Planetary History[edit]

Albion was colonized before the beginning of Operation: KLONDIKE in 2821.[12] Several Clans had early colonies on Albion, including Clan Blood Spirit. As internecine Clan combat began in earnest, especially following the Trial of Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan and leading to the death of Nicholas Kerensky, Clan Blood Spirit became targeted beyond its ability to endure. The Blood Spirits lost their Albion possessions before 2835.[13]

In 2912, Clan Coyote's Omicron Galaxy, under Galaxy Commander David Christofferson, would win a great victory against Clan Smoke Jaguar's enclave on Albion after the Jaguar citizens revolted against the warrior caste on many of their worlds.[14][4]

Local Flora and Fauna[edit]

Military Deployment[edit]

Companies and Industries[edit]

Notes[edit]

  • According to a blog posting by author Blaine Lee Pardoe, back when he created the first map of Clan space (for the 1991 Wolf Clan Sourcebook) he named the Albion system after a small town in Michigan.
  • The first printing of Field Manual: Updates listed Albion as being 100% controlled by Clan Snow Raven.[19] This proved to be erroneous, now listed on canon BattleTech website as planet being complete control of Clan Star Adder.[20]
