Owner History

Planetary History

Early History

One of a multitude of inedependent worlds within the Capellan Zone after the withdrawl of the Terran Alliance, Highspire was occupied by pirates during the late 2280s, who managed to subjugate the population until a combined force from the Capellan Hegemony and the Sian Supremacy co-operated to liberate the planet... unfortunately, provoking the nearby Sarna Supremacy as they did so.[3][4]

Highspire went on to become one of a number of client states that joined the Capellan Hegemony in the 2280s and 2290s, and presented the Hegemony with a number of problems - the most significant of which was that Highspire bordered both the Sarna Supremacy and the Tikonov Grand Union, both of which took a dim view of having a Hegemony province so close to their own borders.[9] As one of the Hegemony's border worlds, Highspire was subject to heavy attacks from Kluanian pirates in 2305, during the war between the Hegemony and the Sarna Supremacy. Hired by the Sarna Supremacy, the pirates inflicted heavy damage on a number of Capellan border worlds, forcing the Hegemony to constantly redeploy troops to defend it's worlds rather than continuing to stage attacks on Sarna.[6]

At some point after the Hegemony/Supremacy war, Highspire became a part of the Chesterton Trade Federation, but by 2357 the Supremacy had absorbed the Trade Federation, including the world of Highspire. In July 2357 a large force from the Federated Peacekeeping Force - the armed forces of the Federated Suns - landed on the former Chesterton world of Bell and claimed it in the name of the Federated Suns, with Prime Minister Reynard Davion also demanding that the Supremacy cede the worlds of Chesterton and Highspire to the Federated Suns.[7][20] The Supremacy had no choice but to comply;[7] however, while the Federated Suns easily occupied Chesterton, Highspire remained free.[10]

Jihad

On the 25th of August 3071 a force from the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns launched a punitive raid on Highspire in retaliation for earlier attacks on Chesterton. The AFFS force was reportedly destroyed by two hybrid Thuggee-Manei Domini formations operating as "Warrior Houses".[21][22]

Capellan Death Commandoes arrested Duchess Kali Liao on Highspire on the 30th of November 3073, transporting her back to Sian where in late December she was presented to Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao and formally charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.[23][24]
