Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Albion II is the second planet in the Albion system.[1]

Planetary History

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.[4][5]

Notes

  • 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.[9] This proved to be errant, now listed on canon BattleTech website as planet being complete control of Clan Star Adder. [10]
