The planetary capital was the city of Shinzoka. The city itself was located near a swampy region.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 100: WoB's 23rd Division (Word of Blake) Unit profile</ref>

Only 15% of Moore's planetary surface is land, the rest of it is covered in oceans. Due to the high water content, most of the land is swamp. Moore was settled for the large supplies of uranium, germanium, and titanium.

Only 15% of '''Moore's''' planetary surface is land, the rest of it is covered in oceans. Due to the high water content, most of the land is swamp. Moore was settled for the large supplies of uranium, germanium, and titanium.

====Age of War====
 +
During the [[Age of War]], the Terran Hegemony and Draconis Combine arranged co-ownership of the world, allowing both nations to exploit the resources on the world.<ref name=DARWp21/>
  
===Age of War===
+
====Star League====
During the [[Age of War]], the Terran Hegemony and Draconis Combine arranged co-ownership of the world, allowing both nations to exploit the resources on the world.<ref name=DARWp18/>
+
Prior to the fall of the [[Star League]], Moore was the host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref name=FMSLDFp256>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 256: "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref>
  
===Star League===
+
During the [[Amaris Civil War]], Stefan Amaris allowed the Combine forces to garrison the world, making it a de facto Combine world. After the fall of the Star League, the Combine's ownership became official. Over the next centuries, the Combine jealously guarded the world, repulsing numerous attacks by the Lyran Commonwealth.<ref name=DARWp21/>

====Succession Wars====
 +
The famed [[Invincible (Individual Tharkad-class WarShip)|LCS ''Invincible'']] was badly damaged in fierce fighting over Moore during the [[Second Succession War]]. By 2850, the ship was so badly damaged that it was recalled to Tharkad to serve as a floating museum and monument.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 288</ref>
  
===Jihad===
+
====Jihad====
During the [[Jihad]] the Word of Blake took control of Moore to gain access to the extensive uranium mines.<ref name=DARWp18/> The attack on Moore began during the first week of April [[3069]],<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> and the invading mercenaries became involved in a running battle that took place in Moore's largest methane swamp. There an exploding BattleMech detonated several hidden pockets of methane gas. These explosions triggered a massive firestorm which blew across the main continent and destroyed nearly everything in its path, including the capital city.<ref name=DARWp18/>

Six years after the incident, Doctor [[Layton Amrhein]] of the Shizuoka University's biosciences department completed the first stages of an ongoing study into how that event, called "Day of Fire", affected the biosphere of the area, and taking into reference a [[2997]] survey they estimated 68% decrease for a five years period, and found out that in reality it was even worse with 79% of flora species and 72% of fauna decrease. So dangerous was this, that recently elected Director [[Edufriga Hollenstern]] pledged to make ecosystem recovery her administration's top priority in the coming years.<ref name=BDoFctaw30033076/>

Planetary History

Early History

The planetary capital was the city of Shinzoka. The city itself was located near a swampy region.[50]

Only 15% of Moore's planetary surface is land, the rest of it is covered in oceans. Due to the high water content, most of the land is swamp. Moore was settled for the large supplies of uranium, germanium, and titanium.

Age of War

During the Age of War, the Terran Hegemony and Draconis Combine arranged co-ownership of the world, allowing both nations to exploit the resources on the world.[1]

Star League

Prior to the fall of the Star League, Moore was the host to a Star League Defense Force garrison.[51]

During the Amaris Civil War, Stefan Amaris allowed the Combine forces to garrison the world, making it a de facto Combine world. After the fall of the Star League, the Combine's ownership became official. Over the next centuries, the Combine jealously guarded the world, repulsing numerous attacks by the Lyran Commonwealth.[1]

Succession Wars

The famed LCS Invincible was badly damaged in fierce fighting over Moore during the Second Succession War. By 2850, the ship was so badly damaged that it was recalled to Tharkad to serve as a floating museum and monument.[52]

Jihad

During the Jihad the Word of Blake took control of Moore to gain access to the extensive uranium mines.[1] The attack on Moore began during the first week of April 3069,[39] and the invading mercenaries became involved in a running battle that took place in Moore's largest methane swamp. There an exploding BattleMech detonated several hidden pockets of methane gas. These explosions triggered a massive firestorm which blew across the main continent and destroyed nearly everything in its path, including the capital city.[1]

Six years after the incident, Doctor Layton Amrhein of the Shizuoka University's biosciences department completed the first stages of an ongoing study into how that event, called "Day of Fire", affected the biosphere of the area, and taking into reference a 2997 survey they estimated 68% decrease for a five years period, and found out that in reality it was even worse with 79% of flora species and 72% of fauna decrease. So dangerous was this, that recently elected Director Edufriga Hollenstern pledged to make ecosystem recovery her administration's top priority in the coming years.[53]

As the allied coalition created by Devlin Stone began striking against Word of Blake Protectorate worlds the combined Clan Ghost Bear and Clan Snow Raven task force which had agreed to support the coalition struck at a number of Blakist worlds on the 21st of July 3076. Moore was one of the worlds targeted by the Clan forces, along with the nearby worlds of Dyev, Kervil, Ko, Lambrecht and Sabik;[54][55] the Ghost Bears attacked Moore with Theta Galaxy, a primarily defensive Galaxy that had been moved into an offensive role due to the damage taken by the other Beta Wave forces during the attack on Ascella shortly before. Theta performed poorly during the campaign, taking heavier losses than would be expected.[56]

After beginning reconstruction efforts, Coordinator Hohiro Kurita asked Devlin Stone that the Republic of the Sphere always remember the DCMS troops who fought to protect the world. As a result, Duncan Enterprises named their first vehicle, the Giggins after Sho-sa Eric Giggins.[1]
