System Description
The system named The Rack is located near the Luanda and Pain systems.[2][3]
System History
Originally named Port Vail, The Rack was either colonized by the Rim Worlds Republic during or shortly before the Age of War, or was an already-inhabited system that was incorporated into the Republic's Finmark Province during this period and which was considered significant enough to have its location recorded by Inner Sphere nations.[4][5][6]
Port Vail was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the Republic-Commonwealth War and vanished from maps during the Second Succession War, indicating that the system had been abandoned, depopulated, or simply rendered too insignificant to merit further recording.[7][8] Port Vail reappeared on maps as an independent system during the Clan Invasion era, with a new name - The Rack.[9][10][11]
