Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard
Planetary History
Succession Wars
The population of Borghese was self-sustaining, providing its own food crops and famed for its exotic fish export known as the "mermaid" fish. The planet's capital was named Houston, which was also its largest city. As of 3054, the majority of the population lived in Houston, while the rest of its population lived in smaller towns and villages. Early settlers had tried to expand their habitats to the oceans of Borghese, however the planet's violent ocean storms made this impractical.[35]
Jihad
Clan Wolf attacked and conquered Borghese during the second half of January 3070 as one of a series of assaults into Lyran Alliance space, shadowing the path taken by Clan Jade Falcon, who were also using the disruption caused by the Jihad to annex a number of Lyran worlds.[26]
Dark Age
Clan Wolf-in-Exile mounted a raid upon Borghese's Mettle Archipelago in 3108 to test the newly-designed Mongrel BattleMech. The new machine acquitted itself well and the raid ended in victory for the First Wolf Guardians Binary carrying it out.[36]
After Clan Wolf abandoned its Occupation Zone in 3137, Borghese was eventually annexed by Clan Jade Falcon.[2]
IlClan Era
When the Falcon Occupation Zone collapsed into anarchy following the Battle of Terra, Borghese was left effectively independent. Being a self-sufficient world whose populace was pro-Clan, the warrior caste governor resisted the reborn Tamar Pact's overtures and perished along with the garrison when the Pact's military invaded. While the civilian caste council officially, if grudgingly, accepted the change in Borghese's allegiance, the planet was wracked by constant rioting by Clan-born civilians who demanded a return to Clan rule. A change in governor and the Tamar Pact's respect for their customs helped ease anti-government sentiment, and acceptance of their new nation began to take hold amongst Borghese's population.[37] [38] [39]
