===Planetary History===
 
Melissia was originally settled from [[Coventry]].<ref name=HB:HSp82/> Melissia was a part of the [[Apollo Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic and was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[2773]]–[[2775]] Republic–Commonwealth war.<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37: "The Republic-Commonwealth War"</ref>
 
  
====Civil War Era====
+
== Political Affiliation ==
Melissia, as capital of a theater, was initially spared from the [[Clan Invasion]], but during the [[FedCom Civil War]], [[Clan Jade Falcon]] attacked it. During the [[Battle of Melissia (3064)]], Lyran Marshal [[Sharon Bryan]] chose the planet to install her command center, gathering all available forces. The fortification she ordered built, ''The Rock'', was not able to stop the Falcons' juggernaut, and after suffering a headhunting attack, ''The Rock'' fell to the Falcons, so Bryan's XO, General [[Adam Steiner]] was forced to order a retreat. However, a counterattack by the [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] later the same year returned it to Lyran control.<ref name=OAc1-25>''Operation Audacity'', chs. 1–25</ref><ref>''FedCom Civil War sourcebook'' p. 114-116</ref>

====Jihad====
+
== Planetary History ==
During the [[Jihad]] those members of the [[Estates General]] who either had the fortune to not be on [[Tharkad]] when the [[Word of Blake]] struck at the Lyran capital, or who managed to later escape from the siege there, convened as a quorum on Melissia. Although the Estates Genereal took on responsibility for managing the more mundane matters of state during the Jihad, they also managed to achieve a greater degree of authority over the infrastructure of the Alliance than was historically the case for their station. This was symptomatic of a problem across the Alliance that [[Archon]] [[Adam Steiner]] would struggle to deal with in the years after the Jihad; the chaos of the Jihad and the changes put in place due to Archon [[Peter Steiner-Davion|Peter Steiner-Davion's]] time on Tharkad during the Blakist siege resulted in a significant degree of power ending up in the hands of numerous other groups and people, who would later compete with the central Lyran government in the [[3080]]s as the Alliance rebuilt itself.<ref name="J:FRp86">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 86: "The Political Landscape of the Lyran Alliance"</ref>

====IlClan Era====

=== Jihad ===
Melissia stayed under dominion of Clan Jade Falcon for an unknown amount of time, until the departure of almost all their ''touman'', and the creation of the [[Hinterlands]] changed it all. Melissia Falcon's small garrison was quickly annihilated, though the revolutionary government it was born soon faced by a coalition of local nobles. A bloody civil war, in which the nobles took the best part, ensued. The government was losing ground, when the arrival of the exiled duke [[Vedet Brewer]] changed it all. His [[First Hesperus Guards]] became the biggest military force on planet, but though both sides negotiated with him, he played them one against the other, and when the final battle ensued, Brewer turned against his ''ally'', Duke [[Yiorgios Laskaris]], engaging and destroying his mercenary forces. After that, Brewer formed a joint government led by him, including both factions, and announced the creation of a new state: the [[Vesper Marches]], of which Melissia will be the capital.<ref name=TRp17>''Tamar Rising'' p. 17</ref>
