Planetary Info
Betelgeuse is an important Capellan factory world on their border with the Free Worlds League. Coveted by House Marik and especially Dame Catherine Humphreys of Andurien it was often the target of raids throughout its history, but remained firmly in Liao hands.[citation needed]
The planet has two continents, Bulwark where the capital city Bidan is located and Ecchi.[2]
Planetary History
Up until the Fourth Succession War, over 20 different firms on Betelgeuse's northern hemisphere used to produce the greater part of all Capellan luxury goods and consumer goods. However, they were closed down after the war when the Capellans channeled all their resources into military production.
Betelgeuse was an important manufacturer of heavy tanks and BattleMech parts. During the Jihad the Chancellor sponsored the construction of a new Hellespont Industrials plant on Betelgeuse.[10]
A raiding party consisting of forces from both Andurien and Zion struck at Betelgeuse during the second week of November 3069.[11]
Political Structure
Home to Warrior House Kamata who vigorously guard the weapon factories, Betelgeuse belongs to the Duchy of Betelgeuse, Sian Commonality, Capellan Confederation.
In 3031 the planetary Diem was Lord Alex Douglas Wilf; the planetary ComStar representative was Precentor Niyobo Saluci.
Other
- In real life, Betelgeuse is one of the (or even the) biggest stars known, a bloated red supergiant with an estimated diameter of 697 million kilometers (compared to 1.4 million kilometers for our sun, Sol). As such, it is unlikely that it would have two or more planets, and even more unlikely that its second planet could be colonized by humans. Some scientists believe that Betelgeuse will go supernova within the next 1000 years, i.e. before the storyline of Classic BattleTech. The spectral class given for the star in BattleTech sources (M2 I) is correct and corresponds with real-life sources.
- Betelgeuse is alternatively spelled Betelgeuze, Beteigeuze or Beteigeuse.
