Antallos III is the third planet in the Antallos system, and is an arid world with two moons. Following the collapse of the Star League civilization on Antallos collapsed quickly, and by the [[thirty-first century]] the barren wastes ("Free Zones") of Antallos were home to the worst of humanity. The chemically and biologically-tainted Free Zones were home to roving gangs and itinerant pirate bands. The economy of Antallos, such as it is, ran off of (mainly illegal) free trade.

=== The Star League ===

-->
−
Antallos was originally planned as a Star League trading outpost. It was to be a neutral planet where anyone can come to do business.
+
 
 +
==Planetary History==
 +
====Early History====
 +
Anywhere was one of the worlds targeted by [[Maxwell Rowe]] during his efforts to build up the Rim Worlds Republic, beginning in [[2330]]; Rowe began by negotiating a series of trade and barter pacts with worlds like Anywhere, carefully avoiding any suggestions of a military alliance, defensive or otherwise. Rowe added offers of social and technological favors including access to new Rim Worlds Republic university facilities over time, and through guile and slow but steady progress persuaded the natives of Anywhere to join the Republic.<ref name="TP1Ep18"/>
  
−
The bold experiment was a huge success in the era of the Star League. Wealthy patrons, eager to establish their own fortunes on the otherwise barren frontier world, created successful enclaves that drew in billions and eventually caused the Star League to plant their own bases on the planet in the interest of security.{{cn}}
+
====Reunification War====
 +
By the end of the [[Age of War]] Anywhere was a member of the [[Apollo Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130: "The Spark"</ref>
  
−
=== Succession Wars ===
+
The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133: "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>
−
When the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] broke out, the Draconis Combine (among others) ravaged the planet for its [[lostech]], eventually massacring half the population. This catastrophe resulted in the collapse of civilization, and Antallos's city-states started fighting amongst themselves. Combatants deployed weapons of every type except atomic and nuclear. As technology and resources dwindled, the intensity and barbarism of these wars have remained unchecked.{{cn}}

During the mid-3050s, the planet was adopted by the rogue mercenary unit [[Vinson's Vigilantes]], which attempted to be the planet's guardians while trying to get work. Also during this time, Pirate King, [[Vance Rezak]] and the [[Band of the Damned]] established their own estates on the outskirts of the city-states. The two powerful factions clashed with each other over the course of years, until [[3065]].  Where the Vigilantes command collapsed following a failed assault on the Band, before the survivors then joined the Band peacefully. The Damned becomes a powerful faction on the planet.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'' p. 199, "Pirates" - Band of the Damned - Band of the Damned absorbs rogue Vigilantes unit and become powerful faction on planet in 3065.</ref>
+
In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>

Antallos was a harsh world by the [[thirty-first century]]. In the northern hemisphere, the Sea of Despair was a vast lifeless desert surrounded by the few city-states which managed to trade across it. To the south were the Shattered Wastes, a badlands region thousands of kilometers long that held the distinction of being one of the roughest areas in the Periphery. The planet’s most vicious native predators lived here among the hidden oases that held small communities.{{cn}}
+
[[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] assigned a [[division]] from [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]], the [[11th Royal Division|Eleventh Royal Division]], to the conquest of Anywhere in [[2594]]. The Star League forces successfully took control of Lackhove,<ref name="H:RWp139">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139: "Bitter Harvests (2591-2596)"</ref> defeating the local militia forces, and remained in place as the local garrison until the Eleventh was redeployed for the invasion of [[Steelton]] in [[2595]].<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref>
  
−
Scattered around the world were just over thirty generally dome-enclosed city-states which provided a semblance of order for the majority of the world's population. As there was no central government, these city-states were independent, providing only their residents with security against the Zone Gangs that drifted through the Free Zones.  City-states often financed their existence through slavery and narcotics trafficking as well as other more serious activities. The defense of each city-state was provided by armies of slaves.{{cn}}
+
====Star League Era====
 +
Anywhere was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[2773]]-2775 [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37: "The Republic-Commonwealth War"</ref>
  
−
Antallos became home to a small but growing collection of ''[[dezgra]]'' Clansmen and survivors of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] after the [[Clan Invasion]]. Now belonging to the Clans' [[Dark Caste]], these survivors, of all types, formed their own version of a Zone Gang. Clan "gypsies" and other nomadic raiders employed every type of weaponry from deadly fauna to BattleMechs and wandered the Free Zones between the cities preying on travelers and other gangs. When demanded, itinerant raiders would sporadically bid their services to local warlords for crucial goods.{[cn}}
+
====After the War of 3039====
 +
In October [[3044]], a group of archeologists with [[Interstellar Expeditions]] contracted the [[Ace Darwin's WhipIts|WhipIts]] to provide security while they performed a dig on an abandoned Star League-era city on the planet]. The WhipIts by then were reduced to Ace himself and two other 'Mechs.<ref>''Shrapnel #8, ''Ace Darwin and the Battle of the Beer Fridge'' p. 136-139</ref>

