The military operation to secure the Rim Worlds was named [[Operation MAILED FIST]] and was expected to be a short campaign; combat operations began in mid-[[2581]], and Black Earth was both the fourth Republic world to be targeted by the [[Star League Defense Force]] and the first world targeted that lacked a front-line Republican force as garrison.<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Persistence, Treeline, Star's End and Black Earth (May-December 2581)</ref>		With the Rim Worlds Republic in a state of civil war from [[2575]] even as the [[Reunification War]] was raging in the other major [[Periphery]] states, the [[Star League]] eventually found itself forced into deploying forces to secure the Republic and restore the rule of [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]].

The Ahoskie Plains formed a natural and obvious landing zone, with the DropPort, Columbia, and the industrial and mining complexes that funded the local economy forming a triangle around the Plains. By pulling defending forces away from the mining complexes to concentrate on the defense of the capital city and the DropPort, the defenders hoped to gain time while the Falcons investigated the abandoned industrial sites. By the 15th of January - ten days after an annual national holiday celebrating Black Earth's history - the defenders had received word that there would be no reinforcements due to the number of battles being fought on worlds in the region. The Planetary Militia had already effectively been destroyed, and the Blues had been reduced to roughly half strength over the course of four days of warfare.<ref name="ADH"/>	+	In late January [[3069]] Black Earth was captured for a second time by [[Clan Jade Falcon]].<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Both regiments of the [[Blue Star Irregulars]] were shattered on the ground during the Jade Falcon assault; the survivors attempted to retreat from Black Earth along with a flotilla of civilian refugees, only to be attacked again in space by Jade Falcon forces.

−	Both civilian and military leaders had made repeated requests to be allowed to evacuate elements of the civilian population, primarily children, militia veterans and the disabled - the latter rumored to be the targets of eugenics-based purges in Jade Falcon space, while the militia veterans would face punishment for their opposition to the Falcons - but the Jade Falcons refused and rejected all of the please. The heavy damage the Blues had taken meant that they had spare DropShip capacity, and two of the DropShips used to transport the [[Third Assault Avatars]] were redesignated for civilian evacuees, with the bulk of the defending forces withdrawing to form a fighting perimeter around the two vessels. When the ''[[Overlord]]''-class DropShips ''[[Heritage]]'' and ''[[Loyal Son]]'' had managed to lift off, the plan was for the Irregulars to stage a fighting withdrawal to their ships.<ref name="ADH"/>

On the surface, the planet hosts CompanyName7's FactoryName8 industrial facility [and the summer palace of ImportantPerson9], while the Industrial Satellite4 facility orbits its moon, Moon10. --> == Planetary History == The planetary capital (as of [[3069]]) was Columbia. It filled the valley that fell away from the municipal playing fields and rose half way up the wooded ridge beyond. Sandy tan and yellow were predominant building colors, with red tile roofs. The buildings were spaced enough to allow wide malls of trees and fountains; the overall impression was described as "semi-mediterranean".<ref>''A Different Hope'', p. 8</ref> The world has at least one moon. The Jade Falcon attack force that arrived in early Januard 3069 used a [[pirate jump point]] very close to the planet, giving the defenders only two hours advance warning, which was thought to imply arrival "inside lunar orbit".<ref>''A Different Hope'', p. 19</ref> ===Founding=== Black Earth was one of four worlds acquired by the Rim Worlds Republic between [[2347]] and [[2371]] as an attempt by [[Arabella Rowe]] to expand the capabilities of the Republic armed forces; Black Earth was intended to be a "hedgehog", a giant fortified firebase that Republican forces could use to slow the advance of any invading force.<ref name="TP1Ep19">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 19, "Mishka's Diplomacy"</ref> ===Rim Worlds Republic Civil War=== With the Rim Worlds Republic in a state of civil war from [[2575]] even as the [[Reunification War]] was raging in the other major [[Periphery]] states, the [[Star League]] eventually found itself forced into deploying forces to secure the Republic and restore the rule of [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]]. The military operation to secure the Rim Worlds was named [[Operation MAILED FIST]] and was expected to be a short campaign; combat operations began in mid-[[2581]], and Black Earth was both the fourth Republic world to be targeted by the [[Star League Defense Force]] and the first world targeted that lacked a front-line Republican force as garrison.<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Persistence, Treeline, Star's End and Black Earth (May-December 2581)</ref> While Operation MAILED FIST was a Star League operation, the forces committed to secure Black Earth in September 2581 were all drawn from the [[Lyran Auxiliary Corps]] headed up by [[Archon]] [[Viola Steiner]]. With Black Earth lacking regular army forces it was believed that the planet would be only lightly defended, but the landings by the [[4th Royal Guards|Fourth Royal Guards Regiment]], [[25th Skye Rangers|Twenty-Fifth Skye Rangers]] and the [[Tamar Tigers]] met stiff resistance from Republican [[AeroSpace Fighter]]s with the Rangers taking heavy damage before making groundfall, although the losses taken weren't sufficient to prevent the conquest of Black Earth.<ref name="H:RWp132"/> ===Star League Era=== Black Earth was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37"/> ===Clan Invasion=== In April of [[3050]], Clan Jade Falcon invaded Black Earth as part of the Second Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. The entire [[Gyrfalcon Galaxy]] was dispatched to conquer the world, which was defended by those survivors of both the [[First Grave Walkers]] and [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]] who had managed to escape from earlier Falcon attacks. At the Black Earth Space Port the Jade Falcon aerospace contingent surprised its Seventeenth Skye counterparts while they were still on the ground, although in a show of fairness the Falcon aerospace commander allowed the enemy pilots to get in their fighters and take off before being destroyed. When the ground attack against the space port began the Seventeenth Skye managed to resist for little over an hour against the Jade Falcons before being overrun. At New Houston the Grave Walkers set fire to the oil at one of the refineries in hopes of using the resulting black smoke to screen their forces, only to learn that such a trick was useless against the superior technology of the [[Clans]]. From opening shot to the defenders' final surrender the battle for Black Earth took less than thirty hours.<ref name="JFSB">'' Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37</ref> ===The Jihad=== In late January [[3069]] Black Earth was captured for a second time by [[Clan Jade Falcon]].<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Both regiments of the [[Blue Star Irregulars]] were shattered on the ground during the Jade Falcon assault; the survivors attempted to retreat from Black Earth along with a flotilla of civilian refugees, only to be attacked again in space by Jade Falcon forces.

The ''Kerensky's Blues'' managed to deal with the CJF ''Lightning Strike'',<ref name="MSUp11"/> but was unable to prevent the ''Congress''-class ship from butchering almost all of the fleeing Irregulars' forces before destroying the ''Blues'' as well.
