System: Harloc

[3055] Christobel’s Regiment, part of McCarron’s Armored Cavalry, were stationed on Harloc in 3055 when the planet came under raiding attacks by the Arcadians, a mercenary unit employed by the St. Ives Compact.

For the better part of a week the Regiment pursued the Arcadians without success. Then the Arcadian commander, apparently unfamiliar with the planet’s terrain, led his force high into the Owen Stanley mountains, unaware that the area was accessible only be one pass.

In Response, the Regiment commander set an ambush by ordering his newly upgraded Vedettes to dig in along the sides of the pass. When the Arcadians attempted to exit the area, the Regiment ‘mechs forced them through the pass, where the Vedettes engaged them. Seven Vedettes and their crews were destroyed in the fighting, but not before they destroyed an equal number of enemy ‘mechs.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
