Caph III, more commonly known simply as Caph, is the third of seven planets in the Caph system and has a single moon named Caph's Stone.<ref name="FCCWp189"/>
 
  
===Planetary History===
+
Steam and Caph Prime became famous for the reptiles that resembled Terran Dinosaurs, which became known as ''Dinosaurs of Caph''. They were thought to be extinct until [[3025]], where small number of these creatures were discover in jungle region of Steam.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - Note Dinosaurs-like creatures exist on planet and are rediscovered to benefit of the planet' economy.</ref>  
====Early History====
 
Caph was among the first worlds to be settled from [[Terra]] by the [[Terran Alliance]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 189: FedCom Civil War Atlas of worlds/Caph - History of world includes it to be first to be settled</ref> The planet had large swath of tropical rainforests, fertile lands and considerable amount of mineral wealth. However, early settlers were terrorized by the large reptiles, sometimes known as dinosaurs, which frequently destroyed entire settlements.<ref name=DARWp235/>
 
  
====The Terran Hegemony & Star League eras====
+
Only small northern portion of Brunnel had survived the destruction of the continent.
Caph was one of the worlds that remained a part of the [[Terran Alliance]] following the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] and the [[Demarcation Declaration]] of [[2242]].<ref name="HB:HMp16"/> After the fall of the [[Terran Alliance]], the leader of the newly formed [[Terran Hegemony]], [[Director-General of the Terran Hegemony|Director-General]] [[James McKenna]], deployed Hegemony armed forces to recapture Caph, which had initially refused to join his new nation.<ref name="SLSBp15">''The Star League'', p. 15: "Terra's Errant Flock"</ref> Caph became one of the worlds within the [[Alliance Core]] region of the [[Terran Hegemony]].<ref name="H:RWp159"/>
 
  
As a means of combating the dinosaurs menace, electronic barriers were constructed around urban centers to guard against their attack, with later reinforcements coming in the form of [[BattleMechs]].<ref name=DARWp235/><ref name=SLp171/>
+
===Notable Landmarks===
 +
*'''New Brunnel''' - Original capital city of Caph, the it was had been located in Brunnel. The city and along with much of the planet's Star League era population centers & industries were lost in nuclear attack by Amaris forces.<ref>''[[FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - New Brussels named as original capital of planet and its fate.</ref>
  
As the Star League era progressed, Caph became famed for its renowned research complexes. One such school, the Caph Institute of Technology, was responsible for much of the original work that went into creating the first BattleMech. The planet was also home to several major drug and chemical companies, such as Pfizzler Chemical and DB Bowin Pharmaceuticals.<ref name=SLp171/>
+
*'''Cretacceous Zone''' - Created in [[3064]], this area of jungle located in Steam, was found hold though to be extinct Dinosaurs like-reptiles, thought lost during [[Star League Civil War]]. This became source of revenue for planet in 3060s, prior to the [[Jihad]].<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - Dinosaurs still roam in the jungles of Steam.</ref> The zone creation also lead to the entire continent of Steam being turn into a preserve for these surviving native species.<ref>''DA Republic Worlds'' p. 232 - Caph - Republic era information from WizKids website from MechWarrior Dark Ages.</ref>
  
====Amaris Civil War====
+
*'''Aswan''' - Modern capital of Caph, located in surviving portion continent of Brunnel. The city experienced new boom of cash funds when its Cretacceous zone had opened.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - Listed New capital of planet, it flourish during the FedCom Civil War with its new dinosaur park opening in 3064.</ref>  
When [[Stefan Amaris]] launched [[Operation APOTHEOSIS]], his takeover of the [[Terran Hegemony]] in December [[2766]], special forces teams were activated on every one of the member worlds of the Terran Hegemony. Their mission was to seize control of every [[HPG]] station in the Hegemony an hour before APOTHEOSIS began. Caph was one of just three worlds where the attempt by the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] to capture the local HPG transmitter saw the transmitter destroyed, due to heavier than anticipated local resistance.<ref name="H:LoTV1p71">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 71: "Hegemony Blackout"</ref>
 
  
Caph was a prime target for the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] forces when Amaris launched his coup; one of the gems of the Terran Hegemony and just a single jump from [[Terra]], Caph was one of the most heavily populated worlds in the [[Inner Sphere]] and one of the longest settled. Caph had perhaps the strongest academic research system in the Hegemony—and by extension, in the Inner Sphere—as well as an extensive technology industry; the [[SLDF]] considered Caph to be an important world and had constructed four [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]] across Caph, as well as building numerous other smaller SLDF bases. While Caph itself strongly resembled Jurassic-era Terra, the ever-increasing industrial and urban development had pushed the jungles back, although many outlying cities and communities had special barriers in place around them to keep the more aggressive and unpleasant local fauna away.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>
+
*'''New Derry''' - Second Largest city on planet by 3130, is located eighty kilometers east of Aswan and is home of the planet's largest and most active spaceport.<ref>''DA Republic Worlds'' p. 232 - Second largest city listed, with space port.</ref>
  
