====Early History====
 
 
When [[Shiro Kurita]] launched his invasion of the [[Principality of Rasalhague]] in an attempt to annex the Principality and add it to the [[Draconis Combine]] during the 2330s and 2340s the brutalities inflicted by the Combine forces were such that many of the survivors fled from the Principality. In some instances, survivors from one or more Principality worlds banded together to found new colonies. Craftsmen and artists from both '''Kufstein''' and [[Predlitz]] joined with technicians from [[St. John]] and engineers from [[New Bergen]] to settle the worlds of [[Bensinger]], [[Steelton]] and [[Toland]]. All three worlds were on the outer reaches of settled human space, cold and icy worlds that would subsequently be courted by the growing [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref name="TP1Ep17"/>

Kufstein was one of a number of strategically important systems in the Lyran Commonwealth to be subjected to bombardment by the Draconis Combine between [[2786]] and [[2790]], as the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the [[Bolan Thumb]] while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="FSWp62">''First Succession War'', p. 62: "The War of Raids: House Steiner's Succession War"</ref>

====Clan Invasion====

=== Clan Invasion ===
 
In August [[3050]], as part of the Fourth Wave of [[Operation Revival]], Kufstein was invaded by [[Trinary|Trinaries]] First and Second Striker of [[Clan Wolf]]'s [[11th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|11th Wolf Guards]].  They were opposed by the 1st and 4th Kufstein Planetary Guard Brigades, which fought the invaders at Inston Beck, Nalley Valley and the Crow River; the extreme southern latitudes of these battle sites meant all of the fighting took place in nighttime conditions.  The defenders were particularly ferocious during the battle, especially the all-woman 2nd Kufstein Mechanized Regiment, but remarkably the Wolf warriors took only light casualties during the seven-day conquest of the planet.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 62</ref>
