==History & Description== The '''Minette Operational Area''' - also referred to as the '''Crucis March Edgeward Beta Combat Theater''' - was a regional command within the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. One of the subdivisions of the [[Crucis March]], the Minette Operational Area was a completely military administration, with no civilian governing responsibilities, and was traditionally commanded by a [[Field Marshal]]. As an Operational Area the Minette OA had command authority over a number of smaller regional commands commonly known as [[Polymorphous Defense Zone]]s or Combat Regions, although during the era of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] the PDZs were simply known as Commands.<ref name="FM:FSp17">''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 17: "Combat Theater"</ref><ref name="FM:FSp17A">''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 17: "Polymorphous Defense Zone/Combat Region"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp125">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 125: "Combat Theater/Operation Area"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp125A">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 125: "Polymorphous Defense Zone/Combat Region"</ref> At the end of the [[Age of War]] in [[2571]] the Minette OA encompassed four PDZs.<ref name="HB:HDp48">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 48: "Federated Suns after Age of War - [2571]"</ref> Between the establishment of the five Marches by [[First Prince]] [[Simon Davion]] in March [[2418]]<ref name="HB:HDp27">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 27: "Timeline: Early Years and the Age of War"</ref> and the restructuring of the Marches in the aftermath of the [[Davion Civil War]] by First Prince [[Alexander Davion]]<ref name="HB:HDp37A">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 37: "Timeline: Revolution and Civil War"</ref> a significant proportion of the region encompassed by the [[Star League era]] Minette OA had likely formed a part of the [[Outer March]]. The size and scope of the Minette OA remained largely stable during the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] although the number of inhabited systems declined, in common with other regions of the Federated Suns.<ref name="HB:HDp54">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 54: "Federated Suns after First Succession War - [2822]"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp60">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 60: "Federated Suns after Second Succession War - [2864]"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp70">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 70: "Federated Suns after Third Succession War - [3025]"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp72">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 72: "Federated Suns after Fourth Succession War - [3030] Map"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp76">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 76: "Federated Suns after War of 3039 - [3040]"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp78">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 78: "Federated Suns after Operation Guerrero - [3058]"</ref><ref name="HB:HDp82">''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 82: "Federated Suns after FedCom Civil War - [3067]"</ref><ref name="FM:Up139">''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 139–140: "Edgeward Beta Combat Theater (Minette Operational Area)"</ref> The most significant change in the borders of the Minette OA came in the aftermath of the [[Jihad]]; during the Jihad, a significant number of worlds within the Broken Wheel PDZ had broken away from the Federated Suns, forming a new nation - the [[Filtvelt Coalition]]. One of the responses to this was [[Princess-Regent]] [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion]] establishing a new March, the [[Periphery March (Federated Suns)|Periphery March]]; creating the [[Anjin Muerto Operational Area]] as a part of the new Periphery March, the former Anjin Muerto PDZ and the remains of the Broken Wheel PDZ - now redesignated the Hortense PDZ - were incorporated into the new March, leaving the Minette OA responsible for just two PDZs.<ref name="FM:3085p52">''Field Manual: 3085'', pp. 52–53: "Camelot Summit"</ref><ref name="FM:3085pVii">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. vii: "Inner Sphere - [3085]"</ref><ref name="FM:3085p71">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 71: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns"</ref> During the invasion of the Federated Suns by the [[Draconis Combine]] in the mid-[[thirty-second century]] the Minette OA found itself on the front lines, as the invasion path known as the Dragon's Tongue burst through the [[Draconis March]] to swiftly annex more than half of the Tsamma PDZ within the OA, with the remaining portion being rapidly reorganized as the Ulysses PDZ.<ref name="FM:3145p92">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 92: "Armed Forces of the Federated Suns"</ref><ref name=ER:3145p39>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 39: "Inner Sphere - [3145] Map"</ref><ref name="FM:3145pVI">''Field Manual: 3145'', p.
