The Otisberg system was either colonized by the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]] or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this era for the nations of the [[Inner Sphere]] to begin recording its location on maps.<ref name="H:RWp158"/><ref name="ER:2750p36"/>

Otisberg IV, commonly referred to simply as Otisberg, is the fourth planet in the system and has a single moon named Miloe.<ref name=OB:Pp28/>
 
−
 
 
−
===Planetary History===
 
−
====Clan Invasion====
 
−
Otisberg was one of six former Rim Worlds Republic worlds to be involved in discussions in the 3040s about possibly forming a new nation as a result of the rising popularity of the Unification Movement. While the Movement had been steadily gaining popularity in the first half of the 3040s as a result of the lectures and speeches given by [[James Moroney]] in support of the cause, many were still very concerned that unifying would simply make them a more popular target for the pirates and bandits that already periodically raided the various worlds. A devastating pirate attack on Otisberg in November [[3046]] underscored this and nearly derailed the process completely, but with the arrival and support of the [[Able's Aces]] mercenary unit, led by an officer born on Otisberg, the collective populations of the six worlds agreed to form the Rim Collection in [[3048]].<ref name="HB:MPSp173"/>
 
−
 
 
−
====The Jihad====
 
−
During the [[Jihad]] Otisberg devoted huge amounts of effort to excavating the buried remains of factories from the Star League era, and then repairing those assembly lines that could be repaired.<ref name=OB:Pp28/> [[Rim Motors]] subsequently took advantage of the educated refugees who were fleeing the battles being fought in the nearby [[Circinus Federation]], using their knowledge and skills to aid in the renovation of the ancient factory ruins.<ref name="O:Pp28">''Objectives: Periphery'', p. 28, "Industrial Update"</ref> As a result of these assorted efforts, by the closing stages of the Jihad Rim Motors had managed to operate a production line in Amarison on Salvation for several years, producing [[RetroTech]] ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMech]]s.<ref name=OB:Pp28/> The quality of these ''Commandos'' was considered to be remarkably high, given the speed with which they were being constructed.<ref name="O:Pp28"/> The production of RetroTech 'Mechs continued even after the end of the Jihad.<ref name="J:FRp117">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 117: "Lesser Periphery States"</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
===Geography===
 
−
Otisberg has three continents named Ashland, Purgatory, and Salvation. Otisberg is a volcanically active planet, and while the volcanic soil is fertile, working the soil was relatively dangerous because of the ongoing volcanic activity.<ref name=OB:Pp28/>
 
−
 
 
−
===Planetary Locations===
 
−
* Amariston: the location on Salvation of the Rim Motors manufacturing facilities<ref name=OB:Pp28/>
 
−
* Troy: the planetary capital city, located on Salvation<ref name=OB:Pp28/>
 
−
 
 
−
===Companies and Industries===
 
−
* [[Rim Motors]]<ref>''Objectives: Periphery'', p. 28: "Rim Motors"</ref>
 
−
 
 
−
==Notes==
 
−
The Otisberg system does not appear on maps in ''[[Handbook: House Steiner]]'', ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'', pp. 18 & 25, and ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'', p. 104, but does appear on maps of the same time period contained in other sources.
