History Brief
Outreach was first settled during the twenty-second century by Terran colonists attracted by the planet's warm climate, large tracts of arable land, and abundant natural resources. During these early years, Outreach became known as an agricultural exporter, but tourism became the mainstay of the planet's economy after the planet began to host the Star League Martial Olympiads in 2704. Following the collapse of the Star League toward the end of the century, however, Outreach's tourism industry quickly died, forcing many inhabitants to emigrate.
With the collapse of the Star League, Outreach came under Capellan control in 2786 and its fortune continued to decline until the Fourth Succession War. When the Federated Suns captured the planet following the cessation of hostilities, First Prince Hanse Davion granted Outreach to Wolf's Dragoons, the most famous and formidable mercenary unit in the Inner Sphere. That action heralded a renaissance for the world. Determined to create a home for themselves, the Dragoons had transformed Outreach into the center of the mercenary trade for the entire Inner Sphere.
With Outreach being the home of the Dragoons and equipped with state-of-the-art defenses monitoring all incoming traffic, the planet was an island of calm when the Sarna March collapsed into the so-called Chaos March. When the Dragoons formed the Allied Mercenary Command to fight the fanatical ComStar off-shoot the Word of Blake's increasing influence in the Chaos March, Blakist supported mercenary units staged a rebellion which heavily damaged the Dragoons and Outreach's facilities. During the subsequent Word of Blake Jihad, the planet suffered a worse fate when it became the victim of a nuclear orbital bombardment on 26 December, 3067, that crippled both the mercenary unit and their homeworld.[1][2] Blakist forces patrolled the ruins until being forced off-world by the reborn Black Widow Company.

Geography
Outreach contains twin continents, named Romulus and Remus. Romulus contains the planet's capital, Harlech, as well as all of its major cities and commercial enterprises. A mountain range known as the Ridge bisects Romulus, and outside of the cities, the continent's countryside turns in small farms and lightly forested hills. Remus, also known as the Outback, is the private hold of Wolf's Dragoons. The mercenary unit maintains a headquarters and training facilities on this arid desert continent. The entire planet enjoys a warm, temperate climate all year round.
