Overview
The Battle of Nashira refers collectively to a series of conflicts that took place on the planet of Nashira during the War of 3039 from May to November of that year. The battle was precipitated by the Federated Commonwealth's invasion of Draconis Combine territory along the borders of the Draconis March as part of Operation STURMHAMMER, an invasion based on the pretext of liberating former Davion-controlled worlds from alleged Draconis tyranny.[1] Like many of the battles of the War of 3039, it was a costly affair that resulted in little to no changes in the border's status quo.
Prelude
Operation STURMHAMMER (Storm Hammer) was launched as a joint offensive thrust from both Lyran Commonwealth and Federated Suns territory into the Draconis Combine's Dieron Military District, with the objective of isolating pockets of Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery and cutting them off from reinforcement and resupply. Additionally, the thrust would serve to prevent the DCMS from fully responding to worlds captured during the planned second and third waves of the offensive and would provide the allies with additional planets from which to launch attacks. Since the worlds targeted by Operation STURMHAMMER were for the most part farming and water colonies garrisoned by simple planetary militias, the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth units attached to the operation did not expect to encounter much resistance. Strategic coordinators predicted that the real fighting would come during the expected Combine counterattacks after the worlds were secured. Nashira was among the worlds to be secured during Operation STURMHAMMER.[2]
