| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Early History==== | ||
| + | The low level of resources on Shiloh — including water — made the planet an unappealing choice for colonization efforts during the [[First Exodus]] from [[Terra]], but the planet attracted the attention of a religious group known as the [[Exituri]]. The Exituri were a secretive religious sect whose beliefs blended together a mix of elements from various different faiths including Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and even Paganism. Ideological reasons drove the Exituri to choose to leave Terra early in the Exodus, and the order colonized Shiloh, creating a theocratic society known as the Bhagavad-Gita based on their religious precepts. Although Shiloh became a member of the [[Federation of Skye]] region of the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[Age of War]], the planet remained largely isolated, taking little active role in interplanetary politics. Limited to the most primitive methods for both industry and farming by their religious tenets, the small population supported itself as best it could, and the little trade the locals engaged in consisted largely of exporting local handicrafts in exchange for water.<ref name="DARWp197"/> | ||
| − | == | + | ====Star League Era==== |
| − | + | The local population was notable for its strong religious beliefs and antitechnology stance during the [[Star League era]], and even at the height of the Star League the local [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] garrison found it a constant struggle to avoid fighting with — or mingling with — the local population.<ref name=FR:2765LCAFpp18-19/> During the Star League era mining operations had been conducted on Shiloh, extracting rare stone crystals known as Shuksam and Mirst from the Fald Plains region of Shiloh.<ref name="CSIp26">''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', pp. 26–27: "Operation Road Runner"</ref> | |

| − | == | + | ====First Succession War==== |
| − | + | Shiloh was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth captured by the Free Worlds League between [[2786]] and [[2790]], as the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the [[Bolan Thumb]] while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="FSWp62">''First Succession War'', p. 62: "The War of Raids: House Steiner's Succession War"</ref> | |
| − | |||
| − | === | + | ====Second Succession War==== |
| − | + | Shiloh was conquered by the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] August 2838 while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction imposed by [[ComStar]]. The loss of Shiloh was one of the defeats that led to [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Charles Marik (29th c.)|Charles Marik]] being forced to capitulate to ComStar's terms for ending the interdiction.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p33"/> | |
| − | === | + | ====Third Succession War==== |
| − | Shiloh | + | The Free Worlds League finally gained control of Shiloh in 2917, after the planet had been the target of numerous raids and invasions conducted by the Commonwealth and the League throughout the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. Despite numerous rebellions launched by the population against the hardline theocratic government, the leadership of the Exituri maintained almost complete control over the planet during the Succession Wars, preaching that their Divinity no longer recognized mankind because of mankind's increasing dependence on the tools of science and warfare, condemning the evils of advanced technology. This condemnation extended to all the [[Great House]]s, whom the Exituri held responsible for all of the tragedies experienced by the human race, not just the more recent Succession Wars.<ref name="DARWp197"/> |
| − | + | In [[2955]] the Commonwealth launched a [[Battle of Shiloh (2955)|raid]] for a supply cache located in the city of Randersville.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3025'', p. 126</ref> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Shiloh was raided by the [[Tenth Skye Rangers]] in the [[Battle of Uhuru (3010)]]; accompanying the Rangers was the mercenary unit [[Snord's Irregulars]], following a request from [[Cranston Snord]] to join the raid. Snord's interest in Shiloh was the rare stone crystals mined during the Star League era, and given his reputation as a troublemaker, the Rangers were happy to allow the Irregulars to spend their time scouting the Fald Plains. Snord did identify a shuksam deposit after a few weeks, but had to fight a running battle with League forces to successfully extract a quantity of the crystals.<ref name="CSIp26"/> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ====The Jihad==== | |
| + | The [[Word of Blake]] managed to secure full control over the government of Shiloh by nonviolent means, occupying the world and incorporating it into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate|Protectorate]] in July 3068.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Blakist agents had been subverting the ancient Exituri government for years prior to the Jihad, and within months of the Jihad beginning the Blakists washed away the Exituri rule. Replacing the absolute theocratic government of Shiloh with their own technotheocray, the Blakists were able to shape the Exituri youth into a new kind of fanatical grouping, dedicated to the causes of chaos and death. The Blakists were soon using Shiloh as a training ground for [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] and commandos, and the planet became a favored location for Blakist "reeducation camps".<ref name="DARWp197"/> | ||
