Summer was settled during the first Exodus from [[Terra]] but the infertility of the local soil made agricultural endeavors difficult, if not impossible. This forced the population to build trading partnerships with a number of nearby worlds; exploiting the oil and radioactive materials for trade purposes, the export of both formed the basis of the planetary economy.<ref name=DA:RWp198/> Summer was soon a valuable world within the [[Federation of Skye]], with cities springing up across all four continents. The cities were invariably located close to the reserves of ore and oil, despite the difficulty in traveling overland between settlements because of the mountain ranges.<ref name=DA:RWp198/>

====Star League Era====

During the [[Star League]] era, germanium deposits were discovered in the Balise Mountains on the southern continent of Wessler.<ref name=HB:HSp90/><ref name=DA:RWp198/> Summer's economy was already booming, but the germanium deposits encouraged the development of manufacturing industries producing [[JumpShip]] components. The JumpShip industry in turn prompted the [[Star League Defense Force]] to install a substantial garrison on Summer and to construct a number of [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]]. During the [[Amaris Civil War]] many of the facilities and industries on Summer were damaged, but the planet remained a viable enough economic and industrial center to make it a valuable addition to the Lyran Commonwealth<ref name=DA:RWp198/> despite the destruction of the majority of the shipbuilding industries.<ref name=HB:HSp90/>

The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] used Summer as a base for raiding into the [[Draconis Combine]], and Summer attracted Kuritan raids in return; while the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] saw many of the aging petrochemical refineries damaged, but the planet retained much of its industry. The output from the damaged facilities had an increasingly damaging effect on the planetary ozone layer, and this damage was accelerated by the heavy [[DropShip]] traffic Summer was host to. The difficulty of overland travel made DropShip activity very frequent on Summer, with the planet boasting ten active spaceports all in heavy use.<ref name=DA:RWp198/>

In [[3016]], [[Colonel]] [[Sarah Weisz]] led [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Delta Regiment]] from [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in a raid on Summer. She gained the [[Free Worlds League]] several vital [[JumpShip]] components during the action.<ref name=WDsp22/>

By the end of the [[Third Succession War]] Summer was both the political center of the Skye Province and the beating heart of the Skye separatist movement, championed by Duke [[Aldo Lestrade IV]]. The center of the separatist movement on Summer itself was the city of Curitiba, the largest city on the planet, and home to Duke Lestrade's palace, which loomed imposingly over the city. In addition to the production of oil and radioactives Summer was notable for possessing factories that produced [[JumpShip]] components.<ref name=HSp167/> Summer was still tied strongly to the Seventeenth Skye Rangers regiment as a result of the historical agreement that at least half of the Seventeenth's [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] had to be recruited from Summer.<ref name="HS(TLC)p63">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 63, "Regimental Nicknames (continued)"</ref>

Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

Summer was settled during the first Exodus from Terra but the infertility of the local soil made agricultural endeavors difficult, if not impossible. This forced the population to build trading partnerships with a number of nearby worlds; exploiting the oil and radioactive materials for trade purposes, the export of both formed the basis of the planetary economy.[3] Summer was soon a valuable world within the Federation of Skye, with cities springing up across all four continents. The cities were invariably located close to the reserves of ore and oil, despite the difficulty in traveling overland between settlements because of the mountain ranges.[3]

By the end of the Reunification War, Summer formed a part of the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony.[6]

Star League Era[edit]

During the Star League era, germanium deposits were discovered in the Balise Mountains on the southern continent of Wessler.[2][3] Summer's economy was already booming, but the germanium deposits encouraged the development of manufacturing industries producing JumpShip components. The JumpShip industry in turn prompted the Star League Defense Force to install a substantial garrison on Summer and to construct a number of Castles Brian. During the Amaris Civil War many of the facilities and industries on Summer were damaged, but the planet remained a viable enough economic and industrial center to make it a valuable addition to the Lyran Commonwealth[3] despite the destruction of the majority of the shipbuilding industries.[2]

The Succession Wars[edit]

