Owner History

Overview

Dieron was one of the worlds abandoned by the Terran Alliance following the Outer Reaches Rebellion and the Demarcation Declaration of 2242,[19] but Dieron was incorporated into the Terran Hegemony within a century, becoming one of the worlds within the Lone Star Province.[20][22]

The Word of Blake captured Dieron after an assault on the 4th of February 3068, occupying the world and incorporating it into the Word of Blake Protectorate. While Coordinator Theodore Kurita remained comatose following his stroke in January, his son and heir Hohiro led a task force to Dieron to try and oust the Blakists on the 16th of April, but the campaign was marked by Hohiro's capture by Blakist forces on the 18th of June, leading to the DCMS reporting Hohiro as "missing, presumed dead."[23] However, in contrast to reports of his apparent demise, a group apparently including surviving members of the Royal Black Watch rescued Hohiro alive from a Blakist prison camp on Dieron on the 4th of January 3069.[27]

Dieron would stay in Blakist hands for years, but during Operation SCOUR a massive allied coalition task force drawn from the DCMS and Clan Ghost Bear led the assault to recapture Dieron. The campaign began on the 8th of October and would last for several months before Dieron was free.[24] In January 3078 the Draconis Combine and Ghost Bear commands deployed the newly-liberated Northwind Highlanders to Dieron to accelerate the mop-up operations against Blakist holdouts.[28]

The Blakist forces on Dieron represented one of the largest commitments by the Word of Blake during the Jihad; in terms of ground support the Blakists had deployed a task force consisting of Protectorate Militia Divisions from Acamar, Asta, Fletcher, Liberty and Milton, along with the 2nd, 3rd, 14th, 19th and 23rd Militia Divisions.[29] Backing up the ground forces was a substantial naval force - substantial enough that no less than ten Blakist WarShips were destroyed or captured during the campaign, more capital ship losses for the Word of Blake than any other battle of the Jihad save the battle for Terra in 3078. From their core fleet, the Word of Blake lost three vessels, the Baron-class WoBS Light of Glory, the Essex-class WoBS Dawning Horizon and the Lola III-class WoBS End of Wisdom.[30] The Blakists also lost seven WarShips from their fleet of vessels suborned from the Free Worlds League navy: the Zechetinu-class FWLS Karelia and FWLS Tirana, the Zechetinu II-class FWLS Araneida, the Agamemnon-class FWLS Aineas, the Eagle-class FWLS Mordred and FWLS Tristram and the Thera-class FWLS Sardis - although the latter was captured rather than destroyed, and would be pressed into service by Clan Snow Raven[30] as the renamed SRS Raven's Nest.[31]

During their retreat from Dieron the Blakists attacked the military industry on Dieron, damaging the Luthien Armor Works and Terada factories so badly that by mid-3081 the plants were considered a complete write-off that wouldn't be worth attempting to rebuild.[32]
