System Information
X:Y Coordinates198.899 : -464.115[e]

The Carthage system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 3145, is an independent system close to the borders of the Calderon Protectorate, Federated Suns, and Taurian Concordat.[1][2]

System Description[edit]

Carthage is located near the Argos and Paf systems.[1][2][3][4]

System History[edit]

The Carthage system was either settled by the Taurian Concordat at some point after the end of the Fourth Succession War or was an inhabited system that became significant enough during this period for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.[5][6][7]

Planetary History[edit]

Post-Jihad Years[edit]

The war between the Taurian Concordat and Federated Suns officially ended on 2 July 3080, in the aftermath of Operation MATADOR, but the fortunes of the Concordat continued to decline. Many worlds lacking confidence in the Concordat's central government seceded from the Concordat; Tyrrhenia was the first of the Concordat worlds to do so,[45] leaving the Concordat even before the Jihad had begun, along with the world of Hellespont soon after.[29][39] Between mid-3079 and late 3085, six more worlds seceded: Argos, Carthage, Carvajal, Celano, Micros III, and Mirfak, and the governor of Charleston was debating declaring Charleston independent as well. Where the Taurian government had fought a war a decade before with the breakaway Concordat, Carthage and the other worlds that left the Concordat in the aftermath of the Jihad were effectively ignored in favor of reinforcing the narrow salient securing the Pleiades Cluster.[45]
