Planetary History
Clan Invasion
As part of Operation Revival Basiliano was attacked during the Fourth Wave of Clan Wolf's advance in August 3050. After having survived their earlier encounter with Clan Wolf the lone remaining battalion of the 3rd Kavalleri had fled to the planet and linked up with the 1st Basiliano Mechanized Brigade. When the Wolves came Överste Barrie Fraga believed her troops were better prepared to face the invaders and hoped to avenge herself for their previous defeat. Unfortunately she would be fighting against Galaxy Commander Mikel Furey, one of the best tacticians in Clan Wolf, personally leading the Bronze Keshik alongside Trinaries Command, Elemental and Fighter of the 7th Battle Cluster. Galaxy Commander Mikel Furey kept Överste Fraga off-balance by launching small probing attacks at her forces in Green Kurquat while he led the Bronze Keshik in a flanking maneuver through rough terrain into her rear at Padua. In the end the two commanders faced each other in a duel which lasted nearly ten minutes before Fraga's 'Mech was destroyed and the battle ended.[10]
Jihad
Basiliano was the subject of a second attempted invasion in October 3071 when forces from Clan Hell's Horses invaded the Clan Wolf occupation zone in the Inner Sphere, attempting to annex planets to form their own holding in Spheroid space. Although the Hell's Horses troops assaulted the Wolf forces on Basiliano they only managed to establish a foothold on the world, a distinct contrast to their previous attacks up to this point.[11][12] During the first two weeks of November Clan Wolf managed to force the Hell's Horses off Basiliano, while launching counterattacks against several other worlds nearby that had been captured by the Hell's Horses.[12][13]
