Planetary History Briefs

In early decades of the century, the half of Glory had become in possession of Clan Jade Falcon.[12]

Battle of Glory Station

Prior to the Clan return to the Inner Sphere in the late 3040s, the planets most noted battle was during a Trial of Possession between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon. The Clan Wolf's 16th Battle Cluster bidded then garrison commander, Star Colonel Kael Pershaw for the possession over his genetic legacy. The Falcon's chose to fight on the Glory Plains. However, the battle did not unfold as Pershaw had planned. A Clan Wolf trinary of 'Mechs inbound on a DropShip, was attacked by Falcon's AerospaceFighters and crashed down into the Blood Swamp region.

The Wolves' 16th Battle Clusters' bidded force nearly overcame the Falcon defenders, however a plan developed by Star Commander Jorge allowed the Falcon forces to overcome the Wolves.[13]

The Wars of Reaving Era

Beginning in late 3069, Glory became subject of number of Trials of Possession by various Home Clans. Late in that year, Clan Steel Viper's forces would take Glory Station from Jade Falcons. In May 3071, Clan's Wolf's control of their portion of planet would soon be taken by various Clans. Notably, Steel Viper's Gamma Galaxy attempt to take rest of the planet would be blocked by Clan Coyote's Delta Galaxy allowing the Wolves's 12th Wolf Regulars withdraw from the planet.[14] Wolves enclaves would be soon controlled by the Coyotes, however this would only last a single year. After razing of Kerensky Blood Chapel in early 3072, Coyote's gifted enclave would come under attack by the combined forces Clan Goliath Scorpion and Clan Fire Mandrill's Kindraa Mattila-Carrol. The Coyote's 120th Strike Cluster would crippled by losing its commander in the fighting, dividing the Coyote's enclave between the two Clans.[15]

Fire Mandrill's holding would come under fire by Steel Vipers, seeing their Khan Amanda Carrol killed in September of 3073 along with rest of the Kindraa Matilla-Carrol.[16]

In 3079, the Clan Star Adders would seize Clan Goliath Scorpion's holding on Glory due to their Abjuration from Clan Homeworlds. The Adders moved Scorpion's enclaves grabbed key facilities to wither them away. Scorpions would soon evacuate to Roche.[17]

As of 3085, the Clan Stone Lion control of the planet would grow to control most of Glory, while Coyotes would hold on to a portion for themselves.[18]
