A rather detailed [[apocryphal]] description of the Wheel system was published in [[BattleTechnology#Issue 0201|''BattleTechnology'', Issue #0201]], pages 5–7, as part of that magazine's "Worldbook" series. According to this article, the system's actual name is '''Valdis''', Catalog #NSC D 4-983-873. It is named "Wheel" after the massive [[recharge station]] and habitat at its zenith [[jump point]] (featuring a vast, wheel-shaped 460 meter diameter [[grav deck]] around its needle-shaped core) that also serves as administrative and government center for the system, and as a free port. The station also houses the system's Class B [[HPG]].

The system was settled no later than [[2403]], when a base was established on the large asteroid Rikerstrike, though independent asteroid miners may have been active in the system even before that. Rikerstrike has stores as well as port and recreation facilities at Rikerstown and Joyport.

====Fourth Succession War====
In July [[3028]], an explosion in the capital city, Hub, resulted in the death of one of [[Chancellor]] [[Takashi Kurita|Takashi Kurita's]] concubines. Although the explosion was actually the result of a bomb planted by the Tyr resistance movement, investigations pointed at the local garrison forces. When the investigators failed to identify a guilty party, Takashi Kurita was sufficiently angry that he had the entire garrison redeployed to [[Luthien]] so that the [[Internal Security Force]] director, [[Subhash Indrahar]], could personally interrogate the soldiers until the truth was uncovered. With the militia infantry and armor regiments away undergoing investigation, the garrison of Wheel was reduced to ten militia infantry regiments populated by aging grandparents and their grandchildren, six ''[[Sholagar]]'' [[aerospace fighter]]s piloted by amateurs and a single mercenary command, the [[Tooth of Ymir]], commanded by [[Colonel]] Davis Heller.<ref name="NAIS4SWp48">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 48: "Wheel"</ref>

When the [[Fourth Succession War]] erupted in August [[3028]], the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] assigned the invasion of Wheel to [[Hansen's Roughriders]] and the [[Narhal's Raiders|First Narhal Raiders]], two mercenary units commanded by Colonel Gerhardt Hansen and [[Leutnant-General]] William Matthews respectively, accompanied by a number of armor and infantry regiments. Aware of his predicament, Colonel Heller contacted the inbound task force and explained the situation, and requested that the battle for Wheel be conducted "with the old rules - [['Mechs]] against 'Mechs, warriors against warriors; let honor among professionals save the lives of the innocents."<ref name="NAIS4SWp48"/>

Hansen and Matthews accepted the offer immediately, and instructed their supporting forces to stay in their drop zones; the two mercenary commands then fought against the Tooth of Ymir for three days in a region known locally as Red Desert Flats. By the time the Raiders and Roughriders had managed to surround the Tooth of Ymir, the Tooth had lost a [[battalion]] of 'Mechs; a swiftly arranged ceasefire and conference ended with Colonel Heller's agreement to leave Wheel. Following the departure of the Tooth of Ymir the Lyran forces took control of Wheel.<ref name="NAIS4SWp48"/>

In late December [[3051]], Wheel was invaded by [[Clan Wolf]] as part of the Fifth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]].  The [[Gurbeng Garrison (Clan Wolf)|Gurbeng Garrison Cluster]] confronted the First Wheel Mechanized Militia and the Free Wheelers, a corporate regiment composed of two light 'Mech companies, at Ryonna, Caderton and Vinckin.  While both the militia and corporate formations were actually better trained than other similar garrison forces, they failed utterly to coordinate their actions, even when defending the same defensive line.  This disorganization allowed the second-line Clan forces to defeat them easily and secure the planet for Clan Wolf.<ref name=CWSBp67/>
