Planetary Info
Csesztreg was settled for its vast expanses of heavy metals. These metals were a key component of Lyran industry, but it wasn't until the Jamerson-Ulikov water purification technique was perfected that this world could be safely inhabited. The metals that were so prized by industry wreaked havoc on the human body, but the purification technique removed them and allowed humans to safely drink the water on the world.[1]
The metals that were exported were so valuable that Csesztreg reached economic independence within three decades of the initial colonists arriving. The prominence of their heavy metal exports and lack of heavy industry to generate weapons of war allowed Csesztreg to prosper, even during the chaotic era of the Succession Wars. The lack of heavy industry didn't lure raiding parties, and the heavy metals were vital to Lyran weapon manufacturers. This meant that a many kroner flowed into the coffers of Csesztreg. Unfortunately the water purification plants were failing at this time, and after the Draconis Combine took the world late in the Third Succession War, this process accelerated. Many dissidents and political prisoners from Rasalhague were imprisoned on the world, sentenced to work in the mines. Most of these dissidents died, either in mining accidents or from heavy metal poisoning.[1]
The LCAF High Command didn't prioritize Csesztreg for liberation during the Fourth Succession War, instead choosing to liberate other Combine-held worlds. This apparent lack of interest by the LCAF angered the many Lyran descended inhabitants of the world, and when the Free Rasalhague Republic formed, Csesztreg's rulers petitioned to enter that realm. They were accepted, and quickly became an important part of the FRR economy. At this same time, information from the Helm Memory Core allowed engineers to recreate and repair the water-purification plants on the world.[1]
During the Clan Invasion Csesztreg was taken by Clan Wolf in their second wave of attacks. The implementation of a caste system created a great deal of resentment among the population, as they were certain that this would lead to Combine-style labor camps and prison facilities. Clan Wolf spent much of the next quarter century making efforts to implement their caste system without causing outright war with the citizens.[1]
Clan Hell's Horses took the world from the Wolves in 3074. They then established their Clan's headquarters on the world, along with manufacturing lines, training camps, sibkos, and the primary Hell's Horses genetic repository. The combination of prefabricated production units with Csesztreg's vast natural resources have allowed the planet to rapidly produce ammunition, Battle Armor, and ProtoMech units. The planet's BattleMech assembly lines opened in 3077. To prevent overcrowding, the Hell's Horses have established their touman headquarters and genetic repository away from the capital city of Budapest. Instead their efforts are located around Szrged, on a different continent.[1]
