Despite the harsh climate on Dahar IV, the plentiful deposits of ores and minerals attracted colonists to the planet; the taxing environment led to local engineers creating some of the most advanced mining equipment to be found anywhere in the [[Inner Sphere]], equipment which was then licensed to other worlds with the income from the licenses being used to raise the standard of living on Dahar.<ref name=FCCW190/> At some point before the 31st Century, the people of Dahar IV stopped using family names.<ref name=GDLp17>''Gray Death Legion (scenario pack)'', p. 17</ref>

On the 19th of February [[2830]] Coordinator Jinjiro Kurita launched simultaneous offensives against the Federated suns and Lyran Commonwealth. [[Operation AKAI KAZE]] - RED WIND - was the offensive launched against the Federated Suns; while the main targets of AKAI KAZE were the [[Franklin]], [[Lucerne]] and [[Sakhara V]] systems, ten assorted systems were also hit by heavy raids, intended to distract and disorient the AFFS.<ref name="SSWp31">''Second Succession War'', p. 31, "The Dragon Strikes: Black Wind, Red Wind"</ref>

Overall command of the assaults on Franklin and Lucerne lay with ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Chosokabe Motochika]], and the AFFs forces on both worlds put up a heavy defense. In late May, Motochika requested permission for his forces to withdraw, in the face of ferocious resistance and near-suicidal attacks from the defenders, rather than seeing the units under his command destroyed for little profit. After six weeks with no response, Motochika ordered his troops to retreat, only to find that his request had never been sent. Knowing that retreating without orders would result in an order for him to atone via ''[[seppuku]]'', Motochika decided to drive deeper into the Federated Suns and led his troops to [[Dahar IV]].<ref name="SSWp34">''Second Succession War'', p. 34-35, "The Dragon Strikes: Black Wind, Red Wind"</ref>

Once at Dahar IV, Motochika played an elaborate deception on the defending Twenty-third Avalon Hussars, landing with the [[Ninth Benjamin Regulars]] under a flag of truce and stating his wish to defect. Believing that lulling the enemy into a false sense of security was a legitimate stratagem of war, Motochika played the confused AFFS officers along, submitting to searches and agreeing to be taken into custody; aiding his deception was his reputation as an honorable opponent in both the First and Second Succession Wars, one who eschewed the use of nuclear weapons. As the Hussars took Motochika into custody, his other forces in orbit - another three regiments, two of them 'Mech regiments - landed on Dahar IV, closing their trap on the suddenly-besieged Hussars. Although Motochika committed suicide while imprisoned, his troops inflicted heavy damage on the Hussars, destroying all bar a battalion of the Hussars in the initial attack and then rampaging across Dahar IV, razing what had been a pristine industrial planet. When Jinjiro Kurita received word of their success, he granted permission for the DCMS forces to withdraw, as Motochika had hoped.<ref name="SSWp34"/><ref name="HKp63">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 63, "The Dahar Incident"</ref>

Dahar IV is the fourth planet in the system and has two moons named Drakhor and Drakkon.[1]

Planetary History

Despite the harsh climate on Dahar IV, the plentiful deposits of ores and minerals attracted colonists to the planet; the taxing environment led to local engineers creating some of the most advanced mining equipment to be found anywhere in the Inner Sphere, equipment which was then licensed to other worlds with the income from the licenses being used to raise the standard of living on Dahar.[1] At some point before the 31st Century, the people of Dahar IV stopped using family names.[6]

Succession Wars

First Succession War

Dahar was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[7] Dahar IV was liberated by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns in 2814 as part of the third and final major AFFS counteroffensive of the First Succession War against the Draconis Combine.[8]

Second Succession War

On the 19th of February 2830 Coordinator Jinjiro Kurita launched simultaneous offensives against the Federated suns and Lyran Commonwealth. Operation AKAI KAZE - RED WIND - was the offensive launched against the Federated Suns; while the main targets of AKAI KAZE were the Franklin, Lucerne and Sakhara V systems, ten assorted systems were also hit by heavy raids, intended to distract and disorient the AFFS.[9]

Overall command of the assaults on Franklin and Lucerne lay with Tai-sho Chosokabe Motochika, and the AFFs forces on both worlds put up a heavy defense. In late May, Motochika requested permission for his forces to withdraw, in the face of ferocious resistance and near-suicidal attacks from the defenders, rather than seeing the units under his command destroyed for little profit. After six weeks with no response, Motochika ordered his troops to retreat, only to find that his request had never been sent. Knowing that retreating without orders would result in an order for him to atone via seppuku, Motochika decided to drive deeper into the Federated Suns and led his troops to Dahar IV.[10]

Once at Dahar IV, Motochika played an elaborate deception on the defending Twenty-third Avalon Hussars, landing with the Ninth Benjamin Regulars under a flag of truce and stating his wish to defect. Believing that lulling the enemy into a false sense of security was a legitimate stratagem of war, Motochika played the confused AFFS officers along, submitting to searches and agreeing to be taken into custody; aiding his deception was his reputation as an honorable opponent in both the First and Second Succession Wars, one who eschewed the use of nuclear weapons. As the Hussars took Motochika into custody, his other forces in orbit - another three regiments, two of them 'Mech regiments - landed on Dahar IV, closing their trap on the suddenly-besieged Hussars. Although Motochika committed suicide while imprisoned, his troops inflicted heavy damage on the Hussars, destroying all bar a battalion of the Hussars in the initial attack and then rampaging across Dahar IV, razing what had been a pristine industrial planet. When Jinjiro Kurita received word of their success, he granted permission for the DCMS forces to withdraw, as Motochika had hoped.[10][11]

As late as the thirty-first century the Dahar Draconis March Militia maintained a training facility on Bauxum, the more lightly populated of the two continents. Bauxum - known to the locals as "Hell's Kitchen" - was used as a training area by the Militia to prepare its troops for combat in the harsh environments found across the planet.[1]
