===Planetary History===

====Jihad====

| 23.09
Colfax was one of the targets of the Skye and Bolan Province invasion of the [[Free Worlds League]] in March [[3068]]. The invasion by the combined forces of the two provinces, named [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], saw Colfax occupied along with the worlds of [[Pingree]], [[Sheridan]], and [[Thermopolis]] by 30 March 3068. When Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] assumed control of the local [[Free Worlds League Military]] forces and launched [[Operation Broken Fist|Operation BROKEN FIST]]—the FWL counterattack against the invading Lyran forces—Colfax was one of his first targets, and the FWLM recaptured the world on the 2nd of July.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

+
| [[Lyran Commonwealth | LC]]
Following the dissolution of the Free Worlds League in January [[3079]], elements within the [[Lyran Alliance]] moved to annex a number of former League worlds between August and September that year. Colfax was one of seven worlds conquered during this period, and the invasion only stopped when [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Adam Steiner]] declared that any other bouts of what he termed "unauthorized adventurism" would be considered an act of treason.<ref name="J:FRp60">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 60: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
