The Zoetermeer system is the location of at least one habitable world, Zoetermeer II - usually referred to simply as "Zoetermeer" - and as of June 3152 was located in the Clan Hell's Horses Occupation Zone.[2]

System Description

The Zoetermeer system is located close to the Leskovik and Vulcan systems[3][4] and consists of at least two planets orbiting a class G9V primary.[1]

System History

The Zoetermeer system was colonized during the Star League era by the Lyran Commonwealth at some point after the end of the Reunification War.[5][6]

Planetary History

Star League

During the final years of the Star League, Zoetermeer was the host to a Star League Defense Force garrison.[45]

Clan Invasion of 3050

The system was invaded by Clan Jade Falcon during the Invasion of September-October of 3050. Part of its Fourth Wave, Zoetermeer was taken by Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star. The WarShips orbited the planet and forced the survivors of the 10th Donegal Guards RCT & Alpha Battalion of the 12th Star Guards to surrender or be bombarded.[46] The Falcons targeted the world because there were rumors of a Star League depot. No such depot was found though.[1]

Jihad

Zoetermeer was conquered by Clan Wolf during the 3060s, only to then be invaded again during the Jihad, when Clan Hell's Horses launched an invasion of the Clan Wolf holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071. Zoetermeer was invaded by the Hell's Horses between the 14th and 28th of August 3071, but the Hell's Horses invasion stalled along a line of worlds from Zoetermeer to Ferleiten.[34][35]

In 3073 the Wolf garrison suffered an attack by scientist caste renegades from The Society. A chemical bomb exploded in a barracks fatally contaminated over half of the Seventeenth Wolf Regulars. The bombing was followed up by a conventional attack by Trueborn scientists from a nearby research facility. Wolf warriors beat off the attackers, though the research facility itself was destroyed, and tracked them to their base elsewhere. When a DropShip launched and rendezvoused with a merchant caste JumpShip the Wolves were able to track the renegades to the Jade Falcon world of Denizli.[47]

By 3079 the Wolves had declined to develop the world's infrastructure and industrial capacity beyond what the Falcons had put in place.[1]

Dark Age

After Clan Wolf abandoned its Occupation Zone in 3137, the undefended Zoetermeer and its aerospace facilities were swiftly taken by Clan Hell's Horses' Delta Galaxy.[42]
