System Information
X:Y Coordinates-259.29:-44.25[e]

The Bella I system was the location of at least one habitable world and as at 3145 was located in the Wolf Empire.[1][2]

System Description

The Bella I system is located close to the Alula Borealis and Hornir's Keep systems.[3]

System History

The Bella I system was colonised during the First Exodus from Terra or shortly after.[4]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

Age of War

Bella I had the misfortune of being one of the key targets of Captain-General Geralk Marik - also variously known as "Geralk the Bloodthirsty" and "The Bloodthirsty Giant" - who spent years on campaign against the Lyran Commonwealth, concentrating his efforts on securing Bella I and Alula Australis for the Free Worlds League.[5] Geralk's attacks began in in mid-2455, and were fought in complete defiance of the Ares Conventions; Geralk considered everyone on an enemy world to be a viable target, and made extensive use of massed artillery bombardments to allow his armoured units to crush resistance. These brutal tactics saw him capture Bella I in early 2456, just eleven months after the first League attacks.[6]

The Lyran Commonwealth was able to recapture Bella I and Alula Australis in 2468 through the use of BattleMechs, after Lyran 'Mechs had already ended Geralk's campaign by crushing him to death on Loric in 2459.[5]

The Jihad

Following the dissolution of the Free Worlds League in January 3079, elements within the Lyran Alliance moved to annex a number of former League worlds between August and September that year. Bella I was one of seven worlds conquered during this period, and the invasion only stopped when Archon Adam Steiner declared that any other bouts of what he termed "unauthorised adventurism" would be considered an act of treason.[21]
