The world was slow to recover, and was subsequently ruled from offworld for over a century, first from [[Hesperus II]] and then from [[Tharkad]].<ref>''Tactics of Duty'', p. 49</ref> The settlers on Caledon cultivated their Scottish roots, including a heavy Scots burr, for centuries. [[Davis McCall]] was the estranged scion of a powerful family on Caledonia. By the mid-[[thirty-first century]] the capital city of New Edinburgh, which also featured a spaceport, was noted to have some 80-90,000 inhabitants.<ref>''Tactics of Duty'', p. 33</ref> ====3056 Uprising==== Around 3056, the [[Federated Commonwealth]]'s governor on Caledon, Nelson Wilmarth, became a catalyst for an uprising. An outsider not native to Caledonia and unpopular to begin with, he was opposed by the planet's strong Jacobites movement and a sect called the Word of Jihad, a splinter sect of the [[Unfinished Book]] movement. Wilmarth gradually replaced the planetary militia with foreigners who were loyal only to him and by 3056 took to extreme measures including deploying BattleMechs against civilian protesters, torturing prisoners to death, and literally putting bodies and severed heads on display on stakes. Things came to a head when [[Davis McCall]] and [[Alexander Carlyle]] of the [[Gray Death Legion]] visited Caledonia and confronted Wilmarth at his citadel over imprisoning McCall's brother. The situation deteriorated to the point where McCall and Carlyle had to fight their way out (freeing some prisoners in the process) on 1 April 3056. On the same night they attacked the citadel with help from local resistance groups to free many prisoners. The Gray Death Legion proper was called in from [[Glengarry]] to restore order. In truth, Wilmarth was manipulated by his military advisor [[Kellen Folker]], who was part of a group of conspirators centered on [[Field Marshal]] [[Brandal Gareth]]. The entire situation was engineered to put the Gray Death Legion into a no-win situation by pitting them against those rising against Wilmarth's cruel and unlawful rule. Major Folker tried to suborn the unit when they arrived on Caledonia and ordered Grayson Carlyle to send his 'Mechs against the people. When Carlyle refused, Folker had him arrested but Carlyle was freed by his security detail and the Gray Death Legion subsequently restored order by vanquishing Wilmarth's forces and elements of Gareth's [[Third Davion Guards]] in the field in a final battle on 16 April. Both Wilmarth and Folker escaped. ====The Jihad==== On the 30th of September [[3073]] the infamous [[Word of Blake]] unit the [[Fifty-second Shadow Division]] struck at Caledonia, destroying the defending [[Twenty-second Skye Rangers]].<ref name="JHS3076p34">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 34, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp52">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 52, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> ===Planetary Rulers=== === 3052 -3057 === * [[Governor]] [[Nelson Wilmarth]]<ref name=ToD29/> ===Military Deployment=== ====2765==== * [[Ninth Hesperus Guards]]<ref name=FR:2765LCAFp12>''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12, "Hesperus Guards" - Regimental Status</ref> ====2786==== * Ninth Hesperus Guards<ref name="FSWp139">''First Succession War (Source Book)'', p. 139, "First Succession War Deployment Table - LCAF"</ref> ====3057==== * [[Third Davion Guard]], (Two Battalions)<ref name=ToDc21>"Tactics of Duty", Ch. 21</ref> * [[Caledonia Home Guard]]<ref name=ToDc11>"Tactics of Duty", Ch. 11</ref> ====3145==== * [[Eighth Donegal Guards]]<ref name=FM:3145p133>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 133, "Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces - Donegal Province"</ref> ===Geography=== Caledonia (the world is also often referred to as "Caledon"<ref>''Tactics of Duty'', pp. 30, 36, 49, 52, 53, 54, 67, 117, 123, 139, 153, 160, 190, 202, 205, 212, 214, 221, 223, 250, 315</ref> which may be an expression for the planet as opposed to the system as a whole) has two moons, the "huge and silvery" Stirling and the "small and golden" Bannochburn.<ref name=ToD29/> The planet's local time is measured using the standard terran twenty-four hour clock, with an extra fifty-three minutes added after midnight.<ref name=ToD117/> Although this is not explicitly spelled out, the impression given for the planet is that of an earth-like, open-environment world with a breathable atmosphere and plentiful arable soil.<ref name=ToDenv/> ''[[CherryPicker]]'' AgroMechs are operated on Caledonia. ===Planetary Locations=== * Falkirk: town at the southern edge of the Grampian Mountains * Grampian Mountains * Mount Alba * New Edinburgh: the planetary capital city.<ref name=ToD29/> * Stirling: a city 1,000km north of New Edinburgh.<ref name=ToDc21/> * Tanglewood ===Industrial Centers=== * There is an AgroMech factory in New Edinburgh, possibly manufacturing the [[CherryPicker]]<ref name=ToDc14>''Tactics of Duty'', Ch. 14</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Image gallery=== --> == Map Gallery == <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" !
