Planet Description
York was a large and warm planet with relatively intense tectonic activity. The planet had large mountain ranges with several volcanoes reaching the stratosphere. Most of the planet's population was concentrated near the shorelines.[2]
History
Planet used as a mining world for both Clan Jade Falcon and Clan Snow Raven. After a time, these Clan's mines were depleted and York become a planet without strategical meaning. Eventually, Blood Spirits laid claim to the rest of the planet by the Trial of Possession with the Falcons and the Snow Ravens. After gaining control of the planet, the Clan then moved the majority of its population to York to isolate itself from the rest of the Home based Clans. This changed a few years later, where the Spirits past dealings with their rivals from Clan Blood Spirit, revisited them in form of invasion of the planet. After humiliating Spirits, the Star Adders was able to established a small enclave for themselves.[3] [4] During this period the Blood Spirits were slowly isolated, used as means for Star Adders to train their personnel. Merchants were blockaded from traveling to the world until late 3060s. During one these merchant visits to York, emissaries from Clan Diamond Shark uncovered a partial prototype Crimson Hawk. The commander of the emissaries fought and won a Trial of Possession for the 'Mech, its scientists and data in the Morgrave Swamplands.[5]
