'''Lushann''' has a semi-arctic global climate, but due to its former geologic past, it enjoys an abundance of oil deposits, of which the planet's primary industry -the petrochemical companies- take full advantage. Close to two-thirds of the population works for the industry, and Lushann is the largest source of petrochemicals in the Outworlds Alliance.<ref name=O:TCp19/> The second largest industry is weapons manufacturing, as represented by Lushann Industries, which employs almost the remaining one third.<ref name=M&M>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 163: "Lushann Industrials Limited"</ref>
 
  
−
Most of the workers live in underground facilities to protect them against the forbidding temperatures. Those who live on the surface must do so under one of the many domes that protect the larger cities. Since life on Lushann can be bleak, every summer the capital city Grimaldi holds MechWarrior games. This is one of the few exceptions to the Alliance's standing policy of forbidding non-Alliance military and paramilitary forces from entering the realm.<ref name="P120"/>

===Planetary History===
+
==Planetary Info==
−
Lushann was a central and important industrial world within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. After the major [[Periphery]] states rejected the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]], the [[Star League]] began planning for the forced incorporation of all of the Periphery nations into the Star League. Operation UNION HOLD was the name given to the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, which saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Lushann escaped the attentions of the Star League and Combine forces - collectively referred to as the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - until early [[2583]] when three years of battles for control of the world began.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>
+
'''Lushann''' has a semi-arctic global climate, but due to its former geologic past, it enjoys an abundance of oil deposits, of which the planet's primary industry -the petrochemical companies- take full advantage. Close to two-thirds of the population works for the industry, and Lushann is the largest source of petrochemicals in the Outworlds Alliance.<ref name=O:TCp19/> The second largest industry is weapons manufacturing, as represented by Lushann Industries, which employs almost the remaining one third.<ref name=M&M/>

The SLDF [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] had conquered the nearby world of [[Ki Zoban]] in January [[2583]],<ref name="H:RWp123">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 123: "Ki Zoban"</ref> and the V Corps commander, [[Major General]] [[Victoria Zibler]], ordered the entire [[15th BattleMech Division|Fifteenth Division]] to attack Lushann in March. The Fifteenth Division was tasked to destroy the defenders, in particular the [[Pitkin Lancers]], who were equipped with advanced Star League [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] captured after the surrender of the [[Thirty-seventh Royal Brigade]] on [[Haynesville]] in [[2582]].<ref name="H:RWp124+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124: "Baby Killers Unleashed"</ref>
+
The planet has four continents, Texas, Energia, Evergreen where the capital city Grimandi is located and Hellas.<ref name=O:TCp19/>
  
−
[[Cerberus (system)|Cerberus]], the most heavily industrialized planet in the Alliance, had just been attacked and occupied by [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] under the command of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]. With Cerberus occupied, the Alliance couldn't afford to lose an important industrial world like Lushann; Alliance President [[Grigori Avellar]] ordered the [[Pitcairn Legion]] to Lushann, with orders to defend the world at all costs. When the Legion arrived in late April, the planetary garrison had managed to stubbornly hold the cities of Rotta and Sanbornton against the Fifteenth Division, but were losing the battle elsewhere. [[Elias Pitcairn]] took the fight straight at the Fifteenth when the Legion arrived on-planet, to which Zibler responded by directly engaging the Legion forces, pinning them in place while Forlough continued a two-month campaign to destroy the Alliance's ability to resist.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>
+
Most of the workers live in underground facilities to protect them against the forbidding temperatures. Those who live on the surface must do so under one of the many domes that protect the larger cities. Since life on Lushann can be bleak, every summer the capital city (Grimaldi) holds MechWarrior games. This is one of the few exceptions to the Alliance's standing policy of forbidding non-Alliance military and paramilitary forces from entering the realm.<ref name="P120"/>
  
