-'''IV C Victory:''' Mean orbital radius, 3.12 million kilometers (40 radii). Period 92.8 days. No satellites. Diameter, 4531 kilometers. Density, 1.01 standard. Mass, .016 standard. Mean surface gravity, .26G. Rotation period: none (tidal lock with Druthere). Axial inclination 39°54'42.6". Albedo, .27. Surface atmospheric pressure, less than .01 atm; vacuum suites required outside colony domes. Hydrographic percentage, 10%; composition, water-ice. Mean surface temperature, -33° C.
-'''Remarks:''' The star designated Ildrathir was named by the first interstellar explorers to settle in the region, representatives of the aggressive and militaristic culture of {{WorldS|Drexilthar|Reaver's Deep|0206}}. Prior to the expansion of {{WorldS|Caledon|Reaver's Deep|1815}}, Drexilthar controlled a fairly substantial empire in the Deep. The Ildrathir system represented their furthest penetration [[coreward]]. The third moon of the outermost gas giant, Druthere, was established as an advanced military outpost after scouts discovered the fledgling Principality of Caledon, which at that time ([[-86]]) controlled only a handful of star systems. The Caledonian worlds were targeted for a full takeover by elements of the Iltharan Star Navy.
-The Principality, however, acted first - a response that went down in history as the [[Iltharan War]].
-The Caledonian [[Royal Intelligence Service]] determined that a large Drexiltharian fleet was preparing to move on the [[Rob Roy (world)|Rob Roy system]], an initial assault on the [[Principality of Caledon|Principality]].
-With a handful of ships, Admiral the Earl of Strathmore launched a pre-emptive strike against Ildrathir, running into unexpectedly large forces orbiting Druthere's satellite. In a hard-fought battle, the Iltharan forces were defeated. The moon was occupied and Prince Jameison decreed that it would henceforth be known as "Victory" in commemoration of the battle. Caledonian aid to dissidents caused a rebellion to erupt in the Empire and Drexilthar was never again in a position to renew direct warfare with the Principality.
-(See [[Iltharan War]] for more details).
-Victory is currently the site of a major trading center linking the Principality to the Imperium by way of the Imperial world of {{WorldS|Concorde|Reaver's Deep|2218}}. A Caledonian naval base is also present, largely intended to guard against incursions (or a return by Maxwellian exiles) from {{WorldS|Germaine|Reaver's Deep|2019}}.
-Every so often, rumors spread through the colony of the presence on Victory (or, possibly, another of Druthere’s satellites) of some secret cache of Iltharan equipment or weaponry. No two rumors have ever agreed on the contents, location, or fate of this cache, but the persistence of the basic story makes it probable that there is some basis in fact for the whole claim. The stories have sparked searches by treasure hunters, archeologists, and even a few Maxwellian sympathizers who hope to turn up an arsenal or a hanger stocked with old but serviceable warships. Such searches have not, to public knowledge, proven successful.
