The '''Anywhere''' system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of June [[3152]] was located in the [[Clan Hell's Horses]] Occupation Zone.<ref name=TRp72/>

__TOC__

== System Description ==
The Anywhere system is located near the [[Lackhove]] and [[Somerset]] systems.<ref name=ER:3145p38/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game [[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]], set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of only 5 million for Galuzzo and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert": "ice", or "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "A real nowhere unless you're a pirate."{{ApocryphalContentEnd}}

== System History ==
The Anywhere system was settled during or soon after the [[First Exodus]] from [[Terra]], but joined the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] prior to the [[Age of War]].<ref name="TP1Ep18"/>

== Planetary History ==
===Early History===
Anywhere was one of the worlds targeted by [[Maxwell Rowe]] during his efforts to build up the Rim Worlds Republic, beginning in [[2330]]; Rowe began by negotiating a series of trade and barter pacts with worlds like Anywhere, carefully avoiding any suggestions of a military alliance, defensive or otherwise. Rowe added offers of social and technological favors including access to new Rim Worlds Republic university facilities over time, and through guile and slow but steady progress persuaded the natives of Anywhere to join the Republic.<ref name="TP1Ep18">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 18: "From Rim to Tamar"</ref>

===Reunification War===
By the end of the [[Age of War]] Anywhere was a member of the [[Apollo Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130: "The Spark"</ref>

The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (planet)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133: "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>

In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>

[[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] assigned a [[division]] from [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]], the [[11th Royal Division|Eleventh Royal Division]], to the conquest of Anywhere in [[2594]]. The Star League forces successfully took control of Lackhove,<ref name="H:RWp139">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139: "Bitter Harvests (2591-2596)"</ref> defeating the local militia forces, and remained in place as the local garrison until the Eleventh was redeployed for the invasion of [[Steelton]] in [[2595]].<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref>

===Star League Era===
Anywhere was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[2773]]-2775 [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37: "The Republic-Commonwealth War"</ref>

===Succession Wars===
====After the War of 3039====
In October [[3044]], a group of archeologists with [[Interstellar Expeditions]] contracted the [[Ace Darwin's WhipIts|WhipIts]] to provide security while they performed a dig on an abandoned Star League-era city on the planet]. The WhipIts by then were reduced to Ace himself and two other 'Mechs.<ref>''Shrapnel #8, ''Ace Darwin and the Battle of the Beer Fridge'' p. 136-139</ref>

=== Clan Invasion ===
* See more in [[Battle of Anywhere (3050)]].
In March [[3050]] Anywhere was a target during the first wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]], the [[Clan]] invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]]. The planetary defenders included the [[AFFC]] [[Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs]] and the [[Anywhere Militia]]. Clan Jade Falcon invaded Anywhere with the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Falcon Regulars]] of [[Vau Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]] leading the assault. The battle for control of the planet was fought across three locations: Pickrock Hill, Brigham Rollo, and Santina Trespass. The Eighth Falcons' speed in their attacks on the Chasseurs caused the AFFC combined-arms force to make several costly mistakes which led to the RCT losing 60% of their forces and the [[Federated Commonwealth]] losing control of the planet to the Falcons.<ref name="CJFSB">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37: Anywhere - battle for Anywhere mauls 2nd New Ivaarsen Chasseurs.</ref>

===Clan Ice Hellion Invasion===
During the [[Jihad]], Clan Ice Hellion [[Operation: Ice Storm|launched an invasion]] of a number of Clan Jade Falcon worlds including Anywhere. The Ice Hellions captured the planet briefly in June 3071 with [[saKhan]] [[Conner Rood]] ahead of his [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Beta]] & [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxies]] task force. However, the Ice Hellions were later repulsed by Falcon forces in October 3071.<ref name="JHS3076p17">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 17: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp50">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 50: "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 28, 31: "Operation: Ice Storm" - Military Campaign of the Ice Hellions' capturing the planet briefly. Though not noted operation briefs, Anywhere on the post-invasion map shows to be still a Clan Jade Falcon World.</ref><ref>[http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=69384.0 Writers answer question, when Anywhere was retaken.] (dead link)</ref>

===ilClan Era===
When the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone was left defenseless in [[3151]] following the [[ilClan Trial]], Anywhere was annexed to the [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]] OZ in November by the [[5th Rangers (Clan Hell's Horses)|Fifth Rangers]].<ref name=TRp60/>
