Planetary Description

Proserpina is an mineral rich and industrialized world that serves as a prefecture capital within the Benjamin Military District. Its factories produce everything from children's toys to military equipment for interstellar shipment. This concentration of wealth made it a frequent target during the Succession Wars and it bears the scars of the centuries of fighting. Its strategic location also ensures it is usually heavily garrisoned.[2]

Planetary History

Star League

During the final years of the Star League, Proserpina was the host to a Star League Defense Force garrison.[46]

Succession Wars

Early Succession Wars

After the fall of the Star League the world faced nearly constant raids by the Federated Suns. During one of these raids, the defending DCMS forces used a nerve gas to destroy the invaders but also killed approximately 60% of the planet's civilian and military population. As a result the planet's surface is mostly poisonous after combat during the Succession Wars; In fact two of its five continents (Amerigo and Greater Harpago)[47] are totally uninhabitable.[1]

Late Succession Wars

In 3024, the Black Widow Company would achieve a notable victory defending Proserpina against a Federated Suns assault.[48]

By 3025, the planet had been the object of seven major battles between the Draconis Combine and the Federated Suns.[3]

Apocryphal Content Starts

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 1.872 billion for Proserpina and describes the environment as "desert" (out of only three impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert", "ice", or "tropical").

Apocryphal Content Ends

Civil War

In 3066, despite the years that have passed since the wars both the air and water on planet surface are still contaminated. Yet the rich minerals of the planet and well developed industry bring prosperity to its inhabitants, even if they do need to wear environmental suits and breathing masks.[3]

The location of Proserpina on the Federated Suns border insures that the DCMS has kept a strong defensive force in place on the world, as well as establishing an extensive network of refit and rearm points for defending troops. In addition to the military forces on world, the planet also hosts the University of Proserpina, a military academy that has consistently turned out high-quality graduates for the DCMS.[47]

Dark Age

The Ryuken-san were stationed on Proserpina in 3087 when the Robinson Rangers launched a raid against the planet, looking to hit the Bulldog Technologies factory. The raiding force fell afoul of a defending Ryuken-san force that included a pair of the new Pegasus (X-Pulse) hovertanks. The two hovertanks were able to savage the raiding force, forcing them to abort the raid, but a Rangers Locust managed to hit one of the lift fans on one of the two hovertanks with a lucky shot; the damaged Pegasus made contact with the ground briefly before tearing itself apart in the resulting cartwheel through the air, destroying the vehicle and killing the crew.[49]

Notes

It is stated in the Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook that the Dragoons made another raid on Proserpina in 3026 to harass Davion forces. However, there is no evidence that the Federated Suns controlled Proserpina at that time. This information is considered incorrect until such time as corroborating information can be found.[68]
