History Brief

Outreach was first settled during the twenty-second century by Terran colonists attracted to 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 however tourism became the mainstay of the planet's economy after it played host to the Star League Martial Olympiads in 2704. Outreach's tourism industry withered following the collapse of the Star League which forced many inhabitants to emigrate.

Outreach came under Capellan control in 2786 and its fortunes 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 who were considered one of the most famous and formidable mercenary units in the Inner Sphere. This heralded a renaissance for Outreach as the Dragoons transformed it into the center of mercenary trade for the entire Inner Sphere.

Due to the presence of Dragoons and their state-of-the-art defenses monitoring all incoming traffic, the planet became an island of calm after the Sarna March collapsed into the so-called Chaos March. In response to the increasing influence of the fanatical ComStar off shoot the Word of Blake in the Chaos March the Dragoons formed the Allied Mercenary Command. Blakist supported mercenary units staged a rebellion which heavily damaged the Dragoons and Outreach's facilities. On the 26th December 3067 during the Word of Blake Jihad, the planet suffered terribly from nuclear orbital bombardment which 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.

  • Tiger Sharks returned from a training cycle to join the attack against the AMC forces alongside the 51st Dark Panzer Jaegers.
  • AMC Forces included; the Dragoon's Wolf Spiders Battalion, Zeta Battalion, Beta and Epsilon regiments. the Broadsword Legion was hired to aid in the defence.

In 4 days of heavy fighting the Home Guard and the Epsilon Regiment were destroyed while other defending units suffered heavy casualties. In the final actions of the battle the Broadsword Legion turned on its erstwhile allies and inflicted serious damage on the Wolf Spider Battalion suffering crippling losses in the process. The remnants of the Broadsword Legion and the mercenary unit Wanamaker's Widowmakers remained to garrison Outreach through out 3068-3071


Battle of Mars

A counter strike by the AMC against the Word of Blake forces on Mars ended in disaster as the AMC forces were intercepted in orbit and largely destroyed.

Second Battle of Outreach

Highlights of the Battle

The Word of Blake retaliated with a major assault on Outreach, this time with the goal of destroying the Dragoons. Despite the betrayal by the Broadsword Legion, the Dragoons were able to rally and, at one point, pushed the Blakist invaders to the point of collapse. The Word of Blake had WarShips waiting in orbit, and when it was determined victory would not come through a ground battle alone, they launched nuclear strikes against the Dragoons, completely devastating the unit. General Maeve Wolf gathered what survivors she could and evacuated with the assistance of Clan Wolf-in-Exile and the Kell Hounds, finding sanctuary on Arc-Royal.

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.
