Planetary History
Riga was one of the worlds that formed a part of the nation known as the Hanseatic League.[1]
Hanseatic Crusade
During Escorpión Imperio's takeover of the Hanseatic League, Alpha Galaxy advanced on Riga as part of Wave 4 in May 3140 after defeating Regional Defense Force Five on Köningsberg earlier in Wave 3. Riga fell with ease.[3]
Civil War Era
On 4 April 3067, Clan Diamond Shark merchant Mark Sennet attempted to conduct a live-fire demonstration of the Ha Otoko near Feuerberg for potential sale to the Hanseatic League. However, Regional Defense Force Four Major Hohiro Watanabe betrayed him in order to steal Clan equipment. This effort was unsuccessful and Sennet escaped with his life and his 'Mech.[4]
Military Deployment
3067
- Regional Defense Force Four (Veteran/Reliable)[2]
- - At this time, RDF 4 was at full strength, with 15% of the RDF using advanced equipment.
3140
- - The unit was split between Riga and Köningsberg.
Planetary Locations
- Broken Lands: a volcanic region of Südland, riddled with hollow lava tubes underneath brittle volcanic rock[4]
- Feuerberg: a large volcano; also known as Fire Mountain[4]
- Kepten: a village of dubious provenance twenty kilometers from Feuerberg, not found on any Hanseatic maps and implied to be set up to cover for the theft of Mark Sennet's Ha Otoko[4]
