Planetary History
Riga was one of the worlds that formed a part of the Deep Periphery nation known as the Hanseatic League.[1]
Hanseatic Crusade
During Escorpión Imperio's takeover of the Hanseatic League, Alpha Galaxy advanced on Riga as part of Wave 4 in May 3140 after defeating Regional Defense Force Five on Köningsberg earlier in Wave 3. Riga fell with ease.[3]
Civil War Era
On 4 April 3067, Clan Diamond Shark merchant Mark Sennet attempted to conduct a live-fire demonstration of the Ha Otoko near Feuerberg for potential sale to the Hanseatic League. However, Regional Defense Force 4 Major Hohiro Watanabe betrayed him in order to steal Clan equipment. This effort was unsuccessful and Sennet escaped with his life and his 'Mech.[4]
Military Deployment
3067
- Regional Defense Force Four (Veteran/Reliable)[2]
- - At this time, RDF 4 was at full strength, with 15% of the RDF using advanced equipment.
3140
- - The unit was split between Riga and Köningsberg.
Planetary Locations
- Broken Lands: a volcanic region of Südland, riddled with hollow lava tubes underneath brittle volcanic rock[4]
- Feuerberg: a large volcano; also known as Fire Mountain[4]
- Kepten: a village of dubious provenance twenty kilometers from Feuerberg, not found on any Hanseatic maps and implied to be set up to cover for the theft of Mark Sennet's Ha Otoko[4]
