Owner History

Kestrel is a heavily populated world in the coreward Crucis March of the Federated Suns. Furthermore it is the capital of the Kestrel Combat Region in the Markesan Operation Area.

Population Data[9]

Population

  • Population (3067): 6,788,690,200

Rulers

  • Noble Ruler (3067): Duke Xerxes Cunningham

Geography

Kestrel is a beautiful world with fertile plains and plentiful natural resources. The world's colonization and industrial expansion were planned wisely. Most of the heavy industry were shifted to Kestrel's two moons, which were terraformed into habitable worlds of their own. Most of the population lives in big cities, which contain a lot of skyscrapers, leaving enough space for vast fields, plains and forests. All this turns Kestrel into one of the Garden Worlds of the Federated Suns, whose food exports feed many worlds throughout the Crucis and Draconis Marches.[citation needed]

History

After the founding of the Federated Suns in 2317 the world of Kestrel was one of the first new members of the young state. The systems location deep in the Suns' territory let the world prosper and made the satisfied population and the ducal family staunch supporters of the Davions. That is one of the reasons why the people of Kestrel have consistently been among the top five worlds providing the most number of recruits to the AFFS[9].

During the Second Succession War Kestrel was one of many planets devastated by the Draconis Combine's search and destroy missions. [5]
