Planetary History

The planet was originally an exclusive Clan Hell's Horses colony. Around 3010 Clan Smoke Jaguar seized control over part of the world and retained their enclave until the Jaguars' annihilation in 3060 by the Second Star League Defense Force. During the Wars of Possession that followed Clan Hell's Horses once more claimed exclusive control over the planet.[3]

During the Wars of Reaving Kirin with its merchant and laborer caste inhabitants were traded to Clan Coyote after March 3070 as the Hell's Horses prepared for their invasion of Clan Wolf's Inner Sphere holdings.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

In the aftermath of the Wars of Reaving Kirin became the capital world of Clan Coyote as well as its exclusive holding, and with it the largest remaining naval shipyard in the Clan Homeworlds.[8] [10] By 3085 Clan Stone Lion had been gifted two former Hell's Horses enclaves on the planet, making it one of their primary support worlds.[9] [11] [12]
