Cogdell IV - more commonly referred to simply as Cogdell - is the fourth planet in the system.<ref name="hd204"/>

===Planetary History===
Cogdell was one of the few worlds in the Inner Sphere whose governmental structure is based on anarchic ideas. Originally "settled" by a group of convicts who were exported to the world by a Periphery world, the colonists were able to survive and form a rudimentary government whose only law was "live and let live".<ref name="hd204"/>

Absorbed by the Federated Suns shortly before the start of the [[Third Succession War]], one of the prominent families on Cogdell was selected by the [[Ministry of Ways and Means]] as the ruling family. This family eventually grew pro-Davion, pro–Federated Suns, and pro-government. The resulting tensions between the noble family's supporter and the general population exploded into violence in [[3025]].<ref name="hd204"/>

In February, [[3072]] Cogdell was one of the planets that joined the breakaway Filtvelt Coalition.<ref name="JS:TBDp64"/> By [[3135]] Cogdell later returned to the Federated Suns control.<ref name=ER:3145p11/>

===Military Deployment===

===Geography=== 
Cogdell is a world possessed of considerable quantities of potable water, flourishing forests and rich farmland.<ref>Hot Spots:Contracts, p.4</ref>
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'', set around the year 3025, gives a population of 1.536 billion for Cogdell and describes the environment as "tropical" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical").
