The system was first discovered by humans in [[2494]] by [[Albert Radulov]], a deep space explorer employed by the [[Rigelian Collective]]. He promptly named the system '''Radulov''', but was subsequently convicted of interstellar fraud, and the details of the location of the Radulov system and the survey information on its worlds gathered by his expedition were promptly lost for several decades as a result.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> Kylie Tanis, granddaughter of Albert Radulov, rediscovered the lost system data in [[2576]]. Kylie was a strident dissenter against the [[Pollux Proclamation]] issued by [[First Lord]] [[Ian Cameron]], and she decided to gather together more than one and a half thousand like-minded dissenters from the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and set off for the Radulov system.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> Tanis' colonization expedition arrived in the Radulov system in [[2600]], but Kylie Tanis had died two jumps prior to their arrival; the colonists chose to rename the system to '''Tanis''' in honor of their leader and founded their first colony settlement on Stacha. The settlement was named Markham, and was soon beset with problems. Ravaged by a series of pandemics, the first decade was very hard for the colonists, and when a second colony expedition arrived in [[2670]] they discovered that only four hundred and fifty colonists were still alive. With the infusion of new blood the colony was soon growing, and by [[2750]] was far enough along the road to recovery that the colonists had founded a second colony, Khartoum.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> By [[2850]] all three habitable worlds within the Tanis system supported colonies, all of which were linked in a symbiotic relationship that met all of the system's needs. As a result, the Tanites developed no contacts with outside systems and had mothballed or repurposed their supplies of military equipment.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] discovered the Tanis system in [[2965]] and immediately set out to conquer it. Completely outclassed and outgunned, the Tanites had no realistic means to fight back and were swiftly conquered, leaving the Cloud Cobras with three successful Star League-era colonies that were self-sufficient and had basic infrastructure in place, but which were populated by a population determined not to assimilate.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> The Tanites initially opposed the Cloud Cobras via passive resistance, stopping services, allowing elements of the infrastructure to develop mechanical problems and slowing production at their various factories and facilities. The Cloud Cobra warrior caste reacted in a belligerent fashion, destroying the city of Placard and killing the five hundred thousand Tanites living there. Despite this genocidal act the Tanites continued to refuse to assimilate, leaving the Cloud Cobras facing the prospect of having to annihilate the colonists.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> In [[2995]] a rebel group on Alexandra acquired enough weapons to rise up, capturing the main planetary starport and declaring Alexandra a free world. The Cloud Cobras responded with a two-year campaign that involved almost half the Cloud Cobra [[touman]], but which still could not subdue the Tanites, who were prepared to die rather than assimilate.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> Peace came to the Tanis system when leaders from the labor and merchant castes of Clan Cloud Cobra came to an agreement with the Tanites in [[2997]] that saw the Cloud Cobras officially declared the owners of the system, but agree to leave only a light guard, in exchange for allowing the Tanite worlds to govern and operate themselves as they had before while producing the resources and products demanded by the Cloud Cobras. This staved off the complete genocide of the Tanite population, and the apparent worthlessness of the Tanite worlds saw the Cloud Cobras officially remain the uncontested overlords of the Tanis system until the [[Wars of Reaving]].<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> In practice, output from the Tanite worlds was constantly low, and in [[3004]] the Cloud Cobras implemented heavy sterilization protocols on the populace. The combination of isolation and self-governance saw the Tanite worlds become a haven for the [[Dark Caste]]. Although the system would change hands between the Cloud Cobras, [[Clan Burrock]], and [[Clan Star Adder]], the Tanite leaders maintained the appearance of subservience while continuing to expand the influence of the Dark Caste and later [[The Society]] on the Tanite worlds. In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] a flotilla of three WarShips belonging to [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] jumped into the Tanis system and demanded repairs and servicing from the Cloud Cobra recharging station in place in the system. In-system at the time was [[Star Admiral]] [[Hollyann Kardaan]] and a portion of the Cloud Cobra Alpha Reserve; Admiral Kardaan led the ''[[Liberator (WarShip class)|Liberator]]''-class CCS ''[[Incense]]'' and four of her six assault [[DropShip]]s against the Smoke Jaguar forces. The engagement lasted ten minutes before the Smoke Jaguar commander conceded defeat and accepted an offer of ''[[hegira]]'', leaving a ''[[Fredasa (WarShip class)|Fredasa]]''-class corvette and two new ''[[Miraborg (DropShip class)|Miraborg]]''-class DropShips as ''[[isorla]]'' for the victorious Cloud Cobra forces. In 3062 the CCS ''[[Perdition's Flame]]'' was the only ''Fredasa'' in service with the Cloud Cobras, making it likely—but not certain—that she was the corvette won at Tanis.