Planet History

Ilion is a planet or system originally within the Free Worlds League. One of the autonomous worlds within the region described as the "Bolan Thumb" in 2571, Ilion is between Tylarzka and Malazan and vanished from maps during the Second Succession War. [9][11]

During the First Succession War, Ilion was taken by Lyran Commonwealth forces. During the fighting, tactical nuclear devices were deployed there in 2799.[18] The damage to the world's life support systems was so severe that it would eventually be evacuated,[19] though evidently only after the Free Worlds League managed to recapture it by 2821.[20]

The 12th Atrean Dragoons, following their surrender to loyalist troops on Calloway VI in the Marik Civil War in November 3014, withdrew to Ilion V with other disenchanted House Marik troops[21] where it is noted they fought a final battle (against each other or an unspecified third party) before forming the famed Hansen's Roughriders mercenary unit.[22] This would imply the Ilion system to feature at least five planets, and the fifth being the primary habitable world; however, by 3014 Ilion was already long abandoned and not listed on contemporary starmaps.
