====Fourth Succession War====
 
Kandis was one of the worlds attacked in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Defending Kandis was a mercenary command in [[DCMS]] employ, the [[St. Cyr Heavy Assault Group]], and when the [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards]] landed the resulting campaign involved a number of heavy [['Mech]] charges. The St. Cyr HAG withdrew from Kandis after their Second Battalion was caught on Icic and mauled by the Twenty-sixth.<ref name="NAIS4SWp50"/>

A shipping company serving as the only source of supplies to outlying Combine worlds was being run out of business by incessant raider attacks—raiders who were secretly backed by [[ComStar]] to force the inhabitants to leave to allow their [[Lostech]] excavation efforts to go unnoticed. [[Sebastian Spears]] of [[Interstellar Expeditions]] tasked [[Nik's Cavaliers]] with protecting the company's main supply depot on Kandis to prevent the company from folding.<ref name=MW5M>''MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries'', Campaign Mission 16: "Lifeline"</ref>

====Clan Invasion====
Kandis was invaded by [[Clan Wolf]] in September [[3050]] during the Fourth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]].  [[SaKhan]] [[Garth Radick]] led the [[Silver Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Silver Keshik]] and [[Trinary|Trinaries]] Command, Assault and [[Binary]] Elemental of the [[352nd Assault (Clan Wolf)|352nd Assault Cluster]] against the surviving [[battalion]] of the [[3rd Freemen (Free Rasalhague Republic)|Third Freemen]] along with the First and Second Kandis 'Mechanized Brigades.  Having escaped from the disastrous loss of [[Rasalhague]], the Freemen and militia units under the charismatic command of [[Generalmajor]] [[Rhodes (3rd Freemen)|Rhodes]] decided to avoid pitched battle and scattered across the main continent of Cess.  For several days they successfully conducted hit-and-run attacks against the invaders until saKhan Garth Radick destroyed the defender's communication and command facilities.  This was followed by a series of lightning raids which succeeded in capturing Rhodes at his headquarters, causing the resistance to collapse soon afterwards.<ref name="CWSBp63">''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 63</ref>
