==Waldorff VII==
The seventh planet of the system had at least one small moon, which itself was home to an abandoned refinery.<ref name=1SS-33>''1st Somerset Strikers'', p. 33</ref> The moon's name was not mentioned. In the available sources, the moon and the mining operation there are casually referred to as "Waldorff VII", suggesting the otherwise unnamed moon to be the only interesting or relevant aspect of the planet.

An unusual feature of this moon was that it possessed vast, interconnected reservoirs of a high-quality hydrocarbon fuel that had its own oxidizer bound into it. The deposits were hidden under a kilometer-thick layer of non-porous rock, with solid granite below the fuel. [[Vickers Mining]] had set up an extraction plant on the moon by [[3022]] and planned to export the fuel to Waldorff II with minimal costs where it was estimated the local industry would "kill" for such a kind of super-fuel and convert at least half of all planetary transportation to make use of it within ten years, with the reserves on the moon of Waldorf VII expected to last for at least 100 years even in such a scenario. But CEO [[Barbara Edwards]] had a feeling that her staff was misrepresenting the facts of this supposed gold mine to her and sought a second opinion from [[Victoria Jones]] of [[Jones Consulting]]. In a report dated 10/05/3022, Jones advised Edwards that the volatile fuel would explode if heated too much (800 degrees on an unspecified scale are mentioned), and the multiple bore holes through the rock layer created by the extraction facility should be thought of as fuses where one errant spark might cause an extensive explosion that would destroy the facility if not the entire moon and undoubtedly cost lives. Jones described the moon as massive financial and moral disaster waiting to happen and a time bomb waiting to go off, strongly suggesting to shut the facility down immediately in her report's summary. The report somehow found its way into the [[MIIO]] archives.<ref name=1SS-33/>
 
 
 
The [[First Somerset Strikers]] supposedly [[BattleTech: The Animated Series#Episode 8 - Bound by Honor|fought a Trial]] against elements of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on the moon of Waldorff VII in ca. 3050, resulting in a stray missile setting off a chain reaction that apparently tore the moon apart. It is unknown if this was a real event or just a dramatized tale for the purpose of the Somerset Strikers propaganda holovid.
