Battle of Tukayyid (3052)

Introduction:

The world of Tukayyid was primarily an agricultural world in the Free Rasalhague Republic at the time of the Clan invasion. The world was picked to be the site of a proxy battle fought for control of Tera between the Clans led by ilKahn Ulric Kerensky and ComStar's ComGuards led by Precenter Martial Anatasius Focht. The actual battle was broken down into ComGuard defended objectives that the Clans would try to conquer. If the majority of these targets were conquered by the Clans then Tera would be allowed to fall into which ever clan could advance to it first. If the ComGuards successfully defended the majority of the targets, then the Clans had to abide by a 15 year true with the Inner Sphere in which no Clan elements would cross the plane emanating from Tukayyid and extending to the edges of the Inner Sphere perpendicular to the Clan Occupation Zones.

The Battle:

The Clans bid fiercely for targets and perhaps were reckless in their own self-confidence and lack of respect for the ComGuards.

Result:

The ComGuards won a resounding victory at Tukayyid that stopped the Clan juggernaut in its tracks and bought the Inner Sphere 15 years to prepare for a resumption of hostilities from Clans below the truce line. The victory also elevated Precentor MartialAnatasius Focht to nothing short of a legend in the Inner Sphere and within the Clans.