The Rim Worlds military had already begun to take control of Caph prior to the launch of APOTHEOSIS, with a mercenary unit named [[Salazar's Irregulars]] sneaking onto the planet to lay the groundwork for APOTHEOSIS in secret and the [[118th Amaris Dragoons]] taking control of the Castles Brian in November 2766 under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Orestes Tomasevi]]. The Republicans viewed Caph as being an easy conquest, masking the buildup to APOTHEOSIS with a series of training exercises beginning on the 26th of December.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>
+
====Other Noted Cities & Towns====
 +
Located on barren lands of Brunnel, exist small towns and cities that managed survive the annihilation inflicted on them during the last few centuries since League had fell. These trade posts include;  Cimmeron, New Zevon and Rehope. They are separated by ruins of League era cities and ruin of conflict.<ref>''DA Republic Worlds'' p. 232 - Caph - Planet info includes minor cities that popped up after fall of the League and exist in 3130.</ref>
  
What the Rim Worlds forces were unaware of was the deployment of five [[battalion]]s of SLDF personnel to Caph in early December for training exercises prior to a planned deployment into the [[Periphery]]. Three of the battalions were recently graduated SLDF infantry, but two of the battalions were newly formed but extensively trained Special Forces Battalions, the [[3378th Special Forces Battalion|3378th]] and [[3381st Special Forces Battalion|3381st]]. The various battalions had deployed in company and battalion-sized groupings around Caph for training, with formations swapping locations every couple of weeks; the Special Forces personnel had remained largely outside any of Caph's major cities, but [[Major]] [[Derjan Sefik]], commanding officer of the 3378th, had brought the entire 3378th into New Brunnel for a brief furlough as the Rim Worlds troops began mobilizing.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>
+
 
 +
*'''Caph Institute of Technology''' - Ancient [[Star League era]] institute noted for helping to develop the theory of the [[BattleMech]]. Located near its original Caph planetary capital on Brunnel, it was destroyed in nuclear attack by Amaris troops.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - Early Institute once existed near old Caph capital and help developed theory of the BattleMech.</ref>  
  
Major Sefik viewed what was supposed to be a training exercise on the part of the 118th Amaris Dragoons as an opportunity for his battalion to gain some additional field experience, and quickly tasked his people to shadow the Republican forces, creating simulated ambushes and strikes against them; as the Special Forces teams reported back that the Rim Worlders were taking up increasingly critical posts within New Brunnel, Major Sefik grew concerned that something was amiss. Sefik adjusted the deployment of the 3378th to quickly counter any threatening moves that the Republican forces might make, and it was this deployment that saw members from the 3378th witness and thwart the attempted takeover of Caph's HPG facilities by the Republicans. The 3378th went beyond disrupting the attempt to secure the HPG, not only countering the attack but also blocking attempts by the Republicans to move reinforcements into New Brunnel. This led to a day-long battle in the streets and buildings of New Brunnel as the elite Special Forces commandos inflicted heavy damage on the Republican forces, particularly the Rim Worlds-affiliated mercenary forces hired to provide security and clean up after the planned seizure of the HPG.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>
+
===Manufacturing Complexes===
  
The 3378th received very little support from the native population, and the support they did receive dwindled after Duchess [[Micha Confalonieri]], the planetary ruler, announced that the Republicans were "liberators" and instructed the population to lay down their arms and end any resistance to the occupation. Where the 3378th did receive critical support was from the New Brunnel police force, although this wasn't enough to prevent the Rim Worlds forces assuming at least nominal control over New Brunnel by the 28th of December.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>
+
Pfizzeler Chemicals, DB Bowins Pharmaceuticals and WOD Interstellar were ancient companies which operated on Caph prior to Star League's Civil War.<ref>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 189 - Star League Era companies listed. Does not note if the exist as of the FedCom Civil War as resurgence of Pharmaceutical companies emerge.</ref>
 +
In 2774, [[Stormvanger Assemblies, Unlimited]], the original producer of the ''[[Cyclops]]'' battlemech was destroyed by Amaris forces.<ref>''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade]]'' p. 100 - Cyclops Fluff includes Caph as original production site for the Cyclops BattleMech.</ref>
  
