As a world within the Capellan Hegemony, Bell was subject to heavy attacks from hired Kluanian pirates in [[2305]]. Hired by the [[Sarna Supremacy]], the pirates inflicted heavy damage on a number of Capellan border worlds, forcing the Hegemony to constantly redeploy troops to defend its worlds rather than continuing to stage attacks on [[Sarna]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p15++"/>

This article is about the Federated Suns planetary system. For the Outworlds Alliance system, see Bell (OA).

Spectral classA8V[1]

The Bell system was the location of at least one habitable world, Bell X, and as of 3145 was located in the Kathil Operational Area of the Capellan March within the Federated Suns.[2][3]

System Description

Bell is located close to the Foot Fall and Highspire systems[2][3] and consisted of a class A8V primary orbited by at least ten planets.[1]

System History

The Bell system was colonized during the First Exodus from Terra and by the early twenty-fourth century was a member of the Capellan Hegemony.[4]

Bell X, more commonly known simply as Bell, is the tenth planet in the Bell system and has three moons named Dhammazedi, Mingun, and Rovereto. Bell has been contested repeatedly during its history as an inhabited world and has been home to significant defense manufacturing facilities.[1]

Planetary History

Early History

As a world within the Capellan Hegemony, Bell was subject to heavy attacks from hired Kluanian pirates in 2305. Hired by the Sarna Supremacy, the pirates inflicted heavy damage on a number of Capellan border worlds, forcing the Hegemony to constantly redeploy troops to defend its worlds rather than continuing to stage attacks on Sarna.[4]

At some point after the end of the war, Bell became a member of the Chesterton Trade Federation; Bell then changed hands again later during the absorption of the Trade Federation by the Sarna Supremacy.[5] In 2357, a large force from the Federated Peacekeeping Forces landed on Bell and claimed it in the name of the Federated Suns, with Prime Minister Reynard Davion also demanding that the Supremacy cede the worlds of Chesterton and Highspire to the Federated Suns.[5] The Supremacy had no choice but to comply;[5] the Sarna garrison had been easily overrun, and the use of atomic weapons had been threatened to enforce the Federated Suns claim to the three worlds.[6] A combined relief force from the Capellan Commonality, Sarna Supremacy and Tikonov Grand Union arrived at Bell in 2358 to recapture the world,[6] only to discover that the entire civilian population had disappeared.[6][40]
