Cerberus was a core world within the Outworlds Alliance when [[Operation UNION HOLD]] began in [[2581]]. With the intention of forcibly incorporating the Outworlds Alliance into the [[Star League]] following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]] in [[2575]] by the major [[Periphery]] states, the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance saw two corps of [[Star League Defense Force]] troops and a mixed brigade of [[DCMS]] forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

Both a regional capital and the most heavily industrialized planet within the Outworlds Alliance, Cerberus was an important world and a key target for the Star League Outworlds Alliance Task Force, under the command of [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]]. Cerberus had escaped attack until [[2583]] because of Forlough's plans to strike directly at [[Alpheratz]], but after having his plans stymied for the past two years due to political interference from [[First Prince]] [[Alexander Davion]] of the [[Federated Suns]] and [[Coordinator]] [[Hehiro Kurita]] of the [[Draconis Combine]] along with the dogged resistance being offered by the Outworlds Alliance Militia and the Alliance population, Forlough lead a large force against the planet.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

Cerberus had a strong garrison force, but Forlough landed two complete Star League Divisions on the planet in March 2583. The [[4th Royal Infantry Division|Fourth Division]] and [[5th Division|Fifth Divisions]], consisting of the Tenth through Fifteenth Brigades, defeated the Alliance forces tactically and rapidly overwhelmed them. Alliance doctrine called for infantry and armor forces to pin the Star League forces in place while the Alliance [[BattleMech]] forces acted as a mobile reserve. The Star League forces dropped directly onto Alliance militia positions, conducting a lightning assault that delivered a fatal blow to the militia on the first day of the invasion, allowing them to pick apart the Alliance Mech forces when they appeared on the second day.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

Despite the heavy losses inflicted on them, Sadova and the Alliance forces regrouped and resolved to battle the Star League forces for as long as they could, but even as the militia forces put up a valiant defense against the [[SLDF]] troops Forlough was already directing his troops to attack and lay waste to every factory, village, town and city on Cerberus, and thereby destroy the will of the population and the Alliance itself to resist.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

Cerberus remained heavily contested right up until the end of the Star League campaign against the Alliance, and the slow grind of combat there extensively damaged both the Alliance and Star League forces.

The Outworlds Alliance Militia reinforced the defenders of Cerberus with those troops available; by [[2584]] all of the [[Alliance Grenadiers]] were fighting on Cerberus, along with the [[Santiago Carabiniers]] and elements of the [[2nd Armored Division|Second Armored Division]], and the entire [[Pitcairn Legion]] arrived in August 2584.<ref name="H:RWp141"/><ref name="H:RWp126+">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126: "Negotiation"</ref>

In February of [[2585]] First Prince [[Alexander Davion]] of the [[Federated Suns]] suggested to First Lord [[Ian Cameron]] of the Star League that the Alliance might be willing to negotiate if offered a fair proposal, while his son, [[Lawrence Davion]], suggested options to Alliance President [[Grigori Avellar]]. Both Alexander and Lawrence Davion had negotiated with Avellar before - culminating in the [[Tancredi Accord]] in [[2581]] - and after four months of Davion brokering, both sides agreed to send emissaries to begin negotiations on Cerberus in June [[2585]]. The initial Alliance position had two major demands; that the Alliance and it's people be granted the same freedom as any other Star League member state, and that Amos Forlough and his subordinates be tried on [[Alpheratz]] for genocide and war crimes. Ultimately, the two teams of negotiators came to an agreement in July 2585 while the Star League and Alliance Militia forces observed a truce, and with the peace treaty - named the [[Treaty of Cerberus]] - signed on the 25th of July and coming into effect on the 1st of August, the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance was over.<ref name="H:RWp126">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126: "Year Five: Peace In Our Time"</ref>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates475.838 : 190.466[e]

The Cerberus system is home to at least one habitable world and as of 3145 was located in the Raven Alliance.[1][2] During the Star League era Cerberus was a provincial capital within the Outworlds Alliance.[3][4]

System Description

Cerberus is located near the Coraines and Quiberas systems.[1][2]

