Planetary History
Originally a world within the Outworlds Alliance, Bad News was occupied by forces from the Star League in November 2572 under the terms of Directive 21.[14] Originally, these forces consisted of a battalion of infantry and a battalion of BattleMechs drawn from VI Corps on a rotating basis, with different battalions assigned each year. When General Amos Forlough was put in command of the forces that would be used to conduct Operation UNION HOLD, the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, he increased the garrison on Bad News by adding another infantry battalion and reducing the rotation time for garrison forces to once every two years[1]
By early to mid 2581, preparations for an invasion of the Alliance had reached the point where Star League Defense Force troops were actively being marshalled on the border, and two full divisions of Star League troops from V Corps, the 13th Royal Division and the 14th Division, were deployed onto Bad News. Aided by the local knowledge gained by the garrison forces from VI Corps, the V Corps divisions rapidly disarmed the local militia and the Star League assumed actual control of Bad News.[1]
Bad News remained quiet during the first year of the war, but in 2582 the redeployment of Star League forces led to the auxiliary Draconis Combine forces which were supporting the SLDF task force taking over responsibility for Bad News from the Star League forces. In 2583, the Bad News DCMS garrison force was the 3rd Dieron Regulars, who were designated as the reserve force for those Combine forces deployed to invade the nearby worlds of Nexus Ri, Kazanka and Zlatousi.[15]
Although individual battalions of the 3rd Dieron Regulars were moved forward as garrisons to Nexus Ri, Kazanka and Zlatousi in 2583[15] a battalion of BattleMechs supported by two regiments each of infantry and armor remained as the garrison on Bad News, and had been terrorizing the population since becoming the de facto garrison. Following the battles on Haynesville, the Outworlds Alliance Militia had been able to add two new BattleMech regiments to its strength using salvaged material, and this allowed the Pitcairn Legion to raid into territory occupied by Star League and Draconis Combine forces. Bad News was selected as a target for one of these raids, and the 2nd Regiment of the Pitcairn Legion under the command of Colonel Samantha Milton-Jones made planetfall on Bad News on the 13th of March 2583.[3]
Milton-Jones immediately focussed her attention on the 3rd Dieron forces, despite a counter-attack on the 14th of March by a scratch force of Kurita 'Mechs and armor which had been undergoing work in a makeshift depot the Combine forces had established on Bad News. The Pitcairn Legion forces not only saw off this counter-attack and every subsequent attack, but also spent the next three weeks all but destroying the 3rd Dieron Regulars' Mech battalion and inflicting heavy damage on the supporting armor regiments. The Legion troops only retreated off-world when a Combine WarShip appeared in-system.[3]
On the 1st of August 2585 Bad News was formally ceded to the Draconis Combine along with 13 other worlds as a part of the terms laid out within the Treaty of Cerberus.[16]
