−	Gulkana is probably best known for the rise of [[Thomas Yarborough]] in the early 3020's. Then a member of the planet's [[Gulkana Militia|militia]], Captain Yarborough overthrew the civilian government and declared himself ruler. The noble families on the world didn't oppose Yarborough as he promised to honor their positions. Though initially the Captain's rise to power was seen as a good thing, opinion quickly turned against him when he declared the "Competency Laws." These regulations called for every citizen of Gulkana to receive an IQ test and be assigned a job appropriate to their IQ. People who scored high on the test were given important jobs while those who scored low were destined for manual labor.	+	Gulkana is probably best known for the rise of [[Thomas Yarborough]] in the early 3020's.

	Unfortunately the Competency Laws were a complete sham. Biased against the majority of the planet's population and wildly inaccurate, the results were enforced by Yarborough's well-armed followers. The effect of these test results were immediate and dramatic: The entire world, including Yeffters Weapons, came to a standstill.		Unfortunately the Competency Laws were a complete sham.

−	[[Hanse Davion]] became aware of the situation when Yeffters stopped production. Though unable to directly interfere with the planet's government, the prince put pressure on the world's duke to evict Yarborough. In addition several lesser nobles were interested in fighting Yarborough's troops with their own retainers, but the duke's inaction prevented that. A grassroots campaign to remove Yarborough.<ref name=HDp195/> blossomed into a growing armed rebellion. The situation finally came to a head when [[Christine Salos]] assumed the Duchy of Gulkana from her father in [[3033]] and requested the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] step in.

Then a member of the [[Gulkana Militia|planet's militia]], Captain Yarborough overthrew the civilian government and declared himself ruler. The noble families on the world didn't oppose Yarborough as he promised to honor their positions. Though initially the Captain's rise to power was seen as a good thing, opinion quickly turned against him when he declared the "Competency Laws". These regulations called for every citizen of Gulkana to receive an IQ test and be assigned a job appropriate to their IQ. People who scored high on the test were given important jobs while those who scored low were destined for manual labor. Unfortunately the Competency Laws were a complete sham. Biased against the majority of the planet's population and wildly inaccurate, the results were enforced by Yarborough's well-armed followers. The effect of these test results were immediate and dramatic: The entire world, including Yeffters Weapons, came to a standstill. [[Hanse Davion]] became aware of the situation when Yeffters stopped production. Though unable to directly interfere with the planet's government, the prince put pressure on the world's duke to evict Yarborough. In addition several lesser nobles were interested in fighting Yarborough's troops with their own retainers, but the duke's inaction prevented that. A grassroots campaign to remove Yarborough.<ref name="hd197"/> blossomed into a growing armed rebellion. The situation finally came to a head when [[Christine Salos]] assumed the Duchy of Gulkana from her father in [[3033]] and requested the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] step in. Even with this outside assistance it would be many years before the planet stabilized and order was restored. <ref name="HB:HDp175"/> ===Military Deployment=== ====3055==== * [[Gulkana Militia]] ===Geography=== Gulkana has a single continent, Pangaea, and the majority of Gulkana's surface is barren, rocky, and devoid of native life due to its harsh, arid climate. The only indigenous plants and animals are concentrated around the equator, which is covered in lush jungle.<ref>''Hot Spots Contracts'', p. 1</ref> ===Planetary Locations=== {{scrollbox| * Kanpur: Capital city<ref name=OBFSp15/> [[File:Planetary Map - Gulkana.jpg|right|thumb|Planetary Map of Gulkana]] }} ===Industrial Centers=== * [[Yeffters Weapons Factory]] <ref name="HB:HDp175"/> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 28 systems (27 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Sparrevohn]] | class="lessthan30" | 14.3 | class="lessthan30" | [[Du Lac]] | class="lessthan30" | 17.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Tatlawiksuk]] | class="lessthan30" | 21.8 | class="lessthan30" | [[Colorado]] | class="lessthan30" | 23.1 |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Wedgefield]] | class="lessthan30" | 23.5 | class="lessthan30" | [[Covington]] | class="lessthan30" | 28.9 | class="over30" | [[Nunivak]] | class="over30" | 33.2 | class="over30" | [[Fincastle]] | class="over30" | 33.8 |- | class="over30" | [[Zambezi]] | class="over30" | 36.2 | class="over30" | [[Kaiyuh]] | class="over30" | 40.8 | class="over30" | [[Noatak]] | class="over30" | 42.6 | class="over30" | [[Bonneau]] | class="over30" | 44.3 |- | class="over30" | [[Kotzebue]] | class="over30" | 46.3 | class="over30" | [[Antietam]] | class="over30" | 46.7 | class="over30" | [[Reisterstown]] | class="over30" | 47.6 | class="over30" | [[Point Barrow_(System)|Point Barrow]] | class="over30" | 49.0 |- | class="over30" | [[Susulatna]] | class="over30" | 49.2 | class="over30" | [[Zacatecoluca]] | class="over30" | 51.3 | class="over30" | [[Lynchburg]] | class="over30" | 51.4 | class="over30" | [[Chakachamna]] | class="over30" | 53.9 |- | class="over30" | [[Waimalu]] | class="over30" | 54.5 | class="over30" | [[Killarney]] | class="over30" | 55.1 | class="over30" | [[Bornal|Agmond]] | class="over30" | 56.5 | class="over30" | [[Chirikof]] | class="over30" | 58.4 |- | class="over30" | [[Bastian]] | class="over30" | 59.1 | class="over30" | [[Quimper (Crucis_March)|Quimper]] | class="over30" | 59.7 | class="over30" | [[Ingenstrem]] | class="over30" | 59.9 | class="over60" | [[Notwina]] | class="over60" | 60.8 |- |} == References == <references /> == Bibliography == * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Report 2765: Federated Suns]]'' * ''[[Field Report: AFFS]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Davion]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[House Davion (The Federated Suns)]]'' * ''[[Hot Spots Contracts]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objectives: Federated Suns]]'' [[Category:Systems|Gulkana]] [[Category: Federated Commonwealth Planets]] [[Category: Federated Suns Planets]] [[Category: Independent Planets]]
