History
Trell I was first colonized in 2616. The planet's official name is Trell I, for being the first (innermost) planet of the Trell system, but the natives have slurred the words together into the word "Trellwan". Inhabitants of Trellwan are called "Trellwanese", but are also casually referred to as "Trell". They have generally dropped the use of surnames.
There are three main colonies on Trellwan. The most important is Sarghad, the capital, which serves as administrative and trade center and has the planet's only spaceport.
Around 3025, a plot by Duke Hassid Ricol was orchestrated in an attempt to bring the world under the banner of the Draconis Combine. This plan was foiled by the newly created Gray Death Legion.
Clan Invasion
Victor Steiner-Davion was stationed here after his graduation from the Nagelring academy in 3049. The planet was an early target of Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival. Davion was evacuated ahead of the assault, but his unit was wiped out.
Having been conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival, Trell I was then invaded again during the Jihad, when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071. Trell I was invaded by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Trell I and other worlds throughout July 3071.[1][2]
Geography
A planetary year is only 45 standard days, while a planetary day is 30.5 standard days due to the planet's slow rotation. As a result, vulcanism and earthquakes are common and the climatic changes are quite abrupt and severe.
With only 9% of its surface being covered by two small oceans along the equator, Trellwan is a rather dry world although it has a breathable atmosphere. The land masses are largely either vast desert plains or rugged mountain ranges.
