====Reunification War====
 
 
Like the majority of the Taurian Concordat systems, Midale was conquered by the [[Star League Defense Force]] during the [[Reunification War]] campaign against the Concordat, which the [[SLDF]] dubbed [[Operation BULL RUN]]. Midale was spared the immense death toll and destruction that many other Taurian worlds suffered, however; this was due to [[General]] Lord [[Damien Onaga]] having replaced [[Field Marshal]] [[Amos Forlough]] as the overall Commanding Officer of the SLDF units deployed on BULL RUN in [[2590]]. Onaga's approach to conquering Midale saw him deliberately rotating troops<ref name="H:RWp91"/> from [[III Corps (Star League)|III Corps]] and [[XI Corps (Star League)|XI Corps]]<ref name="H:RWp143">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 143: "Taurian Concordat Front [2586-2596]"</ref> in and out of battle, giving them an opportunity to blood themselves, while limiting his campaign to purely military targets, rather than cities and civilian infrastructure. This made the conquest of Midale a slower campaign than many previous planetary assaults, but inflicted far less damage, and with much of the planetary garrison having already been stripped away by the [[Taurian Defense Force]] to fight in other systems during earlier years of the war, the battle for Midale was over by the end of December 2590.<ref name="H:RWp91">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 91: "Cleanup"</ref>

The [[Star League Defense Force]] [[5th Fleet (Star League)|Fifth Fleet]] used the Midale system as their homeport.  The orbital facilities, while basic, were enough to keep the fleet resupplied while handling minor repairs.  Most of the command and control facilities were located on world while the flagship of the Fifth Fleet, the ''[[McKenna (WarShip class)|McKenna]]''-class battleship [[SLS Duke of York|SLS ''Duke of York'']] was regularly in orbit.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 86: "Homeport"</ref>

In response to the asteroid bombardment of [[Taurus]] and evidence that implicated the Federated Suns, the Taurian Concordat launched a second invasion of the Federated Suns during the [[Jihad]]. Midale was an early target, captured during late June [[3074]]. The Taurian conquest of Midale involved using nuclear weapons against [[AFFS]] pickets, as did the campaigns on [[Brockway]] and [[Bromhead]], resulting in more than ten million Federated Suns civilian and military deaths.<ref name="JHS3076p52">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 52: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Many of these nuclear weapons were launched from the ''[[Quixote]]''-class frigate [[Redemption|TCS ''Vendetta'']], which was responsible for an estimated six million deaths on Midale alone.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 16: "Taurian WarShip Bombards Midale</ref>
