−	Basalt was one of the first worlds settled by explorers from the Terran Hegemony. With its vast stores of rare metals and minerals, mining companies eagerly sent employees out to the world.

−	The Federated Suns invaded Basalt in or around [[2445]], attempting to capture the world from the Terran Hegemony. The defending Terran Forces were under the command of [[General]] "Mad Dog" Marceneaux and resisted the Federated Suns forces fiercely; on the 12th of April General Marceneaux was made aware that the Federated Suns had landed additional forces on the planet, augmenting their ranks with the addition of the [[Sixth Terran March Corps]], a shock corps consisting of six heavy [[division]]s of troops, predominantly composed of [[Combat Vehicle|tanks]] and artillery, threatening to overwhelm the defending [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] defenders. Unknown to the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] a special unit of [[BattleMech]]s under the overall command of [[Major]] [[Gabriel Calhoun]] had also recently arrived on the planet. It was Major Calhoun who informed General Marceneaux at his bunker in Garamondia of the arrival of the Sixth Terran March Corps; even as the FPF forces overran the [[HAF]] [[Ninth Armored Cavalry]] command posts and continued to push forward, Marceneaux ordered Calhoun and his troops into action against the FPF.

The most notable instance was during the [[Fourth Succession War]], when the two major cities of the world were attacked by the [[CCAF]] in an attempt to halt the Davion advance. Elements of the [[First Kerr's Intruders]], [[McCrimmon's Light Cavalry]], and [[MacGregor's Armored Scouts]] landed outside Zander's Delight.

−	The second Capellan attack was headed by a half-battalion from [[Warrior House Ijori]] supported by five companies of the [[First New Hessen Irregulars]]. They attacked unexpectedly, dropping forces directly on the warehouses in Controssa. The Fourth Crucis Lancers' Second Battalion bore the brunt of the Capellans' anger once they discovered the warehouses were empty.

With its vast stores of rare metals and minerals, mining companies eagerly sent employees out to the world. Despite the high gravity, incredible air pressure, and wild weather, the world has long been a source of excellent raw materials.<ref name=DARWp71/> === Age of War === The Federated Suns invaded Basalt in or around [[2445]], attempting to capture the world from the Terran Hegemony. The defending Terran Forces were under the command of [[General]] "Mad Dog" Marceneaux and resisted the Federated Suns forces fiercely; on the 12th of April General Marceneaux was made aware that the Federated Suns had landed additional forces on the planet, augmenting their ranks with the addition of the [[6th Terran March Corps|Sixth Terran March Corps]], a shock-corps consisting of six heavy [[division]]s of troops, predominantly composed of [[Combat Vehicle|tanks]] and artillery, threatening to overwhelm the defending [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] defenders. Unknown to the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]] a special unit of [[BattleMech]]s under the overall command of [[Major]] [[Gabriel Calhoun]] had also recently arrived on the planet. It was Major Calhoun who informed General Marceneaux at his bunker in Garamondia of the arrival of the Sixth Terran March Corps; even as the FPF forces overran the [[HAF]] [[9th Armored Cavalry|Ninth Armored Cavalry]] command posts and continued to push forward, Marceneaux ordered Calhoun and his troops into action against the FPF. The shocking presence of BattleMechs on the field was enough to rally the defending HAF forces.<ref name="IOp10"/> === Succession Wars === After the fall of the first [[Star League]] the [[Federated Suns]] grabbed Basalt. During the Succession Wars the Capellan Confederation tried several times to take the world, but was repelled each time. The most notable instance was during the [[Fourth Succession War]], when the two major cities of the world were attacked by the [[CCAF]] in an attempt to halt the Davion advance. Elements of the [[1st Kerr's Intruders|First Kerr's Intruders]], [[McCrimmon's Light Cavalry]], and [[MacGregor's Armored Scouts]] landed outside Zander's Delight. They faced the [[Fourth Davion Guards]] RCT, taking serious losses, and surrendering to the [[AFFS]] after they discovered that the warehouses were empty.<ref name="nais194">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 94</ref> The second Capellan attack was headed by a half battalion from [[Warrior House Ijori]] supported by five companies of the [[1st New Hessen Irregulars]]. They attacked unexpectedly, dropping forces directly on the warehouses in Controssa. The Fourth Crucis Lancers's Second Battalion bore the brunt of the Capellan's anger once they discovered the warehouses were empty. Unfortunately the Capellan's focus on destroying the Second Battalion allowed the rest of the Fourth Crucis to surround the Capellans. All the Capellan attackers were destroyed in the ensuing firefight.<ref name="nais194"/> The [[Word of Blake]] conquered Basalt in September [[3069]], incorporating it into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> and hoarding its mineral wealth for themselves. This resulted in a planet-wide economic depression that only started to lighten when the world became part of the Republic of the Sphere.<ref name=DARWp71/> == Political Affiliation == * [[2317]] - No record <ref name="HB:HDp18">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 18, "Federated Suns Map at their founding -
