The ''Coral Gulf'' and a second merchant caste JumpShip, the ''[[Cyprus Dream]]'', had been dispatched as part of a Blood Spirit task force sent to raid enclaves belonging to [[Clan Star Adder]] in the [[Arcadia (Clan)|Arcadia]] and [[Tathis]] systems, but with orders to split off from the task force en route and then investigate neighboring systems in an effort to find a world that could be used to start a new Blood Spirit colony. The exploration mission was an effort by the leadership of Clan Blood Spirit to hedge against the worst possible outcome on [[York (Clan System)|York]]; the ''Cyprus Dream'' visited five systems without finding a habitable world, but the ''Coral Gulf'' successfully discovered the Colleen system in 3067 and identified that there were two habitable worlds, the second and fourth planets in the system. Neither world was a paradise in the making, but both were identified as having enough resources and being habitable enough to provide at least minimal sufficiency. The ''Coral Gulf'' deposited the bulk of the colony expedition on the second planet in the system, which was named '''Haven'''; the colonists consisted of a mix of personnel from the laborer, scientist and technician castes, along with the [[42nd Crimson Vanguard (Clan Blood Spirit)|Forty-second Crimson Vanguard Cluster]], and returned to the Clan Homeworlds to report the discovery. Under the cover of various other subsequent task forces active within the Homeworlds the Blood Spirits dispatched the ''Coral Gulf'' back to colonize the fourth planet in the system, dubbed '''Honor''', in early [[3068]], and then continued to dispatch additional ships for several years, accelerating the colonization efforts on both worlds.<ref name="WoRp14">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 14: "Voyage of Desperate Discovery"</ref> Under the leadership of [[Khan]] Boques and [[saKhan]] [[Bryce Schmitt]] Clan Blood Spirit began to withdraw from the Clan Homeworlds in [[3076]]; the [[Clan Blood Spirit Touman|Clan Blood Spirit ''touman'']] had taken significant losses during the [[Wars of Reaving]] battles fought on [[Circe]] and [[New Kent]], while the bulk of the industrial facilities belonging to the Clan on York and [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]] had been destroyed, leaving the Clan with no way of rebuilding quickly.<ref name="WoRp154">''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 154–156: "Clan Blood Spirit (Annihilated 3085)"</ref> The Blood Spirits withdrew from every holding in the Homeworlds other than [[Strana Mechty]], and while saKhan Schmitt was active in the [[Grand Council]] the Blood Spirits reduced their ''touman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s presence in the Homeworlds solely to a contingent of ''[[solahma]]'' on Strana Mechty itself. The Blood Spirits managed to keep the existence of their colonies in the Colleen system secret until [[3082]], when a scout vessel from [[Clan Stone Lion]] arrived in-system. The arrival of a ship from another Clan started an inexorable slide towards conflict, as knowledge of the existence of Colleen spread amongst the other Clans, none of whom would willingly allow the Blood Spirits to retain sole ownership of two potentially bountiful worlds.<ref name="WoRp154"/> [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] were the first Clan to deploy forces to the Colleen system following the Clan Stone Lion discovery, swiftly winning a [[Trial of Possession]] for the right to found two colonies on the southern continent of Honor. The Trial was tightly fought using aerospace forces and won easily by the Cloud Cobras.<ref name="WoRp154"/> A series of massive earthquakes devastated Honor in March 3083, destroying the bulk of the enclaves there and leading to an evacuation effort that managed to rescue less than fifteen thousand people. A month later, contingents from [[Clan Coyote]] and Clan Stone Lion arrived in the Colleen system, intent on launching Trials of Possession for a range of enclaves on Haven. By the time both Clans had announced their Trials, virtually every enclave on Haven had been bid for; Clan Blood Spirit opposed the Trials with the bulk of their surviving ''touman'', facing the Stone Lions' [[Psi Galaxy (Clan Stone Lion)|Psi Galaxy]] and the Coyotes [[Nu Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Nu Galaxy]]. The Blood Spirit ''touman'' amounted to just three understrength Galaxies: [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Alpha]], [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Iota]] and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Omega Galaxies]]. By June 3083 Khan Boques was dead and the Blood Spirits retained just two holdings in the Colleen system, defended by the battered remnants of Clan Blood Spirit.