| + | Zurich V, more commonly referred to simply as Zurich, is the fifth 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/><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 ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]''; the defending militia didn't last long. The ''Zhanzheng de Guang'' overthrew the local Davion government,<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 68: "The Sarna Invasion"</ref> The replacement Capellan government imposed tyrannical measures on the populace, but quickly found itself facing resistance groups, the most successful of which destroyed key facilities, killed the Capellan leader, and even crippled a entire mercenary regiment. The resistance group was led by the assassin called [[Dancing Joker]], who took to leaving behind a poker card of a Joker as a calling card. The only other particularly successful group was led by [[Jacko Diamond]], an agent of Free Capella, under orders of [[Tormano Liao]].<ref>''Bred for War'' p. 330</ref> | |
| − | + | 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> | |

Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
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.[8][6]
Succession Wars[edit]
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[edit]
Zurich was attacked in the CCAF's first wave of Operation GUERRERO by the Zhanzheng de Guang; the defending militia didn't last long. The Zhanzheng de Guang overthrew the local Davion government,[38] The replacement Capellan government imposed tyrannical measures on the populace, but quickly found itself facing resistance groups, the most successful of which destroyed key facilities, killed the Capellan leader, and even crippled a entire mercenary regiment. The resistance group was led by the assassin called Dancing Joker, who took to leaving behind a poker card of a Joker as a calling card. The only other particularly successful group was led by Jacko Diamond, an agent of Free Capella, under orders of Tormano Liao.[39]
The planet eventually was retaken by pro–Federated Suns forces.[40]
The Jihad[edit]
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.[41]
Military Deployment[edit]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Daosha: a city[50]
- Kuanchan: a city and site of a battle between Blakist and Capellan forces during the Jihad[41]