Initially, the campaign to capture New Brunnel was the most difficult aspect of the occupation of Caph for the Republican forces, with relatively little resistance being encountered elsewhere on the planet. That soon changed, however; after several days, the SLDF units which had been deployed out in the field began to hit Republican targets, destroying bases and ambushing small Republican units. This prompted a cycle of attack and counterattack that quickly escalated in scale; believing that the SLDF troops were receiving support from the native population, Colonel Tomasevi ordered the destruction or deactivation of many of the barrier systems that made up the Large Fauna Containment Systems in place across Caph, the barriers that kept the bigger, more dangerous local fauna away from inhabited areas. Tomasevi believed that this would not only deny the SLDF a number of previously safe regions to hide in, but that it would also punish the local population for sheltering the SLDF resistance; Tomasevi subsequently declared that Caph had been pacified in late January, but the reality was that the battle for Caph would continue for years.<ref name="H:LoTV1p80+"/>

==Planetary History==
 +
===Early History===
 +
Caph was among the first worlds to be settled from [[Terra]] by the [[Terran Alliance]].<ref>''[[FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)]]'' p. 189 - FedCom Civil War Atlas of worlds/Caph - History of world includes it to be first to be settled.</ref> The planet had large swath of tropical rainforests, fertile lands and considerable amount of mineral wealth.
  
The planet was subsequently attacked by [[Rim Worlds Republic Military]] during the [[Amaris Civil War]], an attack which gutted the Caph Institute of Technology. Republican forces also used chemical and biological weapons in their attack, which were believed to have wiped out the native "dinosaur" species.<ref name=SLp171/>
+
===The Terra Hegemony & Star League eras===
 +
During the Star League era, was renowned to having a advance research complexes.  One such schools, Caph Institute of Technology was among the first renowned develop the Theory for BattleMech in [[2309]].
  
====The Succession Wars====
+
====The Star League Civil War====
After the collapse of the Terran Hegemony and the Star League, Caph had become a hotly contested world.  In [[2787]], in the Fifth Battle of Caph, three different [[Great Houses]] fought at the same time for control of the planet. Eventually, it became part of the [[Federated Suns]] at a terrible cost. The world, once was known for its research in BattleMech technology, was smoldering ruins.  The world soon again changed hands to the [[Capellan Confederation]] midway through the Succession Wars.<ref name=HD(TFS)p202/><ref>''Handbook: House Davion'', pp. 48, 54, 60: "FedSuns maps from Age of War to Second Succession War do not show Caph being in FedSuns"</ref>
+
During Star League Civil War, the planet was attacked by [[Rim Worlds Republic|Rim Worlds Republic's]] [[141st Amaris Dragoons]], which ends nuclear weapons resulting devastating the planet's surface and the "extinction" of the Caph's Dinosaur species.
  
In [[2930]], during the [[Third Succession War]], Caph was the target world of [[Marshall]] [[Peter Davion (30th c.)|Peter Davion's]] offensive into the Confederation, codenamed [[Operation Roland's Horn]]. In last phase of the Operation, Caph fell again to House Davion forces.<ref>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 70: "Map of Federated Suns After 3025, this shows border prior to 2866 and 3025 with Caph formerly part confederation"</ref><ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 85: "The Armistice Ends" - Caph target of then Marshall Peter Davion's offensive to take worlds from Confederation</ref> The world became part of the [[Draconis March]].  The planet was devastated from onslaught of the early Succession Wars. Nearly all buildings on the planet had been destroyed, with two of its three continents irradiated by atomic bombs.
+
===The Succession Wars===
 +
After the collapse of the Terran Hegemony & Star League, Caph had become very contested world.  In [[2789]], in the Fifth Battle of Caph, three different Succession States fought at same time for control of the planet. Eventually, it became part of the [[Federated Suns]] at a terrible cost. The world, that once was known research in BattleMech technology was smoldering ruins.  The world soon again changed hands to [[Capellan Confederation]] in midway through the Succession Wars.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'' p. 204 - Caph - Planet brief Succession War history shows it was briefly owned by FedSuns in 2787.</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Davion'' p. 48, 54,60 - FedSuns maps from Age of War to Second Succession War does not show Caph being in FedSuns.</ref>
  
