History

Planet used as a mining world for both Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Snow Raven. After a time, these Clan's mines were depleted and York become a planet without strategical meaning. Eventually, Blood Spirits laid claim to rthe est of the planet by the Trial of Possession with the Falcons and the Snow Ravens. After gaining control of the planet, the Clan the moved the majority of its population to York to isolate itself from the rest of the Home based Clans. This changed a few years later, where the Spirits past dealings with their rivals from Clan Blood Spirit, revisited them in form of invasion of the planet. After humilating Spirits, the Star Adders was able to established a small enclave for themselves.[3] [4] During this period the Blood Spirits were slowly isolated, used as means for Star Adders train their personal. Merchants were blockaded from traveling to the world until late 3060s. During one these merchant visits to York, emissaries from Clan Diamond Shark uncovered a paritialy prototype Crimson Hawk. The commander of the emissaries fought and won a Trial of Possession for the 'Mech, its scientists and data in the Morgrave Swamplands.[5]
