Planetary History[edit]

The planet was originally an exclusive Clan Hell's Horses colony. Around 3010, Clan Smoke Jaguar seized control over part of the world and retained their enclave until the Jaguars' annihilation in 3060 by the Second Star League Defense Force. During the Wars of Possession that followed Clan Hell's Horses once more claimed exclusive control over the planet.[3]

In late 3068, Clan Fire Mandrill's Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline attacked Kirin hoping to take advantage of supposed Horse weakness. By the end of the year they had claimed Kirin MechWorks, the nearby city, and other territory, amounting to almost a third of the Horse enclaves. Several Horse Clusters from Delta Galaxy then arrived and regained nearly all of the conquered areas except for KM City[7]

During the Wars of Reaving, Kirin with its merchant and laborer caste inhabitants were traded to Clan Coyote after March 3070 as the Hell's Horses prepared for their invasion of Clan Wolf's Inner Sphere holdings.[8] In September 3072 it was one of the Clan Homeworlds with an HPG unaffected by the SLOT virus, due to Clan Coyote's collusion with The Society.[11]

In the aftermath of the Wars of Reaving, Kirin became the capital world of Clan Coyote as well as its exclusive holding, and with it the largest remaining naval shipyard in the Clan Homeworlds.[9][12] By 3085, Clan Stone Lion had been gifted two former Hell's Horses enclaves on the planet, making it one of their primary support worlds.[10][13][14]

Planetary distances determined with the 2821 Pentagon & Kerensky Cluster Map, which has a lightyear distance scale included. Some distances have not been included due to some worlds not having been discovered.[22]
