Planetary Info

A dry mountainous world, Bolan was originally settled by people from the Indian subcontinent on Terra. Fortunately the world had enough natural resources to support a modest population and industrial capability. These capabilities were later improved, and Bolan housed a SLDF base on the island continent of Sabari. Unfortunately when the Free Worlds League withdrew from the world during the First Succession War, the FWLM commanders deployed nuclear weapons to destroy the industrial facilities and Star League base so the Lyran Commonwealth couldn't benefit from them. As a result, large parts of both Sakete and Kashmir (the northern and southern continents) are still affected by radioactivity, and Sabari is completely uninhabitable.[1]

The original settlers, once freed from their Terran Alliance oppressors, quickly fell to fighting among themselves. Water, trade routes, and access to natural resources were all subject to conflicts between the numerous city-states that formed the world. These conflicts have been a part of Bolan culture since the early settlers, and continue even today. The latest conflict was between Quetta and Sibi, two city-states fighting over a mountain pass. Settling the issue required intervention from the 1st Bolan Jaegers.[1]

Bolan also houses the Melissa Steiner Martial Academy of Bolan and serves as a regional headquarters for both the LCAF and LIC.[1]
