Planetary History
Star League Era
Marduk has the dubious honour of being the first planet to be attacked during the Second Hidden War, when the 11th Benjamin Regulars crossed the border between the Draconis Combine and the Federated Suns and struck at Marduk on the 9th of March 2725. The AFFS struck back at the Combine, launching troops against Marduk and across the border into Combine space, but were quickly pushed back by the better prepared DCMS forces. The Second Hidden War would only end after the Star League Defense Force launched Operation SMOTHER, deploying five Divisions of troops to seperate the combatants, impose order and restore the border to its pre-war state.[11]
Early Succession Wars
This Black Widow Company engaged elements of the 21st Centauri Lancers during the Twelfth Battle of Marduk.[12]
The Jihad
Manufacturing on this important industrial world was largely unaffected by the Jihad, with the former Norse BattleMech Works plant located in or near New Pontiac continuing to turn out high-quality 'Mechs under the new name of Victory Industries.[3] With the devastation inflicted on Luthien Armor Works Victory Industries was one of the companies responsible for compensating for the loss in production, producing LAW-designed equipment from three different manufacturing lines established in the 3060s.[13]
However, after centuries of heavy industrial activity geological reports indicating massive metal ore depletion in the Tillerbee Jungle region attracted concern from the Combine central government. While geologists reported that the deposit should be sufficient to continue supporting production at the same level for several more decades, local manufacturers were beginning to call for additional resources to support future production efforts, possibly threatening the self-sufficiency that made Marduk such an important industrial world in the first place.[3]