During the reign of [[First Prince]] Hanse Davion, the Federated Suns moved its Ministry of Foreign Relations to Caph due to flow of information regarding [[Lyran Commonwealth]] which normally comes through this world. This was done when first alliance between House Steiner and House Davion was first signed.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 108: "Ministry of Foreign Relations and its policies"</ref> Also, by [[3025]], the planet was slowly rebuilding its population and factories.  The world was on the road to recovery during the 3030s and 3040s, becoming part of the [[Sarna March]].
+
In [[2930]], during the [[Third Succession War]], the Caph was target world of [[Marshall]] [[Peter Davion|Peter Davion's]] offensive into the Confederation which was code-named [[Operation: Roland's Horn]]. In last phase of the Operation, Caph fell again to House Davion forces.<ref>''Handbook: House Davion'' p. 70 - Map of Federated Suns After 3025, this shows border prior to 2866 and 3025 with Caph formerly part confederation.</ref><ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'' p. 85 - The Armistice Ends - Caph target of then Marshall Peter Davion's offensive to take worlds from Confederation.</ref> The world became part of the [[Draconis March]].  The planet was devastated from onslaught of the early Succession Wars. Nearly all buildings on the planet had been destroyed, with two of its three continents radiated by atomics bombs.
  
====War of 3039====

During the reign of [[First Prince]] Hanse Davion, The Federated Suns has moved its Ministry of Foreign Relations to Caph due to flow of information regarding [[Lyran Commonwealth]] normally flows through to this world. This was done when first alliance between House Steiner & House Davion has first was signed.<ref>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'' p. 108 - Ministry of Foreign Relations and its policies.</ref> Also, by [[3025]], the planet was slowly rebuilding its population and factories.  The world was on the road to recovery during in 3030s and 3040s, becoming part of the [[Sarna March]].
During the [[War of 3039]] a counter attack by the [[Draconis Combine]] was surprised to find prepositioned Federated Commonwealth forces secreted away on Caph.  The resulting [[Battle of Caph (3039)|battle]] was a victory for the Commonwealth.

In October 3068, a [[Clan]] warrior named Drago stalked and killed almost all of two [[Level II]]s of Blakist forces near the mining settlement of Dallas, fifty kilometers from Aswan. Fighting over the course of several days, Drago and his matte-black ''[[Nova Cat (OmniMech)|Nova Cat]]'' [[OmniMech]] tracked and killed one Level II before engaging the second when it came to investigate a day later. Under the overall command of [[Demi-Precentor]] [[Alice Haywood]], the surviving Level II withdrew after losing a 'Mech to Drago, studying salvaged information to try and learn Drago's identity before attempting to ambush him a day later. While the ambush didn't work as planned, Haywood was able to fight and kill Drago - but not before most, or possibly all, of the other personnel in her Level II were destroyed.<ref name="TDoC">''The Dragon of Caph''</ref>

In April [[3075]], a strange signal was detected and the WoB militia sent an ''[[Interdictor]]''-class [[DropShip]] to intercept an unknown object that turned out to be the [[Champlain#Champlain-III|Champlain III]] probe, sent from terra in [[2066]]. The probe was emitting standard radar emissions, but a communication was also sent in an ancient computer code. It promised "no harm on the part of humanity" and was transmitting information back to Sol. Terran officials will be on the lookout for the results in [[3088]].

When news reached [[Chancellor]] [[Daoshen Liao]] that Clan forces had found a way through the [[Fortress Wall]] to [[Battle of Terra (3151)|assault]] [[Terra]] while the [[Capellan Confederation]] still struggled to solve that obstacle, he was determined to capture any fleeing [[Republic of the Sphere]] forces in hopes their interrogation would solve the puzzle of the Wall. He reasoned that Republic troops would retreat to [[Sirius]] and [[Caph]], both ancestral Capellan worlds. The [[Battle of Sirius (3151)|assault]] on Sirius began in February, while the Caph operation began the next month.  Due to the [[Skobel MechWorks]] and [[Martinson Armaments]] factories, the Confederation anticipated a fierce battle and the [[Fifth Sian Dragoons]] were given the honors because of their specialization in siege warfare. After the Dragoons landed unopposed on 3 March, it was soon discovered that the Republic garrison troops of the [[XIV Triarii Protectors]] had relocated to [[Terra]] some months prior in preparation for the Battle of Terra, but not before rendering the industriplexes inoperable through careful sabotage. Estimates to return the factories to operation were measured in years<ref name=ICp117>''ilClan'', pp. 117-118: "One Step Closer to Glory"</ref>

The Confederation's conquest of Caph was short lived, at some unknown point, [[ilKhan]] [[Alaric Ward]] ordered the [[5th Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|Fifth Battle Cluster]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] to occupy the planet.  It is unknown if the Dragoons were still present but given the strategic importance of the world to the Confederation that is likely. On 22 December  the [[First Kearny Highlanders]] in the employ of the [[Duke of Tybalt]] landed to probe what they beleived to be Confederation defenses. Despite taking nearly forty percent losses, the Highlanders were able to escape with this valuable intelligence.<ref name=UD>''Unit Digest: First Kearny Highlanders''</ref><ref name=CT>''Chaos Theory''</ref>
