PLANETARY DETAILS:
Chahar, when first discovered in 24th century, was a lifeless world, despite the planet's large ocean and agreeable climate. When the initial survey discovered major deposits of chemicals and metals, colonization of this barren world became more viable. By the beginning of the next century, there existed a significant population, most of whom were employed by Trans-India Mining Industries.
 
Chahar's inability to feed itself placed a major burden on neighboring planets until the Steiner government financed a major effort to introduce plant and animal life to the planet. The project was a complete success, with an amazing percentage of introduced species thriving in their new environment.

Today, Chahar can feed its own population and even exports some grain to other worlds. The planet has a vigorous economy that is actively courting major Commonwealth industries to open factories here. Its industries won a major economic battle with the neighboring world of Blue Hole, when Trellshire Heavy Industries built a weapons plant near Chahar's capital city, Benares.

Chahar has one of the largest Hindu populations of any Lyran world, and a whole city has been set aside for the sole purpose of worship.

The city of New Mannos on Chahar is the headquarters to Dobless Information Services. Having started business with information stored in a single Star League library computer system, Dobless has become the de facto storehouse of information for the Commonwealth. With centers on more than 150 worlds, each of its computers stores information comparable to over 100 billion books.

The vaults deep below the main offices on Chahar are rumored to contain information storage devices that pre-date man's ability to travel in space. The rumor is that Dobless library computer contains all known information in the universe, if one knows how to access it.

The Chahar MTM attempted to hold out for as long as possible when the Falcons attacked in early December, 3064, but against five Clusters, including Khan Marthe's own Turkina Keshik, they stood no chance. The four surviving combat commands retreated to Zhongshan sixteen days after the Falcons landed.

Unfortunately, the recent seizure of the Dobless Information Service's former headquarters on Chahar by Jade Falcon forces has cut off the company from its largest data node, and forced present CEO Seth Tobiason to relocate to Ludwigshafen.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
After years of campaigning, and a couple of failed attempt at doing it himself Seth Tobiason has finally convinced LAAF commanders to take back the world of Chahar, but as always there are more reasons than that alone.

Chahar is an important strategic world both locationally, industrially and due to its agriculture that can be used to supply military campaigns.

Finally, the Chahar MTM have been agitating for it to happen since Chahar fell. They want their planet back.

A beachead on planet will be created by LAAF and the SLDF's 15th Division under Major General Bobby Rydell. The mercenary unit's task will be to support those attacking forces once the initial invasion is complete.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Follow the Hauptmann General W.J. Hardy directions and help force Jade Falcon off Chahar.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Minimize civilian and industrial damage, especially the Dobless facility should you be involved in an assault on New Mannos.
