Planet History[edit]
Tintavel was within the Free Worlds League,[2] but was captured by the Capellan Confederation during the Age of War. In January 2412 a FWLM force invaded, intending to recapture the planet. The battle raged into urban areas and escalated until both sides employed various weapons of mass destruction, leading to over 300,000 casualties and forced the remaining population to abandon the planet, later called the Tintavel Massacre.[3]
The Capellan Chancellor Aleisha Liao recognized that one reason for the escalation of the battle were the only vague rules of engagement of this time. Those rules led to numerous similar situations on other worlds. At her behest, representatives of all the major powers met on the planet of Ares and agreed on a treaty known as the Ares Conventions, which defined rules of engagement. The intention was to prevent unnecessary loss of life in future conflicts.[3]
Though it was depopulated, Tintavel still appears on maps after the conclusion of the Age of War in the hands of House Marik. It finally vanished completely during the Second Succession War.[9][14]
