Located about 120 LY from Clan Smoke Jaguar's capital of Huntress.
Planetary History
Colonized by 2821,[2] the breadbasket world became infamous for the Londerholm Revolt of 2912, when a famine led to widespread rebellion among the Jaguar's laborer caste. The rebellion was put down with great violence, and the population decline ended the famine.[3][12] The port city of Vostok was razed to the ground by the Jaguars and never rebuilt.[5]
By 3037 the Jaguars maintained at least one training facility in the Grey Ridge Mountains. It was here that the warrior Trent, who would one day engineer his Clan's downfall, was born and trained.[4]
It was on this world that the Hellion's Fury campaign came to an end in June 3050. In the ruins of Vostok the attacking Ice Hellions suffered heavy losses from a joint Coyote-Smoke Jaguar force. A few weeks later a bandit raid upon the Hellions' newly acquired territory resulted in the death of the Hellion Khan and the maiming of his saKhan. The timing of the attack led to unproven allegations that the Jaguars had deliberately arranged for the bandits' attack.[5]
Following the Smoke Jaguar's Annihilation in 3060, the Ice Hellions and Coyote fought over the Jaguars' enclaves.[7]
The Wars of Reaving
In 3070, when the Ice Hellions stripped their holdings bare in preparation for Operation ICE STORM, or as lower caste citizens had been told, "a new 'Hellion Fury' series of assaults", Clan Coyote, commanded by Galaxy Commander Armin Tamzarian, mobilized and seized three industrial complexes Londerholm in the Hellion's enclave. Denizens of the enclaves confirmed the Hellion Warrior Caste was not defending two additional facilities, a large merchant trading facility and a Sabutai factory. The successes of the operation prompted Khan Silas Kufahl to reform Gamma Galaxy, and tasked the reconstituted unit with the defense of Londerholm and Hellgate, and operations in the area.[13]
In August, 3072, ilKhan Brett Andrews was accused of failing to rally the Clans to internal threats posed by The Society uprising by Khan Silas Kufahl, and challenged the ilKhan to a Trial of Reaving for his legacy. Andrews quickly killed the Coyote Khan, but the challenge brought to the ilKhan's attention the lack of communication with Clan Steel Viper colonies throughout the Clan Homeworlds, and the fact Clan Ice Hellion was largely missing. In response, Andrews mobilized the Vipers and their snake allies, Clans Cloud Cobra and Star Adder, each declaring their intent to Absorb the Ice Hellions.[14]
When saKhan attacked the nearly undefended Hellion territory on the planet in September 3072; during the assault on Sprague the use of a chemical weapon by the defenders resulted in that city's devastation by the Vipers. Afterwards they discovered that the 'Ice Hellion' forces were in fact Society scientists and Dark Caste warriors. The Coyotes then attacked the Vipers in a fierce battle that ended with the Vipers in full control of Londerholm by 17 September. Noting signs of genetic Taint amongst the Coyote defenders, the Vipers carried out a Reaving and infrastructure razing which resulted in the deaths of over seven million civilians.[9]
By the end of the Wars of Reaving and the Viper Annihilation the world was divided between the Coyotes, Cloud Cobras and Star Adders, with the Stone Lions later acquiring their own territory.[10]
