Caledonia is a temperate, Earth-like world with two moons: the "huge and silvery" Stirling and the "small and golden" Bannochburn.<ref name=ToD29/> The world is also often referred to as "Caledon"<ref name=ToD/> which may be an expression for the planet as opposed to the system as a whole.

== Planetary History ==
 
Caledon suffered heavy damage when the [[Draconis Combine]] conquered the planet in a seven-years campaign from [[2841]] through [[2849]] (destroying the defending [[Fourth Royal Guards]] in the process) and effectively scorched the planet. The world was slow to recover, and was subsequently ruled from offworld for over a century, first from [[Hesperus II]] and then from [[Tharkad]].<ref>''Tactics of Duty'', p. 49</ref>

The settlers on Caledon cultivated their Scottish roots, including a heavy Scots burr, for centuries. [[Davis McCall]] was the estranged scion of a powerful family on Caledonia.

====3056 Uprising====
+
===3056 Uprising===
Around 3056, the [[Federated Commonwealth]]'s governor on Caledon, Nelson Wilmarth, became a catalyst for an uprising. An outsider not native to Caledonia and unpopular to begin with, he was opposed by the planet's strong Jacobites movement and a sect called the Word of Jihad, a splinter sect of the [[Unfinished Book]] movement. Wilmarth gradually replaced the planetary militia with foreigners who were loyal only to him and by 3056 took to extreme measures including deploying BattleMechs against civilian protesters, torturing prisoners to death, and literally putting bodies and severed heads on display on stakes. Things came to a head when [[Davis McCall]] and [[Alexander Carlyle]] of the [[Gray Death Legion]] visited Caledonia and confronted Wilmarth at his citadel over imprisoning McCall's brother. The situation deteriorated to the point where McCall and Carlyle had to fight their way out (freeing some prisoners in the process) on 1 April 3056. On the same night they attacked the citadel with help from local resistance groups to free many prisoners. The Gray Death Legion proper was called in from [[Glengarry]] to restore order.

In truth, Wilmarth was manipulated by his military advisor [[Kellen Folker]], who was part of a group of conspirators centered on [[Field Marshal]] [[Brandal Gareth]]. The entire situation was engineered to put the Gray Death Legion into a no-win situation by pitting them against those rising against Wilmarth's cruel and unlawful rule. Major Folker tried to suborn the unit when they arrived on Caledonia and ordered Grayson Carlyle to send his 'Mechs against the people. When Carlyle refused, Folker had him arrested but Carlyle was freed by his security detail and the Gray Death Legion subsequently restored order by vanquishing Wilmarth's forces and elements of Gareth's [[Third Davion Guards]] in the field in a final battle on 16 April. Both Wilmarth and Folker escaped.
