	The colonists who settled on Ashio were able to raise the planetary economy above subsistence level by ranching the native mammoth species, which resembled an elephant-sized cow and which could be farmed for meat that was almost indistinguishable from [[Terra]]n beef.

−	In the thirty-first, century Ashio served as the capital of the Ashio Prefecture; the planet benefited from a significant level of infrastructure geared towards acting as a logistical and command hub for the prefecture, as well as modest levels of agricultural, manufacturing and mining. Ashio was occupied by foreign troops twice between [[3060]] and [[3080]]; during the [[FedCom Civil War]] troops from the [[Draconis March]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] [[Battle of Ashio (3064)|occupied]] the planet, and later during the [[Jihad]] the [[Word of Blake]] took control of the planet. These two occupations saw the industrial and urban sectors of Ashio take damage, but that damage was relatively mild compared to many other planets and the bulk of the rebuilding needed had been completed by [[3079]]. The largely agrarian portions of the planet managed to escape both occupations almost unscathed.<ref name=OBDC35/>	+	In the thirty-first century Ashio served as the capital of the Ashio Prefecture; the planet benefited from a significant level of infrastructure geared towards acting as a logistical and command hub for the prefecture, as well as modest levels of agricultural, manufacturing and mining.

−	During the Dark Age, the Geological Institute of Ashio announced that movement had been detected along one of the three major fault lines that converged under Vesuvius Prime, the continent that was home to a massive volcano named Mount Vesuvius Major. The volcano and fault lines had been inactive throughout the preceding centuries and mining industries had developed on Vesuvius Prime to extract the various minerals and ores present as a consequence of earlier geological activity, but the announcement by the GIA led to the mining industries gradually moving away from Vesuvius Prime.<ref name="DARWp28"/>	+	During the Dark Age the Geological Institute of Ashio announced that movement had been detected along one of the three major fault lines that converged under Vesuvius Prime, the continent that was home to a massive volcano named Mount Vesuvius Major.