<ref name="WoRp154"/> Faced with resistance from civilians intentionally armed by the Blood Spirit leadership in their annexed holdings, the Coyotes and Stone Lions launched a Grand Council in the Homeworlds to present evidence of the behavior exhibited by the Blood Spirits, with the Coyotes calling for the Blood Spirits to be Abjured. This prompted [[Clan Star Adder]] to launch a call for a [[Trial of Annihilation]] against the Blood Spirits, but the Star Adders couldn't muster the support for this measure; instead, against the opposition of the Cloud Cobra Khan and saKhan, the Star Adders successfully called for and won a [[Trial of Absorption]] against the Blood Spirits.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Star Adders began by defeating the newly elected Blood Spirit saKhan, [[Lucas Campbell]], on Strana Mechty; the bulk of the Blood Spirit warriors stationed there died in combat, and the Star Adders chose to execute the surviving Blood Spirit population on the planet. Between the launch of the Trial of Absorption and the arrival of the Star Adder forces in the Colleen system in October [[3084]], the Blood Spirits managed to extract as many survivors as they could from Honor, including the remains of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Beta Galaxy]], and prepared for a last stand on Haven. While the Star Adders assembled a task force to take the Colleen system the Coyotes and the Stone Lions withdrew from the system, taking as much as they could with them from their captured holdings on Haven in the process.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Star Adder task force was escorted by the ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''-class battleship [[Sovereign Right|CSA ''Sovereign Right'']] and the ''[[Nightlord]]''-class battleship [[Absolute Truth|CSA ''Absolute Truth'']]. Leading a task force consisting of [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Gamma]], [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Epsilon]] and [[Xi Provisional Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Xi Galaxies]], the two battleships summarily crushed the two surviving Blood Spirit WarShips, the ''[[York (WarShip class)|York]]''-class destroyer [[Stooping Kite|CBS ''Stooping Kite'']] and the ''[[Carrack]]''-class transport [[Karianna Schmitt (Individual Carrack-class WarShip)|CBS ''Karianna Schmitt'']] at the system zenith jump point.<ref name="WoRp154"/> After the Star Adder ground forces had similarly crushed all of the opposition on Haven and looted as much ''[[isorla]]'' as could be transported off the planet by the end of November, the ''Absolute Truth'' began a two-to-three-week campaign of orbital bombardment that targeted every holding and enclave on both inhabited worlds. The ''Absolute Truth'' then left the ''Sovereign Right'' in the system for several months to continue destroying any Blood Spirit survivors discovered. The ''Sovereign Right'' kept a watchful eye on the system for some time afterwards, destroying a small number of DropShips that attempted to escape from the system in January [[3085]], a month after the catastrophic bombardment. By July 3085 no signs of life could be detected on Honor and only minimal signs of life on Haven.<ref name="WoRp154"/> == Political Affiliation == * [[3067]] - [[Clan Blood Spirit]]<ref name="WoRp226">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 226: "Political balance Table, 3067"</ref> * [[3075]] - Clan Blood Spirit<ref name="WoRp248">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 248: "Political balance Table, 3075"</ref> * [[3076]] - Clan Blood Spirit<ref name="WoRp154"/> * [[3082]] - Clan Blood Spirit<ref name="WoRp154"/> / [[Clan Cloud Cobra]]<ref name="WoRp154"/> * [[3083]] - Clan Blood Spirit<ref name="WoRp154"/> / Clan Cloud Cobra (until March)<ref name="WoRp154"/> / [[Clan Coyote]] (from April/May)<ref name="WoRp154"/>/ [[Clan Stone Lion]] (from April/May)<ref name="WoRp154"/> * [[3084]] - Clan Blood Spirit<ref name="WoRp154"/> / [[Clan Star Adder]] (from October)<ref name="WoRp154"/> * [[3085]] - Uninhabited/minimally inhabited<ref name="WoRp154"/> ==Colleen II (Haven)== {{InfoBoxPlanet | image = | caption = | imagewidth = | name = Haven | othernames = Colleen II | position = Second<ref name=WoRp233/> | distance = 6.57 days<ref name=WoRp233/> | moons = 1<ref name=WoRp233/> | gravity = 1.2<ref name=WoRp233/> | pressure = Standard (Breathable)<ref name=WoRp233/> | temperature = 30°C<ref name=WoRp233/> | water = 30%<ref name=WoRp233/> | life = | continents = | colonized = [[3067]]<ref name=WoRp14/> | demonym = | language = | religion = | population = Minimal/None (3085)<ref name=WoRp154/> | ruler = | political = | commander = | capital = Glasgow<ref name=WoRp154/> | hpg = | hpgrep = }} '''Colleen II''', more commonly known as '''Haven''', was the first world in the Colleen system to be settled by Clan Blood Spirit.