| − | + | It was in the Shiloh system on the 22nd of August [[3070]] that two [[Word of Blake]] [[WarShip]]s — the ''Aegis''-class heavy cruiser [[Impetuous|WoBS ''Impetuous'']] and the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser [[Xanthos (Individual Black Lion-class WarShip)|WoBS ''Xanthos'']]<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128: "Captured Ships"</ref> — were destroyed in an ambush staged by rebel WarShips<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> — specifically the ''[[Eagle (WarShip class)|Eagle]]''-class frigates [[Galahad (Individual Eagle-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Galahad'']] and [[Lancelot (Individual Eagle-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Lancelot'']] and the ''[[Agamemnon]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Menelaus|FWLS ''Menelaus'']].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', pp. 108–109 and ''Blake Ascending'', pp. 268–269: "Fleet Advisory: Shiloh"</ref> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | Allied coalition forces including elements from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Wolf]] liberated Shiloh as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]] on the 10th of June [[3077]].<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Shiloh was liberated by forces from the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR; Shiloh was considered significant enough that the front commander, [[Duke]] [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]], assigned two complete Groups to the attack on the world. In addition to the Protectorate Militia forces, the Blakists had also moved the [[Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaires]] and a contingent from one of the [[Shadow Divisions]] onto Shiloh; as a result, when the Lyran front forces landed, the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[First Army (ComStar)|First Army]] suffered heavy losses at the hands of the ''Manei Domini''. The ''Manei Domini'' used civilians as unwitting suicide bombers, and as the Com Guard forces reeled, used the advantage to drive the attacking forces back off Shiloh.<ref name="JHS:Tp29">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 29: "Shiloh Falls"</ref> | |
| − | + | Following the retreat from Shiloh, forces from Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon worked together, initially using one of Shiloh's moons as a rallying point; the two Clans set aside their traditional rivalry and antagonism to execute a combined drop onto the main Word of Blake base of operations on Shiloh. They then held the drop zone in the face of Blakist counterattacks and two tactical nuclear strikes, allowing the remaining Lyran forces to land. The successful liberation of Shiloh was announced in a news broadcast by [[Myra Kellison]] of [[Tharkad Media Associates]] on the 18th of July 3077, who hailed the remarkable situation of rival Clans working together to protect Lyran forces against a common enemy as a tantalizing sign of hope that a peaceful coexistence between opposing factions may be possible.<ref name="JHS:Tp29"/> | |
| − | + | ====Dark Age==== | |
| + | The incorporation of Shiloh into the Republic of the Sphere effectively marked a rebirth for the planet, driven by the Republic government establishing economic initiatives to bolster the planetary economy, and the arrival of new residents. The local government was rebuilt in the image of the Republic, although various Exituri sects were still present on Shiloh, even if they were no longer able to exercise control over the government.<ref name="DARWp197"/> | ||

| − | === | + | ===Geography=== |
| − | + | Shiloh is a windy, arid and nearly barren world. With relatively little surface water present on the planet, what surface water does exist takes the form of numerous scattered lakes, seas and interconnecting rivers. The climate the planet, combined with the lack of resources, made it a relatively unappealing world for colonization.<ref name="DARWp197"/> | |

Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
The low level of resources on Shiloh — including water — made the planet an unappealing choice for colonization efforts during the First Exodus from Terra, but the planet attracted the attention of a religious group known as the Exituri. The Exituri were a secretive religious sect whose beliefs blended together a mix of elements from various different faiths including Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and even Paganism. Ideological reasons drove the Exituri to choose to leave Terra early in the Exodus, and the order colonized Shiloh, creating a theocratic society known as the Bhagavad-Gita based on their religious precepts. Although Shiloh became a member of the Federation of Skye region of the Lyran Commonwealth during the Age of War, the planet remained largely isolated, taking little active role in interplanetary politics. Limited to the most primitive methods for both industry and farming by their religious tenets, the small population supported itself as best it could, and the little trade the locals engaged in consisted largely of exporting local handicrafts in exchange for water.[1]
Star League Era[edit]
The local population was notable for its strong religious beliefs and antitechnology stance during the Star League era, and even at the height of the Star League the local Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces garrison found it a constant struggle to avoid fighting with — or mingling with — the local population.[43] During the Star League era mining operations had been conducted on Shiloh, extracting rare stone crystals known as Shuksam and Mirst from the Fald Plains region of Shiloh.[44]
First Succession War[edit]
Shiloh was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth captured by the Free Worlds League between 2786 and 2790, as the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the Bolan Thumb while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery and the Free Worlds League Military.[12]
