Autumn Wind
System Information
X:Y Coordinates-167.51:-87.42[e]

The Autumn Wind system is the location of at least one inhabited world and as at 3145 was located in the Wolf Empire.[1][2]

System Description

The Autumn Wind system lies close to the Gallatin and Szombathely systems.[3]

System History

The Autumn Wind system was settled during the First Exodus from Terra and by the end of the Age of War had been incorporated into the Free Worlds League.[4][5]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

The Jihad

The planet Autumn Wind was one of the targets of the Skye and Bolan Province invasion of the Free Worlds League in 3068. The invasion by the combined forces of the two Provinces, named Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN, saw Autumn Wind occupied along with the worlds of Gannett and Niihau by the 20th of May 3068.[20] As a part of the peace terms agreed between Marshall Jeremy Brett of the FWLM and Duke Alder Umayr of Bolan - and as a result of battlefield attrition - the Lyran Alliance withdrew its forces from Autumn Wind by the end of 3069.[21]

The Dark Age

During the invasion of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth and the establishment of the Wolf Empire by Clan Wolf Autumn Wind was one of the worlds invaded. The defending forces on Autumn Wind made very effective use of Xiphos Assault Battle Armor to frustrate the Clan Wolf forces and slow the invasion; the defenders transported the suits using Cavalry VTOLs, dropping the battle armor squads a few hundred meters behind the Wolf front lines. The Xiphos squads then inflicted havoc on the artillery units supporting the Wolf forces; as the Xiphos was equipped with Reactive Armor, the stereotypical Wolf response - to shell the Xiphos squads with those same artillery pieces - was largely ineffective.[28]
