Burton V - more commonly referred to simply as Burton - is the fifth planet in the Burton system and has been home to at least one significant manufacturing concern, [[O-P Computer Electronics]].<ref name="TP1Ep85"/>
 +
 +
The planet has the largest space habitat of the Taurian Concordat at the L5 point in the system, called [[Sparta Habitat|Sparta]].<ref name="IPp98">''Interstellar Players'', p. 98: "A New Era"</ref>

== Planetary History ==
 +
===Star League===
 +
Due to the presence of the [[O-P Computer Electronics]] company on Burton and that company's military contracts, the [[Star League]] felt it was necessary to keep a garrison on Burton.  In addition, since the [[Taurian Defense Force]] often sent units to Burton for training exercises and war games, the [[SLDF]] wanted someone on world to observe the Taurian's military drills in case of future conflicts with the [[TDF]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 225: "251st Royal Mechanized Infantry Division"</ref>
 +
 +
===Succession Wars===
 +
By the end of the [[Third Succession War]] O-P Computer Electronics was one of the largest electronics manufacturers in the Concordat, and the planetary population of Burton consisted largely of company employees and staff, with a few regional trading houses based on planet. Burton's trade in high tech drew a higher than normal rate of pirate raids, so in addition to the Taurian Defense Force garrison assigned to Burton, the local government raised a security force of 2 [[BattleMech]] companies as well as a full [[battalion]] of conventional forces. The [[Concordat Jaegers]] had their Third [[Battalion]] in place on Burton at the end of the Third Succession War; the Concordat government was keenly aware of how valuable the planet was, and took extra steps to limit and observe all foreigners on Burton.<ref name="TP1Ep85">''The Periphery'', p. 85</ref>
