Bharat was originally settled by colonists from [[Terra]]'s Indian subcontinent. As part of that colonization effort they brought with them many Terran tree species. By the time of the [[Star League]], Bharat was one of the largest exporters of rare hardwoods in the Inner Sphere. The world's only military manufacturer was Killosh Industries, notable for producing the [[Magi]] tank, but they retooled to produce civilian logging equipment to avoid bankruptcy during the [[Star League era]].<ref name=DARWp75/> | Bharat was originally settled by colonists from [[Terra]]'s Indian subcontinent.

For most of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], Bharat was controlled by the Capellan Confederation. In addition to its traditional exotic wood exports, Bharat hosted wealthy Capellans who would hunt the world's flora and fauna or just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. When the world was taken by the Federated Suns in the [[Fourth Succession War]], this trend continued, with wealthy Capellans being replaced by wealthy Lyrans and Federates.<ref name=DARWp75/> | For most of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], Bharat was controlled by the Capellan Confederation.

| − | + | During [[Operation SCOUR]] [[Major General]] [[Walter White-Davion]] of the [[Fifth Crucis Lancers]] - and effectively the senior officer in charge of Group I of the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR - contacted the front commander, [[Field Marshal]] [[Katheryn Sandoval-Ito]] in July [[3077]] to express his concerns over the plan to attack Bharat. Citing the report given by [[Colonel]] [[Jasmine Cross]] of the AFFS Engineering Corps on the fall of the Fox's Den on [[New Avalon]] to the Word of Blake earlier in the [[Jihad]], White-Davion argued that the fortress established by the Word on Bharat would take far more by way of heavy equipment and engineering specialists to breach than was currently available, and risked turning into a military disaster if the task force wasn't correctly prepared.<ref name="JHS:Tp39">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39: "Bharat Roadblock"</ref> | |
| − | + | It was subsequently noted in media outlets within the Federated Suns that Bharat had been liberated by the end of 3077 despite the determined resistance offered by the Blakist forces on the planet; allegedly, the first [['Mech]] to breach the walls of the fortress on Bharat that Major General White-Davion had flagged was Field Marshal Sandoval-Ito, piloting her personal 'Mech, a vintage ''[[Devastator]]''.<ref name="JHS:Tp40">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 40: "Sandoval-Ito: A Study in Success"</ref> On the 9th of November 3077 the Word of Blake news service, [[Voice of Truth]], issued a broadcast alleging that the allied coalition forces on Bharat had deliberately shelled a refugee camp during the battle for the world.<ref name="JHS:Tp53+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 53–54: "Stone's Evil Stain"</ref> | |

Bharat IV, more commonly known simply as Bharat, is the fourth planet of five in the Bharat system and has been home to at least one notable military defense manufacturer, Killosh Industries.[2]
Planetary History[edit]
Bharat was originally settled by colonists from Terra's Indian subcontinent. As part of that colonization effort they brought with them many Terran tree species. By the time of the Star League, Bharat was one of the largest exporters of rare hardwoods in the Inner Sphere. The world's only military manufacturer was Killosh Industries, notable for producing the Magi tank, but they retooled to produce civilian logging equipment to avoid bankruptcy during the Star League era.[2]
For most of the Succession Wars, Bharat was controlled by the Capellan Confederation. In addition to its traditional exotic wood exports, Bharat hosted wealthy Capellans who would hunt the world's flora and fauna or just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. When the world was taken by the Federated Suns in the Fourth Succession War, this trend continued, with wealthy Capellans being replaced by wealthy Lyrans and Federates.[2]
The Word of Blake launched a wave of attacks during the first two weeks of July 3069 that targeted the worlds of Bharat, Deneb Kaitos, Ingress, Kawich and Ruchbah. Bharat was one of the worlds to fall in the face of a conventional assault, and was incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[23] Later in the Jihad the Word of Blake established several "reeducation" camps on the world. The Blakist forces stationed on the world eventually strangled the tourism industry, but fortunately for Bharat the exotic wood export industry remains strong.[2]
During Operation SCOUR Major General Walter White-Davion of the Fifth Crucis Lancers - and effectively the senior officer in charge of Group I of the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR - contacted the front commander, Field Marshal Katheryn Sandoval-Ito in July 3077 to express his concerns over the plan to attack Bharat. Citing the report given by Colonel Jasmine Cross of the AFFS Engineering Corps on the fall of the Fox's Den on New Avalon to the Word of Blake earlier in the Jihad, White-Davion argued that the fortress established by the Word on Bharat would take far more by way of heavy equipment and engineering specialists to breach than was currently available, and risked turning into a military disaster if the task force wasn't correctly prepared.[30]
It was subsequently noted in media outlets within the Federated Suns that Bharat had been liberated by the end of 3077 despite the determined resistance offered by the Blakist forces on the planet; allegedly, the first 'Mech to breach the walls of the fortress on Bharat that Major General White-Davion had flagged was Field Marshal Sandoval-Ito, piloting her personal 'Mech, a vintage Devastator.[31] On the 9th of November 3077 the Word of Blake news service, Voice of Truth, issued a broadcast alleging that the allied coalition forces on Bharat had deliberately shelled a refugee camp during the battle for the world.[32]
Dark Age[edit]
Between 3110 and 3130, DiNapoli Industries founded a number of light manufacturing divisions on Bharat, producing items to support DiNapoli heavy manufacturing divisions on other worlds, primarily Ankaa. Following the takeover of DiNapoli Industries by Jacob Bannson in 3132, Bannson attempted to close the divisions on Bharat and laid of large numbers of workers, despite widespread union protest.[33]
