System History[edit]

Planetary History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[32] Garrisoned on Gwynedd at the start of the Civil War were the Fourth Amaris Legionnaires; a local Baron named Daffyd Ap Brendan arranged to have the senior officers of the Fourth assassinated, and replaced with cronies loyal to himself.[33]

The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. Assigned to the conquest of Gwynedd in 2590 was a division from VI Corps, the Sixteenth Division.[34] The Sixteenth arrived on Gwynedd in April 2590 to discover Baron Ap Brendan in control of the planet and the Fourth Amaris Legionnaires and professing his loyalty to the Amaris family. However, despite Baron Ap Brendan's protestations to the contrary, the local population was actively rebellious; although Ap Brendan insisted that he wasn't willing to fight against the SLDF, the arrival of the Sixteenth quickly caused fractures among the population of the planet and the Fourth Legionnaires, shortly followed by open conflict as both split along various factional lines. The net result was an eleven-month peacekeeping operation to try and separate the various warring camps and restore order.[33]

The Sixteenth remained in place on Gwynedd as a garrison until redeployed for the invasion of Steelton in 2595.[34]
