History[edit]
In 3057, following the collapse of the Sarna March into what was now the Chaos March, civil war broke out on Hall as self-styled "Emperor" William Baranov sought to bring the world under his control. Count Radcliffe McNally hired the Burton's Brigade mercenary unit to bolster his forces (the McNally Guard. Meanwhile, Cater's Cohorts split off from Baranov's forces to form a third major player in the war. After Major Cater's rebellious troops were forced to withdraw to Hall's southern hemisphere, the three major factions on Hall settled into their respective territories.
Baranov was slowly gaining the upper hand in the ongoing conflicts, and with the arrival of the fresh Stealthy Tigers mercenaries in late 3066 vanquished McNally's forces in the field, killing the Count. McNally's mistress (and the mother of his child), Burton's Brigade CO Elly Burton, held out with a remnant of McNally's forces and her own mercenaries until the situation came to a head in October 3067. Burton wound up in a 'Mech fight with Baranov that left them both dead.[2]
Technically speaking, Radcliffe McNally's surviving son might be the planet's rightful ruler, but in the chaos of the Jihad, Hall became part of the Word of Blake Protectorate (the Word of Blake having secretly sponsored Baranov), and after the Jihad it was part of the Republic of the Sphere. It is unclear what if any claims House McNally retained.
