There are a variety of reasons why Caph appears to be a good expansion target after all.


“Originally when first worlds settled, the planet had large range of jungles spanning three continents. However, after the Star League Civil War, only the continent Steam remained habitable. The planet was known for pharmaceutical products before and after the Succession Wars.

Steam and Caph Prime became famous for the reptiles that resembled Terran Dinosaurs, which became known as Dinosaurs of Caph. They were thought to be extinct until 3025, where small number of these creatures were discovered in jungle regions of Steam.

The planet was subsequently attacked by Rim Worlds Republic Military during the Amaris Civil War, an attack which gutted the Caph Institute of Technology. Republican forces also used chemical and biological weapons in their attack,

After the collapse of the Terran Hegemony and the Star League, Caph had become a hotly contested world. In 2789, in the Fifth Battle of Caph, three different Great Houses fought at the same time for control of the planet. Eventually, it became part of the Federated Suns at a terrible cost. The world, once was known for its research in BattleMech technology, was smoldering ruins. The world soon again changed hands to the Capellan Confederation midway through the Succession Wars.”

It still has a lot of wastelands and destroyed industries.

The areas outside of those that have been livable have also been destroyed in the last 5 years. The units on planet have been withered by local fighting, and yet, there are a lot of units here. Every single house has their mitts in Caph.



It’s time we helped the people.
