The Falcon's chose to fight on the Glory Plains. However, the battle did not unfold as Pershaw had planned. A Clan Falcon [[Trinary]] of 'Mechs inbound on a DropShip, was attacked by Wolf [[aerospace fighter]]s and crashed down into the Blood Swamp region. − The Wolves' Sixteenth Battle Clusters' force nearly overcame the Falcon defenders, however a plan developed by [[Star Commander]] [[Aidan Pryde|Jorge]] allowed the Falcon forces to overcome the Wolves.<ref>''Bloodname'', chs. 8–20: History of Battle for Glory Station.</ref>+ ===Notable Landmarks=== + *Glory Station - This was originally a Clan Jade Falcon military outpost located on the planet.

It is which as noted for its powerful odors and dangerous landscape.

Late in that year, Clan Steel Viper's forces would mobilized against several Falcon colonies, in an attempt to dislodge Clan Jade Falcon from [[Clanspace]]. The Vipers' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] initially assaulted [[Ironhold]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Beta Galaxy]] hit [[Marshall]], and [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] took [[Eden]]. These three colonies were followed by assaults on [[Barcella]], Glory, [[Huntress]], and [[Tokasha]]. All of the [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] were hard fought, but Clan Steel Viper prevailed in each campaign. By January [[3070]], only [[Strana Mechty]] and [[Lum]] remained in Jade Falcon control.<ref name=strike/> − In May [[3071]], Clan's Wolf's control of their portion of the planet would soon be taken by various Clans. Notably, Steel Viper's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] attempt to take the rest of the planet would be blocked by Clan Coyote's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Delta Galaxy]], allowing the Wolves' [[12th Wolf Regulars (Clan Wolf)|Twelfth Wolf Regulars]] to withdraw from the planet.<ref name=WoR4767/>+ ==Planetary History Briefs== − While this left the Wolf enclave in Possession of Clan Coyote, the Coyotes would only control this enclave for less than a single year; Clan Wolf's actions on Strana Mechty would incite anger on all former Wolf holdings. After razing the Kerensky Blood Chapel in December [[3071]], Coyote's gifted enclaves would come under attack by the combined forces of [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] and [[Kindraa Mattila-Carrol (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Clan Fire Mandrill's Kindraa Mattila-Carrol]] in early [[3072]]. The Coyote's [[120th Strike (Clan Coyote)|120th Strike Cluster]] was crippled by losing its commander, [[Star Colonel]] [[Harm Tchernovkov]], was slain early in the fighting. The Scorpions and Mandrills would divide the Coyote's enclave at the end of the campaign, and take a large Coyote Scientist enclave intact<ref name=WoR82/><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 146: "Reconvening the Council"</ref>+ ===Golden Century=== + Glory was discovered and colonized during the [[Golden Century]] (and therefore presumably after the death of [[Nicholas Kerensky]]).

