Planetary Data
- System Name: Shadow
- Star Type: B8IV
- Position in System: 1 of 2
- Time to Jump Point: 62.07 days
- Surface Water: 40%
- Atmosphere: Standard (virally tainted)
- Surface Gravity: 0.7
- Equator Temperature: 35 degree Celsius
- Percentage and Level of Native Life: Reptiles
According to an apocryphal source,[1] Shadow is a large moon orbiting a gas giant with such a high gravity that the libration point (Lagrange point) forms a stable "pirate point" a few hundred thousand kilometers from Shadow some three times per month, close enough even for aerospace fighters and small craft to make the trip. The system's sun is only a slightly larger star in Shadow's dark sky which is dominated by the gas giant. The world is in twilight most of the time, with no discernible day-night-cycle but strong polar lights, and has surface temperatures between 80 and 160 degrees centigrade below zero. The same source also cited a surface gravity of almost 0.9g.

Planetary Description
Shadow was part of the earliest colonization effort in the Kerensky Cluster.[10]
Planetary History
As of 3053, Shadow was apocryphally noted[1] to have previously been a Clan Smoke Jaguar holding, but large areas had been ceded to the other invading Clans as a jump-off world on the way to the Inner Sphere with the provision that large-scale live fire exercises could be carried out there before troops embarked on the year-long journey.
The world is reportedly completely controlled by factionalist Clan Fire Mandrill as of 3062, and noted as their capital world.[11]
In 3002 Clan Fire Mandrill traded the design of their Viper OmniMech and control of the manufacturing facility Upsilon Plant 2J to Clan Ghost Bear in exchange for several production runs of the Gladiator OmniMech, in part because of the ongoing problems they were suffering with the OmniPod technology on the Viper. The Ghost Bears were unwilling to maintain a single small enclave on Shadow, surrounded by warring kindraa, and chose to dismantle the plant and move it to their holdings on Strana Mechty.[12]
Manufacturing Center
The Kindraa Faraday-Tanaga enclave produces the Salamanda at one its manufacturing centers.[13]
- Kindraa Sainze Primary Production Facility - BattleMech factory in Kindraa Sainze control.[14] The facilities were reconditioned by 3060 produce the Predator and in limited numbers, the Mandrill BattleMechs.[15]
- Upsilon Plant 2J (until 3002)[12]

Distance between worlds was measured using Pentagon and Kerensky Cluster (2821) shown in the Historical: Operation Klondike. This map presented a Light-year scale measurement. These are proximate distances.[17]
