Political Affiliation

The system of Trell is located coreward of Terra near the Periphery. Together with its barren planet of Trell I, it was for a long time a member of the Lyran Commonwealth. Now it belongs to the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.

Planetary History

Trell I was first colonized in 2616. The planet's official name is Trell I, for being the first (innermost) planet of the Trell system, but the natives have slurred the words together into the word "Trellwan". Inhabitants of Trellwan are called "Trellwanese", but are also casually referred to as "Trell". They have generally dropped the use of surnames.[1]

There are three main colonies on Trellwan. The most important is Sarghad, the capital, which serves as administrative and trade center and has the planet's only spaceport.[1]

Around 3025, a plot by Duke Hassid Ricol was orchestrated in an attempt to bring the world under the banner of the Draconis Combine. This plan was foiled by the newly created Gray Death Legion.

Clan Invasion

Victor Steiner-Davion was stationed here after his graduation from the Nagelring academy in 3049. The planet was an early target of Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival. This battle appears to have been the first clash between clan forces and troops of the Federated Commonwealth. The defenders believe the Falcons were only another group of pirates, and aren't ready for them. Not too much is known about the battle: in some moment, Victor Davion and Galen Cox were separated from their forces and fight and defeated a lone falcon Summoner in Thunder Rift. But they were later forced to return to their base, called by the general Hawksworth. They accomplished the order, and the general informed them than their regiment is in the brink of defeat, but Victor inform him of their recent almost-victory and suggest him to retreat the remaining forces to the area of Thunder Rift. The general accepted the suggestion, but forced Galen to evacuate Victor, and he does that... after knocking him unconscious. Later the defending forces start a guerrilla war between the ice mountains, managing to destroy at least a Summoner, but they were ultimately defeated and their unit destroyed.

In April 3053, the Fifty-first attacked Trell I with the intention of stopping Clan Jade Falcon raids that originated from there. On landing, the Fifty-first found no trace of their opponents, the Eighth PGC, and subsequently walked into an ambush. This triggered a four-day long battle that ended in a Steel Viper victory, but at the cost of serious casualties.[37]

In 3054[38] the cluster was stationed on Trell I along with the bulk of Gamma Galaxy and were still defending the planet in 3060.[21]

Having been reconquered by Clan Jade Falcon during the ejection of Clan Steel Viper from the Inner Sphere, Trell I was invaded again during the Jihad, when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071. Trell I was invaded by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Trell I and other worlds throughout July 3071.[25][26]

Geography

A planetary year is only 45 standard days, while a planetary day is 30.5 standard days due to the planet's slow rotation. As a result, vulcanism and earthquakes are common and the climatic changes are quite abrupt and severe.

With only 9% of its surface being covered by two small oceans along the equator, Trellwan is a rather dry world although it has a breathable atmosphere. The land masses are largely either vast desert plains or rugged mountain ranges.
