[3132] One of the most quickly developed of the early colonies in mankind's first exodus into space, Oliver's
population grew rapidly as droves of colonists came to exploit its rich, easily tapped resources. Before long, this
world became an industrial and military mainstay of the Terran Alliance and its successor, the Terran Hegemony.
During the height of the original Star League, in fact, Oliver was home to several major defense contractors,
including AeroFighter Unlimited, a major aerospace fighter manufacturer, and BattleMech producer, Brigadier
Corporation.
The fall of the Star League and the Succession Wars that followed, however, were not so kind to Oliver. Both
AeroFighter Unlimited and Brigadier's Warez plant were both destroyed by repeated raids and invasions from the
militaries of Houses Steiner, Liao, and even Kurita. The cycle of destruction and reconstruction stagnated the
planetary economy. Its pressing need for heightened defense, a result of being a favored target throughout the
Wars, led to the inevitable decline of the government into a military dictatorship, and its membership in the Ring
Coalition, a loose alliance of other nearby Free Worlds League planets on the Steiner-Liao border.
During the Jihad, fighting along the Lyran border led to the devastation of several cities, including the planetary
capital of Fort Jagger, and the loss of Quickcell Corporation, a major producer of internal combustion engines for
many League armored vehicles. Fortunately, the ceding of Oliver to The Republic, the influx of new citizens from
elsewhere in The Republic, and the "peace dividend" raised from Devlin Stone's military-material redemption
program, helped the world to finally recover from the scars of perpetual war. Brigadier Corporation, significantly
downsized and retooled, is now a producer of, primarily, industrial 'Mechs for export to other worlds, while the
rebuilt Quickcell Corporation plant offers ICEs for conventional vehicles, civilian transports, and industrial 'Mechs
of various types. Most striking, however, is the replacement of the planet's military dictatorship with a
representative democracy similar in many respects to that of The Republic at large, offering the citizens and
residents of this industrial world a greater degree of personal liberty than their forebears knew.
Oliver's capital city, Stone City (named in honor of Devlin Stone upon the planet's entry into The Republic), is
located on the southern continent of Clausia, along with the planet's primary spaceport. Brigadier Corporation's
main factory, in the city of Gordon, is located on the northeast continent of Gaineshi. Oliver's third large landmass,
Marania, is a less densely populated region, in part because much of it is a frozen tundra, where widespread use
of weapons of mass destruction and rampant strip mining from the early days of planetary development have
rendered much of the land scarred and unusable. Only a hearty few settlers remain in the scattered cities and
towns on Marania today.
[3132] Oliver was originally part of the Free Worlds League until the creation of The Republic. Oliver became
part of Prefecture VIII under the control of The Republic. After the fall of the HPG Network Fortress Republic
was created and many of the worlds under its control were set free.
[3135] Oliver remained part of The Republic and is now under its protection, inside the Fortress Republic.
