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 nations 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] When the Clans arrived in the Periphery in 3049 Sigurd was, along with the rest of the bandit kingdom, quickly swallowed by Clan Wolf only to be conquered by the Hell's Horses during the Jihad.[3]
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.[4]
