−	===Planetary History===	+	== Planetary History ==
−	Aix-la-Chapelle IV, more commonly known simply Aix-la-Chapelle, was colonized despite being inhospitable to human life, due to its huge mineral reserves. Within a century of human settlement the planet had been extensively mined and industrialized; by [[2600]] it was completely self-sufficient in manufacturing. Attempts to raise local livestock, on the other hand, all failed due to the harsh environment and the planet has always needed to import nonagricultural foodstuffs.<ref name="HB:HKp84"/>	+	Aix-la-Chapelle IV - more commonly known simply aix-la-Chapelle - is a world dominated by harsh weather and a nearly-poisonous atmosphere; the planet's long [[JumpShip]] recharge time is another hindrance. Despite these problems, the world had a plethora of natural resources that were perfect for heavy industry. For that reason Diplan 'Mechworks built a fortress-like factory on the world's single landmass. The efficiency of using locally-produced components and materials instead of imported ones has more than offset the need to import soil to grow crops and the ongoing imports of meat. Every attempt to raise livestock on the world failed due to the chemical taint and high pressure of the atmosphere.<ref name=O:DCp18/>
−	Aix-la-Chapelle was a [[Terran Alliance]] colony at the time of the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] of [[2236]], during which it was subject to harsh repression and struggled to rebuild after being granted independence. By [[2250]] the planet was still badly off, enough that native business leader [[Samantha Calderon]], who had thrown her money and energy into the reconstruction effort, finally decided to leave Aix-la-Chapelle and went on to found a future [[Taurian Concordat|Periphery power]] far from the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="HB:MPSp14">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 14: "Strange New Worlds: The Taurian Concordat"</ref>	+	== Political Affiliation ==

For that reason Diplan 'Mechworks built a fortress-like factory on the world's single landmass. The efficiency of using locally-produced components and materials instead of imported ones has more than offset the need to import soil to grow crops and the ongoing imports of meat.