<ref name="WoRp14"/> ===Planetary History=== Following the initial colonization of Haven in 3067 Clan Blood Spirit continued to deploy resources and personnel to the planet in an effort to accelerate the colonization efforts.<ref name="WoRp14"/> In 3070 the Clan leadership relocated the Clan's sole remaining genetic repository to Haven from York.<ref name="WoRp154"/> Clan Coyote and Clan Stone Lion successfully Trialed for a series of enclaves and other possessions on Haven in April and May 3083, reducing the Blood Spirit presence to just two enclaves guarded by the remains of Alpha Galaxy. The Coyotes and Stone Lions had both taken losses, with the Stone Lions' Psi Galaxy being reduced to two battered [[Cluster]]s and the Coyotes' Nu Galaxy reduced to tattered remnants, but both Galaxies were too strong for the Blood Spirits' Alpha Galaxy to defeat. The Coyotes had seized Glasgow, which had been the Blood Spirit capital city, as well as three [[BattleMech]] factories the Blood Spirits had constructed. The Stone Lions had captured a number of enclaves dedicated to mining and agriculture, along with two [[ProtoMech]] factories near Lovell and the ProtoMech warrior Phenotype developed by the Blood Spirits.<ref name="WoRp154"/> Increasingly desperate, Khan Schmitt armed the civilian population in the Blood Spirit enclaves and launched a counterattack against the Coyotes in August 3083. The Coyotes and Stone Lions had both been faced with constant resistance from the Blood Spirit population in their conquered holdings, as the local population refused to assimilate; having armed almost a Cluster of infantry from the lower castes, Schmitt infiltrated troops into Glasgow by night and attacked the Coyotes, driving them back into the warrior quarter. Khan Koga of the Coyotes was incensed by the un-Clanlike behavior displayed by the Blood Spirits, and declared that every Blood Spirit who held a weapon was ''[[dezgra]]''. The Coyotes launched a bloody assault outwards from the warrior quarter, cutting down anyone who opposed them; the Blood Spirit [[Red Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|Red Guards]] arrived to reinforce the civilian infantry, but the Coyotes successfully pushed their way out of Glasgow and into the nearby ''[[Crimson Langur]]'' factory.<ref name="WoRp154"/> Having successfully redeployed to the factory, Khan Koga contacted [[Loremaster]] [[Jackie Ravenwater]], the commander of the Stone Lion forces on Haven, and discussed the situation at Glasgow. Both Clans were in agreement that the Blood Spirits were undeserving of any respect; while the Stone Lions had been facing fewer problems integrating the population at Lovell, they announced that the population had to stand down or suffer the consequences. A number of groups of civilians in Lovell refused, and responded to the declaration by firebombing the warrior quarter; the Stone Lions responded to this act of aggression by executing any civilian found with a weapon, although the number of armed civilians in Lovell was approximately a tenth of that in Glasgow. Despite the executions the situation in both Clans' holdings continued to degenerate, and Khan Koga called for a Grand Council to address the situation.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The end result of the Grand Council was a Trial for Absorption against the Blood Spirits by Clan Star Adder. Relocating as many survivors from Honor to Haven as possible and continuing to arm civilians gave the Blood Spirits a total strength of some eight Clusters on Haven when the Star Adders arrived in October 3084, although five of those Clusters were armed civilians rather than warriors.