The Unification Movement active on Gillfillan's Gold and a number of other worlds in the region gained a significant boost when a town councilman named [[William Roberts]] discovered that his friend, [[James Moroney]], was the kind of stirring speaker needed to tip popular opinion in favor of bringing together several systems in a new interstellar nation. Morney - a former professor from the [[University of Regulus]] exiled from the [[Free Worlds League]] - had settled on Gillfillan's Gold in [[3041]] to start a new life as a simple farmer, but was persuaded to become the spokesman for the Unionists.<ref name="TP2Ep70">''The Periphery, Second Edition'', p. 70-72, "Rim Collection"</ref><ref name="HB:MPSp173">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 173-174, "Beginnings"</ref>

A devastating pirate raid on Otisberg in [[3046]] nearly derailed the efforts of the Unification Movement, but the arrival of [[Able's Aces]] tipped things back in favor of the Unionists after the Ace's leader, [[Major]] [[Jerry Able]], attended one of Moroney's speeches and persuaded his unit to join the cause, providing training and protection to the six worlds involved. With the signing of the [[Rim Collection Charter]] in [[3048]] the Rim Collection was founded, and James Moroney was declared the first President of the Collection and Gillfillan's Gold became the capital of this new interstellar polity.<ref name="TP2Ep70"/><ref name="HB:MPSp173"/>

During the first two decades of the Collection's history Gillfillan's Gold joined [[Slewis]] and [[Waypoint]] in exporting significant quantities of rugged local grains, luxury foodstuffs and livestock, with the [[Abbey District]] of the Free Worlds League and the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] being major customers.<ref name="HB:MPSp175+">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 175, "Economics"</ref>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates-475.37 : 113.18[e]

The Gillfillan's Gold system was home to at least one habitable world and as at 3145 was capital of the Rim Collection.[1][2]

System Description

The Gillfillan's Gold system is located near the Merlynpede and Otisberg systems.[3][4]

System History

The Gillfillan's Gold system was either colonised by the Rim Worlds Republic during the Star League era at some point after the end of the Reunification War, or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this period to be recorded on maps.[5][3][4]

Political Affiliation

invalid names, e.g. too many

Planetary History

Clan Invasion

The Unification Movement active on Gillfillan's Gold and a number of other worlds in the region gained a significant boost when a town councilman named William Roberts discovered that his friend, James Moroney, was the kind of stirring speaker needed to tip popular opinion in favor of bringing together several systems in a new interstellar nation. Morney - a former professor from the University of Regulus exiled from the Free Worlds League - had settled on Gillfillan's Gold in 3041 to start a new life as a simple farmer, but was persuaded to become the spokesman for the Unionists.[34][35]

A devastating pirate raid on Otisberg in 3046 nearly derailed the efforts of the Unification Movement, but the arrival of Able's Aces tipped things back in favor of the Unionists after the Ace's leader, Major Jerry Able, attended one of Moroney's speeches and persuaded his unit to join the cause, providing training and protection to the six worlds involved. With the signing of the Rim Collection Charter in 3048 the Rim Collection was founded, and James Moroney was declared the first President of the Collection and Gillfillan's Gold became the capital of this new interstellar polity.[34][35]

During the first two decades of the Collection's history Gillfillan's Gold joined Slewis and Waypoint in exporting significant quantities of rugged local grains, luxury foodstuffs and livestock, with the Abbey District of the Free Worlds League and the Magistracy of Canopus being major customers.[36]
