Axton III, more commonly known simply as Axton, is the third planet in the Axton system and has been host to both an industrial facility belonging to Wangker Aerospace and a training facility operated by the New Avalon Institute of Science. Axton has two moons named Greenback and Jerimiah.[1]

Planetary History[edit]

Second Succession War[edit]

In October 2829, the Davion Heavy Guards and Third Ceti Hussars landed on Axton as a part of Operation RAIN—one of two offensives into the Capellan Confederation being conducted simultaneously (the other being Operation SUN). The defending Third Liao Lancers fought a handful of minor clashes, despite being heavily outnumbered, before deciding to withdraw rather than be destroyed.[13]

The Jihad[edit]

In the Jihad era, on Axton housed a NAIS College of Military Sciences Training Facility at Fort Vanders on the continent of Navidad. This facility trained infantry, battle armor, BattleMech, and conventional vehicle senior classmen who couldn't finish their studies at the NAIS while it was rebuilding.[1]
