Planetary Geography

Kathil has three major landmasses, Hurste, Muran and Thespia. The planetary capital, District City, is located on Muran.[2]

Planetary History

The Jihad

During the Jihad, as Capellan March and Capellan Confederation forces battled as a result of Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE and Operation THUNDERSTRIKE, the Capellans struck at the shipyards in orbit above Kathil, using Death Commandos to cripple the facility during the first two weeks of May 3069. Regular Capellan forces then struck at Kathil during the last two weeks of May as part of a campaign of raids leapfrogging from world to world en route to New Syrtis.[31]

The Word of Blake took advantage of the Capellan attacks on Kathil to launch their own assault on the system. The Blakist forces launched biological, chemical and nuclear weapons at the planet, but despite the massive casualties inflicted on the population reports indicated that a number of inbound attacks were successfully intercepted by AFFS AeroSpace Fighters. The Word forces successfully destroyed the shipyards and captured the remaining jump-capable vessels in the system.[31] The General Motors industrial factory complex on Kathil also took heavy damage, and as late as 3081 was still operating as little more than a single-line tank manufacturing plant.[32]

With the main General Motors facility in District City offline, the smaller GM plant in Nugent on Muran was lucky to escape destruction and was able to produce Combat Vehicles continuously again by 3079, although estimates suggested that the District City would be offline until the 3090s.[2] GM's survival as a company was heavily dependent on direct funding from the Federated Suns government on New Avalon at this point, and Princess Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion used this leverage to redirect the rebuilding efforts undertaken by the company. Where GM had been making the rebuilding of the BattleMech production lines on Kathil their highest priority, the Princess Regent instead instructed the company to diversify, placing more emphasis on the construction of assault tanks and battle armor.[33]

While the McKenna shipyards operated by Universal Air were completely destroyed by the Blakists, the JumpShip manufacturing facility at the Nadir JumpPoint escaped total destruction. The damage inflicted on the two facilities bankrupted the company, who sold the remaining assets to Federated-Boeing, and by 3079 Federated-Boeing had the Nadir yards capable of repairing Invader-class JumpShips, although estimates said that it would be years before the shipyards were actually manufacturing Invaders again.[34]
