+ | ==Planetary History== | ||
+ | '''Kobe''' was originally settled in the early [[twenty-fifth century]]. At that time the planet had just settled down - the continents and seas had formed, and the volcanoes of a young world were silent for the first time. The founding population of Kobe had died out by the end of the [[Age of War]], but Kobe would be repopulated during the [[Star League]] era; Kobe's inhabitants would turn their world into a beautiful garden paradise that featured flora and fauna from across the [[Inner Sphere]]. It became a popular vacation spot during the Star League era.<ref name=hs171/> | ||
+ | |||
+ | All that changed after the fall of the Star League. Shortly after the [[Amaris Civil War]] started, Kobe entered a new phase of volcanic activity. This poured hundreds of tons of ash into the air, blocking sunlight. The world went from a tropical paradise to an arctic wilderness in just a few short years. The inhabitants were able to keep their industrial base producing computer parts, but the radical environmental shifts rendered three of the five continents uninhabitable.<ref name=hs171/> | ||
+ | During the [[Second Succession War]] Kobe was one of many planets devastated by the [[Draconis Combine]]'s search and destroy missions.<ref name="HKp64"/> | ||
− | == | + | ===Clan Invasion=== |
− | + | During [[Operation REVIVAL]]'s Fifth Wave the planet was attacked by [[Clan Wolf]] in December [[3051]]. The planet still held a special place in [[Clan]] mythology as one of the [[Inner Sphere]]'s "paradise worlds" and thus the Wolves were disappointed to find it transformed from its former beauty. Under the command of [[saKhan]] [[Garth Radick]] the entire [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]] fought against the planet's defenders, the [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]] [[RCT]] under the command of [[Hauptmann General]] [[Joy Corelli]] and the supporting First and Second Kobe Mechanized Brigades which contributed two battalions of [['Mechs]] to the fight. The two sides first met at Ash Valley, where an [[Elemental]] unit succeeded in infiltrating the Guards' lines and assassinating the general, causing their retreat. [[Leftenant General]] [[Jinders Green-Davion]] displayed remarkable skill in keeping the Guards' retreat from becoming a rout and proved himself an able commander in the subsequent battles at New Pompeii and Cinder Bay. Unfortunately the Guards took too many losses to keep the Wolves away from the planet's industrial and political center, and they were forced to retreat to [[Thun]], conceding the planet to Clan Wolf.<ref name=WCS067>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 67</ref> | |

+ | The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game ''[[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]]'', set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of 1,009,000,000 for Kobe and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Major producer of electronics and chemical engines." | ||

Planetary History[edit]
Kobe was originally settled in the early twenty-fifth century. At that time the planet had just settled down - the continents and seas had formed, and the volcanoes of a young world were silent for the first time. The founding population of Kobe had died out by the end of the Age of War, but Kobe would be repopulated during the Star League era; Kobe's inhabitants would turn their world into a beautiful garden paradise that featured flora and fauna from across the Inner Sphere. It became a popular vacation spot during the Star League era.[1]
All that changed after the fall of the Star League. Shortly after the Amaris Civil War started, Kobe entered a new phase of volcanic activity. This poured hundreds of tons of ash into the air, blocking sunlight. The world went from a tropical paradise to an arctic wilderness in just a few short years. The inhabitants were able to keep their industrial base producing computer parts, but the radical environmental shifts rendered three of the five continents uninhabitable.[1]
During the Second Succession War Kobe was one of many planets devastated by the Draconis Combine's search and destroy missions.[8]
Clan Invasion[edit]
During Operation REVIVAL's Fifth Wave the planet was attacked by Clan Wolf in December 3051. The planet still held a special place in Clan mythology as one of the Inner Sphere's "paradise worlds" and thus the Wolves were disappointed to find it transformed from its former beauty. Under the command of saKhan Garth Radick the entire Beta Galaxy fought against the planet's defenders, the Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards RCT under the command of Hauptmann General Joy Corelli and the supporting First and Second Kobe Mechanized Brigades which contributed two battalions of 'Mechs to the fight. The two sides first met at Ash Valley, where an Elemental unit succeeded in infiltrating the Guards' lines and assassinating the general, causing their retreat. Leftenant General Jinders Green-Davion displayed remarkable skill in keeping the Guards' retreat from becoming a rout and proved himself an able commander in the subsequent battles at New Pompeii and Cinder Bay. Unfortunately the Guards took too many losses to keep the Wolves away from the planet's industrial and political center, and they were forced to retreat to Thun, conceding the planet to Clan Wolf.[27]

Geography[edit]
The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 1,009,000,000 for Kobe and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Major producer of electronics and chemical engines."
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Ash Valley: site of an important battle during Operation REVIVAL.[27]
- Cinder Bay: site of an important battle during Operation REVIVAL.[27]
- New Pompeii: site of an important battle during Operation REVIVAL.[27]

Notes[edit]
It was confirmed by one of the BattleTech Developers that Kobe's absence from maps prior to 2750 was due to the world being depopulated after the initial colonization and then subsequently repopulated.
“ | As for Kobe - it was settled in the early 25th, died out for some reason, and was resettled during the Star League. | ” |
