Overview

Though the former capital of the Draconis Combine now resembles a "ghost world" it still boasts the Internal Security College, the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy, and four major factory complexes. During the Jihad, Kiyomori Minamoto temporarily relocated the capital to New Samarkand from the 10th of November 3068 while Luthien was under siege.[2][3]

In spite of its nearly deserted status, the relocation of the Combine's capital and governmental apparatus to the system has had a major effect on the Draconis Combine. After the destruction of Galedon V New Samarkand was made the capital world of the former Galedon Military District, now named the New Samarkand Military District.[1]

In addition to these command duties, New Samarkand in 3079 hosts seven military manufacturing concerns, several of which relocated to New Samarkand after being driven off their main worlds.[4]

It was from New Samarkand that Coordinator Hohiro Kurita made an announcement on the 25th of May 3079 confirming that he was married to Lady Fiona Kurita, and that they had two sons, Shinjiro and Vincent. By this point, the Coordinator's marriage had been a closely-guarded secret for at least 22 years, and Hohiro stated both family tradition and security concerns as reasons for concealing the existence of his wife and children prior to the announcement.[5] On the 1st of May 3081, Hohiro Kurita formally recognised the existence of the Republic of the Sphere in an address given from the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy.[6]
