Planetary History
Age of War
Following a string of defeats between 2416 and 2418 at the hands of Captain-General Peter Marik, the Lyran Commonwealth launched a renewed attack on the Free Worlds League in 2420. Due to political maneuverings within the Free Worlds League Parliament the creation of the War Powers Act strongly curtailed the powers of the Captain-General, leaving Peter Marik unwilling to accept the role again; Parliament appointed one of Peter Marik's officers, a respected general named Joseph Stewart to the role, but while Stewart was a capable officer he lacked the grasp of strategy needed for interstellar warfare. As a result, the Lyran offensive captured Danais as well as the nearby world of Amity before routing Stewart's League forces in the Concord system.[4]
Second Succession War
The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces conquered Danais in February 2841 as the Free Worlds League Military attempted to mount a defense of the important industrial world of Irian in the face of highly successful offensives by both the Commonwealth and the Capellan Confederation that had begun years before while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction during the ComStar War.[8] Danais would remain in the hands of the Lyran Commonwealth until FWLM forces retook the planet in 2843; one of the FWLM casualties during the battle was William Marik, a Marauder pilot and younger brother of Captain-General Gerald Marik.[9]
Third Succession War
In 3007 the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces raided Danais, capturing the entire command staff of the Twenty-first Marik Militia in the process; this ignominious defeat led to the Twenty-first being disbanded as a command.[16]
