Planetary Info
Acamar was discovered early in the 23rd Century by a survey team from Tikonov. The world was described as a constant winter wonderland. Acamar wasn't considered for colonization until vast titanium ore deposits were located. This discovery was followed by precious-metal deposits of gold and silver. These vast ore deposits made Acamar a jewel coveted by Houses Liao, Davion, and Marik.
Acamar's climate did not deter colonists. Though it had three continents and a very large island group, only the continent of Katenga was suitable for colonization. Even though it was situated in the planet's equatorial region, even this continent wasn't immune from the winter storms. Katenga has two large valleys where most of the planet's population is located. Trans-Mahn is the southern valley, where the Mahn River flows and the city of Huss was founded. The Osz Forest covers the northern approach to the valley, where the Otal foothills separate Trans-Mahn from Tomahn Moraine. Tomahn is the larger of the two valleys. The capital city Kalskag is located in the northeastern part of the valley. The second-largest city, Flat, is southwest of the capital near the Tokal Mountains, where a large silver mine is located. Acamar's remaining continents of Tamarack and Asta are in the northern hemisphere where they are frozen year round, making them impossible to settle.
Acamar's planetary system has a large asteroid belt, called Illeudian, where mining operations are headquartered. The capital city of Acamar is Kalskag and the main center of trade is the city of Flat.
The Liao government gives Acamar's nobility the lion's share of profits from the planet's gold and silver trading, and so the nobles have always been staunchly pro-Liao. The merchant class, however, chafes under the status quo.
Fed-Com Civil War
The 1st Cunningham's Commandos defended the planet against the Olson's Rangers of the CCAF. The Capellan mercenaries had no chance and were destroyed.[citation needed]
The Jihad
During the Jihad, Word of Blake sympathizers in the government ordered the Acamar militia to lay down their arms.[1] This brought Acamar into the Blakist Protectorate by the 1st of August 3068[26] without a shot being fired. As a result, Acamar didn't suffer greatly during the horrors of the Jihad.[1] Acamar was invaded by allied coalition forces operating on the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR in January 3078; the most significant casualty of the battle for control of Acamar was the death of AFFS Marshal Katheryn Sandoval-Ito, who was succeeded by Marshal Jon Davion.[34] Marshal Sandoval-Ito fell in battle on the 7th of January, her Devastator BattleMech swamped by Word of Blake Purifier and Se'irim battle armor until it fell.[35]
After the Jihad, a native of Acamar became the Chairman of the Capellan Transitional Council, the advisory body established alongside the Capellan Transitional Government to ease the transition of former Capellan worlds into the newly-formed Republic of the Sphere. The Chairman, Su Xiaose, was mayor of Hess during the Jihad and led an anti-Blakist resistance movement on the world during the Word of Blake occupation of Acamar.[36]
