This is for something that might take place in a campaign.
After a rogue Laio commander attempts an offensive into the Cappellan March (it fails), some Davion commanders form a plan to retaliate.
The plan is a two-stage move. First, an invasion force is sent to Yuris. This will result in a number of Laio forces been sent there, and will weaken the garrisions on several planets - including Mitchell, which is the real target. If Mitchell falls, then Menke, Jacson, and Victoria are in danger.
Thing is, I can't find my Laio field manual. Can anyone please give me some info on those planets?
Thanks.

Couldn't find anything in the Field Manual, but the IS Atlas says the following:
System Name: Victoria
Coordinates: 93.63, -351.04
Star Type: K7IV
Position in System: 2
Time to Jump Point: 3.00 days
Recharging Station: None
Population: 1,439,000,000
Percentage and Level of Native Life: 10% Plant
Description:
Victoria contains a recently uncovered subterranean BattleMech research center from the Star League era. Although the technology appears advanced for its time, none of the 'Mechs under development here were ever used. The reason for abandonment of the facility is not known.
The severe weather conditions on Victoria have made subterranean existence a way of life. Almost-daily hailstorms have let to the strictest building code ever developed. To satisfy the inhabitants' instinctual desire for sunlight, Victoria has developed a beautiful array of domed parks, which have become a tourist attraction throughout the Capellan sector.
The economy of Victoria is booming, however. Children that show early aptitude for engineering vie for appointments to the justly famed Victoria Institute of Engineering, whose graduates command huge fees and are in demand nearly everywhere. A portion of their fees automatically go to the Victorian Exchequer in acknowledgement of training provided.
[3061] The Victoria Academy of Arms and Technology is the Confederation's newest training center. It has yet to graduate a class, though a small number of students will graduate early in December 3063. Construction began in 3061, and the academy opened its doors to a few applicants in the same year. Many see these events as evidence that the Chancellor planned even then to make Victoria the capital world of a new Commonality.
With the Shengli Arms factory nearby, students can easily become involved with this facility. In fact, the Victoria Academy currently enrols more technicians than cadets in combat disciplines. Tech students spend time working in the factories in order to earn the occasional hour with an off-duty master technician or engineer.
[3063] The newly raised Prefectorate Guard regiment is permanently stationed on Victoria, so it may select from the Victoria Academy's graduating class a reasonable number of the best recruits. Until the academy's training schedule comes fully up to speed, which is expected to happen in 3065, selections are likely to remain few.
System Name: Menke
Coordinates: 91.54, -333.82
Star Type: K7V
Position in System: 2
Time to Jump Point: 3.00 days
Recharging Station: Zenith
ComStar Facility Class: A
Population: 4,514,000,000
Percentage and Level of Native Life: 25% Plant
Description:
This sunny, tropical world is the home of McCarron's Armored Cavalry. Large civilian populations, many of whom are ex-Cavalry troopers, serve as a pool for McCarron's units. Menke also boasts extensive BattleMech repair facilities and one of the highest concentrations of trained Techs in the Confederation. A jungle warfare-training center is located in the planet's southern hemisphere.
The perpetrual holding of the McCarron family, Menke is part of the Duchy of Mitchel, and Duke Adam Fitzwater has the right to use one of McCarron's regiments in the event of enemy action or a critical emergency. At least one McCarron's regiment, and usually two or more, can be found on Menke at any given time, making it a very uninviting target for Davion raiders.
There is nothing about Jacson.

Thanks.
I'm thinking that if there's nothing on Jacson then it's probably a backwater of sorts.
