Planetary Info
Kestrel is a heavily populated world in the coreward Crucis March of the Federated Suns. Furthermore it is the capital of the Kestrel Combat Region in the Markesan Operation Area.
Geography
Kestrel is a beautiful world with fertile plains and plentiful natural resources. The world's colonization and industrial expansion were planned wisely. Most of the heavy industry were shifted to Kestrel's two moons, which were terraformed into habitable worlds of their own. Most of the population lives in big cities, which contain a lot of skyscrapers, leaving enough space for vast fields, plains and forests. All this turns Kestrel into one of the Garden Worlds of the Federated Suns, whose food exports feed many worlds throughout the Crucis and Draconis Marches.[1]
Planetary History
After the founding of the Federated Suns in 2317 the world of Kestrel was one of the first new members of the young state. The systems location deep in the Suns' territory let the world prosper and made the satisfied population and the ducal family staunch supporters of the Davions. That is one of the reasons why the people of Kestrel have consistently been among the top five worlds providing the most number of recruits to the AFFS.[1]
During the Second Succession War Kestrel was one of many planets devastated by the Draconis Combine's search and destroy missions. [33]

Notes
- Kestrel is the home planet of most members of the famous McKinnon's Raiders since 2786 when First Prince John Davion bestowed Captain Kieran McKinnon and his company with titles and lands on this world in return for their service.[42]
- In many of Michael A. Stackpole's novels, Kestrel is said to be the landhold of the Allard family (who are invested as the Counts of Kestrel). It has never been explained how this reconciles with the existence of the ducal Cunningham family.[citation needed]
