The '''Vixen''' system was home to at least one habitable world, '''Vixen V''', and as of [[3151]] was an independent system located in the [[Periphery]] close to the border of the [[Magistracy of Canopus]].<ref name=SFp102/>
 
  
==System Description==
+
''Note: X and Y are coordinates (light years on XY plane) relative to [[Terra]] at (0, 0)
Vixen is located near the [[Mondra]] and [[Zelmag III]] systems<ref name="HB:MPSp93"/><ref name="ER:2750p37"/> and consists of a class G3 primary orbited by at least five planets. During the [[thirty-first century]] a recharge station was in place at the zenith [[jump point]].<ref name=P104/>
 
  
==System History==
+
{{InfoBoxPlanetStandard
The Vixen system was either settled during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]] or was an already-settled system that became significant enough during this era for [[Inner Sphere]] nations to begin recording its location on maps.<ref name="H:RWp158"/><ref name="ER:2750p37"/>

Vixen V, more commonly known simply as Vixen, is the fifth planet in the Vixen system.
 
  
===Planetary History===
 
Although Vixen was inhabited during the Star League era,<ref name="HB:MPSp93"/><ref name="ER:2750p37"/> it was evidently depopulated during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. Thirty-first century sources reported that Vixen was first colonized in the mid-3020s by a small consortium of Canopian corporations. Their goal was to create a resort world like the ones that existed prior to the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. To that end they used the cool weather and natural terrain to create a winter sports haven. Ice hockey, cross country and downhill skiing, bobsledding, and curling are just a few of the attractions available. For those who prefer more confrontational excursions, Vixen offers hunting trips that focus on the local fauna. Since it's a purely recreational world, Vixen relies on distance from trade routes and isolation for its defense instead of military forces.<ref name=P104/>
 
  
====Dark Age Era====
 
The [[Magistracy Cavaliers]] were allowed to return to their traditional homeworld of [[Thraxa]] after the [[Jihad]], as a reward for their loyalty to the [[Magestrix]]; having returned home, the Cavaliers also undertook to provide security for Vixen, with two battalions residing on Thraxa and a third on Vixen. After their return, the Cavaliers faced a constant stream of raids in force from [[III Legio]] of the [[Marian Hegemony]] as well as raiders from former [[Free Worlds League]] worlds and the nearby world of [[Astrokaszy]].<ref name="FM:3085p137"/>
 
  
During the Magistracy's involvement in the [[Victoria War]] of [[3104]], Vixen suffered heavily from pirate raids as the MAF focused its strength against the [[Duchy of Andurien]]. Worse came when troops from the Marian Hegemony attacked Vixen and slaughtered its government before leaving. Vixen's population reacted with widespread unrest against the Magestrix and as a result the Canopian government soon abandoned any claim to the planet, effectively granting Vixen its independence.<ref name=HWotREp44/>
