PLANETARY DETAILS:
Settled by explorers with Norwegian roots, Filtvet very much resembles some areas of that Scandinavian country.  Even the equatorial areas receive some snowfall during the year, but the northern climes can be quite pleasant during the summers.  Various hot springs allowed for settlements to be built even near the arctic circle.
Most famous for its AFFS military academy, Filtvet draws young men and women from the surrounding systems who want to make it in the military.  Graduates of the academy are immediately considered full-time AFFS members, while a not-small percentage of dropouts decide to stay on Filtvet, either to try to regain admission to the academy, or as permanent residents on a world that's quite advanced compared to others in the Outback.

Socio-Industrial Levels:
Technological Development
Advanced world with access to many new technologies; world hosts universities; good medical care available, though without benefit of bionics and other cutting-edge technologies; basic microelectronics industry.
Industrialization Level
Basic heavy industry at level of 22nd century; fusion engines possible but no complex products (including BattleMechs)
Raw Material Dependence
World/system produces all the raw materials needed and occasionally exports a small surplus.
Industrial Output
World has a small industrial base that may produce a limited number of products for export.
Agricultural Dependence
World has abundant environment producing enough to sustain the population using agriculture technologies; limited exports.

EMPLOYER SITUATION REPORT:
With the 152nd and 362nd Sentinals shaken, and obviously unwilling or unable to carry out a coordinated campaign, the Adders have dispatched the 1155th to restore the situation, and, MIIO believes, to secure a Star League cache hidden in the wilds.  The 1155th took part in the fighting on Memphis, and played a key role in the assault upon the Davion Heavy Guard's landing zone that forced that storied regiment to retreat.  Flush with success and front-line Inner Sphere salvage to replace what minor permanent losses they suffered, expect the 1155th to waste no time in driving for the area where the Adders suspect the cache to be.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Secure the cache and its contents at all costs, no matter who may have possession.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
1) Keep the Adders from taking any key points on planet.  While they have yet to move on the metropolitan areas yet, it is imperative that they be stopped if they choose to do so.  The AFFS High Command expects to dispatch reinforcements to Filtvet in the near future.  With the northern flank of the Broken Wheel line caving, the southern side must hold.
