgeway.<ref name=DA:RWp244/> The northwestern coast of Shamrock is covered in thick forests and rolling hills and is rich in precious metals. The eastern region of Shamrock is dominated by mountains kept perpetually in winter, while the southern portion of Shamrock is covered in jungle.<ref name=FC:CWp200/>
 
 
 
In contrast with Shamrock, the continent of Ridgeway is dominated by two distinct regions: one half of the continent consists of large agricultural sectors, while the remainder consists of gravel mines and pits. The third continent, MacArthur, lies mostly in the equator and is dominated by wide stretches of humid, thick jungles.<ref name=FC:CWp200/><ref name=FM:SLDFp187>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 197: "30th Jump Infantry Division"</ref>
 
 
 
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
 
In the ''[[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries]]'' [[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries/High Reward Quests|High Reward Quest]] "Stop the Launch," Muphrid is depicted three times as an iron oxide biome with first good visibility, and later reduced/restricted visibility.<ref name=MW5M/>

==Notes==
 
* In German products, the planet's proper name was altered to '''Murphrid'''. The reason is unclear, since the common German transliteration from the star system's traditional Arab name ''mufrad ar-rāmiḥ'' would be ''Mufrid''. The error appears for the first time in [[FanPro]]'s 1995 original publication ''[[Atlas der Inneren Sphäre]]'' and replicates for instance throughout all German translations of BattleTech novels around [[FedCom Civil War]], in which the planet is repeatedly mentioned.
