Their capital city of the planet was named Ironhold City. ===History=== Ironhold was colonized by the nascent Clans at some point during the first two decades of the [[twenty-ninth century]] and was initially divided between Clans Jade Falcon, [[Clan Wolf|Wolf]] and [[Clan Ice Hellion|Ice Hellion]]. By [[2819]] the Falcons had driven the other two Clans off and controlled Ironhold exclusively for the next two and a half centuries until late [[3069]] when the planet fell to a massive [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Viper]] assault. Taken by [[The Society|the Society]] three years later, Ironhold was abandoned as a habitable world by [[3075]].<ref name=OTPWAp4/><ref name=WORp47/><ref name=WORp248/> ====The Widowmaker Absorption==== The Steitz Plains of Ironhold were the site of [[Clan Widowmaker|Clan Widowmaker's]] [[Trial of Refusal]] in October [[2834]] against their [[Rite of Absorption|Absorption]] by Clan Wolf. A close-fought battle was waged by both Clans' warriors, until the rival [[Khan|Khans]] [[Jerome Winson]] and [[Cal Jorgensson]] squared off in single combat. As Winson gained the upper hand a [[Star (Formation)|Star]] of Widowmaker 'Mechs illegally intervened, setting off an all-out brawl when [[ilKhan]] [[Nicholas Kerensky]] and other Khans of the [[Grand Council]] moved to aid Winson. In the confusion Jorgensson by accident or design slew ilKhan Kerensky, inciting a furious Winson and his enraged Wolves to scour Ironhold and wipe out the Widowmaker presence on that world.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Widowmaker Absorption'', p. 8</ref><ref name=OTPWAp4/> In the aftermath of Kerensky's death, a memorial was erected over the site of his slaying and received visitors from all of the Clans.<ref name=OTPWAp4/> ====The Wars of Reaving==== In November [[3069]] the [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Vipers]] initiated an assault on Ironhold as part of the Wars of Reaving. The entire [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]] landed on the world after declaring the defenders ''[[dezgra]]''. The [[Twelfth Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twelfth Talon]] and [[Zeta Solahma (Clan Jade Falcon)|Zeta ''Solahma'']] Clusters held out for a month before being destroyed.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref> Three years later, an unidentified force landed at Ironhold and shattered the defenders. This [[3072]] strike was the first open action made by [[The Society]]. The Steel Vipers' [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Omicron Galaxy]] was totally destroyed.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 91</ref> After-action reports indicate that Ironhold was a key world for The Society, housing much of their research.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 93</ref> In March of [[3077]] [[Clan Coyote|Clan Coyote's]] [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Zeta Galaxy's]] [[Sixty-ninth Strike (Clan Coyote)|Sixty-ninth Strike]] [[Cluster]] landed on Ironhold as part of the effort to eliminate the Society from Clan Space. Led by Zeta's [[Galaxy Commander]], Noemi McKibben, the Cluster engaged Society forces on the planet, where the Sixth-ninth Strike would raze the Society's Enclave, a facility which had contained number of genetically mutated ''[[Sibko|sibkos]]'', all of which were killed as soon they were discovered. The Cluster would end up attacking another hidden enclave in the Peregrine Mountains. This enclave would be the last stand for the Society, where their forces mounted a desperate and ultimately doomed counterassault. In the end the Coyote Cluster burned all resistance to ash.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 164: Clan Coyote - Clan Coyote Post–Wars of Reaving history includes Ironhold invasion and the destruction of the Society on Ironhold</ref> ===Planetary Locations=== {{scrollbox| * Ironhold City: Planetary capital<ref name=wor234/> * [[Ironhold Training Center]]<ref name=BNc13>''Bloodname'', ch. 13</ref> * Steitz Plains: The site of [[Nicholas Kerensky]]'s death.<ref name=OTP:WAp4/> }} ===Military Deployment=== ===3067=== :*[[Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Emerald Talon Assault Star]]<ref name=FMU72+73>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 72–73</ref> :*[[Twelfth Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twelfth Talon]]<ref name=FMU72+73/> :*[[Zeta Solahma (Clan Jade Falcon)|Zeta Solahma]]<ref name=FMU72+73/> ===Companies and Industries=== * [[Eagle Craft Group]] * [[Complex VI]] * [[Complex 9]] * [[Ironhold Alpha Complex]] * [[Complex Beta]] * [[Ironhold Gamma Complex]] * [[Ironhold Plant 9]] * [[Chiaroscuro Testing Site]] (Society)<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 209–210</ref> ==Map Gallery== <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> ==Nearby Systems== <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 20 systems (7 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Foster]] | class="lessthan30" | 12.0 | class="lessthan30" | [[Huntress]] | class="lessthan30" | 13.2 | class="lessthan30" | [[Strana Mechty]] | class="lessthan30" | 26.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Atreus (Clan_System)|Atreus]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.8 |- | class="over30" | [[Lum]] | class="over30" | 42.4 | class="over30" | [[Shadow]] | class="over30" | 48.5 | class="over30" | [[Marshall]] | class="over30" | 49.1 | class="over60" | [[Tokasha]] | class="over60" | 64.1 |- | class="over60" | [[Brim]] | class="over60" | 74.5 | class="over60" | [[Priori]] | class="over60" | 75.9 | class="over60" | [[Gatekeeper]] | class="over60" | 76.9 | class="over60" | [[Tathis]] | class="over60" | 77.7 |- | class="over60" | [[Tranquil]] | class="over60" | 79.7 | class="over60" | [[Niles (Clan_System)|Niles]] | class="over60" | 82.2 | class="over60" | [[New Kent]] | class="over60" | 84.4 | class="over60" | [[Delios]] | class="over60" | 86.9 |- | class="over60" | [[Sheridan (Clan_system)|Sheridan]] | class="over60" | 93.7 | class="over60" | [[Hellgate]] | class="over60" | 98.5 | class="over60" | [[Glory (system)|Glory]] | class="over60" | 105.0 | class="over60" | [[Bearclaw]] | class="over60" | 105.4 |- |} ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Bloodname (novel)|Bloodname]]'' (novel) * ''[[The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Operational Turning Points: Widowmaker Absorption]]'' * ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' [[Category:Systems|Ironhold]] [[Category: Clan Systems]] [[Category: Clan Jade Falcon Systems]] [[Category: Kerensky Cluster]] [[Category: Clan Homeworlds]]
