Line 18: ==Overview== ==Overview== ===History=== ===History=== − On 24 August [[2786]], the Exodus Fleet arrived in the [[Pentagon Worlds]]. Five systems were found in close proximity to one another: [[Arcadia]], [[Babylon]], [[Circe]], [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]], and [[Eden]]. Landing began on each of the worlds by 17 September that year, and colonies began to take shape. Each world was either marginally habitable or had some dangerous pathogen native to it.<ref name=HOKp18>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 18</ref>+ The Star League-in-Exile was a state founded by the [[Star League Defense Forces]] who chosen to follow his commanding officer, [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] after they left the [[Inner Sphere]] in the [[Exodus]]. They settled in five marginally habitable worlds, called the [[Pentagon Worlds]]. − + Kerensky and his followers tried to re-create a new Star League in Exile as best as possible. − Of six million people, two million were [[SLDF]] personnel, a military far beyond what they would need or support. General Kerensky and General [[Aaron DeChavilier]] demobilized noncombat specialties and, for any combatants who wished to remain in uniform, held testing at every rank, reducing the SLDF to a half-million strong.<ref name=HOKp18/> − − Exploration of the nearby [[Kerensky Cluster]] began, and more habitable worlds were found. [[Strana Mechty]] and six other worlds were colonized in the Cluster, though the bulk of the population remained in the Pentagon Worlds. The infrastructure and manufacturing to support the new nation were established.<ref name=HOKp19/> [[New Moscva]] on Eden was established as the new capital.<ref name=HOKp137>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 137</ref> ==Destruction== ==Destruction== − From [[2794]] to [[2800]], tensions and discontent grew among the people of the Pentagon Worlds. Old allegiances and identities from the [[Inner Sphere]] were revived, and demobilized SLDF members were unhappy with their new civilian lives. On 28 November 2800, rioting broke out on Eden, and it swiftly grew into full rebellion. A Capellan nationalist group declared their independence from the Star League-in-Exile on 5 May [[2801]], with the contents of a [[Brian Cache]] at their disposal.<ref name=HOKp19/>+ Despite the deaths by diseases, the colonization effort was a success, and big cities with advanced industry began to form. However within a year, cracks were beginning to form along cultural lines and soon the Pentagon Worlds were entering what would be later called the Exodus Civil War, a state of anarchy and wide spread devastation eerily similar to the early Succession Wars affecting the Inner Sphere. Increasingly frail after the death of his wife Katyusha and friend [[Aaron DeChavilier]] during what would become known as the [[DeChavilier Massacre]], Kerensky prepared to gather the few troops still loyal to him as he suffered a massive heart attack. − + In 2801 General Aleksandr Kerensky died at the age of 100 years, and as his dying wish left the remnants of the exiled Star League in the hands of his son, [[Nicholas Kerensky]]. Kerensky's death was the last nail in the Star League in Exile coffin: his son wasn't accepted as successor by the majority of SLDF high ranking officers. Nicholas was forced to launch a Second Exodus to [[Strana Mechty]], to save something of the imminent disaster. − General [[Aaron DeChavilier]] led a regiment to Eden to put down the rebellion, where they were ambushed. DeChavilier was shot out of the sky while ejecting from his ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'', and his troops retaliated. This became known as the [[DeChavilier Massacre]].<ref name=HOKp20-21>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', pp. 20-21</ref> Aleksandr Kerensky responded with ''General Order 1721'', declaring martial law. This only inspired the spread of rebellion.<ref name=HOKp21>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 21</ref> − SLDF forces gained ground against the rebels, as the different rebelling factions were fighting each other as well as the Star League forces. Then tragedy struck: on 11 June 2801, Aleksandr Kerensky passed away. The SLDF leadership fractured: some were willing to follow [[Nicholas Kerensky]], others joined one of the rebelling factions.
