These early first settlers had named this world '''Zara'''.<ref name="TC:WoKp107"/> [[Clan Blood Spirit]] also possessed early colonies on Zara, but could not keep them.<ref>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 22: "... As the conflicts grew fiercer, the Blood Spirits were forced off two worlds in the [[Kerensky Cluster]]: Albion and [Zara]. ..." The reference refers to Zara as "Homer", and is unclear the exact date of the eviction</ref> In [[2850]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces fought a Trial of Possession for the world, during this Trial Cloud Cobra Khan, [[Homer Telinov]] was killed. His death spurred the remaining Cobra forces to defeat the Falcons for control of the planet and named it after the fallen Khan.<ref name="TC:WoKp107"/> ===Other Clans and Conflicts in the 31st Century=== For much of its history, Clan Cloud Cobra was careful to not let other Clans colonize outside the Caulder landmass, for instance on the mini-continent of '''Bagrain'''.<ref name="TC:WoKp107"/> [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] was one of the early Clans that were allowed to settle this region with [[Clan Steel Viper]]. During the [[Hellion's Fury]] campaign of [[3050]] Homer was targeted by [[Clan Ice Hellion]]. They landed a Cluster and challenged the Cloud Cobras for six months of production of El Ghaza's primary OmniFighter factory. The Cobras were defeated and the Hellions won the Trial.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 36</ref> This remained the norm until the Jaguars were annihilated by the [[Inner Sphere]]'s [[Great Refusal]] on [[Strana Mechty]]. The destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar in [[3060]] caused Steel Vipers to attempt to seize the Jaguar enclave and their military outpost Firebase Hermes. However Cobras [[Khan]] [[Din Steiner]] dispatched forces and repulsed the Vipers from attempting taking the former Jaguar territory, and offered it to the [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Ravens]].<ref name="TC:WoKp107"/><ref name=Rising/><ref name=Diet>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 24: "Revenge Diet"</ref> In mid-January [[3062]] the [[Clan Steel Viper Touman|Steel Viper ''touman'']] had returned from the Inner Sphere after losing their [[Occupation Zone]] in their war with the Jade Falcons. The Vipers took out their frustrations on Homer and ousted the Snow Ravens from the planet's former Jaguar holdings. The Vipers then threatened to conquer the rest of the planet for themselves. This caused Cloud Cobra Khan Steiner to mount a strong defense of the capital which intimidated the Vipers from making any further incursions into Homer's interior.<ref name="TC:WoKp107"/><ref name=Rising/><ref name=Diet/> ===The Wars of Reaving=== In the wake of the [[Trial of Annihilation|Annihilation]] of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] by the [[Second Star League]], the [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworld]] Clans set off on a series of [[Wars of Possession]] for former Jaguar holdings, including the [[Trial of Abjuration]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] and [[Inner Sphere]] operations and migrations of [[Clan Ghost Bear|Clans Ghost Bear]], [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]], and [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Viper]].<ref>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', pp. 26–28: "Wars of Possession"</ref> [[Clan Star Adder]] did not strike immediately during these few years of increased military activity, instead focusing on integrating with its [[Trial of Absorption|Absorbed]] [[Clan Burrock]] ''[[Abtakha|abtakha]]'', and allowing other Clans to weaken through the internecine fighting. However, the Adders were not idle. In order to gain favor with their former-Burrock element, the Adders began Trials of Possession directed against Clan Burrock's long-time rivals, [[Clan Blood Spirit]], beginning in early [[3063]]. Perceiving weakness in other Clans and their Blood Spirit Trials sufficiently limited, the Star Adders took three colonies from [[3065]] to [[3067]], the [[Clan Wolf]] enclave on [[Hoard]] (along with [[Clan Ice Hellion]]'s holdings), the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] enclaves on [[Huntress]] and [[Marshall]], and the [[Clan Steel Viper]] holdings on Homer.<ref name=WoR15/><ref name=WoR22/><ref name=Diet/> The Homer Trial appears to be the most significant. The Trial may have been precipitated by public disagreements between [[Khan]]s [[Stanislov N'Buta]] of Clan Star Adder<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 73</ref> and [[Perigard Zalman]] of Clan Steel Viper<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 66–67</ref> on the floor of the Clan [[Grand Council of the Clans|Grand Council]]. In addition, the Adders' assault may have served as some form of mediation, even peacemaker, between increasing tension between [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Clans Cloud Cobra]] and Steel Viper. Close contact between Clans Cloud Cobra, Star Adder, and Steel Viper during the operation may have facilitated contact and formation of the "[[Snake Alliance]]". For several years following Homer, the Cobras, Adders, and Vipers focused their Trials of Possession against targets outside the three Clans.<ref name=WoR22/><ref name=Diet/> Likely protected by the Snake Alliance or undiscovered [[The Society|Society cell]]s within the Adder enclave, Homer remained relatively stable until [[3072]]. Homer even remained one of only seven systems with active [[HPG]] communications through the summer of [[3072]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 109: "Communication Breakdown"</ref> However in June, Clans Cloud Cobra and [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Goliath Scorpion]] moved against [[Huntress]], provoking retaliation by [[Clan Coyote]] and The Society. Losing their Huntress assets to the Cobras and Scorpions, the Society appeared to release a strain of [[Dagdan Brain Fever|Dagdan brain fever]], which killed everyone descended from the [[Morales (Bloodname)|Morales]], [[Beckett (Bloodname)|Beckett]], and [[Eaker (Bloodname)|Eaker]] [[Bloodhouse]]s. Homer suffered the largest number of casualties to the brain fever, with more than 8,000 dead in the city of Troy alone.