Planetary History
Roche was the capital of the former Clan Widowmaker. During the last battles of the Trial of Absorption of Clan Widowmaker by Clan Wolf in 2834, several Scorpion warriors watched as Clan Wolf forces pursued the remaining forces of Clan Widowmaker into the abandoned city of Porthos. There the Widowmakers sprung a trap on the unsuspecting Wolf forces and taunted them with their imminent death. Ethan Moreau, the Goliath Scorpion Loremaster, driven by his own surkairede to defend Nicholas Kerensky and his kin (aka Clan Wolf) charged his Black Knight mech into the city to attack the Widowmakers and save the Wolf unit. Both Wolf and Scorpion forces joined against the Widowmakers and were able to escape the trap, but with heavy casualties. At first, Clan Wolf was furious at the Scorpions for interfering with the Trial of Absorption, but Wolf Khan Jerome Winson eventually accepted Moreau's interference as an honor debt to Nicholas Kerensky. Clan Wolf would later ceded the Scorpions much of the Widowmaker enclave on Roche, including the Widowmaker's military headquarters in the massive fortress of Spiderholm. Roche would soon become the capital of Clan Goliath Scorpion.
Roche is also home to the Goliath Scorpions underground museum where they keep relics and items from the Star League that they have discovered, captured from rival clans or brought from the Inner Sphere.[2]
