Overview
Featuring one inhabited planet (the fifth), Wayside is a deep periphery system along the Exodus Road between the Inner Sphere and the Clan homeworlds, in striking distance (implicitly, 2 jumps away) of EC-EY-4170 aka Cat's Eye 009, EC-EY-4189 aka Boltin, and Tarnby.
Wayside V (Wildcat)
The planet Wayside V was struck by an immense meteor at some point, which cost the world its atmosphere and most of its water. Only a few habitable zones remain the deepest (former) sea beds on the mostly airless planet, while the heights continents rise above the "stratosphere" with airless moonscapes.[1]
As of 3058, Clan Smoke Jaguar maintained a major resupply depot on Wayside V and had named the planet "Wildcat". In that year, the Northwind Highlanders attempted to capture the world but found the defenders far stronger than anticipated. The Highlanders then attacked nearby Clan Nova Cat installations at Cat's Eye 009, Boltin, and Tarnby posing as Smoke Jaguars, to draw them to Wildcat where the two Clan forces proceeded to decimate each other, allowing the Highlanders to salvage vast amounts on Clan technology before returning to the Inner Sphere.
Because of the defeat, Clan Smoke Jaguar Khan Lincoln Osis had stripped the world of the name "Wildcat" by 3060.[2]