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Blood Spirits attacked the three Galaxies being dropped onto Haven by the ''Absolute Truth'' and the ''Sovereign Right'' with everything they could get into the air to fight, but the results were minimal, and the Star Adders' Gamma and Epsilon Galaxies made groundfall approximately ten kilometers from Glasgow while Xi Galaxy moved towards Lovell. The first ground attack came as the [[42nd Adder Cavaliers (Clan Star Adder)|Forty-second Adder Cavaliers]] and the [[212th Battle (Clan Star Adder)|212th Battle Cluster]] were crossing the Sidhe River; a force of armed civilians mustering almost four Clusters ambushed the two Star Adder Clusters, inflicting enough damage on the Forty-second to force it to withdraw, but not enough damage to prevent the Star Adder troops pushing through the ambush. As the 212th continued towards Glasgow the retreating Forty-second was strafed by a pair of ''[[Broadsword]]''-class Blood Spirit DropShips; the surviving warriors of the Forty-second manage to throw up enough fire to cause one of the two ''Broadswords'' to crash, but the crew of the critically damaged DropShip steered it into a crash on top of a number of 'Mechs from the Forty-second, destroying three more.<ref name="WoRp154"/> SaKhan [[Wyatt Talasko]] was leading Gamma and Epsilon Galaxies in the attack on Glasgow, and he responded to the reports of the ambush and subsequent strafing attack launched by the Blood Spirits by pushing both Galaxies forward into a direct engagement with Khan Schmitt's defending forces, which were deployed in a line of battle five kilometers long. The Star Adder attack killed Khan Schmitt, weakening the defensive line, and Talasko took advantage of this weakness, leading the [[3rd Assault (Clan Star Adder)|Third Assault Cluster]] directly into Glasgow, with the Star Adder forces gunning down any living person they saw. Within an hour the Blood Spirit defensive line had collapsed, but none of the Blood Spirit warriors requested ''hegira'' or attempted to surrender, and by the time night fell Alpha Galaxy had been destroyed and most of Glasgow was on fire.<ref name="WoRp154"/> As Glasgow burned, Xi Galaxy — led by the Star Adder Loremaster, [[Fletcher Daniels]] — traveled nonstop, pushing into Lovell in the face of resistance from the remaining Blood Spirit Clusters of armed civilians. The first Star Adder casualty was Daniels, who was lost along with his command [[Star]] when a building next to his ''[[Hellfire]]'' exploded, burying them in rubble. The [[522nd Adder Sentinels (Clan Star Adder)|522nd Adder Sentinels]] responded by immediately firing on the buildings around them, dropping several and igniting several fuel lines transporting natural gas. The explosions from the gas lines set off a number of mines that had been laid in the surrounding area and brought the last of the Blood Spirit armed civilians flooding into the area.<ref name="WoRp154"/> Xi Galaxy turned the battle for Lovell into an extended execution, spending the next forty-eight hours destroying buildings and gunning down any living target. The nearby factories were purged by Stars of [[Elemental]]s, and the Star Adders began systematically loading as much ''[[isorla]]'' gathered form the factories and warehouses on the planet as they could, using as many of the surviving Blood Spirit DropShips as they could.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Star Adders had finished looting Haven by the end of November, at which point saKhan Talasko withdrew his forces to their landing zone and deployed the ''Absolute Truth'' in a campaign of saturation orbital bombardment, targeting key infrastructure locations at the various Blood Spirit enclaves across the world; each attempt at resistance on the part of the surviving Blood Spirits was put down swiftly. Every Blood Spirit enclave and holding on the planet had either been crippled, destroyed or was on fire by mid-December, and the Blood Spirit military presence on the planet had been completely eradicated, at which point the Star Adders withdrew from Haven.<ref name="WoRp154"/> A small number of DropShips attempted to escape from either Haven or Honor in January [[3085]], but were destroyed by the ''Sovereign Right'', which had remained in the system to patrol for any sign of life; by July 3085, Haven was showing just a few, minimal signs of life. Although the Star Adders stopped patrolling the system constantly, they continued to visit the system on an irregular basis, and in October 3085 the Star Adders managed a final act of contempt towards the Blood Spirits by destroying the side of Mount Schmitt near Glasgow, burying the Blood Spirit genetic repository under hundreds of thousands of tons of rock and ice, forever destroying their legacy.