Overview
After the failed Dieron Strike Katana Tormark needed to secure materials to support her coming war effort. Addicks was chosen as one of the worlds to be raided. Landing on the 3rd of November, the Dragon's Fury launched an assault to capture the planetary oil fields. The Fury's attack on the Weyland Industrial Complex near Neo Cartagia was repulsed by forces from the Northwind Highlanders, stationed near the oil fields by Tara Campbell in anticipation of just such an attack.[2]
Prelude
On 18 June 3132, Senator Kev Rosse announced the results of a Republic Geological Resources survey of Prefecture III. Republic Geological Resources had made the largest find in its history: a vast supply of high-grade crude oil on Addicks, in the western portion of the continent Sparro.[6] Over ten billion tons of oil awaited extraction,[3] and Rosse immediately directed prefecture funds towards resource development.[6]
On 7 August 3132, HPG communications collapsed across the Sphere, and the Republic descended to war.[7]
Katana Tormark, Prefect of Prefecture III and head of the pro-Draconis Combine splinter group Dragon's Fury, saw in Addicks the fuel to supply her forces. She assigned Tai-i Danni Haag the task of taking what seemed an undefended planet.[3]