System History

The Cerberus system was colonized at some point prior to the end of the Age of War.[3]

Planetary History

Reunification War

Cerberus was a core world within the Outworlds Alliance when Operation UNION HOLD began in 2581. With the intention of forcibly incorporating the Outworlds Alliance into the Star League following the mass rejection of the Pollux Proclamation in 2575 by the major Periphery states, the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance saw two corps of Star League Defense Force troops and a mixed brigade of Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds.[7]

Both a regional capital and the most heavily industrialized planet within the Outworlds Alliance, Cerberus was an important world and a key target for the Star League Outworlds Alliance Task Force, under the command of General Amos Forlough. Cerberus had escaped attack until 2583 because of Forlough's plans to strike directly at Alpheratz, but after having his plans stymied for the past two years due to political interference from First Prince Alexander Davion of the Federated Suns and Coordinator Hehiro Kurita of the Draconis Combine along with the dogged resistance being offered by the Outworlds Alliance Militia and the Alliance population, Forlough led a large force against the planet.[7]

Cerberus had a strong garrison force, but Forlough landed two complete Star League Divisions on the planet in March 2583. The Fourth Division and Fifth Divisions, consisting of the Tenth through Fifteenth Brigades, defeated the Alliance forces tactically and rapidly overwhelmed them. Alliance doctrine called for infantry and armor forces to pin the Star League forces in place while the Alliance BattleMech forces acted as a mobile reserve. The Star League forces dropped directly onto Alliance militia positions, conducting a lightning assault that delivered a fatal blow to the militia on the first day of the invasion, allowing them to pick apart the Alliance Mech forces when they appeared on the second day.[7]

Despite the heavy losses inflicted on them, Sadova and the Alliance forces regrouped and resolved to battle the Star League forces for as long as they could, but even as the militia forces put up a valiant defense against the SLDF troops Forlough was already directing his troops to attack and lay waste to every factory, village, town and city on Cerberus, and thereby destroy the will of the population and the Alliance itself to resist.[7]

Cerberus remained heavily contested right up until the end of the Star League campaign against the Alliance, and the slow grind of combat there extensively damaged both the Alliance and Star League forces. Forlough and the Tenth Brigade left Cerberus in 2583 to conduct slash and burn raids on Quatre Belle, Mitchella, and Loparri[44] and in 2584 the entire Fourth Division was redeployed to the war against the Taurian Concordat.[45] The Fifth Division would continue to fight on Cerberus until it too was redeployed to the Taurian front in 2585, by which point three additional Star League brigades from V Corps would take over the fight: the Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth Royal Brigades and the Fortieth Brigade. The Outworlds Alliance Militia reinforced the defenders of Cerberus with those troops available; by 2584 all of the Alliance Grenadiers were fighting on Cerberus, along with the Santiago Carabiniers and elements of the Second Armored Division, and the entire Pitcairn Legion arrived in August 2584.[46][47]

In February 2585, First Prince Alexander Davion of the Federated Suns suggested to First Lord Ian Cameron of the Star League that the Alliance might be willing to negotiate if offered a fair proposal, while his son, Lawrence Davion, suggested options to Alliance President Grigori Avellar. Both Alexander and Lawrence Davion had negotiated with Avellar before—culminating in the Tancredi Accord in 2581—and after four months of Davion brokering, both sides agreed to send emissaries to begin negotiations on Cerberus in June 2585. The initial Alliance position had two major demands; that the Alliance and its people be granted the same freedom as any other Star League member state, and that Amos Forlough and his subordinates be tried on Alpheratz for genocide and war crimes. Ultimately, the two teams of negotiators came to an agreement in July 2585 while the Star League and Alliance Militia forces observed a truce, and with the peace treaty—named the Treaty of Cerberus—signed on the 25th of July and coming into effect on the 1st of August, the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance was over.[8]

Reign of the Star League

To help reduce tensions between the SLDF garrison and the populace, the local SLDF commander allowed the garrison's infantry units to help planetary law enforcement and provide security for large events. The SLDF also allowed the local planetary militia to face off against the garrison's troops for training purposes.[48]
