Planetary History
The planet's colonization was part of Star League-In-Exile's efforts to spread out the crowded population of the Pentagon worlds to newly discover star cluster.[3]
In 2912, Clan Coyote's Omicron Galaxy, under Galaxy Commander David Christofferson, would win a great victory against Clan Smoke Jaguar's enclave on Albion after the Jaguar citizens revolted against the warrior caste on many of their worlds.[4][5]
