'''Mirfak''' was a hot dry world with a population of roughly 49,000 in [[3028]]. At that point the planet had several small productive mines being worked, producing [[germanium]] and other valuable radioactive ores and the local government was attempting to establish larger, more profitable mining concerns to improve trade. The degree of security surrounding that matter suggested a substantial find somewhere in the Mirfak system. The planet had no [[HPG]] facility.<ref name=P85/>

When [[Baron (noble title)|Baron]] [[Cham Kithrong]] elected to create the Calderon Protectorate, four worlds garrisoned by [[VI Corps (Taurian Concordat)|VI Corps]] formed the basis of the Protectorate. Mirfak was one of these worlds—and was one of the first worlds to be attacked by [[TDF]] forces loyal to the Concordat. The VI Corps elements on Mirfak were pushed offworld by October [[3066]], and while the Protectorate contested the Concordat control of Mirfak in [[3067]], the world remained a Concordat world in every practical sense.<ref name="HB:MPSp126">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 126: "Calderon Protectorate"</ref> The fighting on Mirfak as a result of the formation of the Protectorate cost [[Taurus Majoris Mining]] their facilities on Mirfak.<ref name="HB:MPSp120">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 120: "Taurus Majoris Mining"</ref>