Antallos was also home to outlaws aligned with every major organized crime syndicate within the Inner Sphere, pirates and renegades (including [[Vinson's Vigilantes]]), outcasts, prospectors, adventurers and political extremists (including [[Citizens for Davion Puirty]]).{{cn}}
+
====Clan Invasion====
 +
* See [[Battle of Anywhere (3050)]]
 +
In March [[3050]] Anywhere was a target during the first wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]], the [[Clan]] invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]]. The planetary defenders included the [[AFFC]] [[Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs]] and the [[Anywhere Militia]]. Clan Jade Falcon invaded Anywhere with the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Falcon Regulars]] of [[Vau Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]] leading the assault. The battle for control of the planet was fought across three locations: Pickrock Hill, Brigham Rollo, and Santina Trespass. The Eighth Falcons' speed in their attacks on the Chasseurs caused the AFFC combined-arms force to make several costly mistakes which led to the RCT losing 60% of their forces and the [[Federated Commonwealth]] losing control of the planet to the Falcons.<ref name="CJFSB">''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37: Anywhere - battle for Anywhere mauls 2nd New Ivaarsen Chasseurs.</ref>
  
−
The largest and wealthiest city on the planet during the thirty-first century was [[Port Krin]].
+
====Clan Ice Hellion Invasion====
 +
During the [[Jihad]], Clan Ice Hellion [[Operation: Ice Storm|launched an invasion]] of a number of Clan Jade Falcon worlds including Anywhere. The Ice Hellions captured the planet briefly in June 3071 with [[saKhan]] [[Conner Rood]] ahead of his [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Beta]] & [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxies]] task force. However, the Ice Hellions were later repulsed by Falcon forces in October 3071.<ref name="JHS3076p17">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 17: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp50">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 50: "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 28, 31: "Operation: Ice Storm" - Military Campaign of the Ice Hellions' capturing the planet briefly.

There were no formal mercenary hiring halls or anything even resembling a hiring hall on Antallos. Since most of the mercenaries coming to this world were down-on-their-luck or wanted men, and hiring halls were impractical. Many of the mercenary groups had a price on their head, yet they made themselves available to hire in the hopes of finding a way out of their predicament and finding a small amount of legitimacy.
+
====ilClan Era====
 +
When the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone was left defenseless in [[3151]] following the [[ilClan Trial]], Anywhere was annexed to the [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]] OZ in November by the [[5th Rangers (Clan Hell's Horses)|Fifth Rangers]].<ref name=TRp60/>

Antallos is a hot, dry, and mostly barren world. Almost ninety percent of the planet is land, most of which is either featureless deserts or rugged badlands, referred to as "Free Zones".  Most of these Free Zones were rendered uninhabitable during the Succession Wars by hostile native wildlife and the residue from biological and chemical warfare. The planet has five large seas and lakes, two small polar caps, and thick untamed jungle that dominates the equatorial regions.{{cn}}

Recharge time182 hours[1]

The Anywhere system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of June 3152 was located in the Clan Hell's Horses Occupation Zone.[2]

System Description[edit]

The Anywhere system is located near the Lackhove and Somerset systems.[3][4]

System History[edit]

The Anywhere system was settled during or soon after the First Exodus from Terra, but joined the Rim Worlds Republic prior to the Age of War.[5]

Political Affiliation[edit]

Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

Anywhere was one of the worlds targeted by Maxwell Rowe during his efforts to build up the Rim Worlds Republic, beginning in 2330; Rowe began by negotiating a series of trade and barter pacts with worlds like Anywhere, carefully avoiding any suggestions of a military alliance, defensive or otherwise. Rowe added offers of social and technological favors including access to new Rim Worlds Republic university facilities over time, and through guile and slow but steady progress persuaded the natives of Anywhere to join the Republic.[5]

Reunification War[edit]

By the end of the Age of War Anywhere was a member of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[6] Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[38]

The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing Operation MAILED FIST, the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near Apollo,[39] until a destructive raid on Alarion by the 4th Amaris Fusiliers in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing Rim Worlds Army concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.[40]

In late 2584 the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584.[41]

General Nathan Isaacson assigned a division from IV Corps, the Eleventh Royal Division, to the conquest of Anywhere in 2594. The Star League forces successfully took control of Lackhove,[42] defeating the local militia forces, and remained in place as the local garrison until the Eleventh was redeployed for the invasion of Steelton in 2595.[43]

Star League Era[edit]

Anywhere was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth War.[13]

After the War of 3039[edit]

In October 3044, a group of archeologists with Interstellar Expeditions contracted the WhipIts to provide security while they performed a dig on an abandoned Star League-era city on the planet]. The WhipIts by then were reduced to Ace himself and two other 'Mechs.[44]

Clan Invasion[edit]

In March 3050 Anywhere was a target during the first wave of Operation REVIVAL, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere. The planetary defenders included the AFFC Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs and the Anywhere Militia. Clan Jade Falcon invaded Anywhere with the Eighth Falcon Regulars of Vau Galaxy leading the assault. The battle for control of the planet was fought across three locations: Pickrock Hill, Brigham Rollo, and Santina Trespass. The Eighth Falcons' speed in their attacks on the Chasseurs caused the AFFC combined-arms force to make several costly mistakes which led to the RCT losing 60% of their forces and the Federated Commonwealth losing control of the planet to the Falcons.[45]

Clan Ice Hellion Invasion[edit]

During the Jihad, Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of a number of Clan Jade Falcon worlds including Anywhere. The Ice Hellions captured the planet briefly in June 3071 with saKhan Conner Rood ahead of his Beta & Zeta Galaxies task force. However, the Ice Hellions were later repulsed by Falcon forces in October 3071.[28][29][46][47]

ilClan Era[edit]

When the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone was left defenseless in 3151 following the ilClan Trial, Anywhere was annexed to the Hell's Horses OZ in November by the Fifth Rangers.[37]

Apocryphal Content Starts

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of only 5 million for Galuzzo and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "A real nowhere unless you're a pirate."
