Planetary History

Colonization & raise of the Sandoval family

The planet was first settled by colonists from the First Terran Exodus, who were attracted by its rich black soil and pleasant living conditions. The majority of the land's settlers were farmers, who soon discovered the world was rich in mineral and oil deposits. However, off planet corporations seeking to exploit the mineral wealth soon arrived and came into conflict with the farmers, who had already claimed the majority of the planet's available land. This resulted in a political crisis and the collapse of the planetary government. The Robinson planetary militia commander, David Sandoval, stepped forward and took control of the failed government. Declaring himself "Lord Protector", he seized the foreign companies' assets and lands to stabilize the situation. He forged a land-reform bill which shifted control of all land transactions to his new government. This resulted the Sandoval family becoming incredibly rich. Though new policies eventually came into place to weaken this arrangement, the Sandoval family had already become planet's ruling nobility.[10]

Founding of the Federated Suns & Davion Civil War

With the founding of the Federated Suns, Robinson became one of the five seats of power in House Davion. The head of the Sandoval family gained the title of Prince, and control of what was then known as the Terran March. This began what became known as the Five Prince Era, a period of divided rule which lead to the Davion Civil War. Following the war, the Federated Suns was reorganized and Robinson was made capital of the newly formed Draconis March despite the Sandovals backing of Rostov.[11]

Star League & Succession Wars

The planet lost portions of its rich soil to heavy mining during this period, limiting its ability to feed itself. However, its exports of raw materials allowed construction of Dropships & JumpShips, making the world wealthy and able to afford food imports. Following the fall of the Star League, House Kurita forces invaded and occupied the world for a number of decades. As a result, Robinson suffered a prolonged period of starvation and the destruction of much of its heavy industries. Only in the 31st Century has the planet's economic wealth been restored.

Jihad

In January 3071 the Word of Blake attacked Robinson;[12][13] and it would be more than a year before Robinson was liberated at the hands of a joint Com Guard-AFFS force. Robinson was finally free on the 2nd of February 3072.[14][15]

During the Jihad in 3079, Robinson housed a Combat Training Center in Recital City on the continent of Sjardijin, where training was conducted for Infantry, Battle Armor, Conventional Armor and Conventional Fighter crews. [16]

Important Battles

Davion Civil War

The planet was the seat of the Rostov line. The family had hugh influence about the troops during the civil war. [17]. Alexander Davion needed the troops and the support badly for the coquest to gain the Federated Suns for himself. The cooperation between Alexander and Dimitri Rostov was difficult. The civil war was decided in the naval battle over Megian. Cassandra Varnay retreat back to the Capellan Confederation with all her hired troops. During the reconstruction phase after the civil war the Prince tried to rebuild the struture of the Suns but the Rostovs were angry and blamed him to be an desposed. Dimitri Rostov gathered troops on the planet but the Prince used overwhelming forces to bring the planet under his control [18]

Succession Wars

During the Marathon Offensive of Myogi Kurita in the 2850s the Suns lost only on world to the Draconis Combine, Robinson, but it was an symbol to the people of the Federated Suns. The Coordinator lead 4 of his best 'Mech units (Sword of Light) against 3 defending Davion mech regiments on the planet. The invasion was early decided because the DCMS hat attacked Kentares IV simultnely with Robinson and the Federation High Command have no reserve unit as reinforcement. The AFFS retreat of world and had sworn to came back. [19]