−
When leaked intelligence alerted the [[Outworlds Alliance Militia]] Chairman [[Welkens Nordd]] to the impending SLDF attack on [[Tellman IV]], he had no choice but to withdraw the Pitcairn Legion from Lushann and try and blunt Forlough's campaign against other Alliance worlds, but Nordd ordered the [[Fourth Armored Division]] to Lushann to allow the Legion to extract itself from the ongoing battle.<ref name="H:RWp124++"/>
+

The conflicts on Cerberus, [[Tellman IV]] and Lushann in 2583 inflicted a heavy toll on those involved, reducing the level of conflict to a constant slow grind by late 2853/early [[2584]].<ref name="H:RWp125">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 125: "Year Four: Slow Grind"</ref> Lushann proved a source of embarrassment for Star League [[First Lord of the Star League|First Lord]] [[Ian Cameron]] when the first true Interstellar Aid Organization, [[Borderless Hope]], not only had three separate aid expeditions to worlds within the Alliance refused permission to land by [[Amos Forlough]] in 2583 and 2584, but then had two dozen aid workers killed on Lushann in September 2583 when fired on by Forlough's troops.<ref name="H:RWp125+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 125: "Borderless Hope"</ref>

By the time [[Major General]] [[Franklin Barnex]] replaced [[Amos Forlough]] as commander of the Task Force in June 2584, the battle on Lushann had spent seven months smoldering rather than flaring; within weeks of taking over, a visit to the Star League forces on Lushann by Barnex had caused the conflict to briefly heat up again, but even the arrival of the [[Forty-second Brigade]] to join the Fifteenth Division forces after the Forty-second's raid on [[Loparri]] hadn't managed to give the Star League forces the impetus or strength needed to conquer Lushann.<ref name="H:RWp126+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126: "Negotiation"</ref> Lushann remained a contested world up until peace was declared on 1 August [[2585]] with the [[Treaty of Cerberus]].<ref name="H:RWp126"/>

Lushann was a central and important industrial world within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. After the major [[Periphery]] states rejected the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]], the [[Star League]] began planning for the forced incorporation of all of the Periphery nations into the Star League. Operation UNION HOLD was the name given to the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, which saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Lushann escaped the attentions of the the Star League and Combine forces - collectively referred to as the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - until early [[2583]] when three years of battles for control of the world began.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>

During the [[Jihad]], Lushann suffered a surprisingly low amount of 'interest' by the [[Word of Blake]]. It has been opined that this may have been due to the degree of difficulty any attacks upon [[Lushann Industries Limited]] would have had, as all of its facilities are underground, while others speculated it was by the protection provided by the [[Fourth Alliance Air Wing]], stationed on the southern continent, that persuaded the Blakists to look elsewhere.<ref name=M&M/>

The [[SLDF]] [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] had conquered the nearby world of [[Ki Zoban]] in January [[2583]],<ref name="H:RWp123">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 123, "Ki Zoban"</ref> and the V Corps commander, [[Major General]] [[Victoria Zibler]], ordered the entire [[15th Division]] to attack Lushann in March. The 15th Division was tasked to destroy the defenders, in particular the [[Pitkin Lancers]], who were equipped with advanced Star League [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] captured after the surrender of the [[37th Royal Brigade]] on [[Haynesville]] in [[2582]].<ref name="H:RWp124+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 124, "Baby Killers Unleashed"</ref>

[[Cerberus (planet)|Cerberus]], the most heavily industrialized planet in the Alliance, had just been attacked and occupied by [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] under the command of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]. With Cerberus occupied, the Alliance couldn't afford to lose an important industrial world like Lushann; Alliance President [[Grigori Avellar]] ordered the [[Pitcairn Legion]] to Lushann, with orders to defend the world at all costs. When the Legion arrived in late April, the planetary garrison had managed to stubbornly hold the cities of Rotta and Sanbornton against the [[15th Division]], but were losing the battle elsewhere. [[Elias Pitcairn]] took the fight straight at the 15th when the Legion arrived on-planet, to which Zibler responded by directly engaging the Legion forces, pinning them in place while Forlough continued a two-month campaign to destroy the Alliance's ability to resist.<ref name="H:RWp124"/>
