Brim IV
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Brim II - more commonly known simply as Brim has been held by - and contested by - several Clans at the same time for the majority of its history as a settled world.[1]
Planetary History
Scavenger Wars
In 3060, Clan Nova Cat's enclaves on Brim were attacked and taken over by Clan Cloud Cobra. The Nova Cats were in the process of being expulsed from Clan space due to results of the Great Refusal. The Nova Cat enclaves were taken by the Cobras, who wanted to get them before Coyotes did.[7]
The fall of Clan Smoke Jaguar led to several years of warfare dubbed the "Scavenger Wars" as the various Clans present in the Homeworlds fought over the Smoke Jaguar holdings; Brim was caught up in the conflict, and while the combat was on a smaller scale than that seen on the major Smoke Jaguar worlds of Hoard and [[Huntress], the battles over the Smoke Jaguar holdings on Brim were no less fierce. These battles were more destructive than had been the norm for previous Clan Trials of Possession; in a disturbing sign of things to come, the battles often raged not just over but through the sites being Trialled for, with many such prizes destroyed as a consequence. One example of this was an enclave Clan Diamond Shark had successfully seized containing a forging center producing Ferro-Fibrous Armor; a Trial being fought nearby by Clan Goliath Scorpion and the Snow Ravens ended up wiping out the Diamond Shark facility, prompting Star Commander Alan Hawker to exact revenge on those responsible.[8]
Clan Ice Hellion launched an attack against the Clan Cloud Cobra holdings on Brim in the 3060s, in retaliation for an attack on and subsequent capture or destruction of an Ice Hellion merchant convoy looking to trade in the Tanis system. The Ice Hellion attack failed, prompting another disastrous attack - this time against the Clan Star Adder holdings on Hoard - and the subsequent removal of Khan Asa Taney from power.[9]
Clan Coyote also attempted to obtain a foothold on Brim during the 3060s, only to be repulsed by the combined forces of the Cloud Cobras and Star Adders, who left the defeated Coyotes with little to show for their losses.[10]
The Wars of Reaving
In March 3069 Star Admiral Anta McKenna succesfully retaliated for the destruction of the Snow Raven orbital shipyard and fleet in the Lum system during a destructive Trial with Clan Goliath Scorpion. Admiral McKenna led the Brim Naval Assault Star to Roche and successfully won a trial for the four Goliath Scorpion WarShips there - the Lola III-class destroyer CGS Sagitta, the Congress-class frigate CGS Garlon and the Potemkin-class cruisers CGS Enceladus and CGS Prometheus. The Sagitta was left powerless as a result of damage taken during the Trial, and Admiral McKenna moved all four captured vessels to Brim for repair. The four were then pressed into service as the new Hellgate Battle Star.[11]
The Snow Raven's actions in the Galedon system in the Inner Sphere were reported to the Grand Council by Clan Diamond Shark and became the subject of a Grand Council meeting on the 2nd of March 3070. The shocking casualty figure caused by the Ravens led to calls for a Trial of Absorption against the Snow Ravens by Clan Steel Viper, an action that only failed to pass a vote due to a number of abstentions and a series of votes cast against the motion by Clan Star Adder and their supporters, who had also been looking to Absorb the Snow Ravens.[6]
The failure of the vote to pass led ilKhan Brett Andrews to call for a vote of no confidence in the Grand Council, which also failed; this in turn led to an agreement between the leaders of the Cloud Cobras, Star Adders and Steel Vipers to act together to punish the Snow Ravens for their departure from the Honor Road. The three allied Clans selected a number of Snow Raven enclaves on Bearclaw, Brim and Hellgate as targets for retaliation and bid amongst themselves for the right to attack the various enclaves. The Steel Vipers won the right to attack holdings across all three worlds, while the Star Adders won the right to attack holdings on Bearclaw and Circe while the Cloud Cobras won the right to attack enclaves on Brim and Hellgate.[6]
The Steel Vipers dispatched their Gamma Galaxy to Trial for Snow Raven holdings on the world, and Gamma proceeded to fight with honor and prestige, picking apart every Snow Raven unit that responded to the various calls to Trial. By May, the Steel Vipers had successfully managed to capture every Snow Raven enclave on Brim that they had bid for.[6]
In contrast with the Trials fought between the Snow Ravens and Steel Vipers on Brim, the Trials between the Snow Ravens and the Cloud Cobras were much heavier. The Cloud Cobra Beta Naval Reserve successfully fought its way into orbit above Brim and promptly declared three seperate Trials. The first two Trials were fought for a DropShip facility and a BattleMech factory; the third Trial was for the entire Crow bloodname legacy. Commanding the defending forces was Galaxy Commander Tristen Crow, who successfully defended both of the industrial facilities, but the battle for the Crow legacy proved to be much more brutal. The Snow Ravens resorted to calling in their last bid in a desperate attempt to retain the Bloodname legacy, but were unsuccessful, and the entire Crow legacy was lost to the Cloud Cobras.[6]
Worse still for the Snow Ravens, just as the Cloud Cobras were defeating the last Snow Raven reinforcements, two Naval Stars from Clan Star Adder arrived. The Star Adder forces had successfully defeated the Snow Ravens on Bearclaw, and followed up their victories by Trialling for and winning the same two industrial facilities that the Snow Ravens had just successfully defended from the Cloud Cobras. The Snow Raven forces had little chance of fighting off the fresh Star Adder forces, who not only defeated the Snow Ravens but also Trialled for and successfully claimed the one Clan Blood Spirit enclave on the planet. The Blood Spirits had held their enclave for less than a month, having received it as part of an arrangement with the Snow Ravens.[6]
