The '''Claybrooke''' system was home to at least one habitable world, '''Claybrooke VI''', and as of [[3145]] was located in the [[Magistracy of Canopus]].<ref name="ER:3145p39"/><ref name="FM:3145pVI"/>

__TOC__

==System Description==
The Claybrooke system is located near the [[Itica]] and [[Mattisskogen]] systems<ref name="ER:2750p37"/> and consists of a class F2IV primary orbited by at least six planets. During the [[thirty-first century]] a recharge station was in place at the system nadir [[jump point]].<ref name=HM162/><ref name=HBM74/>

==System History==
The Claybrooke system was colonized by the [[Capellan Confederation]] during the [[Star League era]] at some point after the end of the [[Reunification War]].<ref name="H:RWp159"/><ref name="ER:2750p37"/>

Claybrooke VI - more commonly referred to simply as Claybrooke - is the sixth planet in the system and has two moons named Brana and Kurna.<ref name=HBM74/>

===Planetary History===
====First Succession War====
Claybrooke was one of some fifty-one heavily contested worlds to have been placed under [[Terran Hegemony]] authority as a jointly-administered world during the [[Age of War]] or [[Star League]] era. During the [[First Succession War]] Claybrooke once more became a flashpoint between the Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation.<ref name="H:LoTV2p118">''Historical: Liberation of Terra, Volume 2'', p. 118: "Jointly Administered Worlds"</ref> In [[2783]] Capellan "security forces" arrived on Claybrooke and the nearby world of [[Andurien]], effectively annexing both planets.<ref name="FSWp27">''First Succession War'', p. 27: "Capellan Confederation Gains"</ref>

====Third Succession War====
Claybrooke was one of a number of Free Worlds League worlds to be ruled by a military dictatorship in [[3022]] as a result of occupation by [[SAFE]]; other League worlds governed in the same fashion at that point included [[Cajamarca]], [[Maxwell]], [[Talitha]] and [[Zosma]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p73"/> Claybrooke had adopted the military organization structure used by the [[Duchy of Andurien]] by 3025.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p84">''House Marik'', p. 84: "Provincial Military Organization"</ref>

Towards the end of the [[Third Succession War]] the military governor of Claybrooke came under pressure from [[Dame]] [[Catherine Humphreys]] of the [[Duchy of Andurien]] to join Claybrooke to the Duchy. Dame Humphries was interested in securing the natural gas and fossil fuel resources on Claybrooke as well as the ranch and dairy products produced on the world, and offered such economic incentives as favorable trade tariffs to try and influence Lieutenant Colonel [[Carla Chestine]], the planetary ruler.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p162">''House Marik'', p. 162: "Claybrooke"</ref>

Beset with problems relating to the mineral development of Claybrooke's two moons, a subject of furious political arguments between entrenched parties on the planet, Colonel Chestine was unwilling to entertain Dame Humphreys proposals; in fact, the pressure from Humphreys was used by Chestine as a rallying point on Claybrooke, as opposition to the threat of a takeover by the Duchy was one of the few points on which all of the factions on Claybrooke were united.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p162"/>

====Andurien Secession====
The Duchy of Andurien seceded from the Free Worlds League in [[3030]], allying itself with the Magistracy of Canopus before launching an invasion of the Capellan Confederation, which was still trying to recover from the losses suffered during the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The Anduriens viewed Claybrooke as a vital bridge to their Canopian allies, and as a result Claybrooke was occupied by Andurien troops.<ref name="HB:HMp74">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 74: "Claybrooke"</ref>

Dame Humphreys appointed a new military dictator, [[Charles Applebaum]], in place of the ousted Colonel Chestine, but Applebaum found himself ostracized by the population of Claybrooke. Quickly forced to live almost entirely within the fortified mansion he owned in Sheridan, Applebaum's tenure as dictator lasted just eleven months. Anti-Andurien forces on Claybrooke led by Chestine and styling themselves the "Army of the Resistance" captured Applebaum and ended his reign by shooting and then hanging him.<ref name="HB:HMp74"/>

Killing Applebaum wasn't the Army of the Resistance's only success; the Army waged a guerrilla campaign across the lowlands of the Hastings continent and in the Muranga Hills on Hawthorne that kept several regiments of Andurien troops tied to Claybrooke for the better part of three years, and the Army of the Resistence's almost single-handed victory over the occupying forces earned them a number of plaudits after [[Free Worlds League Military]] forces liberated the planet during their campaign to bring the Duchy to heel.<ref name="HB:HMp74"/>

Chestine supported [[Duncan Marik]] as [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] and led a detachment of troops to support his forces on [[Xanthe III]], only to perish alongside her troops during an ill-planned assault on the Andurien forces there.<ref name="HB:HMp74"/>

The various successors to Chestine lacked the drive and determination that had marked her out, but proved able enough at cashing in on the martial successes of the Army of the Resistance. A number of books were written and films made depicting the resistance against Andurien occupation that helped generate publicity for Claybrooke, publicity that made products originating on the planet popular across the League. During the 3040s cheese and beef from Claybrooke became commonplace in food outlets across League space, and a clothing line known as "Claybrooke Frontierwear" became popular in the late part of the decade.<ref name="HB:HMp74"/>

====FedCom Civil War Era====
During the 3060s the ruler of Claybrooke, Colonel Ravan Rudant, found herself having to deal with a range of polarizing issues including long-running disputes over the rich deposits located on both of Claybrooke's moons - both mineral and petrochemical deposits - as well as political wrangling over farm subsidies for the Ermine Archipelago and Hastings. The wrangling proved acrimonious enough that Durant was reputed to have remarked that a new invasion of Claybrooke would be the more preferable crisis to deal with, because she would then at least be able to shoot her enemies.<ref name="HB:HMp74"/>
