Planetary History[edit]

First Succession War[edit]

New Mendham was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[12]

Post–Third Succession War[edit]

In November 3026, rumors began to circulate that a Lance of BattleMechs from Wolf's Dragoons, led by Natasha Kerensky, committed an atrocity on New Mendham in September of that same year. Two Lyran Commonwealth reporters were said to have observed the Dragoons attacking a Combine supply convoy and trashing a small town. However, no Dragoons were stationed on or near New Mendham. The attack was staged by Warlord Grieg Samsonov to further discredit the Dragoons and drive opinion against them.[46]

War of 3039[edit]

New Mendham was assaulted by the Davion Light Guards and First Chisholm's Raiders.[47] As the AFFS troops slowly spread out to pacify the world, the First Amphigean Light Assault Group and Second Amphigean Light Assault Group landed on the world. Their normal tactics of fast hit and run would be useless against the Davion Light Guards, so the Amphigean's commander called for local patriots to tie down the mobile AFFS units.[48] These tactics were effective, tying down the AFFS for three weeks. In response, the commander of the AFFS released a combat command into search and destroy operations that targeted military targets, communications, and power lines while not inflicting civilian casualties. The goal to create planetwide panic as the loyal Combine citizens couldn't figure out where the Federated forces were succeeded brilliantly. The Amphigean LAGs were forced to deal with panicked civilians, greatly slowing them. This allowed the Chisholm Raiders to attack the Amphigean units, but the opponents could never come to a significant battle. Instead they spent months fighting inconclusive battles until the AFFS High Command sent the recall order.[49]