Ashio has three moons named Hyde, Kauner and Rossi.<ref name="DARWp28"/> === Planetary History === ==== Early History ==== The colonists who settled on Ashio were able to raise the planetary economy above subsistence level by ranching the native mammoth species, which resembled an elephant-sized cow and which could be farmed for meat that was almost indistinguishable from [[Terra]]n beef. Over time, Ashio became one of the most prolific beef-exporting planets in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="DARWp28"/> ====Star League==== During the final years of the [[Star League]], Ashio was host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref name=FMSLDFp256>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 256: "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref> ====Succession Wars==== Ashio served as the Prefecture capital of the Ashio Prefecture for much of its history while the planet was still affiliated with the Draconis Combine. The Combine constructed Ashio University on the planet prior to the [[First Succession War]], an institute that served as a political and military college and which counted a number of members of the [[House Kurita|Kurita]] family during its history. The first Ashio University was destroyed during the First Succession War, but was rebuilt by the Combine government as a part of the [[People's Reconstruction Effort]] during that brief rebuilding program. Having been rebuilt, the University was subsequently destroyed again; the second incarnation of the university was destroyed by a fire, which was believed to have been started deliberately by anti-Kuritan insurgents.<ref name="DARWp28"/> Ashio University was rebuilt for a third time, with the third incarnation lasting into the [[Dark Age]], dedicated to studies relating to culture and the earth sciences and based out of the planetary capital city, Iscariot.<ref name="DARWp28"/> ====Civil War and Jihad==== In the thirty-first century Ashio served as the capital of the Ashio Prefecture; the planet benefited from a significant level of infrastructure geared towards acting as a logistical and command hub for the prefecture, as well as modest levels of agricultural, manufacturing and mining. Ashio was occupied by foreign troops twice between [[3060]] and [[3080]]; during the [[FedCom Civil War]] troops from the [[Draconis March]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] occupied the planet ([[Battle of Ashio (3064)]], and later during the [[Jihad]] the [[Word of Blake]] took control of the planet. These two occupations saw the industrial and urban sectors of Ashio take damage, but that damage was relatively mild compared to many other planets and the bulk of the rebuilding needed had been completed by [[3079]]. The largely agrarian portions of the planet managed to escape both occupations almost unscathed.<ref name=OBDC35/> ====Dark Age==== During the Dark Age the Geological Institute of Ashio announced that movement had been detected along one of the three major fault lines that converged under Vesuvius Prime, the continent that was home to a massive volcano named Mount Vesuvius Major. The volcano and fault lines had been inactive throughout the preceding centuries and mining industries had developed on Vesuvius Prime to extract the various minerals and ores present as a consequence of earlier geological activity, but the announcement by the GIA led to the mining industries gradually moving away from Vesuvius Prime.<ref name="DARWp28"/> === Planetary Rulers === ==== 3025 ==== * Duke [[Elnar Kloven]]<ref name=HK187>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 187 (PDF p. 189): "A Brief Atlas" – Ashio entry</ref> ==== 3067 ==== * Duke [[Nikolai Jansma]]<ref name=FCCW203/> ==== 3130 ==== * Governor Seth Jasma<ref name="DARWp28"/> * Planetary Legate Bianca Fetladral<ref name="DARWp28"/> === Military Deployment === ====2764==== * [[192nd Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref name=FMSLDFp256 /> ====2786==== * [[Ninth Dieron Regulars]]<ref name="FSWp137">''First Succession War'', p. 137: "First Succession War Deployment Table - DCMS"</ref> ====3025==== * [[Twelfth Dieron Regulars]]<ref name=HK133/> * [[Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars]]<ref name=HK133>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 133: "Unit Deployment Table"</ref> * [[Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars]]<ref name=HK133/><ref name=HKDCp187>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 187 "Ashio"</ref> ====3038==== * [[Second Genyosha]]<ref name=H:Wo3039>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 135–141: "Deployment Table"</ref> * Twelfth Dieron Regulars<ref name=H:Wo3039/> * Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars<ref name=H:Wo3039/> ====3040==== * Twelfth Dieron Regulars<ref name=H:Wo3039/> * Twenty-fourth Dieron Regulars<ref name=H:Wo3039/> ====3050==== * Twelfth Dieron Regulars<ref name=20YU40/> * Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars<ref name=20YU40>''20 Year Update'', p. 40: "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref> ====3067==== * [[Sixteenth Sun Zhang Cadre]]<ref name=FMU117>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 117: "Draconis Combine Deployment Table"</ref> ====3085==== * [[II Triarii Protectors]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 186: "RAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> :- At this time, the II Triarii was at 30% of full strength, with 66% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology. ====3145==== * [[First Arkab Legion]]<ref name=FM3145p64>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 64: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> === Geography === The continents on Ashio are named Rhodesia, Vesuvius Prime and Zaire.<ref name=FCCW203/><ref name=OBDC35/> Ashio is a young planet, and as such has high mountains and deep oceans; all three continents are mountainous, as are the handful of island chains dotted around the surface of the planet. Ashio has relatively modest deposits of minerals and the amount of arable land available is limited, but it is home to extremely large mammoths native to the planet. The mammoths resemble cattle, but are elephant-sized.<ref name="DARWp28"/> The single most distinct geological feature on Ashio is Mount Vesuvius Major, a volcano ten kilometers tall, located on the continent of Vesuvius Prime, which may be the largest volcano in the [[Inner Sphere]]. Mount Vesuvius Major dominates the landscape of the southern continent of Vesuvius Prime and sits at crux of three major fault lines, which have been inactive for the majority of Ashio's settled history.<ref name="DARWp28"/> By [[3025]] scientists estimated that if Vesuvius Major erupted, it could block all sunlight from the planet, sending it into an ice age.<ref name=HKDCp187/> The continent of Zaire is located in the northern hemisphere of Ashio, while Rhodesia is located to the northeast of Zaire.<ref name="DARWp28"/> === Planetary Locations === * Ashio University: an institute of higher learning that had been destroyed no less than three times by the [[thirty-second century]], with the third incarnation of the University being located in the city of Iscariot.<ref name="DARWp28"/> * The Geological Institute of Ashio: an institute of higher learning located in Shigata and affiliated with Ashio University.<ref name="DARWp28"/> * Iscariot: the planetary capital city, located on Rhodesia.<ref name="DARWp28"/> * Shigata: a large city located in southern Zaire.<ref name="DARWp28"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Companies and Industries=== ===Local Flora and Fauna=== === Image gallery === --> == Notes == * The Duke of Ashio in 3067, Nikola Jansma, is a reference to the founder of the BattleTech wiki. == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" !