The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces used Summer as a base for raiding into the Draconis Combine, and Summer attracted Kuritan raids in return; while the Succession Wars saw many of the aging petrochemical refineries damaged, but the planet retained much of its industry. The output from the damaged facilities had an increasingly damaging effect on the planetary ozone layer, and this damage was accelerated by the heavy DropShip traffic Summer was host to. The difficulty of overland travel made DropShip activity very frequent on Summer, with the planet boasting ten active spaceports all in heavy use.[3]

Third Succession War[edit]

In 3016, Colonel Sarah Weisz led Delta Regiment from Wolf's Dragoons in a raid on Summer. She gained the Free Worlds League several vital JumpShip components during the action.[18]

By the end of the Third Succession War, Summer was both the political center of the Skye Province and the beating heart of the Skye separatist movement, championed by Duke Aldo Lestrade IV. The center of the separatist movement on Summer itself was the city of Curitiba, the largest city on the planet, and home to Duke Lestrade's palace, which loomed imposingly over the city. In addition to the production of oil and radioactives, Summer was notable for possessing factories that produced JumpShip components.[1] Summer was still tied strongly to the Seventeenth Skye Rangers regiment as a result of the historical agreement that at least half of the Seventeenth's MechWarriors had to be recruited from Summer.[44]

With the death of Duke Aldo Lestrade IV in the late 3020s the Lestrade family fell from grace, and control over the planet was acquired by the Hayne family, an old Summer family that had dominated the polar continent of Aberdale for a long time. The Hayne influence was partly tied to the commercial refineries found on Aberdale, whose output effectively controlled more than a fifth of the planetary income of Summer.[2]

FedCom Accords[edit]

Once a respected member of Steiner High Command, General Lionel Stanz was vehemently opposed to Steiner's alliance with House Davion and he resigned in frustration. In early 3028, Steiner intelligence learned that Stanz had stolen a Peacemaker nuclear device and was threatening to cleanse the Skye Province of foreigners. Because Stanz still had supporters inside Lyran command, a mercenary unit was contracted to intervene. They destroyed two relay stations and the remote detonator on Muphrid to prevent Stanz from launching the nuke, but he was able to escape off-world with it. Loki agents tracked Stanz's JumpShip to Summer, where the Fifth Lyran Guards and mercenaries were able to capture the warhead and kill Stanz in the process.[45]

The Jihad[edit]

Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN, Marshall Jeremy Brett took command of the local FWLM and launched a counteroffensive, under the name Operation BROKEN FIST. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Summer was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on 1 September 3068. The League would keep control of Summer until 7 January 3069, when Lyran Alliance forces recaptured the planet.[32] When the LAAF forces attempted to force Word of Blake from the HPG compounds, the Blakist units turned their guns on the compounds themselves and though no vital components of the generators were damaged many supplementary facilities such as barracks and administrative buildings were heavily damaged.[33]

On 27 September 3069, ComStar forces were mustering on Summer when the planet came under attack from Word of Blake forces. The Blakist attack used Pocket WarShips and aerospace fighters to attack the planet and as a part of their attack used a powerful nuclear weapon to destroy Curitiba, the planetary capital city, along with the bulk of the ComStar and LAAF units on the planet. Despite the damage dealt to Summer's defenders, the Word of Blake didn't attempt to occupy the planet, but instead simply moved on.[46] The long-term damage on Summer as a result of the Blakist attack was significant; in addition to the three million people killed in the Curitiba bombing, much of heavy industry on the Lestrade continent was also devastated in the blast as was the countryside around Curitiba.[3]

The devastation inflicted on Summer led to an exodus of much of the population off-world.[3]

The Dark Age[edit]

The incorporation of Summer into the Republic of the Sphere helped to reverse the population exodus, and while the cities on Lestrade were largely abandoned, the economy began to rebuild. The city of Mount Breighton on the northern polar continent of Aberdale became the new planetary capital as well as the heart of the reconstruction and rebuilding efforts. Summer InterStellar Components began producing JumpShip parts again in the 3120s.[3]

The native plant life on Summer produces odd odors when it blooms, and these odors often taint the wind during summer months.[1] Of the four continents, one is named Wessler, another is named Lestrade, and a third Aberdale.[2]
