Planetary History[edit]
Early Years[edit]
Albion was colonized before the beginning of Operation: KLONDIKE in 2821.[12] Several Clans had early colonies on Albion, including Clan Blood Spirit. As internecine Clan combat began in earnest, especially following the Trial of Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan and leading to the death of Nicholas Kerensky, Clan Blood Spirit became targeted beyond its ability to endure. The Blood Spirits lost their Albion possessions before 2835.[13]
In 2912, Clan Coyote's Omicron Galaxy, under Galaxy Commander David Christofferson, would win a great victory against Clan Smoke Jaguar's enclave on Albion after the Jaguar citizens revolted against the warrior caste on many of their worlds.[14][4]
Burrock Absorption[edit]
In 3059, Albion was one of the many worlds where the three-way conflict between Clan Star Adder, Clan Burrock and Clan Blood Spirit occurred during the Burrock Absorption.[15]

Notes[edit]
- According to a blog posting by author Blaine Lee Pardoe, back when he created the first map of Clan space (for the 1991 Wolf Clan Sourcebook) he named the Albion system after a small town in Michigan.
- The first printing of Field Manual: Updates listed Albion as being 100% controlled by Clan Snow Raven.[21] This proved to be erroneous, now listed on canon BattleTech website as planet being complete control of Clan Star Adder.[22]
