Planetary History[edit]
Ctesiphon was a surface trading post located in the Deep Periphery. During Operation REVIVAL, Ctesiphon was operated by Clan Nova Cat. By the time of the Wars of Reaving, Ctesiphon had come to be controlled by Clan Diamond Shark, possibly after the Abjuration of the Nova Cats in the 3060s. The Diamond Sharks lost contact with Ctesiphon and two other Deep Periphery facilities, the small colony at Suda Bay and the fleet base and orbital trading post at Attenbrooks, all in the space of a ten-day period in 3072.[2]
The only information the Diamond Sharks had over the sudden silence came from a trade convoy, which had been ordered to return to the Inner Sphere following a loss of contact with the Diamond Shark enclaves on Vinton in the Clan Homeworlds. The trade convoy only managed to send a relatively brief communication before being lost, but it reported contact with a small armed fleet in the Ctesiphon system including a modified Davion-class destroyer (which had identified itself as the Nikolai Tesla) before suffering a crippling fighter strike and exploding.[2] The Nikolai Tesla was operated by either the Bandit Caste or the faction known as the Society and was likely responsible for the silence from all three systems.
By 3095, Ctesiphon was considered to be a destroyed facility.[3]
