Kestrel is a heavily populated world in the coreward [[Crucis March]] of the Federated Suns. Furthermore it is the capital of the [[Kestrel Combat Region]] in the [[Markesan Operation Area]].
 
  
===Planetary History===
+
==Population Data<ref name="Handbook"> </ref>==
After the founding of the [[Federated Suns]] in [[2317]] the world of Kestrel was one of the first new members of the young state. The system's location deep in the Suns' territory let the world prosper and made the satisfied population and the ducal family staunch supporters of the [[House Davion|Davion]]s. That is one of the reasons why the people of Kestrel have consistently been among the top five worlds providing the most number of recruits to the [[AFFS]].<ref name="HB:HDp94"/>

====First Succession War====
+
===Rulers===  
In [[2789]], the [[Draconis Combine]] began a hugely successful invasion of the Federated Suns, with [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] units pouring across the border and conquering system after system while the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] desperately tried to mount a defense amidst mass confusion and conflicting orders exacerbated by the DCMS specifically targeting communications systems and [[JumpShip]]s as priorities for destruction to disrupt communications. The first attempt to break the invasion was mustered by [[First Prince of the Federated Suns|First Prince]] [[John Davion]] in [[2788]] and that attempt, [[Operation SOLAR SHIELD]], was an expensive disaster. By the time Prince John's second plan had begun at the end of [[2789]], the Dragon had advanced as far as conquering such far-flung Federated Suns worlds as [[Acoma]], [[Batavia]], [[Imbrial III]], Kestrel, and [[Saunemin]].<ref name="FSWp41">''First Succession War'', p. 41: "An Expensive Learning Curve"</ref><ref name="FSWp41A">''First Succession War'', pp. 41–42: "Cholame"</ref>
+
* Noble Ruler ([[3067]]): Duke Xerxes Cunningham
  
Prince John's second plan—a massive naval response under the operational command of [[Admiral]] [[Kenneth Jones]]—saw AFFS forces return to Kestrel in early [[2790]], striking at the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] ships in the system, and although the battle group only stayed in the system for a week before moving on to the next target it was able to provide valuable assistance to the resistance groups still fighting on Kestrel.<ref name="FSWp41A"/>
+
== Geography ==
 +
Kestrel is a beautiful world with fertile plains and plentiful natural resources. The world's colonization and industrial expansion were planned wisely. Most of the heavy industry were shifted to Kestrel's two moons, which were terraformed into habitable worlds of their own. Most of the population lives in big cities, which contain a lot of skyscrapers, leaving enough space for vast fields, plains and forests. All this turns Kestrel into one of the Garden Worlds of the Federated Suns, whose food exports feed many worlds throughout the [[Crucis March|Crucis]] and [[Draconis March]]es.{{cn}}
  
Kestrel was liberated by the AFFS in [[2809]][[2810]] as part of the second major AFFS counteroffensive of the [[First Succession War]] against the Draconis Combine.<ref name="FSWp98">''First Succession War'', p. 98: "The Davion Counter-Offensives"</ref>

* Kestrel is the home planet of most members of the famous [[McKinnon's Raiders]] since [[2786]] when [[First Prince]] [[John Davion]] bestowed [[Captain]] [[Kieran McKinnon]] and his company with titles and lands on this world in return for their service.<ref>''The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders'', p. 6</ref>
+
! 3067
* In many of Michael A. Stackpole's novels, Kestrel is said to be the landhold of the Allard family (who are invested as the Counts of Kestrel). In contrast, many of the sourcebooks claim Kestrel to be the Cunningham family's ducal landhold. (''[[House Davion (The Federated Suns)]]'' actually states both simultaneously, albeit on different pages.) The discrepancy has never been reconciled; one explanation might be the Allard family being a cadet branch of or distantly related to the Cunninghams.{{cn}}

==Notes==
 +
* Kestrel is the home planet of most members of the famous [[McKinnon's Raiders]] since [[2786]] when [[First Prince]] [[John Davion]] bestowed [[Captain]] [[Kieran McKinnon]] and his company with titles and lands on this world in return for their service.<ref>''The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders'', p.6</ref>
 +
 +
* In many of Michael A. Stackpole's novels, Kestrel is said to be the landhold of the Allard family (who are invested as the Counts of Kestrel).  It has never been explained how this reconciles with the existence of the ducal Cunningham family. {{cn}}
