A spice discovered on this world, Simpson's Delight (discovered by Professor [[Waldo Simpson]]), was used by chefs in a new dish known as "Simpson's Dessert." This dish gave the world its name. When a clerk in the [[Terran Hegemony]] entered the name into their database, one "s" was accidentally dropped, leading to the name "Simpson Desert."<ref name=HM161/>

Despite the name of the planet, the '''Simpson Desert''' is covered with beautiful thick forests, rolling hills and fields, and jagged rock formations that obscure movement. It is not a desert that world's name suggests. A mistake stemming from the first survey of the planet by early explorers.<ref>''Fire at Will'', p. 207</ref> A spice discovered on this world Simpson's Delight (discovered by Professor Waldo Simpson) was used by chefs in a new dish known as "Simpson's Dessert."

In late [[3137]], Simpson Desert was captured by the Lyran Commonwealth during [[Operation HAMMERFALL]]. The militia entrenched themselves in Fort Verdun, prolonging the fight.

In response to constant attacks by [[Wolf's Dragoons]], Star Colonel [[Othar]] dispatched the [[95th Wolf Assault (Clan Wolf)|Ninety-fifth Wolf Assault Cluster]] to Simpson Desert in February [[3152]]. Easily seizing the planet from its militia, the Ninety-fifth soon found themselves under attack by a battalion of the [[Seventh Tamarind Regulars]]. Initially the hit-and-run battle in the forests went the Wolves' way as they damaged the Seventh's [[DropShip]]s badly enough to strand the Tamarind force on-planet. The Seventh turned the tables on the enemy by stealing the Wolf DropShips and departing Simpson Desert, leaving the Wolf Cluster effectively marooned there.<ref name=EAp63/>
