The frigid world of Sigurd is the moon of a gas giant orbiting a brilliant but distant F4-class sun in the coreward Periphery.

Geography

Sigurd is the cold moon of a glowing gas giant, that orbits a far, bright F4 sun.[1]

History

Sigurd was originally part of the Rim Worlds Republic until the nation's downfall that accompanied the end of the Star League. Unlike many of the former Republic systems the world was not absorbed by the Lyran Commonwealth but instead founded the Oberon Confederation with the neighboring worlds of Oberon VI and Crellacor. Together this little alliance hold on to the Republic cause for at least two decades, but finally succumbed to the numerous pirate attacks.[2] From this time on Sigurd fought alone against falling into oblivion until 3012 when the moon joined Hendrik Grimm III's mockery of the former Oberon Confederation, with the government forcibly breaking down any opposition amongst its own population in the process.[1]

Clan Invasion

Sigured was invaded on September 3049 by Clan Wolf's 37th Striker Cluster. The Clan forces made short work of the defending Sigurd Guardsat the Ewell Graveyard, most of whom surrendered at the first sight of their OmniMechs and Elementals.[3]

While quickly swallowed up by Clan Wolf in the opening moments of their campaign, the world was conquered by the Hell's Horses during the Jihad.[4]

Dark Age

In 3083 the Ferris Rebellion caused the Clans to withdraw from most of their Periphery holdings. The Hell's Horses had used Oberon IV as an administrative world, and when the Clan left the area in 3086, the administrators of that world formed the New Oberon Confederation. Sigurd was one of five systems to join the new polity.[5]
