According to an [[apocryphal]] source,<ref name=KuB81>''Katze unter Bären'', p. 81</ref> Shadow is a large moon orbiting a gas giant with such a high gravity that the libration point (Lagrange point) forms a stable "[[pirate point]]" a few hundred thousand kilometers from Shadow some three times per month, close enough even for [[aerospace fighter]]s and [[small craft]] to make the trip. The system's sun is only a slightly larger star in Shadow's dark sky which is dominated by the gas giant. The world is in twilight most of the time, with no discernible day-night-cycle but strong polar lights, and has surface temperatures between –80° and –160° Celsius. The same source also cited a surface gravity of almost 0.9g.

As of [[3053]], Shadow was apocryphally noted<ref name=KuB81/> to have previously been a [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] holding, but large areas had been ceded to the other invading Clans as a jump-off world on the way to the [[Inner Sphere]] with the provision that large-scale live-fire exercises could be carried out there before troops embarked on the year-long journey.

The world is reportedly completely controlled by factionalist [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] as of 3062, and noted as their capital world.<ref>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 78: "Fire Mandrill Demographics": Shadow shown at 100% controlled by Fire Mandrills and is the Clan's capital world</ref>
 
 
 
In [[3002]], Clan Fire Mandrill traded the design of their ''[[Viper (Dragonfly)|Viper]]'' [[OmniMech]] and control of the manufacturing facility [[Upsilon Plant 2J]] to [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in exchange for several production runs of the ''[[Executioner (Gladiator)|Executioner]]'' [[OmniMech]], in part because of the ongoing problems they were suffering with the OmniPod technology on the ''Viper''. The Ghost Bears were unwilling to maintain a single small enclave on Shadow, surrounded by warring [[Kindraa]], and chose to dismantle the plant and move it to their holdings on [[Strana Mechty]].<ref name="TRO:CIp28"/>
 
  
The planet was historically a [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] holding. When [[Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Sainze (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline-Sainze]] was marked to be [[Trial of Reaving|Reaved]], [[Clan Coyote]] took it in [[3072]] during what was identified as the [[Battle of Shadow (3072)|Battle of Shadow]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving''</ref>
