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 surname.
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 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.
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 aprupt and severe.
With only 9% of its surface are 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.
