PLANETARY DETAILS:
This planet was the original
provincial capital of Chesterton province of the old Tikonov Grand Union,
and was settled in 2412 by the last of the great Welsh space explorers, Ian
Chesterton of Chisholm. Until the start of the Succession Wars, Chesterton
was a rich water world; land comprised only 25 percent of its surface. These
small continents were discovered to be rich in organic chemical compounds
and concentrates used in the production of important pharmaceuticals.
Chesterton is also remembered for its native wool-bearing animals that
produce a remarkably fine-textured fiber. With the end of the Succession
Wars, however, little is left of this once thriving industry. Chesterton is
the major Davion military base in the Capellan March.
The 13th is made up primarily
of green recruits, with some aged veterans of the '57 War and the FedCom
Civil War sprinkled in, mostly holding officers slots. The units 'mechs are
generally in the light-to-medium range with 70% at 3060 tech. A small number
of heavy and assault 'mechs were doled out to lance and company commander.
The battalion's commanding Officer is Major Chad Song. The Major has a
dislike for all things Capellan, but is known as a fair man otherwise.
