== Planetary History ==
===Reunification War===
Flintoft was attacked by the [[SLDF]] in March [[2581]] as part of the [[Reunification War]]. The SLDF's First Battle Fleet arrived as a [[Taurian Defense Force]] fleet was delivering fireships to the system. The Taurians deployed the fireships, and the SLDF Navy lost sixteen [[WarShip]]s. The Taurians lost nine WarShips, at least twenty [[DropShip]]s, and over a hundred fireships. Despite these losses the SLDF's [[2nd Division (SLDF)|Second]] and [[3rd Division (SLDF)|Third Division]]s landed in late March along Flintoft's industrial belt. Located in the Copper River Valley, the two Divisions came under attack by over three hundred [[conventional fighter]] aircraft. After suffering through bombing and strafing attacks, the SLDF eventually established air superiority. By July 31st, the SLDF controlled the Copper River Valley, but securing the rest of the world took another eleven months.<ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 73</ref>

===Jihad===
Flintoft was one of the first worlds to be hit during [[Operation MATADOR]], the [[AFFS]] counter-offensive against the Taurian Concordat. The first Federated Suns forces dropped onto Flintoft on the 5th of May [[3080]], with the [[BattleMech]]s of the [[Davion Assault Guards]] and [[First Syrtis Fusiliers]] leading the way. Under the command of [[General]] [[Marguerite McCaffee]] the Assault Guards dropped alongside the Syrtis Fusiliers to establish the first beachhead on the planet under cover of AFFS [[aerospace fighter]]s and [[Pocket WarShip]]s, including ''[[Arondight]]''-class [[DropShip]]s. The assault began with coordinated attacks by AFFS fighters to take control of the skies over Flintoft while key C2 networks on the surface were hit by orbital bombardment. This was followed by the Assault Guards and Syrtis Fusiliers combat drop, which was in turn quickly followed by an entire regiment of jump capable [[battle armor]], also deploying via combat drop. With the 'Mech and battle armor forces securing a beachhead, additional conventional forces quickly followed. The initial assault on Flintoft was covered by the [[Federated Suns News Service]] whose embedded journalist, [[Peter Remonde]], covered the combat drop and assault from the jump seat of General McCaffee's ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''.<ref name="J:FRp27">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 27, "Bearding The Bull"</ref> Heavily outnumbered, the two defending battalions of the [[Concordat Jaegers]] were completely wiped out within two weeks, the Assault Guards leaving the First Fusiliers to hold the world while they pushed on to secure [[Carmichael]].<ref name=FM3085p54>''Field Manual: 3085'',p.54 "Federated Suns - Operation MATADOR"</ref>
