| + | Fletcher VII - more commonly known simply as Fletcher - is the seventh planet in the system and has been home to a number of notable manufacturing facilities during its history.<ref name="DARWp75"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Planetary History == | ||
| + | === Early History === | ||
| + | Previously unermarkable, Fletcher became home to [[House Fletcher]], a notable family from the [[Fletcher (FWL)|Fletcher]] system located in [[Free Worlds League]] space. Loyal supporters of [[House Marik]], House Fletcher relocated to this Fletcher in dramatic fashion - along with their millions of followers - after the [[Duke]] of [[Oriente]] attacked their homeworld in [[2368]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> A [[Terran Hegemony]] world, Fletcher grew to be a major industrial world, with a number of defense manufacturers operating facilities on the planet including [[StarCorps Industries]], [[Flame Tech]],<ref name="Mercs">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 18, "Fletcher: Off the Record Books"</ref> [[Caletra Fighters]] and [[Yelm Weapons]].<ref name="DARWp75"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | During the [[Age of War]] Fletcher became the burial site of [[Chancellor]] [[Aleisha Liao]], the Chancellor best remembered for authoring the [[Ares Conventions]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> The Hegemony insisted on Fletcher being Aleisha's final resting place in recognition of her contributions towards civilizing warfare,<ref name="DARWp75"/> and other Chancellors would later also choose Fletcher as their final resting place.<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/><ref name="DARWp75"/> For many years convention maintained that [[House Davion]] and [[House Marik]] refrained from launching attacks on Fletcher accordingly.<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === First Succession War === | ||
| + | Following the fall of the Terran Hegemony, Fletcher was occupied by the Capellan Confederation.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 45, "First Succession War"</ref> The amount of force involved was apparently sufficient to convince the Hegemony militia forces garrisoning the world not to forcibly resist.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 27, "Better the Devil you Know"</ref> Like many Hegemony worlds, the numerous conflicts over Fletcher during the [[First Succession War]]caused the destruction of much of the planet's industrial infrastructure.<ref name="Mercs"/><ref name="DARWp75"/> By the end of the First Succession War only the Flame Tech factories were still manufacturing, out of all the former defense facilities.<ref name="DARWp75"/> Fletcher became little more than a funeral world, albeit a self-sufficient one.<ref name="DARWp75"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Third Succession War === | ||
| + | Fletcher was attacked by the Federated Suns a number of times during the [[Third Succession War]]. In [[2985]] Fletcher was under siege by the [[AFFS]]; defending Fletcher were several units including [[Kingston's Legionnaires]]<ref name="HL(TCC)p85"/> [[Lockhardt's Ironsides]]<ref name="HL(TCC)p99A">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 99, "Lockhardt's Ironsides"</ref> and the newly-reconstituted [[St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p99">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 99, "St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers"</ref> The Legionnaires had the misfortune of tangling with the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars]], losing a third of their strength in the opening battles and then, due to poor communications, failing to receive orders to fall back, that led to the Hussars destroying three-fifths of the Legionnaires before the mercenaries fell back.<ref name="HL(TCC)p85">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 85, "Kingston's Legionnaires"</ref> The Grenadiers fared little better, also losing many men and much of it's materiel in battles with the AFFS.<ref name="HL(TCC)p99"/> In contrast with the Grenadiers and Legionnaires, Lockhardt's Ironsides gained a reputation as a really good command for their role in the battle for Fletcher.<ref name="HL(TCC)p99A"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | In [[3024]] AFFS forces attacked [[Epsilon Eridani]] and Fletcher, but the mercenary unit [[Laurel's Legion]] were able to blunt the attacks.<ref name="HL(TCC)p96">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 96, "Laurel's Legion"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Operation GUERRERO === | ||
