Inner Sphere Classified Files: The Pentagon
BACK TO MAIN FILE
Another Pentagon is the set of five planets orbiting a sun in the Outer Rim, shaped (obviously) in a Pentagon, in the Battletech/Mechwarrior saga. In 2784, a political fracture caused the Exodus, where the Star Leauge Defence Force left the Inner Sphere, as well as many small groups that left for the Periphery Realms. The Clans departed in search of a galaxy similar to the Inner Sphere, and stumbled upon the Pentagon. Here they set up their militaristic lifestyle in the traditon of the Star League, under the leadership of Aleksandr Kerensky. This did not last, however, as in Human tradition the worlds splintered and violent war broke out. Alexander's son, Nicholas Kerensky, left with 800 of his most loyal commanders to travel deeper into unknown space and settled elsewhere in the Outer Rim where they established the Clans. The Pentagon worlds were ravaged by the wars, and their inhabitants eventually ended either returning to the Inner Sphere or drifting off in search of the Clans. Few of the Pentagon's inhabitants survived.
