Prior to the [[Jihad]], Clipperton was a member of the three-world [[Principality of Gibson]].

When protestors set up a burning barricade outside the barracks the Hussars were using, the two regiments found themselves having to actively deploy infantry in riot gear.<ref name="JHS:Tp79">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 79, "The Push Continues"</ref>
