The Comstar Remnant Worlds

When the Exodus happened and the last remnants of Star League left with Kerensky, the House Lords made one final decision to appoint Jerome Blake as head of the vast communications organization that would become Comstar. Having a neutral party in control of the means of communication and not in the hands of the Houses seemed like an ideal situation. However, as history would show, Comstar would prove to be anything but impartial.

It was shortly after the seizing of Terra and the surrounding worlds that a small group of agents met with the realization that, if Comstar was going to act in such a way, if they were going to instead of being truly neutral but work towards their own goals, then it would only be a matter of time before one or more of the Houses turned on them. They would need contingencies in place for when that day happened and those plans would need to be kept secret, even from their own leadership if need be. This ultra clandestine cabal would call themselves Vafthrudnir - The Weavers. Over time, they would use the resources of Comstar to find locations of lost colonies, hidden SLDF bases, and secret sites. They would then work to secure and quietly prepare these facilities for the day when the Inner Sphere turned on Comstar. Operation Vargavinter would be the code word for this event that they hoped would never come to pass.

With the end of the Jihad, rise of the Republic of the Sphere, and the Blackout, the powers moved to absorb what remained. The systems listed below are those that Vafthrudnir had prepared for this eventuality, all being given code names of mythical realms, their real locations and names wiped from all records. All of these worlds are located in the Deep Periphery near the New Suns Republic, a Deep Periphery state that they had been hidden until recently. While these systems have a Comstar presence, not all are under Comstar control. Word of Blake holdouts have seized several and there is still conflict between the two groups.
