===Planetary History===
A rarity among the Clan Homeworlds, the lower castes of Paxon celebrate a holiday based on a natural phenomenon. The [[Star Festival]] occurs on Paxon every 6,407 days. The festival is a week long, and is held in anticipation of the flaring of the [[Theta Pyxidis]] binary star system lighting the night sky. The flaring of Theta Pyxidis is observable from some of Paxon's neighboring systems, but it is unclear if they celebrate the event.<ref name=WoK50>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 50</ref>

====Wars of Reaving====
In March [[3070]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] began targeting [[Clan Snow Raven]] possessions across the [[Clan Homeworlds]], ostensibly to remove the "taint of the [[Inner Sphere]]". Eager to find a distraction in order to evacuate the Clan Homeworlds in safety, [[Loremaster]] [[Klaus Harper]], working in concert with [[Clan Watch|Clan Snow Raven's Watch]] and [[Outworlds Alliance Intelligence]], discovered in May 3070 that [[Clan Diamond Shark]] had begun secretly trading prohibited Clan technology – [[Undine Battle Armor]] – with the [[Federated Suns]]. [[Khan]] [[Lynn McKenna]] promptly presented the Watch's findings to the Clan [[Grand Council]], a finding corroborated by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. However, all votes on an appropriate response beyond simply censuring the Diamond Sharks failed. Clan Snow Raven's machinations had worked, as Clans Steel Viper, [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adder]], and [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobra]] shifted their attention to the Sharks.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 48–51</ref>

Clan Star Adder immediately launched [[Trial of Possession|Trials of Possession]] for Diamond Shark holdings on [[Barcella]]. Clan Steel Viper targeted Diamond Shark holdings on [[Strato Domingo]], Paxon, and [[Babylon]], but were repelled after initial successes. Clan Steel Viper's difficulty in securing Clan Diamond Shark's possessions prompted the Vipers to unveil the newest addition to their fleet, the ''[[Leviathan Prime]]''-class battleship CSV ''[[Perigard Zalman (Individual Leviathan-class WarShip)|Perigard Zalman]]'' on 20 September 3070. While the ''Zalman'' initially engaged fleeing Clan Snow Raven assets,<ref name=TWORp51.Net/> the obvious escalation in Steel Viper aggression helped convince the Diamond Sharks to accelerate their evacuation, moving their population to temporary holdings outside the city of Thermopolis.<ref name=door/>

In late 3070, [[Clan Wolf]] traded its holdings on Paxon to [[Clan Coyote]]. Clan Coyote received the CWS ''[[Provider]]'', CWS ''[[Relentless Pursuit]]'', five [[Star]]s of [[aerospace fighter]]s, and the rest of Clan Wolf's [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworld]] Possessions in exchange for [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Omicron Galaxy]], ten ''[[Sibko|sibkos]]'' of Coyote Warriors from minor [[Bloodhouse]]s (mostly shared with Clan Wolf legacies), and five Stars of JumpShips.<ref name=WoR60/> For the next year, Clan Wolf holdings on Paxon were transferred to Clan Coyote, while all Clans on planet were beset by [[Bandit Caste]] rebels under the command of [[Commodus Van Houten]]. However, Clan Coyote's new colonies faced renewed, determined assaults shortly after Clan Wolf used the former Coyote Warriors in [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Omicron Galaxy]] to raid and steal the genetic legacies of [[Nicholas Kerensky]], [[Andery Kerensky]], and [[Jennifer Winson]] on 3 December [[3071]].<ref name=door/>

In response to Clan Wolf's audacious theft, Clans Star Adder, [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Goliath Scorpion]], [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirit]], and [[Clan Fire Mandrill|Fire Mandrill]] launched punitive Trials of Possession against Clan Coyote's former Wolf colonies of [[Hoard]], [[Glory (system)|Glory]], and Paxon. Assaulting Paxon, Clan Blood Spirit landed the [[Scarlet Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|Scarlet Guards]] on 20 December, immediately defeating half of the [[49th Battle (Clan Coyote)|Forty-ninth Battle Cluster]] in the Susquehanna River Valley. In an attempt to continue flanking the outmaneuvered Coyote forces, the Scarlet Guards trampled through the civilian evacuation encampment outside Thermopolis, killing over 600. This prompted Clan Diamond Shark to engage the Scarlet Guards with the [[83rd Combined Strike (Clan Diamond Shark)|Eighty-third Combined Strike Cluster]], leaving the evacuees undefended. [[Star Colonel]] [[Daniel Levien]] quickly realized his opportunity and seized the undefended Shark property.<ref name=door/>

With the Trial quickly becoming more complicated, the previously uninvolved Diamond Sharks withdrew to Thermopolis and armed all former Warriors among the city's lower castes, redeploying the stationed DropShips from evacuation to engaging the Blood Spirits. As the fighting between the Sharks and Spirits in the city intensified, the Coyotes continued their repair and rearmament efforts, until a [[Binary]] from the Sharks' Eighty-third slipped through the Coyote cordon and decimated the Forty-ninth's [[Command Star]]. In retaliation, the remnants of the Forty-ninth also entered Thermopolis. Facing forces from two Clans, Star Colonel [[Megan Clarke]] pulled the Eighty-third Combined Strike into the best defensive positions possible.<ref name=door/>

After two days, the Blood Spirit forces on Paxon were reduced to a Binary of ProtoMechs, giving the exhausted Diamond Sharks the opportunity to attempt an evacuation. The Sharks' lower caste members embarked as quickly as possible, then lifted off. Seeing two Stars of DropShips beginning to depart, Scarlet Guards Star Colonel [[Stok Campbell]] ordered Blood Spirit aerospace forces to intercept, believing the DropShips were laden with ''isorla''. Two vessels, the CDS ''[[Orson (Individual DropShip)|Orson]]'' and ''[[Uther]]'', were destroyed, killing 1,100 more civilians.<ref name=door/>

As the last of the Diamond Shark DropShips lifted off, Levien's Forty-ninth Battle finished off the last of Clan Diamond Shark's Eighty-third Combined Strike Cluster, then turned their guns on the retreating Scarlet Guard. The Scarlet Guard was reduced to a single Star of ProtoMechs. Levien then quietly ordered Clan Coyote's own evacuation, departing with a Star-and-a-half of OmniMechs and Elementals, leaving Paxon defenseless. Clan Coyote would abandon several more of its colonies in the coming years.<ref name=door/><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 148: "Feeding Frenzy"</ref>
