Description
Herat was one of the four worlds of the Khwarazm Empire, located coreward from the Inner Sphere. A mountainous world covered with large desert areas, it had temperatures slightly warmer than Terra. Khwarazmi technology was well below that of the Inner Sphere.
The Khwarazmi people were poor, subsistence farmers, while the merchant ruling class lived in relative opulence. This all changed after the Clan Invasion, as Clan Jade Falcon severely curtailed the rulers' freedoms.
The Explorer Corps had wanted to insert spies throughout the region to gather intelligence on Clan movements, while also supporting anti-Clan resistance in the empire.[1]
Political Affiliation
- prior to 3059 - Khwarazm Empire

Notes
- Clan Jade Falcon occupied all the Khwarazm Empire in 3049, suggesting location in the Jade Falcon invasion corridor, coreward of the Lyran Commonwealth.[citation needed]
- Commentary from one of the BattleTech Line Developers suggests that the Khwarazm Empire was destroyed or depopulated during the Wars of Reaving:
| “ | Considering they were used by the Jade Falcons, and what has happened to the rest of the Coreward posessions [sic] of the Inner Sphere Clans....