Second Succession War[edit]
Shiloh was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces August 2838 while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction imposed by ComStar. The loss of Shiloh was one of the defeats that led to Captain-General Charles Marik being forced to capitulate to ComStar's terms for ending the interdiction.[16]
Third Succession War[edit]
The Free Worlds League finally gained control of Shiloh in 2917, after the planet had been the target of numerous raids and invasions conducted by the Commonwealth and the League throughout the Succession Wars. Despite numerous rebellions launched by the population against the hardline theocratic government, the leadership of the Exituri maintained almost complete control over the planet during the Succession Wars, preaching that their Divinity no longer recognized mankind because of mankind's increasing dependence on the tools of science and warfare, condemning the evils of advanced technology. This condemnation extended to all the Great Houses, whom the Exituri held responsible for all of the tragedies experienced by the human race, not just the more recent Succession Wars.[1]
In 2955 the Commonwealth launched a raid for a supply cache located in the city of Randersville.[45]
Shiloh was raided by the Tenth Skye Rangers in the Battle of Uhuru (3010); accompanying the Rangers was the mercenary unit Snord's Irregulars, following a request from Cranston Snord to join the raid. Snord's interest in Shiloh was the rare stone crystals mined during the Star League era, and given his reputation as a troublemaker, the Rangers were happy to allow the Irregulars to spend their time scouting the Fald Plains. Snord did identify a shuksam deposit after a few weeks, but had to fight a running battle with League forces to successfully extract a quantity of the crystals.[44]
The Jihad[edit]
The Word of Blake managed to secure full control over the government of Shiloh by nonviolent means, occupying the world and incorporating it into the Protectorate in July 3068.[31] Blakist agents had been subverting the ancient Exituri government for years prior to the Jihad, and within months of the Jihad beginning the Blakists washed away the Exituri rule. Replacing the absolute theocratic government of Shiloh with their own technotheocray, the Blakists were able to shape the Exituri youth into a new kind of fanatical grouping, dedicated to the causes of chaos and death. The Blakists were soon using Shiloh as a training ground for MechWarriors and commandos, and the planet became a favored location for Blakist "reeducation camps".[1]
It was in the Shiloh system on the 22nd of August 3070 that two Word of Blake WarShips — the Aegis-class heavy cruiser WoBS Impetuous and the Black Lion-class battlecruiser WoBS Xanthos[46] — were destroyed in an ambush staged by rebel WarShips[47] — specifically the Eagle-class frigates FWLS Galahad and FWLS Lancelot and the Agamemnon-class heavy cruiser FWLS Menelaus.[48]
Allied coalition forces including elements from Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Wolf liberated Shiloh as a part of Operation SCOUR on the 10th of June 3077.[34] Shiloh was liberated by forces from the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR; Shiloh was considered significant enough that the front commander, Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner, assigned two complete Groups to the attack on the world. In addition to the Protectorate Militia forces, the Blakists had also moved the Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaires and a contingent from one of the Shadow Divisions onto Shiloh; as a result, when the Lyran front forces landed, the Com Guard First Army suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Manei Domini. The Manei Domini used civilians as unwitting suicide bombers, and as the Com Guard forces reeled, used the advantage to drive the attacking forces back off Shiloh.[33]
Following the retreat from Shiloh, forces from Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon worked together, initially using one of Shiloh's moons as a rallying point; the two Clans set aside their traditional rivalry and antagonism to execute a combined drop onto the main Word of Blake base of operations on Shiloh. They then held the drop zone in the face of Blakist counterattacks and two tactical nuclear strikes, allowing the remaining Lyran forces to land. The successful liberation of Shiloh was announced in a news broadcast by Myra Kellison of Tharkad Media Associates on the 18th of July 3077, who hailed the remarkable situation of rival Clans working together to protect Lyran forces against a common enemy as a tantalizing sign of hope that a peaceful coexistence between opposing factions may be possible.[33]
Dark Age[edit]
The incorporation of Shiloh into the Republic of the Sphere effectively marked a rebirth for the planet, driven by the Republic government establishing economic initiatives to bolster the planetary economy, and the arrival of new residents. The local government was rebuilt in the image of the Republic, although various Exituri sects were still present on Shiloh, even if they were no longer able to exercise control over the government.[1]

Geography[edit]
Shiloh is a windy, arid and nearly barren world. With relatively little surface water present on the planet, what surface water does exist takes the form of numerous scattered lakes, seas and interconnecting rivers. The climate the planet, combined with the lack of resources, made it a relatively unappealing world for colonization.[1]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Blessed Lake: a lake or small sea located in the northern hemisphere.[1]
- Chatham Plains:[54]
- Feld Plains:
- Randersville: the planetary capital city, located on the north shore of Blessed Lake.[1]
