| Blackwind was thoroughly surveyed by the Explorer Corps in 3006 and was eventually exploited by the Word of Blake which established major military industries which included BattleMech and BattleArmor factories along with a substantial orbital shipyard complex. The site of a major clash between the Blackhawks and WoB forces in 3071, Blackwind was cleared of Blakist occupation and soon came under the sovereignty of the Tortuga Republic. Blackwind continues to operate as a major industrial center for the republic as well as a hub of new colonization. |
