===History===
====Early History====
'''Galedon V''' was lightly settled for its vast supplies of industrial grade diamonds. The planet also features a large amount of fresh water. These features made it very popular with the first settlers, who arrived in [[2282]]. [[Shiro Kurita]] capitalized on the Galedonian's hatred of the [[Ozawa Mercantile Association]] to bring them into the Alliance of Galedon. By [[2332]] the Galedonians revolted against Shiro's rule. The new [[DCMS]] arrived on Galedon and killed the leaders of the revolution.<ref name="HKp181"/> They
left behind ruined cities and starving civilians, and then Shiro used its last trick on them and made them believe he was being generous and feeding them. Since then, the planet Galedon V has been a staunch supporter of the Kuritas ever since.<ref name="HKp181"/>

====The Jihad====
Between the 10th and 14th of July [[3068]] the undefended [[Draconis Combine]] worlds of [[Enif]], Galedon V and [[Tabayama]] were raided by the [[Swift Wing Naval Assault Star (Clan Snow Raven)|Swift Wing Naval Assault Star]] from [[Clan Snow Raven]]. The raids appeared to be in retaliation for the destruction of the Snow Raven [[WarShip]] [[White Cloud|CSR ''White Cloud'']] by Combine agents.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The Snow Raven forces destroyed the ''[[Kyushu]]''-class WarShip [[Galedon Explorer|DCS ''Galedon Explorer'']] in the Galedon system during their raid.<ref name="JHS:Tp30">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 30, "DCA Readiness Report"</ref> This was followed in November by an unsanctioned attack on Galedon by [[AFFS]] units stationed in the [[Draconis March]], one of a number of attacks mounted as tensions increased along the border in 3068.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The forces involved were the [[Second New Ivaarsen Chasseurs]] with mercenary support provided by [[Blacklate Mentals]], [[Brian's Bombers]], [[Colstrup's Cavalliers]] and [[Weizer Volunteers]].<ref name="TCp76">''Total Chaos'', p. 76-75, "GALEDON/AN TING"</ref>

The Draconis Combine deployed troops back to Galedon V in the first week of April [[3069]], intending to oust the rogue Federated Suns units located on the world.<ref name="J:FRp46"/> The [[AFFS]] troops wouldn't retreat until mid-May, by which time a virulent epidemic of some kind had broken out on Galedon. (Later evidence proved that this epidemic was caused by an escaped weapon from a pre-[[Age of War]] [[ISF]] facility.<ref name=tc77>''Total Chaos'', p. 77</ref>) From there, things got steadily worse for the inhabitants of Galedon; on the 1st of June, a full Star of Snow Raven WarShips arrived in the Galedon system and proceeded to destroy a number of military bases and installations on the surface of the planet. This was followed by instructions for the inhabitants of Galedon - or the "civilian castes" as the Snow Ravens described them - detailing that they had one week to evacuate the world.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

The Snow Ravens began to bombard the cities of Galedon from orbit on the 16th of June, systematically hitting city after city across the surface of the world. The planetary infrastructure collapsed quickly as the bombardment went on, with the central planetary administration gone and most of the governmental controls and transport infrastructure swiftly following. The plague which had erupted during the fighting between the AFFS and DCMS troops in May started spreading among the survivors of the orbital bombardment as the death count quickly outpaced that of the [[Kentares Massacre]]. Some 30,000 Galedonians managed to escape from the surface of Galedon, only to be captured by the Ravens and declared ''[[isorla]]''.<ref name="J:FRp47"/> In an ironic twist of fate, it is possible that the Raven's brutal actions actually staved off a much worse epidemic as their systematic destruction of Galedon prohibited the ancient bioweapon from spreading to other systems.<ref name=tc77/>

The Snow Raven Star didn't escape unscathed from Galedon; survivors captured from the planet and taken aboard the vessels brought the plague up from the surface with them, and the plague began to spread amidst the various Snow Raven WarShips, resulting in the Star engaging in a fratricidal battle somewhere in Draconis Combine space in mid-July as the uninfected vessels battled those marked by the plague.<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

On the 15th of September, the Draconis Combine High Command put Galedon under quarantine, blocking access to the world because of the plague running out of control on the planet.<ref name="J:FRp47"/> This was followed in the last two weeks of February with the High Command's final solution for the plague, which had come to be known as the "[[Curse of Galedon]]"; on the 14th of February the DCMS began a two-week thermonuclear bombardment of the planet. However, despite the decision being made to sterilize the planet, the government on [[New Samarkand]] denied that any such thing had happened.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
