Planet History
Elgin was originally founded as the planet Chisholm by wealthy nonconformists in the late 2100s,[7] and formed a part of various states beginning with the Nanking Collective, then the Chisholm Protectorate,[13] before becoming a part of the Chisholm Province within the Tikonov Grand Union.[14]
When the Terran Alliance commissioned the Grand Alliance Survey of Populated Worlds in 2235 it was noted that Chesterton didn't consider itself to be even nominally under the authority of the Terran Alliance.[7] Despite the Tikonov Grand Union fighting a war with the Terran Hegemony over attempts to annex the Chisholm Province, once captured Chisholm would remain a part of the Terran Hegemony until the fall of the Star League.[15]
Chisholm was renamed Elgin in honour of Captain Edward T. Elgin in 2878, after he successfully defended the planet against forces from the Free Worlds League.[16]
During the Jihad, Elgin was one of the first worlds hit by the Coalition. Forces from the Free Worlds League Group II fought a bitter conflict with the defending Protectorate Militia Division. The fight only ended when the Division commander was killed.[6]
