Planetary History

Clan Invasion

In early November 3051 Cusset was one of the first worlds attacked by Clan Wolf during the Fifth Wave of the resumed Operation REVIVAL. The Choyer and Gurbeng Garrison Clusters faced off against the First and Third Cusset Militia Divisions, two battalions of old 'Mechs and six regiments of tanks and infantry, at Redbrook Glen, Sandal's Woods and Nixon Bluffs. While the freeborn warriors had little difficulty handling the militia forces, many more fell after the battle to the Cusset Crud, a virulent virus even the Clans' medical technology could not defeat.[18]

Jihad

In early March 3069 Clan Wolf took advantage of the Clan Jade Falcon attacks on the Lyran Alliance to launch their own attacks on several Falcon-held worlds. Cusset was one of the worlds the wolves conquered in the first two weeks of March.[25]