Whether the Jade Falcons abandoned Glory completely is questionable, considering their later interest in and possession of the colony.<ref name=FM:CCWolf/> − Clan Steel Viper would use the cover of the HPG-blackout to expand their holdings on Glory in [[3073]]. When a Scorpion task force, under the command of [[saKhan]] [[Kelton Myers]] and [[Loremaster]] [[Colin Yeh]], arrived in September 3073, they found the planet in Viper control, save for the city of '''Portage''', held by [[Khan]] [[Amanda Carrol]] and the last remnants of Kindraa Mattila-Carrol. The Scoprion task force, comprised of the remains of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Beta Galaxy]] and [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Gamma Galaxy]], [[Alpha Naval Reserve Star (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Alpha Naval Reserve Star]] (the CGS ''[[Atropos]]'', the CGS ''[[Auriga]]'', the CGS ''[[Bernlad]]'', the CGS ''[[Corona Borealis]]'', and the CGS ''[[Serket]]''), as well as a fleet of [[DropShip]]s and [[Aerospace Fighter|aerospace fighters]], was immediately opposed by a pair of Steel Viper [[WarShip]]s, the CSV ''[[Ophidian]]'' and the CSV ''[[Silver Snake]]'', accompanied by their own fleet of DropShips and fighters, upon entering orbit above the planet. When the Scorpions had reached long range in orbit of the planet, the Viper forces declared the Scorpions ''[[Dezgra|dezgra]]'' for their actions on [[Foster]], and without warning opened fire, destroying the ''Auriga''. Both fleets sortied, and the heavy fighting ended with the damaged ''Silver Snake'' limping beyond Glory's<ref>[https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,8778.msg1957667#msg1957667 Errata posted on the BattleTech Forums]</ref> largest moon with the remnant of the Steel Viper forces. In addition to the ''Auriga'', the Scorpions lost the ''Serket'' and the ''Corona Borealis'', while the Steel Vipers lost the ''Ophidian''.<ref name=gambit/>+ ===Early Thirty-First Century=== + In early decades of the century, half of Glory was controlled by Clan Jade Falcon.<ref>''Bloodname'' p. 11, Chapter 1 - Kael Pershaw makes note of half of Glory had recently joined Clan Jade Falcon.</ref> While not explicitly stated, Clan Wolf is likely to have maintained possession of at least part of the colony. − Once landed outside Portage, Clan Goliath Scorpion forces mustered with the remaining Mattila-Carrol forces, and devised a plan to take '''Ettiau''' and the nearby '''SLB-32 Brian Cache''' to resupply. On 30 September, Kindraa Mattila-Carrol began to engage the [[93rd Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|93rd Assault]], under the command of Star Colonel [[Anders Breen]]. Breen began to move his forces into clearer territory, in order to challenge and potentially destroy the weakened Kindraa. However, with his forces split, the Scorpion's elite [[3rd Cuirassiers (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|3rd Cuirassiers]], the personal unit of Loremaster Yeh, was able to bomb the garrison [[Trinary]], destroying their defensive positions and sowing disarray and confusion in the Steel Viper defenders. The [[10th Scorpion Dragoons (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|10th Scorpion Dragoons]] used the confusion to get behind the Viper positions and destroy the 93rd in a pincer movement. The defeat of the 93rd allowed the Scorpions and Mandrills access to the Brian Cache.