−	Unfortunately for the Falcons they paid no attention to the effects their assault had on the ecology, angering the residents.

Wars and battles raged over the world for most of its early history until the Lyran Commonwealth annexed the system. The Commonwealth used a series of economic initiatives and martial law to restore order and make Pandora a prosperous member of the nation.<ref name=MM134/> The largest continent, Kaos, is home to the planet's capital city and the Red Devil plant. Limbo is the second largest continent, and was the site of some of the most damaging battles from Pandora's pre-Commonwealth history. Though [[Star League]] engineers began a project to fix the damage, the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] and the corresponding loss of technology greatly slowed the project. The terraformers were lucky to maintain the fixes that they'd already made. Only with the discovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] and the assistance of Clan Jade Falcon's Scientist Caste has the recovery effort begun to make progress. Echo and Nirvana produce a great deal of food for the rest of Pandora's population as well as light industry. Nirvana is also home to a large number of communes that live according to their own beliefs. Clan Jade Falcon has largely left these communes alone, both because they are isolated from the main population and they produce some trade goods.<ref name=MM134/> ===Planetary History=== ====Clan Invasion==== In 3052, the [[Gray Death Legion]] was charged with Pandora's security. When the 5th Wave of the Clan Invasion began, the [[Gray Death Legion]] found themselves once again facing the superior forces of [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. Deploying upgraded battle armor suites (modified by Legion techs), the Gray Death Legion were able to hand Clan Jade Falcon a rare defeat, thus keeping Pandora out of Jade Falcons hands temporarily.<ref name=ER:3052p40>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 40: Mercenaries - Gray Death Legion</ref> For many years, the capital city was Needgate. The city was heavily damaged in [[3052]] by fighting between the Falcons and the Gray Death Legion mercenary force. The city was so damaged that the local governmental functions were moved to Deliverance and Needgate was left as a monument to the ''dezgra'' behavior of mercenaries.<ref name=O:TCp13/> ====FedCom Civil War==== During the [[FedCom Civil War]], after the [[Third Lyran Guards]] were transferred to defend other worlds closer to the [[Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone]], Clan Jade Falcon struck in [[3064]]. With only the [[Pandora College Training Battalion]] and a few militia regiments on world, while the [[Lyran Alliance]] defenders fought valiantly the Falcon's [[124th Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|124th Striker]] and [[Jade Falcon Eyrie (Clan Jade Falcon)|Jade Falcon Eyrie]] [[Cluster]]s defeated them within three weeks, simultaneously capturing the Pandora Theater's command center intact. <ref name=MM134/> Unfortunately for the Falcons they paid no attention to the effects their assault had on the ecology, angering the residents. Rather than openly oppose the Falcons, however, most of the Pandorans used passive resistance methods like sick-outs and working half-heartedly for their new governors. Strikes and sick-outs were common at Red Devil Industries. The Falcons tried to use force to improve production, but this backfired when riots and sabotage became common. Finally the [[Watch]] determined the cause of the problem: The Pandorans were both proud of and ashamed of their planet and its ecological problems. [[Khan]] [[Marthe Pryde]] assigned several scientists to restart the Star League reclamation project, and relations between the natives and the Falcons improved began to slowly show sign of cooling.<ref name=MM134/> ====Dark Age==== In December [[3109]], [[Clan Wolf]] raided Pandora, relying on intelligence provided by [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]]. The raid ran into more trouble than the raiders expected, but weakened the Jade Falcon defenders. The Lyran Commonwealth successfully invaded soon afterwards, in early [[3110]].<ref name=S3AP:KSD/> At some time during the Dark Age when the planet was held by Clan Jade Falcon, Wolf's Dragoons, under contract from the Lyran Commonwealth raided the planet and were able to take some 'Mech with them.<ref name="MWDADPCp12">''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 12: "Collin Yukinov profile"</ref> ===Military Deployment=== {{columns-start|num=3}} ====3038==== * [[Pandora College Training Battalion]]<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 138: "Deployment Table"</ref> ====3050==== * [[388th Division (ComStar)]]<ref name=20YU71>''20 Year Update'', p. 71: "Com Guards Deployment Table"</ref> * Pandora College Training Battalion<ref name=20YU26>''20 Year Update'', p. 26: "Federated Commonwealth Deployment Table"</ref> ====3052==== * [[Gray Death Legion]]<ref name=ER:3052p40/> ====3054==== * [[Fourth Davion Guards]] [[RCT]] <ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 56: "Unit Note"</ref><ref name=MEp>''Main Event'', p. ?</ref> * [[Tenth FedCom RCT]]<ref name=OR22/><ref name=MEp/> * Pandora College Training Battalion<ref name=OR22>''Objective Raids'', p. 22: "FedCom Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=MEp/> {{column}} ====3061==== * [[Third Donegal Guards]] [[RCT]]<ref name=SS48>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 48: "Lyran Alliance Deployment Table"</ref> ====3079==== * [[18th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighteenth Falcon Regulars]]<ref name=O:TCp13/><ref>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 15: "Clan Jade Falcon Deployment Status"</ref> ====3085==== * [[1st Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Jaegers]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 125: "Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> {{columns-end}} ===Geography=== Pandora is a world with seven continents: Kaos, Limbo, Nirvana, Vestiga, Haven Islands, Megara, and Hyginus.<ref name=O:TCp13/> The polar continent of Vestiga has little to offer besides ice caps and sparse wildlife.<ref name=MM134/> ===Planetary Locations=== * Arcadia: a rainy, flatlands location on the continent of Limbo; home of the planetary militia<ref name=O:TCp13/> * Athena: a snowy, mountainous location on the continent of Haven Islands; home to a Quikscell factory<ref name=O:TCp13/> * Kaos (continent) ** Deliverance: planetary capital city after 3052<ref name=MM134/><ref name=O:TCp13/> ** Needgate: planetary capital until 3052<ref name=O:TCp13/><ref name=DoHp8>''Day of Heroes'', p. 8</ref> * Resen Badlands<ref name=EoT:Dc25>''Elements of Treason: Duty'', ch. 25</ref> * Vandmaal: a town in the jungle<ref name=DoHp8/> * Vandmaal Crossing: a crossroads near Vandmaal<ref name=DoHp8/> ===Companies and Industries=== * [[Red Devil Industries]]<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 13: "Red Devil Industries"</ref> * [[Quikscell Company]]<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 13: "Quikscell Company"</ref> ==Notes== * ''[[Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers]]'' identifies only five continents on Pandora, four of which are included in ''[[Objectives: The Clans]]''.
