====First Succession War====
| [[Kamenz]]
+
Finsterwalde was one of the last of the worlds in the region known as the [[Bolan Thumb]] to be captured by the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[First Succession War]]. Command of the conflict in the Bolan Theater had passed to [[Kommandant-General]] [[Aric Hasseldorf]] in [[2790]], who was keenly aware that the main focus of the Commonwealth High Command lay elsewhere. Hasseldorf's campaign relied on maintaining a regular tempo of objective raids against the embittered defenders, intended to force the [[FWLM]] commands to remain at high readiness constantly, sapping their strength, while scouts worked to identify weak points in the defenders lines and highlighted worlds ready to be conquered.<ref name="FSWp68">''First Succession War'', pp. 68–69: "League Retaliations"</ref> Despite the disruption caused by the death of [[Archon]] [[Jennifer Steiner]] and a reduction in the number of available [[JumpShip]]s and [[WarShip]]s to support his campaign, Hasseldorf continued to grind away at the FWLM forces within the Bolan Thumb.<ref name="FSWp69">''First Succession War'', pp. 69–70: "Stall and Recovery"</ref>

The Bolan Thumb campaign slowed significantly in [[2780]], but resumed apace in late [[2801]], and in [[2803]] Hasseldorf struck at Finsterwalde,<ref name="FSWp72">''First Succession War'', p. 72: "Losing Steam: Phase Three"</ref> which was defended by the [[Ninth Bolan Defenders]] and the [[Thirty-third Marik Militia]]. Hassledorf had been forced to rely on mercenary units to augment his forces for several years, and he deployed three regiments - the [[Second Lyran Guards]], [[Eleventh Arcturan Guards]] and the mercenary [[Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment]] - in the assault on Finsterwalde.<ref name="FSWp71"/> The defending FWLM forces were heavily dug-in and had reserves of both tactical nuclear and chemical weapons they were more than ready to use, as Hassledorf's forces found when the FWLM hit the Lyran landing zones with both flavors of weapon, as well as launching a surprise [[aerospace fighter]] attack against the LCAF escorts. The fighter attack stripped Hasseldorf of what little naval power left to him after fourteen years of combat, and the bitter defense put up on Finsterwalde saw both the Ninth Bolan Defenders and the Second Lyran Guards destroyed. The defense mounted on Finsterwalde was fierce enough that it forced Hasseldorf to postpone his campaign for [[Acrux]] and [[Marsalle]], the last of the Bolan Thumb systems still under League control.<ref name="FSWp72"/>

Planetary History

First Succession War

Finsterwalde was one of the last of the worlds in the region known as the Bolan Thumb to be captured by the Lyran Commonwealth during the First Succession War. Command of the conflict in the Bolan Theater had passed to Kommandant-General Aric Hasseldorf in 2790, who was keenly aware that the main focus of the Commonwealth High Command lay elsewhere. Hasseldorf's campaign relied on maintaining a regular tempo of objective raids against the embittered defenders, intended to force the FWLM commands to remain at high readiness constantly, sapping their strength, while scouts worked to identify weak points in the defenders lines and highlighted worlds ready to be conquered.[32] Despite the disruption caused by the death of Archon Jennifer Steiner and a reduction in the number of available JumpShips and WarShips to support his campaign, Hasseldorf continued to grind away at the FWLM forces within the Bolan Thumb.[33]

The Bolan Thumb campaign slowed significantly in 2780, but resumed apace in late 2801, and in 2803 Hasseldorf struck at Finsterwalde,[34] which was defended by the Ninth Bolan Defenders and the Thirty-third Marik Militia. Hassledorf had been forced to rely on mercenary units to augment his forces for several years, and he deployed three regiments - the Second Lyran Guards, Eleventh Arcturan Guards and the mercenary Twelfth Heavy Assault Regiment - in the assault on Finsterwalde.[13] The defending FWLM forces were heavily dug-in and had reserves of both tactical nuclear and chemical weapons they were more than ready to use, as Hassledorf's forces found when the FWLM hit the Lyran landing zones with both flavors of weapon, as well as launching a surprise aerospace fighter attack against the LCAF escorts. The fighter attack stripped Hasseldorf of what little naval power left to him after fourteen years of combat, and the bitter defense put up on Finsterwalde saw both the Ninth Bolan Defenders and the Second Lyran Guards destroyed. The defense mounted on Finsterwalde was fierce enough that it forced Hasseldorf to postpone his campaign for Acrux and Marsalle, the last of the Bolan Thumb systems still under League control.[34]

Dark Age

In 3115 the aerospace mercenary unit Flying Tomkats engaged the aerospace forces of the Fifth Tamarind Regulars over Finsterwalde.[35]
