Planetary History[edit]

Star League[edit]

During the final years of the Star League, Sargasso was the host of a Star League Defense Force garrison.[39]

Dark Age[edit]

Sargasso was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during the Clan's invasion of the Lyran Commonwealth in 3142, as the planet lay directly in the path of their advance towards Coventry. Attacked in the first days of the fighting, the Third Royal Guards RCT was driven off-world, and a later Wolf in Exile counterattack in July inflicted heavy casualties on the Ninth Falcon Talon but failed to reclaim the planet.[40][31][41][32][33]

IlClan Era[edit]

Abandoned by the Falcons following the Battle of Terra, Sargasso become an independent world within the Hinterlands throughout 3151. In February 3152 the planet was among the ex-Falcon holdings claimed by Callandre Kell's Arc-Royal Liberty Coalition. By this point Sargasso was devastated, as widespread native rebellions had been brutally crushed by Falcon adherents of the Mongol Doctrine. The Kell Hounds who made planetfall found that surviving rebels had reclaimed both continents and driven the Falcon paramilitary garrison onto Sagres Island. There the command center's potent anti-air defenses led to the Hounds commander Captain Timurbek Almazov mounting a costly but successful amphibious invasion with civilian sea-craft. After the anti-air defenses were neutralized, the Falcons held out for two more days before surrendering.[38]

  • Barrier Heights: coral reef off the western coast of Perusalem[33]
  • Sagres Island: planetary command center[44][38]
