====Early History====
The founding of the first settlement on St. Timalin was a direct consequence of the coup launched by [[Stefan Amaris]] that saw him seize control of the [[Terran Hegemony]] in [[2765]]. Stefan Amaris actively worked against organized religions on Terra, attempting to subsume their authority, influence and resources for himself; among those targeted was the Catholic Church, shortly after Amaris had already destroyed major religious sites central to the Muslim and Judaism faiths. Anticipating that Amaris' attention would turn to the Catholic Church, the Pope charged the head of the Vatican City's traditional armed forces, ''[[Oberst]]'' [[Andreas Kosovskaia]] of the Swiss Guard, with removing and protecting as many of the treasures and as much of the secret knowledge preserved within the Vatican as possible before Amaris could seize them. Although ''Oberst'' Kosovskaia was killed during Amaris' attack and seizure of the Vatican, he successfully organized the removal of much of the Vatican's treasure and hidden books, dispatching them with one of his two immediate subordinates, ''[[Oberstleutnant]]'' [[Chaeryl Brunegg]]. ''Oberstleutnant'' Brunegg escaped from Terra and rendezvoused with her counterpart, ''Oberstleutnant'' [[Daniel Nikolaus]], in the [[Alarion]] system; these two officers represented the highest-ranking officers left in the Swiss Guard at this point.<ref name="ISP3:IEp59">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 59-60, "History"</ref>

Knowing that Amaris had forces in pursuit of the Swiss Guard and their assorted treasure, Brunegg and Nikolaus  gathered together the remaining survivors of the Swiss Guard and their families and set off for the Deep Periphery, using the three remaining [[JumpShip]]s belonging to the Holy See: the [[Adrian IV]], [[Pius XIV]] and [[St. Peter]]. The two ''Oberstleutnants'' were determined to protect the treasure, relics and knowledge while the [[Inner Sphere]] descended into warfare, so that their descendants could return to the Inner Sphere in the future to help rebuild the Catholic Church when Amaris and his successors were gone. Although ''Oberstleutnant'' Brunegg apparently died in a [[DropShip]] accident en route, the Swiss Guard arrived in the system subsequently named St. Andreas at some point in or around 2768, and identified that the single world in the system was habitable. The planet was colonized and named St. Timalin; also colonized at the same time were the planets two moons, which were named St. Chaeryl and St. Daniel.<ref name="ISP3:IEp59"/>
