== Planetary History ==
=== Reunification War ===
Bryceland was occupied by forces from the [[Star League Defense Force]] during the first wave of attacks on the Outworlds Alliance in [[2581]] as a part of the forcible incorporation of the [[Periphery]] States into the [[Star League]] following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]]. The Star League force responsible for capturing Bryceland was the [[14th Brigade|Fourteenth Brigade]] of [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]], under the command of [[Lieutenant General]] [[Kern Peleshenko]].<ref name="H:RWp112"/>

In contrast to later conquests during the war against the Outworlds Alliance, the landings on Bryceland were relatively civilized; Lt. Gen Peleshenko landed forces around the Bryceland capital of Golden Bay on the 26th of July having already announced the presence of his Brigade on arrival within the system, and his landing zones and order of battle as his [[DropShip|DropShips]] entered orbit. The defensive garrison had little chance against a complete Brigade of SLDF troops; after probing attacks on the 27th, the Fourteenth Brigade made a full attack on the 28th, breaking the Alliance lines in 10 minutes and the bulk of the Alliance infantry in 30 minutes, leaving the remaining [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] units to be picked apart by Fourteenth Brigade units. The Governor of Bryceland officially surrendered the planet on the 29th of July.<ref name="H:RWp112"/>

In [[2583]] the SLDF [[37th Royal Brigade|Thirty-seventh Royal Brigade]] was transferred to Bryceland at the orders of the [[SLDF Task Force Outworlds]] commander, [[General]], [[Amos Furlough]], following events that shattered the brigade on [[Haynesville]], and the Brigade would remain on Bryceland until the end of the campaign.<ref name="H:RWp123">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 123, "Maneuvers Politic... and Military"</ref> 

[[House Davion]] forces attempted to annex Bryceland in [[2584]], following SLDF redeployments removed units from occupied worlds in the Outworlds Alliance to fight against the [[Taurian Concordat]], but the attempt was successfully thwarted by [[Hehiro Kurita]],<ref name="H:RWp125">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126, "Year Four: Slow Grind"</ref> and on 25 July [[2585]] Bryceland was formally seceeded to the [[Draconis Combine]] as a part of the terms laid out within the [[Treaty of Cerberus]].<ref name="H:RWp126">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126, "Year Five: Peace In Our Time"</ref>

===Star League===
During the final years of the [[Star League]], Bryceland was the host to a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 256, "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref>

=== Succession Wars ===
In 3054 [[Fuchida's Fusiliers]] raided the planet, destroying several factories and causing major damage to Fantos Island, the planet's center of agriculture, causing a planetary economic depression, which was overcome only through hard work and the leadership of the planetary ruler, Duke [[Morris Davion-Harland]].<ref name="R&Rp5">''Royalty and Rogues'' p. 5</ref> 

In 3056, the planet suffered raids from a group of [[Pirates|pirates]] named [[Silver's Slayers]], led by a man named [[Vince Silver]]. The local garrison, Bryceland's Royal Guard, was unable to stop the pirates, who always escaped almost intact. The Slayers crippled Fanto island during most of their raids, and in 3057, captured the Duke's heir, [[Samantha Davion-Harland]] before escaping into the [[Periphery]]. The Duke hired a group of [[Mercenaries|mercenaries]] to rescue her, and the mercenaries followed the Slayers to the Periphery world of [[Antallos]]. After finding the pirates, the mercenaries discovered that Samantha hadn't been kidnapped, but had in fact escaped with the pirates willingly. Worse still, the mercenaries learned that the commander of Bryceland Royal Guard, General [[Amon Freeder]], had hired the Slayers to raid the planet and capture Samantha, planning to depose the Duke and take his place. The mercenaries and pirates joined forces temporarily, returned together to Bryceland, and after a daring assault defeated the Royal Guard and arrested Freeder.<ref name="R&Rp7">''Royalty and Rogues'' p. 7</ref>

===The Jihad===
Forces of the Kuritan [[Black Dragon Society]] raided Bryceland for supplies on the 4th of June [[3075]], but their raid was unsuccessful; the [[AFFS]] commander on Bryceland had the demolition charges within the underground storage bunkers detonated to prevent the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' from capturing any of the materiel or weapons contained within them.<ref name="JHS:Tp17">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 17, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The Black Dragons had apparently managed to land more than two [[regiment]]s of mixed infantry on Bryceland, including [[Battle Armor]] squads equipped with [[Kanazuchi]] suits aboard an ''[[Overlord]]''-class [[DropShip]] that avoided detection by using a civilian ''[[Mammoth]]''-class DropShip to obscure its signal. Even before the Black Dragon DropShip landed, the organization had apparently infiltrated commandos onto Bryceland at least three months earlier, and those commandos struck with devastating results as their fellows landed. The insurgents used a fuel-air bomb on one of the main militia barracks, wiping out half of Alpha Command; General Haig, the commander of the militia, had the option to allow them to retreat with a substantial quantity of salvageable equipment from the Bryceland Mothball Storage fields, but when the Black Dragons found the nuclear weapons that had been stored there, Haig decided he had no choice other than to activate the demolition charges built into the facilities and destroy the equipment stored there. Casualties among the Bryceland militia forces at the Storage facilities numbered in the hundreds and included General Haig's son.<ref name="JHS3076p38">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 38, "Buried Dragon"</ref>
