[edit] The Jihad
The Word of Blake launched a raid on Donegal between the 14th and 17th of March 3068, while also launching raids on Coventry and Hesperus II; the three raids all featured support from Blakist WarShips or Pocket WarShips.[23] The Word of Blake then took advantage of the reduced defenses on Donegal to launch a full assault on the 27th of February 3070, attempting to occupy the world in a fashion similar to that already used against Hesperus II.[17][18] Donegal would be blockaded for more than a year; on the 14th of February 3072 a coalition of forces from ComStar, Clan Wolf-in-Exile and the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces all under the command of Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion successfully broke the blockade and liberated Donegal.[19][20]
In December 3076 it was speculated by the media that Donegal was the site of planning or troop movements in support of an anticipated invasion of the Word of Blake Protectorate due to a combination of factors, which included the arrival of the Monarch-class Dropship Little Big Horn, believed to be the command vessel of General Belle Lee of the allied coalition. The Little Big Horn arrived with almost no notice at a cargo port near Wytheville operated by General Dynamics on the 2nd of December; the Wythevilla port which was then promptly placed under a security lockdown for all traffic other than allied coalition forces. All civilian traffic was routed to the Meridian drop facility, roughly a thousand kilometers away, while at least three secure convoys landed at Wytheville in the next 24 hours.[24]
Adding credence to the media speculation was the arrival of the security detachment associated with Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner; it was rumoured that the other two private convoys to land at Wytheville were bringing Field Marshal Katherine Sandoval-Ito and Tai-shu Isoroku Kurita and their attached entourages to Wytheville from Bladensburg, where both parties had been staying in seclusion for several weeks. While this wasn't confirmed, the planetary Civilian Space Transit department did confirm that at the time, there were more than 70 assorted vessels present at the local zenith jump point, with several other DropShips inbound.[24]
