The '''Hellespont''' system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of [[3145]] was an independent system located in the near [[Periphery]] between the borders of the [[Calderon Protectorate]] and the [[Taurian Concordat]].<ref name="ER:3145p39"/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

A [[Taurian Concordat]] world, '''Hellespont''' is headquarters of the [[ComStar]] [[Explorer Corps]] Rimward Operations Area. <ref name=EC-13>''Explorer Corps (sourcebook)'', p. 13, "Explorer Corps Operation Command Roster"</ref>

The Hellespont system is located slightly more than two jumps from the nearest notable systems to have been inhabited during the history of the Concordat, [[Argos]] and [[Carthage]].<ref name="ER:3145p39"/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

==System History==
+
== Planetary History ==
The Hellespont system was either colonized by the Taurian Concordat at some point during the wave of clandestine colonization performed during the early [[thirty-first century]], or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this period to have its location recorded on maps by [[Inner Sphere]] nations.<ref name="H:MPSp121"/><ref name="TPp151"/><ref name="H:MPSp127"/><ref name="H:Wo3039p133"/>
+
While '''Hellespont''' declined offers to join the breakaway [[Calderon Protectorate]] when the Protectorate seceded from the Taurian Concordat, this resource-rich world played a vital role in providing supplies to the Protectorate.<ref name="M&Mp185">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 185, "Assessment"</ref> Supplies such as modular construction and housing units built in the Taurian Concordat flowed through Hellespont to worlds like [[Erod's Escape]] until the Concordat War of Vengeance against the [[Federated Suns]] caused supplies to dry up.<ref name="M&Mp190">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 190, "Taurian Concordat Key Worlds"</ref> The war between the Taurian Concordat and Federated Suns officially ended on the 2nd of July [[3080]] in the aftermath of [[Operation MATADOR]], but the fortunes of the Concordat continued to decline. Many worlds, lacking confidence in the Concordat's central government, seceded from the Concordat; [[Tyrrhenia]] was the first of the Concordat worlds to do so,<ref name="FM:3085p131"/> leaving the Concordat even before the [[Jihad]] had begun, with Hellespont leaving soon after,<ref name="H:MPSp127"/><ref name="J:FRp43"/> and a number of other worlds close to the border of the Calderon Protectorate had done the same by [[3085]]. Where the Taurian government had fought a war a decade before with the breakaway Protectorate, Tyrrhenia and the other worlds that left the Concordat in the aftermath of the Jihad were effectively ignored in favour of reinforcing the narrow salient securing the [[Pleiades Cluster]].<ref name="FM:3085p131">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 131, "Taurian Concordat"</ref>