<ref name=Troy>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 100–101: "The Fall of Szabo"</ref> The Society cells on Homer were subsequently discovered and purged by [[Hannibal Banacek]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 183–184: "Hannibal Banacek"</ref> Within the next 13 years, Clan Star Adder would lose its enclave on Homer, only to be replaced by [[Clan Coyote]] by [[3085]].<ref name=WoR248/><ref name=WoR249/> == Military Deployment == ====3061==== :<u>Clan Cloud Cobra</u> :[[Cobra Temple Keshik (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Cobra Temple Keshik]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[Beta Naval Reserve (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Beta Naval Reserve]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[33rd Battle (Clan Cloud Cobra)|33rd Battle Cluster]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[149th Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)|149th Cobra Guards]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[214th Cobra Fang (Clan Cloud Cobra)|214th Cobra Fangs]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[243rd Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)|243rd Cobra Guards]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> :[[59th Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)|59th Cobra Guards]]<ref name= FMWC161 >''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', 161</ref> * [[254th Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)]]<ref name=FMWC161/> * [[1st Raven Phalanx (Clan Snow Raven)]]<ref name=FMWC165>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 165: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> * [[6th Raven Battle (Clan Snow Raven)]]<ref name=FMWC165/> * [[5th Raven Wing (Clan Snow Raven)]]<ref name=FMWC165/> * [[14th Viper Regulars (Clan Steel Viper)]]<ref name=FMWC166>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 166: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> ==Geography== The planet is noted for its rich mineral deposits and slight heavy gravity. Homer has a low water table, but the largest bodies of water have toxic taints. The planet is dominated by large landmasses named Caulder and Fortune. These supercontinents are further broken down by five subcontinents, mountain ranges, and four landlocked seas. The world has few rivers, which draw water from both seas and underground lakes. Massive water processing plants dominate the landscape, to support cities and their agricultural settlements on the planet. == Planetary Locations == {{scrollbox| * Ochre Sea - Homer's largest landlocked body of water, like other seas, the water is tainted with heavy-metals rending them unusable by humans. The Ochre Sea separates the supercontinents of Caulder and Fortuna. The Ochre, like other seas, has inedible life known as gila toads. Chief predator on the planet, these toads are used for footwear, which they are highly prized for. City of El Ghaza is on its northern coastline. * Sakros Mountains - This is the mountain range that breaks up the subcontinents of Amis and Ortin. * Isthmus of Param (Mountain Range) - Mountain chain in Caulder landmass which connects to the subcontinents of Bagrain and Amis. * Caulder (landmass) - One of largest forms of geography on the planet, this region has been reserved for settlements for other Clans. Firebase Hermes, former Jaguar military installation is noted base in this region. * El Ghaza (City) - Planetary capital city of Homer and Clan Cloud Cobra. The city located off the northern shores of Ochre Sea. It is the home of the Cobra genetic repository and its majestic park known as Field of Remembrance. * Firebase Climax - Site of the first ''[[Crossbow]]'' engagement. Originally belonging to [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] and won in the corresponding Trial by [[Clan Steel Viper]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 178</ref> * Troy - City, and site of largest loss of life due to [[Dagdan Brain Fever|Dagdan brain fever]] in [[3072]]<ref name=Troy/> }} == Industrial Centers == * [[Complex H-4 CCC]] * [[Constantin Assembly Plant M27 A-E]] * [[Homer Orbital Aerospace Facility M13]] * [[Complex H-6]] == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (4 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[York (Clan_System)|York]] | class="lessthan30" | 11.2 | class="lessthan30" | [[Albion (Clan_System)|Albion]] | class="lessthan30" | 29.3 | class="over30" | [[Grant's Station]] | class="over30" | 38.2 | class="over30" | [[Gatekeeper]] | class="over30" | 59.4 |- | class="over60" | [[Brim]] | class="over60" | 62.1 | class="over60" | [[Delios]] | class="over60" | 62.2 | class="over60" | [[Kirin]] | class="over60" | 67.1 | class="over60" | [[Colleen]] | class="over60" | 78.2 |- | class="over60" | [[Paxon]] | class="over60" | 81.0 | class="over60" | [[Londerholm]] | class="over60" | 82.2 | class="over60" | [[Priori]] | class="over60" | 82.9 | class="over60" | [[Shadow]] | class="over60" | 91.0 |- | class="over60" | [[Lum]] | class="over60" | 94.0 | class="over60" | [[Tamaron]] | class="over60" | 96.1 | class="over60" | [[Barcella]] | class="over60" | 111.8 | class="over60" | [[Strana Mechty]] | class="over60" | 115.3 |- | class="over60" | [[Strato Domingo]] | class="over60" | 121.1 | class="over60" | [[Hellgate]] | class="over60" | 127.0 | class="over60" | [[Huntress]] | class="over60" | 134.4 | class="over60" | [[Ironhold]] | class="over60" | 136.1 |- |} ==Notes== *According to a [https://blainepardoe.wordpress.com/2019/07/21/original-map-of-clanspace-a-bit-of-battletech-history/ blog posting] by author [[Blaine Lee Pardoe]], back when he created the first map of Clan space (for the 1991 [[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]) he named the Homer system after a small town in Michigan. ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'' * ''[[Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials]]'' * ''[[Seeds of Loyalty]]'' (short story) * ''[[Shattered Sphere]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category:Systems|Homer]] [[Category: Clan Systems]] [[Category: Clan Cloud Cobra Systems]] [[Category: Clan Smoke Jaguar Systems]] [[Category: Clan Star Adder Systems]] [[Category: Clan Steel Viper Systems]] [[Category: Kerensky Cluster]] [[Category: Clan Homeworlds]]