| + | Only lightly garrisoned by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] due to the limited industrial value of the world and military commitments in light of the [[Clan Invasion]], Fletcher was a ripe target for attack by the Capellan-backed [[Zhanzeng de Guang]] terrorists. An attempted unsupported conquest by the guerrillas during the [[Operation GUERRERO]] attacks on the Federated Commonwealth destroyed the planetary HPG station, plunging the world into a communications blackout relative to most Inner Sphere planets.<ref name="Mercs"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the wake of that destruction and the failure to impose outside order, Fletcher devolved into a series of city-states, which created an opportunity for illicit activities, including under-the-table contracts to mercenaries. The capital city, Royce, was one of the few areas with some degree of stability due it falling under the control of militia units who were inspired by the ideals of the Federated Commonwealth but who were not loyal to the government of that state. The spaceport was maintained during this period, permitting space-based trade with other city-states as well as supporting offworld trade, a situation considered safer due to the presence of heavily-armed pirates and bandits on overland routes.<ref name="Mercs"/> the site of the destroyed HPG turned into an illicit hiring hall frequented by disreputable mercenaries who often found themselves taking on work that the [[MRBC]] would refuse to sanction. The Royce Hiring Center had strict no-weapons policies enforced by a large, well-armed security force and permitted discrete meetings between commands looking for work and the employers who offered it. Negotiations were not guaranteed by any party and betrayals were common.<ref name="Mercs"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === FedCom Civil War === | ||
| + | Following the eruption of the [[FedCom Civil War]], Capellan-aligned irregulars once again attempted to seize control of Fletcher, successfully taking over some outlying areas. While the Confederation declared itself victorious due to the breadth of territory controlled, the matter was still contested in some quarters.<ref name="Mercs"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === The Jihad === | ||
| + | Fletcher was attacked by the Word of Blake in late [[3067]], part of a campaign that saw the Blakists incorporate Fletcher into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] by the 30th of December, along with the nearby worlds of [[Epsilon Indi]] and [[Tall Trees]].<ref name="J:FRp44">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 44, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Shortly after crushing the opposition, the Word shut down all mercenary hiring and converted the Hall to a detention center.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 21, "Fletcher's mercenary halls being closed by the Word of Blake and mercenaries being detained are noted".</ref> Having captured Fletcher, the Blakists largely ignored the planet for the remainder of the Jihad.<ref name="DARWp75"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | In late 3077, the world was liberated during the Federated Suns thrust toward Terra by the [[First Davion Guards]] and [[2nd Army (ComStar)|ComStar's Second Army]]. Operating as a part of Group II on the Federated Suns front of [[Operation SCOUR]], the First Davion Guards were commanded by [[Connor Sortek]], while [[Galen Cox]] led the [[Com Guard]] forces; the campaign for Fletcher was recorded as having been brief by the media in the Federated Suns, with the allied coalition forces delivering far more damage than they received, crushing the defending Blakist forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp39+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 39-40, "Ingress, Fletcher Fall"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === The Dark Age === | ||
| + | Elements of [[Clan Wolf]] chose to resettle on Fletcher during the [[Dark Age]], having decided to resettle within the [[Republic of the Sphere]], and restored many of the [[Star League era]] factories before using them to manufacture civilian machinery.<ref name="DARWp75"/> | ||

Fletcher VII
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Fletcher VII - more commonly known simply as Fletcher - is the seventh planet in the system and has been home to a number of notable manufacturing facilities during its history.[1]
Planetary History
Early History
Previously unermarkable, Fletcher became home to House Fletcher, a notable family from the Fletcher system located in Free Worlds League space. Loyal supporters of House Marik, House Fletcher relocated to this Fletcher in dramatic fashion - along with their millions of followers - after the Duke of Oriente attacked their homeworld in 2368.[2] A Terran Hegemony world, Fletcher grew to be a major industrial world, with a number of defense manufacturers operating facilities on the planet including StarCorps Industries, Flame Tech,[5] Caletra Fighters and Yelm Weapons.[1]
During the Age of War Fletcher became the burial site of Chancellor Aleisha Liao, the Chancellor best remembered for authoring the Ares Conventions.[2] The Hegemony insisted on Fletcher being Aleisha's final resting place in recognition of her contributions towards civilizing warfare,[1] and other Chancellors would later also choose Fletcher as their final resting place.[2][1] For many years convention maintained that House Davion and House Marik refrained from launching attacks on Fletcher accordingly.[2]
