Planetary History
By the end of the Reunification War the Devil's Rock system was a member of the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony.[2]
Devil's Rock is a mostly unremarkable world. With an economy based on trade it possesses a large number of spaceports across the planet's surface. In addition to the legitimate trade, criminal organizations have also settled the world. Though many controlling factions have attempted to destroy these black market operations, none have been successful.[6]
On the 31st of October Republic of the Sphere-affiliated forces attempted to ambush surviving elements of the 49th Shadow Division and the notorious Opacus Venatori Precentor, Berith, at the location known as the Gates of Hades on Devil's Rock. The Republican forces were acting on information provided by the intelligence operative known as Damocles, who accompanied them into battle; the ambush was actually the result of intelligence planted by Berith, who was determined to kill Damocles. In this, Berith succeeded; having goaded Damocles into a berserk, suicidal rage, three Opacus Venatori BattleMechs combined their fire on the charging Com Guard agent when he charged, killing him. The Blakist forces then retreated in good order, leaving the remaining Republican forces alive. During the ambush, Berith referred to Damocles as "Stryker".[7]
