System: Alexandria

Once an idyllic world of pastoral beauty and rich natural resources, Alexandria was a thriving agricultural and commercial center before the Succession Wars. In fact, during the Good Years under the Star League, this planet was a haven for culture, with many cities hosting impressive museums and theaters that drew refined people from all over the Inner Sphere and exuded grace and elegance that all could appreciate.

Unfortunately, the fall of the Star League and the wars that followed turned Alexandria into one of the most war-ravaged planets in the Isle of Skye, as its few military industries and command centers became the target for raids by the nearby Draconis Combine and armies of BattleMechs churned up the local soil into seas of mud.

Today, a few scattered cities such as Lam Pole and Cherbourg — both on the large northern continent of Cairusia — hint at the diminished glory that once embraced this world, but many more resemble the planetary capital of Alexandretta on the southern continent of Jeddasia, a practical collection of utilitarian structures seeded with bunkers and other defenses in case of emergency.
