System: Tukayyid

First settled in the twenty-seventh century, Tukayyid is a relatively mild and somewhat arid planet. It is primarily an agricultural world, never deemed important enough to merit being garrisoned by a BattleMech regiment, with most of the landmasses comprised of grassy plains controlled by agrocombines. During the era of Kurita rule, several minority religions came to this world and set up monastic communities in the mountains, and in one case under the Crucible Sea. As a result the population of the world is relatively small, the government decentralized, with each corporation running its holdings like a fiefdom, except where the theocracies have carved out their little domains.

Until 3052, this backwater world was known only for its high-quality grain and spectacular scenery. Then the Clans and ComStar agreed to fight a proxy battle on Tukayyid to determine control of Terra, vaulting the sleepy planet into the pages of history.

In April of that year, fleets of merchantmen chartered by ComStar came to evacuate the world's population. In May, the largest battle in recorded history took place as over 10,000 Com Guards and Clan 'Mechs met on various fields of battle. After 21 days of fighting, an exhausted ComStar force stood victorious, having won a fifteen-year truce with the Clans.

Native farmers returned to find their lands devastated, littered with the debris of war. Over the past decade, however, the Free Rasalhague Republic and ComStar have made impressive strides in restoring the world.

There are no functional factories located on this planet.
