The team, that had been investigating the location of the [[Graus Memory Core]], was searched also by the Clan Watch on Graus. They succeeded in rescuing all the investigation team and also the memory core and escaped back to the [[Federated Commonwealth]]. Unknown to the investigation team, they copied the [[Memory Core]] and intended to sell it in the marked, most probably to [[Chandrasekhar Kurita]].<ref name=SA>''Shadow Angels''</ref> |
| − | + | In the aftermath of the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] Graus became the site of a fierce battle between forces from the Jade Falcons and [[Clan Steel Viper]]. Defending Graus at the time were two [[cluster]]s from the Falcons' [[Vau Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Vau Galaxy]], the Fourth Falcon Velites and the [[89th Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighty-ninth Striker Cluster]]. Timed to join with their assault on the nearby world of [[Antares]], the Steel Vipers deployed two clusters from their [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]], the [[4th Viper Guards (Clan Steel Viper)|Fourth Viper Guards]] and [[400th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|400th Assault Cluster]], to attack Graus. The Steel Viper interest in Graus focused on the rumors of a [[Star League]] memory core located on Graus, but were unable to coordinate their attack closely with the attack on Antares, which went off half an hour ahead of the Alpha Galaxy forces arriving above Graus. The warning sent from Antares gave the defending Jade Falcon forces time to prepare a defense, leading to three days and nights of intense battles, with the heaviest fighting occurring around the Garros Spaceport and the planetary capital, New Paris. The Falcons decided to abandon Graus, but by the time that decision had been made, both sides had taken significant losses.<ref name="ICp90"/> | |
| − | + | The Clan caste system fit well with the neo-communal system employed by the Grausians. When the world was liberated by Lyran forces the transition in cultural mores was difficult, but the Grausians’ native pacifism made the transition easier.<ref name=HB:HSp86/> The Lyran government wisely didn't pressure the Grausians, leaving them to realize the benefits of being part of the Commonwealth on their own. However, Graus was recaptured by the Jade Falcons on the 7th of October [[3068]].<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> | |

Graus I, more commonly known simply as Graus, is the innermost world in the Graus system and while it lacks any moons, the planet has a notable dust ring.[1]
Planetary History
Early History
Graus was settled by a mix of French, Spanish, and German settlers. Soon after it was settled it developed a strong economy based on agriculture, holovids, and luxury civilian goods.[1]
Star League
The Star League Defense Force II Corps assisted the inhabitants of the New Crete region on Graus when an unexpected blizzard hit the area.[38]
Succession Wars
In the late 2980s a strong back to nature movement was founded on the world. A response to the wholesale destruction of the Succession Wars, this movement became very popular and eventually gained power in 3007. The newly elected pacifist government banned all heavy military forces from the world. This left a planetwide police force as the only military group available.[1]
Clan Invasion
One unexpected result of this lack of military forces was the way Clan Jade Falcon ignored the world.[1] Unlike other worlds that were heavily defended, Graus didn't suffer from the arrival of the Falcons. With no resistance, the Falcons simply garrisoned the world and integrated the world into their occupation zone,[1] after the Fourth Falcon Velites had landed to confirm that the planetary government wasn't deceiving them when it declared there were no forces defending their planet.[19]
In 3052 the mercenary unit Shadow Angels, under contract by IE and Philip (Victoria Kingsolver's fiancé) entered the planet in order to rescue her and her team, stranded on Graus. The team, that had been investigating the location of the Graus Memory Core, was searched also by the Clan Watch on Graus. They succeeded in rescuing all the investigation team and also the memory core and escaped back to the Federated Commonwealth. Unknown to the investigation team, they copied the Memory Core and intended to sell it in the marked, most probably to Chandrasekhar Kurita.[39]
In the aftermath of the Battle of Tukayyid Graus became the site of a fierce battle between forces from the Jade Falcons and Clan Steel Viper. Defending Graus at the time were two clusters from the Falcons' Vau Galaxy, the Fourth Falcon Velites and the Eighty-ninth Striker Cluster. Timed to join with their assault on the nearby world of Antares, the Steel Vipers deployed two clusters from their Alpha Galaxy, the Fourth Viper Guards and 400th Assault Cluster, to attack Graus. The Steel Viper interest in Graus focused on the rumors of a Star League memory core located on Graus, but were unable to coordinate their attack closely with the attack on Antares, which went off half an hour ahead of the Alpha Galaxy forces arriving above Graus. The warning sent from Antares gave the defending Jade Falcon forces time to prepare a defense, leading to three days and nights of intense battles, with the heaviest fighting occurring around the Garros Spaceport and the planetary capital, New Paris. The Falcons decided to abandon Graus, but by the time that decision had been made, both sides had taken significant losses.[22]
The Clan caste system fit well with the neo-communal system employed by the Grausians. When the world was liberated by Lyran forces the transition in cultural mores was difficult, but the Grausians’ native pacifism made the transition easier.[1] The Lyran government wisely didn't pressure the Grausians, leaving them to realize the benefits of being part of the Commonwealth on their own. However, Graus was recaptured by the Jade Falcons on the 7th of October 3068.[27]

Planetary Locations
- Garros Spaceport: a planetary spaceport and site of a notable battle between Clans Jade Falcon and Steel Viper in the aftermath of Operation REVIVAL.[22]
- New Crete: a normally tropical region, but sometimes can be hit with blizzards.[38]
- New Paris: the planetary capital city[1] and site of a notable battle between Clans Jade Falcon and Steel Viper in the aftermath of Operation REVIVAL.[22]
- New Paris Spaceport:[33]
Industrial Centers
Local Flora and Fauna
Notes
- Chapter 14 of the novel A Rending of Falcons features a scene where a JumpShip emerges at a Lagrange point near the planet's second moon. This plot point contradicts information found in Handbook: House Steiner stating Graus I has no moons but a dust ring instead.[47][1]
