The Scauld system was originally known as the '''Austerlitz''' system; located in the rimward Periphery, the Austerlitz system was either colonized by the [[Star League]] [[Territorial State]] known as the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] during the [[Star League era]], or it was a system that had already been colonized and which became significant enough to be recorded by [[Inner Sphere]] nations on maps during this period.<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/><ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> It was named for the battle in 1805 where Napoleon smashed the combined Austrian and Russian forces.<ref name="HRW-135">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 135</ref>

The Austerlitz system was a member of the [[Finmark Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic, and became an independent system with the collapse of the Republic after the fall of the Star League. Austerlitz remained on maps until some point during the [[Third Succession War]], at which point the system had either been depopulated, abandoned, or had become too insignificant for Inner Sphere nations to continue recording.<ref name="HB:HSp40"/><ref name="HB:HSp47">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 47</ref>

In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584. [[Archon]] [[Viola Steiner-Dinesen]] of Battle Group Finmark assigned the [[31st Armor Division|Thirty-First Armor Division]] - one of two [[division]]s within the SLDF [[VIII Corps (Star League)|VIII Corps]] - to the conquest of Austerlitz and the neutralization of the Sixth Fusiliers in [[2587]].<ref name="H:RWp152"/>

The heavily outnumbered Sixth Fusiliers fought to great effect on Austerlitz, turning the battle for control of the planet into a brutal slugging match; the Sixth Fusiliers used their heavy units to lock the Thirty-First in place and then used their light armor to launch fast, slashing attacks on the Thirty-First's infantry regiments. The Thirty-First drew on the available [[AeroSpace Fighter]] support and fast [[BattleMech]] [[company|companies]] to try and counter the Sixth Fusiliers' tactics, and while these efforts were partially successful the Sixth Fusiliers had still inflicted enough damage on the Thirty-First Division before being defeated at the end of the three-week battle to force the Thirty-First to have to be temporarily withdrawn from the Task Force MAILED FIST order of battle for refitting.<ref name="H:RWp134+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134-135, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>

===The Dark Age===

After the disbandment of the RWR, Austerlitz became a desolate, forsaken, planet. By the mid-[[thirtieth century]] it was a planet of a mere 65,000 people, where every person became a jack-of-all-hands.<ref name=DDoDp3>''Dig, Defend, or Die'', p. 3: "Notable Personalities"</ref>

Austerlitz vanished from maps during the [[3rd Succession War]],<ref name="HB:HSp40"/><ref name="HB:HSp47"/> but had reappeared by [[3130]] as a part of the nation known as the [[Rim Territories]], although the world had been renamed '''Scauld'''.<ref name="MotIS3130"/>

The Scauld system is the location of at least one habitable world and as of 3145 was located in the bandit kingdom known as the Rim Territories.[1][2]

System Description

Scauld is located near the Elba and Veil systems in the Periphery.[3][4]

System History

The Scauld system was originally known as the Austerlitz system; located in the rimward Periphery, the Austerlitz system was either colonized by the Star League Territorial State known as the Rim Worlds Republic during the Star League era, or it was a system that had already been colonized and which became significant enough to be recorded by Inner Sphere nations on maps during this period.[3][5] It was named for the battle in 1805 where Napoleon smashed the combined Austrian and Russian forces.[6]

The Austerlitz system was a member of the Finmark Province of the Rim Worlds Republic, and became an independent system with the collapse of the Republic after the fall of the Star League. Austerlitz remained on maps until some point during the Third Succession War, at which point the system had either been depopulated, abandoned, or had become too insignificant for Inner Sphere nations to continue recording.[7][8]

The Austerlitz system reappeared on maps during the Dark Age, but with a new name: Scauld.[9]

Planetary History

Reunification War

Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[37] Austerlitz was garrisoned by the Sixth Amaris Fusiliers from at least 2581 onward, a regiment which had chosen to side with the RRA and the RPG.[38] The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic.[39] Archon Viola Steiner-Dinesen assigned the Thirty-first Armor Division—one of two divisions within the SLDF VIII Corps—to the conquest of Austerlitz and the neutralization of the Sixth Fusiliers in 2587.[40]

The heavily outnumbered Sixth Fusiliers fought to great effect on Austerlitz, turning the battle for control of the planet into a brutal slugging match; the Sixth Fusiliers used their heavy units to lock the Thirty-first in place and then used their light armor to launch fast, slashing attacks on the Thirty-first's infantry regiments. The Thirty-first drew on the available aerospace fighter support and fast BattleMech companies to try and counter the Sixth Fusiliers' tactics, and while these efforts were partially successful the Sixth Fusiliers had still inflicted enough damage on the Thirty-first Division before being defeated at the end of the three-week battle to force the Thirty-first to have to be temporarily withdrawn from the Task Force MAILED FIST order of battle for refitting.[41]

After the disbandment of the RWR, Austerlitz became a desolate, forsaken, planet. By the mid-thirtieth century it was a planet of a mere 65,000 people, where every person became a jack-of-all-hands.[42]
