Planetary History

Pre-Clan Invasion

It is not known when the planet had been settled, but is was of course prior to the Clan Invasion. The planet, as most periphery planets was not very populated. It hosted a small Buddhist Monastery, and from time to time, Inner Sphere citizens came to this planet.

Clan Invasion

During the Clan Invasion, the Jade Falcons arrived to the planet and landed elements of Gyrfalcon Galaxy to provide a show of force to the population with 'Mech and Elemental parades in every village.

A Light Star sent to a small Buddhist monastery was surprised by the monks actions, which indeed shown no fear to them. They decided to first destroy the temple, and when this did not cause any action, they resorted to torture, inflicting it on the monastery's abbot. With that action they did get a response. Among the monks there was Sarah "Cat" Kattrin who had been a Chu-sa in the DCMS Sword of Light Regiments and honored instructor. Though 59 at that time, she challenged to personal combat the Star's Commander.

The fight was short and brutal. Star Commander Briggan in his Uller-A and Sarah Kattrin in his Phoenix Hawk Self-Deception (awarded by a grateful Combine). Although out of practice, Kattrin was able to stand his enemies attacks though his 'Mech was damaged every time. Finally, with no weapons, he tried a Death from Above attach which failed ending with her legs useless. Briggar shot her mech till he destroyed the Phoenix Hawk's cockpit.