<ref name="FM:WCp31">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 31: "Cloud Cobra Keshiks and Reserve"</ref> After the [[Trial of Absorption|absorption]] of the Burrocks the Tanite leadership threw their lot in with the shadow leadership of the Burrocks and their plans for the rebirth of their Clan.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> The reborn Clan Burrock's newborn Zeta Galaxy, formerly Clan Star Adder's Upsilon Galaxy, ambushed the [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)| Ice Hellion Beta Galaxy]] at the [[DS-822]] waystation in 3072, heavily damaging their escorting [[WarShip]] and waylaying three of their five JumpShips.<ref name=wor98>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 98</ref> During early 3073, the Galaxy split itself into three task forces, each with WarShip support, and set about a campaign of raiding the fringes of the [[Kerensky Cluster]] and outposts on the [[Exodus Road]], destroying all [[HPG]] stations within fifty light years of the Tanis system. The Galaxy fought two major space battles against [[Clan Diamond Shark]] in the [[Salonika]] system, capturing forty-eight merchant vessels.<ref name=wor102>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 102</ref> At the end of the Wars of Reaving, the Tanites actions in throwing their lot with the Burrocks backfired. In late 3074, the remains of Zeta Galaxy were on Tanis, where they were destroyed by orbital bombardment by Clan Star Adder forces.<ref name=wor144>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 144</ref> === Military Deployment === ====3061==== * [[First Cobra Coil (Clan Cloud Cobra)|First Cobra Coil]]<ref name=FMWC161>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 161</ref> * [[170th Cobra Coil (Clan Cloud Cobra)|170th Cobra Coil]]<ref name=FMWC161/> * [[Seventy-third Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Seventy-third Cobra Guards]]<ref name=FMWC161/> * [[185th Cobra Fang (Clan Cloud Cobra)|185th Cobra Fangs]]<ref name=FMWC161/> * [[268th Cobra Fang (Clan Cloud Cobra)|268th Cobra Fangs]]<ref name=FMWC161/> ==Alexandra== ===Planetary Description=== The innermost world of the Tanis system, Alexandra has large underwater mountain ranges forming a number of long island chains, and almost three quarters of the planet was covered in water. The water itself contained large quantities of arsenic, and Alexandra became home to the majority of the Tanite mining industry and the main heavy factory complex for the system. The factory complex would later be converted to military use.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> ==Stacha== ===Planetary Description=== Locked into an elliptical path roughly opposite to the world of Tanis and at approximately the same proximity from the system star, Stacha was a world suitable for widespread agriculture. The first world in the system to be colonized, Stacha had large swaths of plains and was planted with vast agricultural crops by the citizens of Khartoum, the second colony founded in the system. The original colony, Markham, was the site of the largest spaceport in the system, along with a number of small factories and repair bays, making Stacha an important part of the Tanite shipping network and infrastructure.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> ==Tanis== ===Planetary Description=== Tanis was half-covered with water and provided most of the freshwater used by the population of the three colony worlds. The three major colonies on Tanis were Mockva Central, Punjabi and Yule; Yule was surrounded by pastureland and Punjabi was the center of a large number of fisheries, but Mockva Central was the site of most of the Tanite industry. Outside of the three major colonies were numerous small family compounds, generally numbering less than a hundred people and dotted across the main continent. The major settlements and their outlying supply stations were all connected by broad, raised track beds that were laid down with great precision, running laser-straight between destinations; visible from orbit, these track beds gave Tanis an unusual geometric visual texture.<ref name="WoRSp5+"/> ==Map Gallery== <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> ==Nearby Systems== <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (1 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="over30" | [[Arcadia (Clan_System)|Arcadia]] | class="over30" | 58.6 | class="over60" | [[Babylon]] | class="over60" | 66.2 | class="over60" | [[Circe]] | class="over60" | 66.2 | class="over60" | [[Dagda (Clan_System)|Dagda]] | class="over60" | 74.9 |- | class="over60" | [[Eden]] | class="over60" | 76.8 | class="over60" | [[Fasa (system)|Fasa]] | class="over60" | 89.7 | class="over60" | [[Shadow]] | class="over60" | 156.9 | class="over60" | [[Foster]] | class="over60" | 165.0 |- | class="over60" | [[Lum]] | class="over60" | 167.2 | class="over60" | [[Brim]] | class="over60" | 168.6 | class="over60" | [[Ironhold]] | class="over60" | 175.6 | class="over60" | [[Gatekeeper]] | class="over60" | 179.6 |- | class="over60" | [[Atreus (Clan_System)|Atreus]] | class="over60" | 184.0 | class="over60" | [[Strana Mechty]] | class="over60" | 187.5 | class="over60" | [[Huntress]] | class="over60" | 187.9 | class="over60" | [[Albion (Clan_System)|Albion]] | class="over60" | 189.1 |- | class="over60" | [[EC821-387D]] | class="over60" | 196.3 | class="over60" | [[Homer|Zara]] | class="over60" | 197.1 | class="over60" | [[York (Clan_System)|York]] | class="over60" | 204.3 | class="over60" | [[Niles (Clan_System)|Niles]] | class="over60" | 204.6 |- |} ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving Supplemental]]'' [[Category: Planets]] [[Category: Clan Homeworlds]]
