References to Quentin as a planet typically refer to Quentin IV, the primary world in the system. As of [[3023]], the world was considered valuable for its factories and research complexes even though by that time the research complexes were inactive and the factories struggling due to frequent attacks. There were several settlements although the planets of the Quentin system were described as inhospitable.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'', pp. 18, 36</ref> It had a breathable yet stormy atmosphere,<ref>''Wolves on the Border'', ch. 3</ref> which was also described an arid world.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'', p. 29</ref>

===Planetary History===
====Early History====
Identified as being a world rich in raw materials, Quentin was targeted for colonization by a number of corporations from [[Terra]] looking to exploit the planet's wealth; the first settlers were corporate employees, and Quentin swiftly built up an industrial base to further the ambitions of the corporations that had invested in the world.<ref name=DARWp63/>

By the [[twenty-fourth century]], Quentin was already a wealthy independent world. Shortly after Quentin signed a mutual defense pact with the nearby worlds of [[Errai]] and [[Helen]] it was targeted for conquest by [[Director-General of the Terran Hegemony|Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] of the newly formed Terran Hegemony. Having secured his hold over all of the worlds within the rump state of the [[Terran Alliance]], McKenna began a "Campaign of Persuasion" to bring other former Alliance worlds and independent worlds into the Hegemony through military force, and the three allied worlds of Errai, Helen, and Quentin were his first targets.<ref name="SLSBp16">''The Star League'', p. 16: "Terra's Errant Flock"</ref>

McKenna attacked the Quentin system with a large fleet of WarShips, and despite knowing that there was little chance of resisting the invasion the leaders of each of the three allied worlds planned to teach McKenna a lesson; all three worlds converted fleets of cargo and interplanetary courier ships into fighting vessels by adding lasers and missile tubes to battle in space, and all three worlds beefed up their ground forces with large militia forces of trained personnel augmented by volunteers. The colonists on Quentin fought a dogged, even fanatical, campaign of resistance against the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] before finally being conquered, and the resistance offered by those on Quentin taught the HAF a number of harsh lessons.<ref name="SLSBp16"/>

====Age of War====
As time passed, many of the industries on Quentin converted their production to support military applications, causing the economy to truly thrive—but with the increased prosperity came increased attention from nearby governments, who were keen to take control of Quentin and its industries. Quentin was saved from being ravaged by warfare when the [[Star League]] formed, ending open warfare at least for a time.<ref name=DARWp63/>

====Star League Era====
The era of the Star League brought further growth and prosperity to Quentin by establishing a substantial [[BattleMech]] manufacturing plant in the Steel Valley region, a densely populated industrial region of Quentin on the continent of Morandi. The Star League factory produced dozens of BattleMech designs, particularly heavy and assault designs such as the [[Atlas (BattleMech)|''Atlas'']], ''[[Marauder]]'', ''[[JagerMech]]'', and ''[[Victor]]'', and the factory would later form the heart of the company known as [[Independence Weaponry]].<ref name=DARWp63/>

====The Succession Wars====
Quentin became the target of repeated invasion attempts during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], with the [[Capellan Confederation]], Draconis Combine and Federated Suns all bitterly contesting control of the planet and its important industrial production. The battles to control Quentin left a number of scars in their wake; even the atmosphere of the planet was affected, becoming much more caustic in the wake of a massive biological weapon attack during the [[First Succession War]], launched by one of the retreating factions.<ref name=DARWp63/>

====Third Succession War====
In June [[3023]], [[Wolf's Dragoons]], attacked Quentin IV on behalf of the Draconis Combine.  [[Colonel]] [[Jaime Wolf]] led the [[Alpha Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Alpha]], [[Gamma Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Gamma]] and [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Delta]] Regiments and successfully raided several targets on world. Their main goal was the industrial assets in the city of Fasolht, but they launched a false attack on Port Gailfry to lure out the Davion defenders. When the Davion forces advanced to hit the Dragoons' flank, the Dragoons faked retreating to further draw out their enemy. Then they turned to engage the defenders while a second force attacked the now defenseless city of Fasolht.<ref name=WDSp31a/>

During this operation, Jaime met the Combine's Liaison Officer assigned to the Dragoons, [[Minobu Tetsuhara]]. The two men did not know at the time that they had met previously on [[Dromini|Dromini VI]] as it was Minobu who had spared Jaime's life when his Archer was caught shut-down and overheated during that battle.<ref name=WDSp31>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 31: "Eridani Strike Back"</ref>

When a problem emerged in the Dragoons' plans, Jaime Wolf provided a [[Vindicator]] [[BattleMech]] to Minobu to assist in fighting in an area called Fire Rift.  There Minobu would once again save Jaime's life when his 'Mech was trapped in lava. This helped cement a deep friendship between the two men.<ref name=WDSp31a/>

Soon thereafter, the [[Coordinator]] himself, [[Takashi Kurita]] joined the fighting. On 21 June 3023, the Dragoons seized Fasolht and the major resources there were stripped for shipment back to [[Luthien]].<ref name=WDSp31a/>

