===Planetary History===
 +
====Third Succession War====
 +
Porthos was originally settled by Inheritors from the [[Elysian Fields]].<ref name=TPsp127/><ref name=IP3/>
  
−
Opening Statement: "Planet1 is the [orbital number] planet in the SystemName system [and is the regional capital of the FactionName6's Region5 district]. On the surface, the planet hosts CompanyName7's FactoryName8 industrial facility [and the summer palace of ImportantPerson9], while the Industrial Satellite4 facility orbits its moon, Moon10.
+
The [[Draconis Combine]] had a small garrison defending a depot on the planet on [[3024]] when pirates led by [[Helmar Valasek]] [[Battle of Porthos (3024)|raided]] the planet with a ''[[Union (DropShip class)|Union]]''-class [[DropShip]]. ''[[Locust]]''s, ''[[Wasp]]''s, and ''[[Stinger]]''s led a lighting attack and were able to seize the supplies they wanted and escaped off-world.<ref name=TRO3025p8/>
−
-->
+
 
 +
As of [[3025]], it was considered to have only "recently" been colonized.  This leads to the belief that the world and system were unpopulated prior to the [[thirty-first century]].<ref name=TPsp127>''The Periphery'', p. 127: "Elysian Fields"</ref><ref name=IP3>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 45</ref>
 +
 
 +
====Clan Invasion====
 +
The system was quickly conquered by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during [[Operation REVIVAL]] in September [[3049]]. When the Ghost Bears originally arrived they had expected no resistance, only to find a single warrior standing in their way. Uchi Tikidomo, formerly of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]], who had retired to Porthos where he had planned to live out his days in peace after serving with distinction in the [[War of 3039]]. Tikidomo met the Ghost Bears at their landing site near Deson Ranch in his ''[[Archer]]'' [[BattleMech]] and promptly challenged them for control of his defenseless world. The Ghost Bears immediately accepted his challenge, and [[Star Captain]] [[Ian DelVillar]] of [[Ourse Keshik (Clan Ghost Bear)|Ourse Keshik's]] Alpha [[OmniMech]] [[Star]] won the right to face off in his [[Nova]] BattleMech against Tikidomo. While the mismatched fight ended in a predictable fashion, Tikidomo's tenacity in the face of adversity so impressed the Star Captain that he agreed to hire the former warrior as a liaison between the planet's government and their new [[Clan]] overlords.<ref name=IC30>''Invading Clans'', p. 30</ref>
 +
 
 +
====First Combine-Dominion War====
 +
At some time during the [[First Combine-Dominion War]], the [[Thirteenth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] of the DCMS raided Porthos, one of the few worlds where [[Clan Ghost Bear]] had not launched an attack from.  While there, the Thirteenth seriously damaged [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s [[Fifth Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Phalanx]] before withdrawing.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112: "13th Sun Zhang Cadre (Tenacity)"</ref>
 +
 
 +
====Dark Age====
 +
The Bears had trouble integrating the system into their Occupation Zone and more problems integrating it into the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]. In the early 3090s, the Bears saw that [[Clan Hell's Horses]] was just giving up on some marginal systems, and decided to follow suit. Porthos was handed back to the Inheritors and the Bears withdrew to more complex systems. Porthos later joined with [[Santander V]] to form the proto-state known as [[The Havens]].<ref name=IP3>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 45</ref>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates90.139 : 475.846[e]

The Porthos system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 3145 was located in the Periphery region known as The Barrens.[1][2]

System Description[edit]

Porthos is located near the Santander V and Thule systems.[1][2]

System History[edit]

The Porthos system was colonized by the faction known as the Inheritors[3] and was either colonized during the Third Succession War or became significant enough during this era for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps.[4][5][6][7]

Planetary History[edit]

Third Succession War[edit]

Porthos was originally settled by Inheritors from the Elysian Fields.[35][3]

The Draconis Combine had a small garrison defending a depot on the planet on 3024 when pirates led by Helmar Valasek raided the planet with a Union-class DropShip. Locusts, Wasps, and Stingers led a lighting attack and were able to seize the supplies they wanted and escaped off-world.[16]

As of 3025, it was considered to have only "recently" been colonized. This leads to the belief that the world and system were unpopulated prior to the thirty-first century.[35][3]

Clan Invasion[edit]

The system was quickly conquered by Clan Ghost Bear during Operation REVIVAL in September 3049. When the Ghost Bears originally arrived they had expected no resistance, only to find a single warrior standing in their way. Uchi Tikidomo, formerly of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, who had retired to Porthos where he had planned to live out his days in peace after serving with distinction in the War of 3039. Tikidomo met the Ghost Bears at their landing site near Deson Ranch in his Archer BattleMech and promptly challenged them for control of his defenseless world. The Ghost Bears immediately accepted his challenge, and Star Captain Ian DelVillar of Ourse Keshik's Alpha OmniMech Star won the right to face off in his Nova BattleMech against Tikidomo. While the mismatched fight ended in a predictable fashion, Tikidomo's tenacity in the face of adversity so impressed the Star Captain that he agreed to hire the former warrior as a liaison between the planet's government and their new Clan overlords.[36]

First Combine-Dominion War[edit]

At some time during the First Combine-Dominion War, the Thirteenth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre of the DCMS raided Porthos, one of the few worlds where Clan Ghost Bear had not launched an attack from. While there, the Thirteenth seriously damaged Clan Ghost Bear's Fifth Phalanx before withdrawing.[37]

Dark Age[edit]

The Bears had trouble integrating the system into their Occupation Zone and more problems integrating it into the Ghost Bear Dominion. In the early 3090s, the Bears saw that Clan Hell's Horses was just giving up on some marginal systems, and decided to follow suit. Porthos was handed back to the Inheritors and the Bears withdrew to more complex systems. Porthos later joined with Santander V to form the proto-state known as The Havens.[3]

Military Deployment[edit]

3061[edit]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Deson Ranch: site of an important battle during Operation Revival[41]

Notes[edit]

According to an apocryphal source, the inhabited world in the Porthos system is in fact named Porthos-Delta, and is a moon with a breathable atmosphere orbiting a very large gas giant in the system.[42]
