Planetary History

In 3050 as part of the Hellion's Fury campaign Clan Ice Hellion challenged Clan Hell's Horses to a Trial of Possession for several mining complexes. The attacking Hellions were quickly dispatched by the Horses.[11]

Prior to 3059, Clan Burrock, Clan Nova Cat and Clan Ice Hellion controlled sizable enclaves on this world. However, Clan Star Adder gained control of the Burrock enclaves in February 3059 when they absorbed the Burrock Clan. Then, when Clan Nova Cat joined the Second Star League in early 3060, the Nova Cats were forced to leave Clan space. Clan Ice Hellion, Clan Star Adder, Clan Wolf and Clan Hell's Horses quickly staged several Trials of Possession for the Nova Cat enclaves while that Clan tried to evacuate. For several years, the fighting was chaotic between the four Clans, with Clan Wolf and Clan Hell's Horses taking heavy losses as they tried to fight for a foothold.[citation needed]

In the power vacuum left from the departure of Clan Ghost Bear and the Trial of Abjuration of Clan Nova Cat, Hoard suffered from years of Trials of Possession, frequently involving a new factor in Clan combat, collateral damage. The circumstance began to stabilize with Clan Star Adder gains. Having struck at prime enclaves, then stopped to reinforce, the Adders found themselves prepared to reengage in Trials of Trials of Possession while their closest rivals had exhausted themselves. In this manner, the Adder found the Wolf garrisons on Hoard unprepared, and took most of their enclave.[12][13][14]

The Adders would then expand the size of their enclave on Hoard in the wake of Clan Ice Hellion ill-advised assults. Khan Asa Taney launched the assaults in retribution for a Clan Cloud Cobra assault on Hellion merchants in the Tanis system. Taney wished to punish the Star Adders, Cloud Cobra allies, as an earlier assault on the Cloud Cobras had failed on Brim. This attack was disastrous, costing the Hellions much of their territory on Hoard.[15][16]

The Wars of Reaving

In late December 3067, Clan Star Adder became aware Clan Hell's Horses were preparing the Deep Periphery colony of Nouveaux Paris, and believed the Clan was making arrangements for a second attempt to secure an Inner Sphere Occupation Zone. Khan Stanislov N'Buta confronted Khan James Cobb about the preparations, but then struck a deal with the Horses' Khan. Clan Hell's Horses would trade their entire mineral-rich enclave on Hoard in exchange for aiding Star Adder operations in the Deep Periphery. In addition, Clan Star Adder would begin conducting new Trials of Possession as a means to distract other Clans from discovering the Horses' activities. Though a steep price for Star Adder support, Cobb agreed to the terms, relinquishing their holdings to the Adders.[5]

The next year, saKhan Connor Rood of Clan Ice Hellion would also become suspicious of the Horses' intent to invade the Clan Occupation Zone. In response to his inquiries, Khan James Cobb would extend the timetable for the Horses' Inner Sphere operations, and offer Harvest-style Trials of Possession with Clan Ice Hellion, to be conducted on Hoard. The Horses did quite well with the Trials, taking two clusters from the Hellions, however, the Trials were meant as a ruse to keep the attention of other Clans, allowing the Horses to surprise and taking one-third of Tranquil from Clan Wolf.[17]

As Clan Wolf departed the Clan Homeworlds, many of their Possessions were traded to their, Clan Coyote in late 3070. The Wolves traded to the Coyotes enclaves on several worlds, 5 stars of aerospace fighters, and a pair of WarShips, the CWS Provider and the CWS Relentless Pursuit, in exchange for several sibkos from shared Bloodhouses, five Stars of JumpShips, and Omicron Galaxy. These enclaves were spread throughout the Kerensky Cluster, including Glory, Paxon, and Hoard; after acquiring these colonies, Clan Coyote began redeploying its touman to garrison their new holdings.[6] Before these holdings could be fully garrisoned, Clan Wolf stole the genetics legacies of the founders of the Clans, Nicholas Kerensky, Andery Kerensky, and Jennifer Winson, on 3 December 3071.[7]

In retalation, Clans Blood Spirit, Fire Mandrill, Goliath Scorpion, and Star Adder mobilized against Clan Coyote former-Wolf enclaves on Glory, Paxon, Hoard. Attacking from their enclave across the planet, the Adder were able to catch the Coyote's garrison, the 80th Strike Cluster by complete surprise, destroying the unit in its city. The Adders then continued their campaign, taking more of the remaining Ice Hellion enclave, too.[7]

However, Hoard would lose all communication with the rest of the Kerensky Cluster within a couple month as a result of HPG infrastructural damage during the initial stages of The Society rebellion.[18][19]

Clan Star Adder moved their genetic repositories and capital to Hoard after The Society released a mutant strain of the Sept-Delta-4 virus into the ground water aquafers of Sheridan in 3079.[20]
