Tukayyid is a world that is either famous or infamous depending on where your loyalties lay.

Origin

The world was originally colonized in the 25th Century with religious communities and agricultural companies controlling all interest in the planet.  The world switched hands between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine before eventually becoming a world within the newly created Free Rasalhague Republic in 3034.  The world continued to serve as a basket world for the Free Rasalhague Republic for many years until May 1st 3052.

Intent on saving Terra from battle ComStar chose the planet as a proxy world for a Trial of Possession between the ComGuard and the Invading Clan that would decide the fate of Terra.  For twenty-one days the Clans and ComStar fought over Tukayyid with ComStar victorious over the Clan invaders bringing a Truce to the Inner Sphere for fifteen years.

Following this battle Tukayyid effectively became an armed camp with much of its population leaving the planet fleeing the Clan border the battlefields fought over against the Clans being picked over by ComStar.  For more than a decade ComStar, the Star League Defence Force and the Free Rasalhague Dominion worked together to stop Clan raids on the planet with Tukayyid hosting the First Martial Olympiad of the Second Star League in late 3067.  Following heavy attacks against the Free Rasalhague Republic Tukayyid followed the example of other planets in the Free Rasalhague Republic and joined the Rasalhague Dominion.

After years under Rasalhague Dominion control Tukayyid slowly returned to being the agricultural world with citizens from across the Rasalhague Dominion coming to the world repopulating many of the abandoned cities.  Tukayyid however was not a world that would disappear into history however instead in 3088 Clan Wolf brought the world back into the forefront of Clan society when Clan Wolf declared a Trial of Possession over the city of Skupo claiming it from the Rasalhague Dominion.  This battle saw the debut of the Tomahawk OmniMech and within a week of the Wolf victory they had evacuated Skupo and begun demolishing the city.  Then in 3089 Clan Sea Fox seized the planet from the Rasalhague Dominion.

When Clan Sea Fox claimed the planet they decided that they wished for Tukayyid to become a seat of power for the Clans, replacing the lost world of Strana Mechty, and on the 5th April 3090 the Clan Grand Council sat in session for the first time in the Wolf built City of Andrey.  On the same date the survival of Clan Coyote was revealed.

Tukayyid Today

Today the world of Tukayyid is the Capitol planet of Clan Space in the Inner Sphere and is classed as an independent planet under the direction of the Loremaster of the Clans.  Unlike other planets controlled by the Clans none of their independent units are given authority on the planet instead Tukayyid is ruled by the Loremaster of the Clans and is protected by the Ebon Guard Galaxy, one of the most powerful units in all of the Clan forces, at six clusters in strength the Ebon Guard have bases across the planet.

While all of the Clans have a number of civilian and military personnel on the planet and each of the Clans is welcome to trade on the planet combat, for traditional Trials of Possession, are restricted to a series of several live fire arenas based in the abandoned Cities of Dinju Heights and Port Racice.  Strangely despite the Clan's looking down on the games of Solaris VII the battles on Tukayyid are often streamed across Clan space via the Chatterweb and have proven to be very popular.  Unlike the Solaris Games these battles are not purely for entertainment and personal gain instead each of the Clans fight over resources constructed on the planet.

The system is also a trade hub with every Clan having significant numbers of traders based on the planet and on the system’s multiple recharge stations.  Scientists move freely between the massive research facilities on the planet sharing ideas this is most notable in the Disease Research Facility on the outskirts of the City of Andrey.