====The Jihad====
In [[3069]] Quentin was attacked by Word of Blake forces that included the mercenary [[Khasparov’s Knights]] though were beaten back by the [[Tenth Ghost]]. In [[3070]] the Ghosts departed the and the Knights swiftly returned.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 76</ref>
It became the baseworld for the [[Forty-seventh Shadow Division]] and raised three Protectorate Militia divisions. These divisions were trained by [[Khasparov's Knights]]. In early 3077, [[Sorenson's Sabres]] raided the world in force, but didn't encounter any Manei Domini troops.<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 98</ref> It was targeted for liberation by the allied coalition in May [[3077]] as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]]. The campaign quickly bogged down when the allied forces were struck by terrorist bombs on 17 May 3077 that hit three [[DropShip]]s as well as a [[Manei Domini]] attack aimed at the commanders of the task force, which included ''[[Kanrei]]'' [[Kiyomori Minamoto]]. Minamoto responded to the insurgency by bringing in teams from the [[ISF]] and the [[Order of Five Pillars]] to track down hidden Blakist operatives, as well as ordering house-to-house searches for insurgents.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref><ref name=tcp99>''Total Chaos'', p. 99</ref>

The Blakist forces on Quentin received reinforcements in late May when a small Word of Blake fleet dropped several [[Level II]]s of troops onto the world, reinforcing the Manei Domini forces already fighting against the coalition troops.<ref name="J:FRp57"/> The Blakists had taken advantage of a lapse in the air cover provided by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] over the northern hemisphere; even as the forces on the planet were receiving reinforcements, the [[Forty-seventh Shadow Division]] revealed its presence by destroying an overextended two-[[Star]] patrol from [[Clan Wolf]] forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp33">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 33: "Official Update 3"</ref><ref name=tcp99/>

By the end of June, the Blakists had made wide use of biological weapons as a part of their campaign against Minamoto's forces, leading to Minamoto implementing martial law, an extremely unpopular measure with the local population. The bulk of the Forty-seventh Shadow Division was finally cornered and destroyed in late July, when the coalition forces assaulted a hidden mountain base that had been discovered near the capital city. The combined forces of the [[First Sword of Light]] and Clan Wolf's [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Tau Galaxy]] trapped the Blakist forces and crushed the bulk of them bar the few survivors who managed to escape to a nearby Blakist [[WarShip]].<ref name="JHS:Tp33"/><ref name=tcp99/> However, the heavy-handed actions of the coalition forces saw the local population promptly rise up. The situation on Quentin quickly broke down to the point that coalition [[General]] [[Belle Lee]] decided to replace Minamoto's garrison forces with elements of the [[Com Guards]].<ref name="J:FRp57"/>

The actions of the First Sword of Light against the Forty-Seventh Shadow Division were dramatized in ''[[Steel Courage]]''.<ref name=TCp170>''Total Chaos'', p. 170</ref>

====Dark Age====
Quentin was incorporated into the [[Republic of the Sphere]], but even under the aegis of the Republic the outlying regions of Quentin continued to decline. The bulk of the planetary population was living in or around Steel Valley by the [[thirty-second century]]; also located on Morandi was the planetary capital, Prosperity Point. Morandi was far more heavily populated than Gladius, El Largo and El Minoro, partly because of the extreme cold encountered in those regions and partly because of the continuing decline of these regions following the incessant warfare of the post–Star League centuries.<ref name=DARWp63/>

In April of 3133, the planet was attacked by [[Kal Radick|Kal Radick's]] [[Steel Wolves]]. His forces were led by [[Star Colonel]] Ulan who had targeted production facilities at "Port Frome." This industrial site was capable of manufacturing militarized "Agricultural and ForestryMechs." The attack was successfully thwarted by [[Northwind Highlanders]] forces led by [[General]] [[Gwyn Davies]]<ref name=SHp132>''A Silence in the Heavens'', p. 132</ref> and resulted in an embarrassing rout for the Steel Wolves.<ref>''A Silence in the Heavens'', pp. 94, 106</ref> Little else is known about this conflict.

Left outside of [[Fortress Republic]], Quentin was briefly independent until it was claimed by the Draconis Combine in [[3137]] or [[3138]].<ref name=ER:3145p21/> In [[3143]], the [[Republic Armed Forces|RAF]] mounted a successful raid through [[The Wall|the Wall]] against what was believed to be a DCMS staging area for penetrating the Fortress.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145'', p. 40</ref> During [[Operation ERUPTIO]] in [[3149]] Quentin was the first world attacked by the RAF's Second Army Group, who devastated DCMS military infrastructure and supplies before moving on.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 66: "Fear and Confusion"</ref>

===Geography===
Quentin IV has four continents spread around the surface of the planet. The continent furthest north is El Largo; the continent of Morandi is located on the equator, whilst Gladius is located in the southern hemisphere and El Minoro is in the southern polar regions of the world. The average temperature on each of the continents other than Morandi is cold enough to make them unwelcoming to human habitation.<ref name=DARWp63/>

The city of Batan, ruled by one Baron Davis as of [[3023]], is mentioned to notably have a large spaceport. Other named cities are Port Gailfry, Fasolht (in the Ridge Mountain foothills), and Carson. There is also the Fire Rift geological anomaly and the Plains of Glass.<ref>''Wolves on the Border'', chs. 2–12</ref> Another named city is Port Frome.<ref>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 7</ref>

==Notes==
* In ''[[Wolves on the Border]]'', the continents of Aja and Aja Minor are referenced as being on Quentin IV.  However, these two continents are not referenced in either ''[[Handbook: House Kurita]]'' or ''[[Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)]]''. As the latter is a more recent publication, it takes precedence.
* ''Wolves on the Border'' marks the primary planet on Quentin as Quentin IV. The system's LinkNet article as found in ''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'' gives the main planet's position as 7 of 7, but this has expressly been declared an error in [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=48740.0 this] ruling on the official [[BattleTech Forum]]
