===Planetary History===
 
−
====Star League Era====
 
−
The Third Lyran Guards were in place on the Black Rock continent on Orkney in [[2765]], a desolate punishment posting assigned to them by the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] High Command as a consequence of the [[regiment]] deciding to "bolster relations" with a [[Magistracy of Canopus|Canopian]] [[Canopian Pleasure Circus|pleasure circus]]. Also present were a special medical team and the [[LIC]], working through the repercussions of the Third's Canopian encounter.<ref name="FR2765p12"/>

====Clan Invasion Era====
+
== Political Affiliation ==  
−
During the Fifth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]] Orkney, apparently abandoned by the [[Federated Commonwealth]], became the subject of a [[Trial of Possession]] between [[Clan Jade Falcon]] and [[Clan Steel Viper]] in November or December [[3051]]. The battle between the [[1st Falcon Striker (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Striker]] and Viper's [[104th Assault (Clan Steel Viper)|104th Assault]] [[Cluster]] ended in a draw, leaving the world split between the two Clans. The Falcons briefly maintained a training base on the southern continent but after the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] chose to abandon Orkney entirely, leaving it solely under Steel Viper control.<ref name=JFSBp43/><ref name=ICp89/><ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 33</ref>