<ref name="WoRp154"/> ===Military Deployment=== ====3083==== * Clan Blood Spirit :* Alpha Galaxy<ref name="WoRp154"/> :* Iota Galaxy (destroyed April/May 3083)<ref name="WoRp154"/> :* Omega Galaxy (destroyed April/May 3083)<ref name="WoRp154"/> * Clan Coyote :* Nu Galaxy (from April/May)<ref name="WoRp154"/> * Clan Stone Lion :* Psi Galaxy (from April/May)<ref name="WoRp154"/> ====3084==== * Clan Blood Spirit :* Alpha/Beta Galaxies (3 Clusters)<ref name="WoRp154"/> :* Armed civilian infantry (5 Clusters)<ref name="WoRp154"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Geography=== --> ===Planetary Locations=== * Glasgow: the planetary capital city.<ref name="WoRp154"/> * Lovell: a notable city.<ref name="WoRp154"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Companies and Industries=== --> ==Colleen IV (Honor)== {{InfoBoxPlanet | image = | caption = | imagewidth = | name = Honor | othernames = | position = Fourth<ref name="WoRp234"/> | distance = 6.57 days<ref name="WoRp233"/> | moons = 1<ref name="WoRp233"/> | gravity = 1.2<ref name="WoRp233"/> | pressure = Standard (Breathable)<ref name="WoRp233"/> | temperature = 18°C<ref name="WoRp233"/> | water = 20%<ref name="WoRp233"/> | life = | continents = | colonized = [[3068]]<ref name=WoRp14/> | demonym = | language = | religion = | population = None (3085)<ref name=WoRp154/> | ruler = | political = | commander = | capital = | hpg = | hpgrep = }} Colleen IV — more commonly known simply as Honor — was the second planet in the Colleen system to be settled by Clan Blood Spirit. ===Planetary History=== Clan Blood Spirit began colonization efforts on Honor in earnest in 3068, and in 3076 the bulk of the Clan retreated from the Clan Homeworlds to the Colleen system, spreading across both Haven and Honor. The Blood Spirits were the sole colonists on Honor until 3083, when the discovery of the Colleen system by Clan Stone Lion led to Clan Cloud Cobra launching a Trial of Possession for the right to build two enclaves on Honor in 3082. By [[3083]] the two holdings were bustling colonies, both focused on strip-mining ore from nearby mountains. The Cloud Cobras also began the construction of a large [[OmniFighter]] factory at one of their enclaves when, on the 19th of March 3083, the planet was devastated by several huge earthquakes.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The earthquakes were immense in scale, rippling through the highlands of Baruna; each measured 9.0 or higher on the Clan scientific scales. The mountain range was the largest mountain range in Clan space, stretching almost three-quarters around the north-south circumference of Honor, and heavily volcanic even before the earthquakes; when the earthquakes struck, every volcano in the chain began erupting. Every enclave on the planet suffered major damage, and tidal waves rolled inland for miles, wiping out both of the Cloud Cobra enclaves and the city of Osterling, the largest Blood Spirit city on the planet.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Blood Spirits reacted as quickly as they could to try and evacuate people from Honor, but the Clan's efforts were hampered by a lack of [[DropShip]]s and by the position of the two planets, which were at almost opposing positions around the system primary at the time. The destruction on Honor was catastrophic for the Blood Spirits, and less than fifteen thousand people were successfully evacuated from the planet.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Star Adders targeted Honor after completing their campaign on Haven in mid-December 3084; from positions in orbit the Star Adder WarShips (the CSA '''''Absolute Truth''''') repeated the same bombardment campaign used on Haven, targeting the few remaining Blood Spirit holdings on the planet hat had survived the constant volcanic eruptions and the various seismic aftershocks. The last Blood Spirit surviving military unit, the [[17th Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|Seventeenth Crimson Guards]], were destroyed via orbital bombardment.<ref name="WoRp154"/> The Star Adders continued to actively patrol the Colleen system for a number of months as they had stationed the CSA '''Sovereign Right''', destroying several DropShips that attempted to escape the system in January [[3085]], and by July there were no signs of life anywhere on Honor.<ref name="WoRp154"/> ===Military Deployment=== ====3076==== * Beta Galaxy<ref name="WoRp154"/> ===Geography=== Honor had at least two continents, a main continent named Baruna and a smaller southern continent.<ref name="WoRp154"/> ===Planetary Locations=== * Osterling: the largest Clan Blood Spirit city on the planet.<ref name="WoRp154"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Companies and Industries=== --> ==Notes== * According to the "The Wars of Reaving" sourcebook entry for Haven (Colleen) (p. 233), the Colleen system has both a G7V star and a recharge time of 187 hours.
