'''Chekaar''' is a planet that, as of ca. 3024, was situated within the [[Draconis Combine]]'s [[Rasalhague Military District]]. [[Hassid Ricol]] was [[Duke of Chekaar]] at this time.<ref name=DTR27>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 27</ref>

Ricol's war leader, [[Harimandir Singh]], was a native of Chekaar<ref name=DTR27/> and at one point longed for the crystal clear skies and gleaming salt flats of his home desert.<ref>''Decision at Thunder Rift'', ch. 17</ref>

Since it does not show up on any star maps under this name and considering the official ruling that all systems in the [[Inner Sphere]] have been mapped by now, Chekaar is implied to be a secondary planet in a system going by a different name. Possible systems include the [[Rodigo]] system, the birthplace of Duke Hassid Ricol which is also named as the seat of his power in [[apocryphal]] sources,<ref>''BattleTechnology'', Issue #0102, p. 4</ref> or the [[Kaesong]] system that replaced Chekaar in the German translation of the only source ever naming it.

 +
In ''[[Tamar Rising]]'', an inset chronicling the history of the Ricol family and their Duchy of Rodigo, confirmed Chekaar as a sister world of Rodigo in the same system.  It was one of several of the duchy’s fourteen systems (by 3027) in which the Ricols also controlled interests on secondary planets.

Rodigo was one of the first Lyran worlds to be conquered by the Draconis Combine during the [[First Succession War]]. The defending [[11th Lyran Regulars|Eleventh Lyran Regulars]] were so badly beaten by the [[Twenty-sixth Rasalhague Regulars]] that the Twenty-sixth's commanding General, [[Henri Ricol]], was granted Rodigo as [[House Ricol|House Ricol's]] fief.<ref name=TRp66>''Tamar Rising'', p. 66: "A Return to Old Hunting Grounds"</ref>

====Clan Invasion====
Rodigo was conquered by Clan Wolf during [[Operation REVIVAL]] in May [[3050]]. Initially only [[Trinary|Trinary Command]] of the [[11th Battle (Clan Wolf)|11th Battle Cluster]], under the command of [[Star Colonel]] [[Abioseh Winson]], invaded Rodigo and landed inside New Starburg.  However they quickly found themselves pinned down by the enemy, which consisted not only of the [[New Starburg Militia|1st New Starburg Mechanized Cavalry]] Regiment but also the surviving elements of the [[Black Outlaws]] and [[Skinner's Scimitars]], a pair of [[mercenary]] companies who had previously fought Clan Wolf at [[The Edge]] and [[Alleghe]] respectively. Under fire from the swift vehicles of the cavalry regiment and a number of [['Mechs]] equivalent to two reinforced [[Company|companies]], Star Colonel Abioseh Winson reluctantly and embarrassingly was forced to break his bid and request the assistance of Star Colonel [[Dwillt Radick]] of [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|Sixteenth Battle Cluster]]. With the help of the 16th's [[Nova (unit)|Third Alpha Nova]] Clan Wolf succeeded in defeating the defenders.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 59</ref>
