Description:
This sunny, tropical world is the home of McCarron's Armored Cavalry. Large civilian populations, many of whom are ex-Cavalry troopers, serve as a pool for McCarron's units. Menke also boasts extensive BattleMech repair facilities and one of the highest concentrations of trained Techs in the Confederation. A jungle warfare-training center is located in the planet's southern hemisphere.
The perpetrual holding of the McCarron family, Menke is part of the Duchy of Mitchel, and Duke Adam Fitzwater has the right to use one of McCarron's regiments in the event of enemy action or a critical emergency. At least one McCarron's regiment, and usually two or more, can be found on Menke at any given time, making it a very uninviting target for Davion raiders.
