===Planetary History===

====Early History====
 
−
'''Saffel III''' is a cold world. When first discovered by humanity, the world had just entered an ice age. The first colonists landed on the northern continent, which they named Dovejin, and planned to mine the mineral resources that were locked away under the glaciers. Before they could do so, the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] occurred, and Saffel was left to its own devices. With no support from the core worlds near [[Terra]] and ill-equipped to deal with the arctic temperatures, many of the first wave of colonists died in Saffel's harsh winter. Those who survived did so by moving to the equatorial region, where it was (relatively) warmer. Able to scratch out a meager existence, the survivors began forming new smaller towns and cities.<ref name=DARWp40/>
 
  
−
After a century of isolation, a second wave of colonists arrived from the Terran Hegemony. This second wave of colonists landed and claimed the polar cities that had been abandoned by the first colonists. The newly arrived colonists found themselves at odds with the survivors of the first wave, who resented the "intrusion." Tensions ran so high that a small brushfire war broke out between the two groups before the Terran Hegemony could negotiate a truce. Eventually the two groups joined forces, and by the time of the [[Star League]], Saffel was a major exporter of valuable metals and one of the worlds that made up the [[Lone Star Province]] of the Hegemony. The other major draw to the world was the [[Saffel Medical Institute]]. The information and work done at this institute made Saffel an exporter of medical equipment as well.<ref name=DARWp40/><ref name="H:RWp159"/>

After the fall of the Star League, the Federated Suns took control of the world. The [[AFFS]] used Saffel as a staging area for an assault into the Draconis Combine. In April [[2787]] the Combine retaliated and tried to take the world, but the [[Sixth Benjamin Regulars]] soon discovered that the [[Twenty-first Rim Worlds Regiment]] - a former [[Rim Worlds Army]] and [[Amaris Empire Armed Forces]] regiment that had become a part of the [[Blue Star Irregulars]] mercenary unit - were active on Saffel. The Twenty-first was evidently attempting to secure a cache left behind by the Amaris Empire, and Warlord [[Jinjiro Kurita]] - son of the [[Coordinator]] had issued very specific instructions to his forces along the border with the Federated Suns and conducting operations inside the former [[Terran Hegemony]]; any encounters with the AFFS, mercenaries in AFFS employ or possible allies of the Federated Suns were to be met with the minimum necessary force, so as to preserve the illusion that the Combine was focused on operations against the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], while Jinjiro massed forces for an imminent invasion of the Federated Suns.<ref name="FSWp37"/>

'''Saffel''' is a cold world. When first discovered by humanity, the world had just entered an ice age. The first colonists landed on the northern continent, which they named Dovejin, and planned to mine the mineral resources that were locked away under the glaciers. Before they could do so, the [[Outer Reaches Rebellion]] occurred, and Saffel was left to its own devices. With no support from the core worlds near [[Terra]] and ill-equipped to deal with the arctic temperatures, many of the first wave of colonists died in Saffel's harsh winter. Those who survived did so by moving to the equatorial region, where it was (relatively) warmer. Able to scratch out a meager existence, the survivors began forming new smaller towns and cities.<ref name=DARWp37/>

The orders were galling to ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Shiro Knutesson]], as it meant that the Sixth had to deliberately lose to the mercenaries, a particularly bitter pill given that the Regulars regarded the mercenaries as honorless dregs from the fallen Republic, but Jinjiro's orders left no room for misinterpretation. Knutesson acted accordingly, ordering his forces to disperse across multiple settlements, to give ground easily and to feign weakness and incompetence. Reminders of the consequences of Jinjiro's presence kept his command in line, and after ten days the Regulars retreated from Saffel, just days ahead of the launch of the Combine invasion of the Federated Suns.<ref name="FSWp37"/>

After a century of isolation, a second wave of colonists arrived from the Terran Hegemony. This second wave of colonists landed and claimed the polar cities that had been abandoned by the first colonists. The newly arrived colonists found themselves at odds with the survivors of the first wave, who resented the "intrusion." Tensions ran so high that a small brushfire war broke out between the two groups before the Terran Hegemony could negotiate a truce. Eventually the two groups joined forces, and by the time of the [[Star League]], Saffel was a major exporter of valuable metals and one of the worlds that made up the [[Lone Star Province]] of the Hegemony. The other major draw to the world was the [[Saffel Medical Institute]]. The information and work done at this institute made Saffel an exporter of medical equipment as well.<ref name=DARWp37/><ref name="H:RWp159"/>

====War of 3039====
+
After the fall of the Star League, the Federated Suns took control of the world. The [[AFFS]] used Saffel as a staging area for an assault into the Draconis Combine. In [[2787]] the Combine retaliated and tried to take the world, but was unsuccessful. Over the centuries of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], Saffel was frequently used as a staging area and invasion corridor, but the Federated Suns usually kept control of the world. That changed in the [[War of 3039]], however, when the Draconis Combine finally seized the world.<ref name=DARWp37/>

Saffel was evidently liberated by the end of [[3077]] by allied coalition forces, as the administration of the HPG facility on Saffel had reverted to [[ComStar]] by the end of November. However, in early December a press notice was issued by ComStar to other nearby ComStar facilities indicating that the Saffel HPG had been taken offline due to unspecified local technical difficulties.<ref name="JHS:Tp34">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 34: "Saffel HPG Offline"</ref>