First Succession War
Following the fall of the Terran Hegemony, Fletcher was occupied by the Capellan Confederation.[6] The amount of force involved was apparently sufficient to convince the Hegemony militia forces garrisoning the world not to forcibly resist.[7] Like many Hegemony worlds, the numerous conflicts over Fletcher during the First Succession Warcaused the destruction of much of the planet's industrial infrastructure.[5][1] By the end of the First Succession War only the Flame Tech factories were still manufacturing, out of all the former defense facilities.[1] Fletcher became little more than a funeral world, albeit a self-sufficient one.[1]
Third Succession War
Fletcher was attacked by the Federated Suns a number of times during the Third Succession War. In 2985 Fletcher was under siege by the AFFS; defending Fletcher were several units including Kingston's Legionnaires[8] Lockhardt's Ironsides[9] and the newly-reconstituted St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers.[10] The Legionnaires had the misfortune of tangling with the Forty-second Avalon Hussars, losing a third of their strength in the opening battles and then, due to poor communications, failing to receive orders to fall back, that led to the Hussars destroying three-fifths of the Legionnaires before the mercenaries fell back.[8] The Grenadiers fared little better, also losing many men and much of it's materiel in battles with the AFFS.[10] In contrast with the Grenadiers and Legionnaires, Lockhardt's Ironsides gained a reputation as a really good command for their role in the battle for Fletcher.[9]
In 3024 AFFS forces attacked Epsilon Eridani and Fletcher, but the mercenary unit Laurel's Legion were able to blunt the attacks.[11]
Operation GUERRERO
Only lightly garrisoned by the Federated Commonwealth due to the limited industrial value of the world and military commitments in light of the Clan Invasion, Fletcher was a ripe target for attack by the Capellan-backed Zhanzeng de Guang terrorists. An attempted unsupported conquest by the guerrillas during the Operation GUERRERO attacks on the Federated Commonwealth destroyed the planetary HPG station, plunging the world into a communications blackout relative to most Inner Sphere planets.[5]
In the wake of that destruction and the failure to impose outside order, Fletcher devolved into a series of city-states, which created an opportunity for illicit activities, including under-the-table contracts to mercenaries. The capital city, Royce, was one of the few areas with some degree of stability due it falling under the control of militia units who were inspired by the ideals of the Federated Commonwealth but who were not loyal to the government of that state. The spaceport was maintained during this period, permitting space-based trade with other city-states as well as supporting offworld trade, a situation considered safer due to the presence of heavily-armed pirates and bandits on overland routes.[5] the site of the destroyed HPG turned into an illicit hiring hall frequented by disreputable mercenaries who often found themselves taking on work that the MRBC would refuse to sanction. The Royce Hiring Center had strict no-weapons policies enforced by a large, well-armed security force and permitted discrete meetings between commands looking for work and the employers who offered it. Negotiations were not guaranteed by any party and betrayals were common.[5]
FedCom Civil War
Following the eruption of the FedCom Civil War, Capellan-aligned irregulars once again attempted to seize control of Fletcher, successfully taking over some outlying areas. While the Confederation declared itself victorious due to the breadth of territory controlled, the matter was still contested in some quarters.[5]
The Jihad
Fletcher was attacked by the Word of Blake in late 3067, part of a campaign that saw the Blakists incorporate Fletcher into the Word of Blake Protectorate by the 30th of December, along with the nearby worlds of Epsilon Indi and Tall Trees.[12] Shortly after crushing the opposition, the Word shut down all mercenary hiring and converted the Hall to a detention center.[13] Having captured Fletcher, the Blakists largely ignored the planet for the remainder of the Jihad.[1]
In late 3077, the world was liberated during the Federated Suns thrust toward Terra by the First Davion Guards and ComStar's Second Army. Operating as a part of Group II on the Federated Suns front of Operation SCOUR, the First Davion Guards were commanded by Connor Sortek, while Galen Cox led the Com Guard forces; the campaign for Fletcher was recorded as having been brief by the media in the Federated Suns, with the allied coalition forces delivering far more damage than they received, crushing the defending Blakist forces.[14]
The Dark Age
Elements of Clan Wolf chose to resettle on Fletcher during the Dark Age, having decided to resettle within the Republic of the Sphere, and restored many of the Star League era factories before using them to manufacture civilian machinery.[1]