<ref name=gambit/>+ ====Battle of Glory Station==== − + Prior to the Clan return to the Inner Sphere in the late 3040s, the planet's most noted battle was during a [[Trial of Possession]] between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon. Clan Wolf's [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|16th Battle]] [[Cluster]] bid then garrison commander, [[Star Colonel]] [[Kael Pershaw]] for the possession over his genetic legacy. The Falcon's chose to fight on the Glory Plains. However, the battle did not unfold as Pershaw had planned. A Clan Falcon [[Trinary]] of 'Mechs inbound on a DropShip, was attacked by Wolf [[aerospace fighter]]s and crashed down into the Blood Swamp region. − Unfortunately, SLB-32 had already been emptied by the Steel Vipers. With little gained from their success, Khan Carrol ordered the joint unit ahead to finish operation and take Ettiau. The order was immediately questioned by saKhan Myers, who argued the forces should take the time to fortify the cache and rearm with supplies brought in from Portage. The disagreement was not resolved quickly, and led to a Trial of Refusal in a [[Circle of Equals]]. Before the Trial could begin, the Vipers launched their counterattack. Led by the aerospace [[binary]] of the [[2nd Fang (Clan Steel Viper)|Second Fang]], the initial Mandrill and Scorpion defenses were sufficiently neutralized to allow the rest of the Second Fang to assault the two forces. saKhan Myers was wounded in the attack, while Khan Carrol was killed in the cockpit of her ''[[Crimson Langur]]'' by the aerospace binary. Without the cohesion of their Khan, the Mattila-Carrols fought a series of small-unit actions, but were defeated to the last. The Scorpion forces did better, rallying around their wounded commanding officer, and calling in orbital support from the ''Atropos'', allowing the Scorpions to repulse the [[38th Phalanx (Clan Steel Viper)|38th Phalanx]] and Second Fang's coordinated assault, find an opening, and retreat to their DropShips to fortify Portage.<ref name=gambit/> − − After the Steel Viper Annihilation, Clans Coyote and Goliath Scorpion would be left in possession of Glory.<ref name=WoR248/> − − In December [[3078]], a [[Trial of Possession]] between Clan Goliath Scorpion and [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] for a Scientist enclave on [[Hector (system)|Hector]] upended the balance of power within the surviving [[Clan Homeworlds]]. The battle was hard-fought, and ended with a Cobra victory after the accidental destruction of a nearby bridge, killing half of the Cobra combatants, allowed the Cobras to declare the Scorpions ''[[Dezgra|dezgra]]'' and break ''[[Zellbrigen|zellbrigen]]''. The Cobras found the scientists at the facility were attempting to harvest genes from former Inner Sphere MechWarriors (from the [[Eridani Light Horse]]) to modify the genomes of Scorpion Warriors. The [[Grand Council of the Clans]] voted the Scorpions should be [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] a few months later in [[3079]]. None of the remaining Clans could easily prosecute this war, with the exception of [[Clan Star Adder]]. The Adders would seize Clan Goliath Scorpion's holding on Glory as part of their strategy to destroy unwanted former Goliath Scorpion infrastructure and facilities, thereby starving any Scorpion enclaves still in Possession of the Scorpions and forcing the Scorpions to contest the Adders on their terms while the Clan evacuated what they could to [[Roche]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 157–161: "Escorpión Imperio"</ref> − − As of [[3085]], Clan Stone Lion's control of the planet grew to include most of Glory, while the Coyotes held onto a portion for themselves.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 248: Political Balance - Stones & Coyotes would be noted their portions of control of Glory.</ref> − ===Military Deployment===+ The Wolves' 16th Battle Clusters' force nearly overcame the Falcon defenders, however a plan developed by [[Star Commander]] [[Aidan Pryde|Jorge]] allowed the Falcon forces to overcome the Wolves.<ref>''Bloodname'' chapters 8-20 - History of Battle for Glory Station.</ref> − ====3040s==== − * [[Glory Station Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Glory Station Garrison Cluster]]<ref>''The Legend of the Jade Phoenix'', p. 45: Kael Pershaw announcing name his Cluster in bid to defend Glory Station.

| − | == | + | ==Planetary Description and Notable Landmarks== |
| − | + | '''Glory''' is a remote world located at the fringe of the [[Kerensky Cluster]] in [[Clan]] space. | |
| − | + | The planet is known for its low mountains, sparse and runty vegetation, and its breathable air.<ref>''Bloodname'' p. 11, Chapter 1 - Kael Pershaw reflects on Glory's noted features.</ref> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | ===Notable Landmarks=== | |
| + | *Glory Station - This was originally a Clan Jade Falcon military outpost located on the planet. It is located one hundred kilometers from the jungles, which are known as the Blood Swamp. Outside the enclave is Glory Plains, a large expanse of flatlands. | ||
| − | + | *The Blood Swamp - This is the planet's most notorious landmark, which is part of Glory's jungle region. It is which as noted for its powerful odors and dangerous landscape. Local legends on the planet tells the story of a demigod or demon known as Cadix which unleashed his odors into the swamp and dove into it, becoming the aroma itself.<ref>''Bloodname'' p. 71, Chapter 8 - Aidan Pryde, while leading rescue party to downed DropShip, noted the terrible odors getting into his 'Mech's cockpit.</ref> The swamp had a number of hidden quicksand pits and other pitfalls lurking in its misty interior. | |

| − | + | ==Planetary History Briefs== | |
| − | + | ===Golden Century=== | |
| + | Glory was discovered and colonized during the [[Golden Century]] (and therefore presumably after the death of [[Nicholas Kerensky]]). Both Clan Jade Falcon and Wolf "almost simultaneously" started colonies there. While the adaptive Wolves thrived on Glory, the Jade Falcons could not exploit the efforts of their lower castes, due to their rigid interpretations of Clan caste hierarchy. The Jade Falcons ultimately focused their efforts on "other directions". Whether the Jade Falcons abandoned Glory completely is questionable, considering their later interest in and possession of the colony.<ref name=FM:CCWolf/> | ||
| − | + | ===Early Thirty-First Century=== | |
| + | In early decades of the century, half of Glory was controlled by Clan Jade Falcon.<ref>''Bloodname'' p. 11, Chapter 1 - Kael Pershaw makes note of half of Glory had recently joined Clan Jade Falcon.</ref> While not explicitly stated, Clan Wolf is likely to have maintained possession of at least part of the colony. | ||
| − | + | ====Battle of Glory Station==== | |
| − | + | Prior to the Clan return to the Inner Sphere in the late 3040s, the planet's most noted battle was during a [[Trial of Possession]] between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon. Clan Wolf's [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|16th Battle]] [[Cluster]] bid then garrison commander, [[Star Colonel]] [[Kael Pershaw]] for the possession over his genetic legacy. The Falcon's chose to fight on the Glory Plains. However, the battle did not unfold as Pershaw had planned. A Clan Falcon [[Trinary]] of 'Mechs inbound on a DropShip, was attacked by Wolf [[aerospace fighter]]s and crashed down into the Blood Swamp region. | |

| − | ==== | + | ====The Wars of Reaving Era==== |
| − | + | Beginning in late [[3069]], Glory became subject of number of Trials of Possession by various Home Clans. Late in that year, Clan Steel Viper's forces would take Glory Station from the Jade Falcons. In May [[3071]], Clan's Wolf's control of their portion of the planet would soon be taken by various Clans. Notably, Steel Viper's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] attempt to take the rest of the planet would be blocked by Clan Coyote's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Delta Galaxy]] allowing the Wolves's [[12th Wolf Regulars (Clan Wolf)|12th Wolf Regulars]] to withdraw from the planet.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 47, 67 - Vipers arrive and conquer Jade Falcon enclave. A couple of years later, Wolves would retreat from the planet with aid of the Coyotes.</ref> Wolf enclaves would soon be controlled by the Coyotes, however this would only last for a single year. After razing the Kerensky Blood Chapel in early 3072, Coyote's gifted enclave would come under attack by the combined forces of [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] and [[Kindraa Mattila-Carrol (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Clan Fire Mandrill's Kindraa Mattila-Carrol]]. The Coyote's [[120th Strike (Clan Coyote)|120th Strike Cluster]] was crippled by losing its commander in the fighting, dividing the Coyote's enclave between the two Clans.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 82 - Glory attacked & conquered by the Fire Mandrill's 61st Firestorm Cluster and Goliath Scorpion's 14th Scorpion Grenadiers.</ref> | |
| − | + | Clan Fire Mandrill's holding came under fire by the Steel Vipers, seeing their Khan [[Amanda Carrol]] killed in September of [[3073]] along with rest of the Kindraa Matilla-Carrol.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 184 Amanda Carrol - Khan and her Kindraa lost on Glory.</ref> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | In [[3079]], the [[Clan Star Adder|Clan Star Adders]] would seize Clan Goliath Scorpion's holding on Glory due to their Abjuration from the [[Clan Homeworlds]]. The Adders moved key facilities from Clan Scorpion's enclaves to wither them away. The Scorpions quickly evacuated to [[Roche]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 158 Escorpión Imperio - Clan profile reveals loss of its Glory enclave to the Star Adders.</ref> | |

| − | + | As of [[3085]], Clan Stone Lion's control of the planet grew to include most of Glory, while the Coyotes held onto a portion for themselves.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 248 - Political Balance - Stones & Coyotes would be noted their portions of control of Glory.</ref> | |
