	The landmasses on Elgin are spread across thousands of islands grouped into archipelagos and atolls, Jolo being the biggest and most important isle. Jolo harbors around half of the planet's population and holds the first city on Elgin (curiously named Elgin City in 3057 although the world was originally named Chisholm), the capital Sochalladan, and the planet's largest spaceport. The other (implying only two spaceports to exist) is Anguar. Other places of note are Shimoji, the Aopo Atoll, and the Buala Atoll with Ceram Island as its largest isle.

[[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]], aware of the growing separation between Ridzik and the Chancellor, had already begun laying the groundwork to recruit Ridzik, and issued orders to have the assassination attempt thwarted. When a female Maskirovka agent initiated the attempt to kill Ridzik in the Golden Kirin, an upmarket restaurant in Sochalladan, the capital city of Elgin,<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> in February 3029,<ref>''Warrior: Riposte'', p. 294-295</ref> Federated Suns agents hustled Ridzik away in safety to [[New Avalon]], narrowly avoiding the explosion intended to kill him.<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> The negotiations between Ridzik and [[AFFS]] [[Lieutenant General]] [[Ardan Sortek]] led to Ridzik founding a new nation, the [[Tikonov Free Republic]], from those worlds of the [[Tikonov Commonality]] that hadn't already been conquered during the first half of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Ridzik returned to Elgin, the new capital of the Tikonov Free Republic, on the 3rd of March 3029 and swiftly began implementing a new government consisting of family members, friends and other appointees loyal to himself, purging dissident elements on the various Republic worlds and taking the opportunity to settle old scores.<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> {{ApocryphalContentStart}} Following the formation of the [[Chaos March]] [[Zhanzeng de Guang]] terrorist forces were active on Elgin in 3057.

Jolo harbors around half of the planet's population and holds the first city on Elgin (curiously named Elgin City in 3057 although the world was originally named Chisholm), the capital Sochalladan, and the planet's largest spaceport. The other (implying only two spaceports to exist) is Anguar. Other places of note are Shimoji, the Aopo Atoll, and the Buala Atoll with Ceram Island as its largest isle. The flat areas consist mainly of porous coral matter and sand, and most terrain on Elgin is unsuitable for walking a 'Mech across or even landing a [[DropShip]]; it is forbidden to land a DropShip outside of the world's two starports. The stable rocky ground, by contrast, tends to be very rugged terrain. Elgin's industrial capacity (such as what was left from the [[Succession Wars]] is controlled by ten noble families as of 3057. They maintain their own armies and form a joint administration. Named noble families include: *Chuk, who control the capital city of Sochalladan *Yiu, who control the entire north of Jolos save for the capital *Tsang, who control the south of Jolos *Lee, who control the entire Aopo Atoll *[[House Hou|Hou]], of Ceram Island {{ApocryphalContentEnd}} == Planetary Locations == * Sochalladan: the planetary capital city.<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Industrial Centers == == Image gallery == --> == Nearby Systems == {|class="wikitable" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Systems within 60 light-years (distance in light years)<br> Closest systems first: |- | [[Hsien]] | 5.3 | [[Mandal]] | 11.5 | [[Capolla]] | 11.5 | [[Tall Trees]] | 15.8 |- | [[Hall]] | 16.9 | [[Outreach]] | 16.9 | [[Saiph]] | 17.3 | [[Menkalinan]] | 19.7 |- | [[Nanking]] | 21.2 | [[Brownsville]] | 21.8 | [[Wasat]] | 21.8 | [[Zurich]] | 22.2 |- | [[New Canton]] | 23.0 | [[Berenson]] | 25.3 | [[Aldebaran]] | 26.9 | [[Terra Firma]] | 27.2 |- | [[Belluevue]] | 29.0 | [[Hechnar]] | 30.9 | [[Liberty]] | 31.0 | [[Bex]] | 31.1 |- | [[Epsilon Eridani]] | 34.2 | [[Kristiandsund]] | 34.3 | [[Zion]] | 35.1 | [[Van Diemen IV]] | 35.6 |- | [[Bhaktapur]] | 35.8 | [[Liao]] | 37.2 | [[Blue Sava]] | 38.3 | [[Genoa]] | 38.5 |- | [[New Home]] | 38.7 | [[Talitha]] | 39.2 | [[Bryant]] | 39.5 | [[Acamar]] | 40.0 |- | [[Procyon]] | 40.4 | [[Keid]] | 40.9 | [[Tyrfing]] | 41.4 | [[Arboris]] | 41.6 |- | [[Myrvoll]] | 42.2 | [[Sirius]] | 43.3 | [[Kyrkbacken]] | 43.4 | [[Epsilon Indi]] | 44.9 |- | [[Woodstock]] | 45.0 | [[Manennaia]] | 46.6 | [[Graham IV]] | 47.7 | [[Hamilton (FWL)|Hamilton]] | 48.0 |- | [[Irian]] | 48.4 | [[Pollux]] | 48.5 | [[Sheratan]] | 49.1 | [[Bernardo]] | 49.2 |- | [[Gan Singh]] | 49.3 | [[New Stevens]] | 49.5 | [[Asuncion]] | 50.8 | [[Terra]] | 51.0 |- | [[Caph]] | 51.7 | [[Devil's Rock]] | 51.9 | [[Pliska]] | 52.0 | [[Augustine]] | 52.1 |- | [[Azha]] | 52.2 | [[Fletcher (ROTS)|Fletcher]] | 52.9 | [[Alula Australis]] | 53.0 | [[Rigil Kentarus]] | 53.7 |- | [[Acubens]] | 53.8 | [[Snailzar]] | 54.1 | [[Castor]] | 54.2 | [[Ningpo]] | 55.0 |- | [[Oliver]] | 55.2 | [[Ibstock]] | 55.7 | [[New Earth]] | 55.8 | [[Kawich]] | 56.5 |- | [[Slocum]] | 56.6 | [[Connaught]] | 56.8 | [[Pleione]] | 57.6 | [[Ilmachna]] | 57.7 |- | [[Ingress]] | 57.9 | [[Northwind]] | 58.1 | [[Bharat]] | 58.1 | [[Nopah]] | 58.2 |- | [[Fomalhaut]] | 59.6 | | | | | | |- |} == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[20 Year Update]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Free Worlds League]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Liao]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Marik]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[http://home.ifi.uio.no/~oysteint/btech/maps/IS_3130.pdf Map of the Inner Sphere 3130]'' * ''[[NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Waffengefährten]]'' * ''[[Warrior: Riposte]]'' [[Category:Planets|Chisholm]] [[Category:Planets|Elgin]] [[Category: Amaris Empire Planets]] [[Category: Capellan Confederation Planets]] [[Category: Chaos March Planets]] [[Category: Chisholm Protectorate Planets]] [[Category: Federated Commonwealth Planets]] [[Category: Nanking Collective Planets]] [[Category: Republic of the Sphere Planets]] [[Category: Terran Hegemony Planets]] [[Category: Tikonov Free Republic Planets]] [[Category: Word of Blake Planets]]
