Formerly known as the '''Himmels''' system, the '''Baltazar III''' system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and (as of [[3145]]) was an independent system in the [[Periphery]] close to the borders of the [[Free Worlds League]], [[Lyran Commonwealth]], and [[Marian Hegemony]].<ref name=ER:3145p38/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/> The system lies approximately 440 light-years anti-spinward of [[Terra]].

== System Description ==
The Baltazar III system is located near the [[Andiron]] (Helbrent) and [[Choex]] systems.<ref name="HB:MPSp25"/><ref name="ER:2750p36"/>

== System History ==
The Himmels system was either colonized by the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] during the [[Star League era]] or was an already-settled system that became significant enough during this era for [[Inner Sphere]] nations to record its location on maps. As Himmels, the system was a part of the [[Erdvynn Province]] of the Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/><ref name="HB:HSp25"/><ref name="HB:MPSp25"/><ref name="ER:2750p36"/>

During the [[Third Succession War]] the name of the Himmels system was changed to Baltazar III, and the system became a part of the quasi-legitimate [[bandit kingdom]] known as the [[Circinus Federation]]; several other former Republic systems were also incorporated into the Federation under new names, including [[Iolas]] (as Diedre's Den) and [[Green Stone]] (as Clayborne), although the capital of the Federation, [[Circinus]], kept its Republic-era name.<ref name="HB:HSp40"/><ref name="HB:HSp47"/>
