Planetary Info

Panpour was originally classed as a marginal world ill-suited to colonization. It wasn't until the Reunification War that this status changed. The SLDF and AFFS needed a logistical center near the Periphery and Panpour fit the bill. Directed terraforming efforts moved more slowly than the industrial capability that grew on the world almost overnight. Careful immigration and harsh population control measures were needed for centuries as Panpour slowly developed the agricultural needed to feed the population. Today the immigration laws have been loosened, but the custom of having few children lives on.[1]

Star League Era

At the height of the Star League Panpour was the location of a significant percentage of the Federated Suns heavy naval manufacturing industry; by 2765 with the massive manufacturing facilities at Galax yet to come online, Panpour and the worlds of Delavan, Kathil and Layover were responsible for ninety percent of all large naval craft manufactured inside the Federated Suns. Panpour was also home to a significant proportion of the defense manufacturing that supplied the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. While the overall manufacturing base of the Federated Suns was highly dispersed and diversified, a core group of worlds - New Avalon, Crofton, Kathil, Panpour, Salem and Talcott - supplied move than half of all the equipment used by the AFFS.[35]

Thirty-first Century

Panpour continues to serve the AFFS as the home of several military industries. Nearly every citizen of Panpour is either employed by these industries or in food-production efforts.[1]

After the Jihad Panpour became part of the Periphery March.[2] Panpour was raided by forces from the Taurian Concordat on the the 11th of February 3075, with the Taurians inflicting critical damage on the Jalastar Aerospace BattleMech production lines.[36][37][38]

Notes

The third planet in the Panpour system (Panpur III) is described as a regular planet in most sources. In the BattleCorps story The Theseus Knot it is mentioned as a gas giant. This has officially been described as an oversight[42]. It stands to reason that a gas giant may exist at another orbital in the Panpour system (e.g. Panpour IV), but no canonical ruling exists to either confirm or deny this beyond stating that the story was apparently in error about Panpour III.
