Zurich IV - more commonly referred to simply as Zurich - is the fourth planet in the system.<ref name=HSL143/>
 +
 
 +
== Planetary History ==
 +
===Early History===
 +
A contemporary of the nearby world of [[Liao]], by 2202 '''Zurich''' was importing considerable quantities of cattle, sheep, thoroughbred horses and cattle from Liao, or, as it was known until the death of [[Elias Liao]], [[Cynthiana]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p8"/> As one of the worlds outside the boundary of the [[Terran Alliance]] following the [[Demarcation Declaration]] issued in [[2240]] Zurich became an independent world.<ref name="HB:HMp16"/> Between [[2310]] and [[2320]] Zurich was one of several worlds that all applied to [[Emile Liao]] for Protectorate status, after forces from Liao had successfully defended the world of [[Arboris]] when it seceded from the [[Capellan Hegemony]]. Zurich joined Emile Liao's nation at the same level as that enjoyed by Arboris, and helped bring about the rise of the [[Duchy of Liao]], a realm that would survive intact until the formation of the Capellan Confederation.<ref name="HB:HLp13">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 13, "Timeline: Capellan Zone 2367"</ref><ref name="HL(TCC)p17">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 17, "Loosening Up"</ref>
 +
 
 +
===Succession Wars===
 +
Zurich was one of [[Maximilian Liao]]'s favorite worlds. The planet's leaders took advantage of that by capitalizing on favored trade agreements and tax breaks they received. Though it lacks economic resources and strategic position, the presence of a [[Star League]] era [[DropShip]] with three unique [[BattleMech]]s aboard increased the tourist trade to the world.<ref name=HSL143/>
 +
 
 +
Zurich was conquered by the Federated Suns in the [[Fourth Succession War]]. It remained part of the Federated Commonwealth until the [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]].
 +
 
 +
===Operation GUERRERO===
 +
Zurich was attacked in the CCAF's first wave of [[Operation GUERRERO]] by the [[Zhanzeng de Guang]]; the defending militia didn't last long. The Zhanzeng de Guang overthrew the local Davion government,<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 68, "The Sarna Invasion"</ref> But the tirannic govern fell, after been destroyed key facilities, killed the capellan leader and even crippled a entire mercenary regiment, changing the course of history, not only in Zurich, also in [[Nanking]]. All this was co ducted by a single rebel group lead by the assassin called [[Dancing Joker]], the best hitman in Inner Sphere, who signs their actions leaving behind a poker card of a Joker.
 +
This group wasn't the only one fighting the capellan opression. There are many others, but the only one really successful was the one lead by [[Jacko Diamond]], a secret agent of Free Capella, under orders of [[Tormano Liao]].
 +
The planet eventually was retaken by pro-Federated Suns forces.<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 68, "Zurich and Nanking"</ref>
 +
 
 +
=== The Jihad ===
 +
Zurich was liberated by the [[CCAF]] in December [[3077]] according to the Capellan government, after a two-month military campaign. However, the publication ''Is This Freedom?'' distributed via the Zurich Underground presented a different picture, indicating that while the major military battles appeared to now be over with, Blakist agents were still active among the population. The article cited footage of Word of Blake BattleMechs attacking a Capellan garrison in the city of Kuanchan, as well as the deaths of hundreds of civilians when Blakist sympathizers took over the People's Justice Center and went on a killing spree before being rooted out by security forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp55">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 55, "Free?"</ref>

This article is undergoing revision as part of Project: Planets, a collaborative effort to improve BattleTechWiki's coverage of planets and systems. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can add your name to the list of volunteers.

This article has completed Phase 5 of the Overhaul effort.

Recharge station(s)None[1]

The Zurich system is the location of at least one inhabited world, Zurich IV, and as at 3145 was located in the Tikonov Commonality of the Capellan Confederation.[2][3]

System Description

The Zurich system features a single class K5V primary star and at least four planets.[1] The Zurich system is located near the Aldebaran and Nanking systems.[2][3]

System History

The Zurich system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra.[4]

Zurich IV

Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Zurich IV - more commonly referred to simply as Zurich - is the fourth planet in the system.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

A contemporary of the nearby world of Liao, by 2202 Zurich was importing considerable quantities of cattle, sheep, thoroughbred horses and cattle from Liao, or, as it was known until the death of Elias Liao, Cynthiana.[4] As one of the worlds outside the boundary of the Terran Alliance following the Demarcation Declaration issued in 2240 Zurich became an independent world.[5] Between 2310 and 2320 Zurich was one of several worlds that all applied to Emile Liao for Protectorate status, after forces from Liao had successfully defended the world of Arboris when it seceded from the Capellan Hegemony. Zurich joined Emile Liao's nation at the same level as that enjoyed by Arboris, and helped bring about the rise of the Duchy of Liao, a realm that would survive intact until the formation of the Capellan Confederation.[6][7]

Succession Wars

Zurich was one of Maximilian Liao's favorite worlds. The planet's leaders took advantage of that by capitalizing on favored trade agreements and tax breaks they received. Though it lacks economic resources and strategic position, the presence of a Star League era DropShip with three unique BattleMechs aboard increased the tourist trade to the world.[1]

Zurich was conquered by the Federated Suns in the Fourth Succession War. It remained part of the Federated Commonwealth until the Word of Blake Jihad.

Operation GUERRERO

Zurich was attacked in the CCAF's first wave of Operation GUERRERO by the Zhanzeng de Guang; the defending militia didn't last long. The Zhanzeng de Guang overthrew the local Davion government,[8] But the tirannic govern fell, after been destroyed key facilities, killed the capellan leader and even crippled a entire mercenary regiment, changing the course of history, not only in Zurich, also in Nanking. All this was co ducted by a single rebel group lead by the assassin called Dancing Joker, the best hitman in Inner Sphere, who signs their actions leaving behind a poker card of a Joker. This group wasn't the only one fighting the capellan opression. There are many others, but the only one really successful was the one lead by Jacko Diamond, a secret agent of Free Capella, under orders of Tormano Liao. The planet eventually was retaken by pro-Federated Suns forces.[9]

The Jihad

Zurich was liberated by the CCAF in December 3077 according to the Capellan government, after a two-month military campaign. However, the publication Is This Freedom? distributed via the Zurich Underground presented a different picture, indicating that while the major military battles appeared to now be over with, Blakist agents were still active among the population. The article cited footage of Word of Blake BattleMechs attacking a Capellan garrison in the city of Kuanchan, as well as the deaths of hundreds of civilians when Blakist sympathizers took over the People's Justice Center and went on a killing spree before being rooted out by security forces.[10]
