| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Amaris Civil War==== | ||
| + | New Canton served as a military nexus along the [[Terran Hegemony]]–Capellan frontier. During [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]], the [[Star League Defense Force]] entered the system in [[2772]] with a fifty-ship attack fleet, quickly eliminating the [[Amaris Empire]] task force of twenty-four [[WarShip]]s and additional transports. The [[7th Army (Star League)|Seventh Army]]'s [[LIII Corps (Star League)|LIII Corps]] then landed on-planet, splitting its focus between securing the Amaris supply depots garrisoned by two overstrength [[Rim Worlds Army#Hegemony Patriots|Patriot]] [[battalions]], and a largely conventional campaign to neutralize the remaining forces consisting of a [[regiment]] of [[Amaris Regulars]] and another two Patriot battalions based within the world's lone [[Castle Brian]]. The defenders were able to destroy large stockpiles of the supplies before the SLDF could capture them, though the great majority of their WMD were secured or destroyed safely.<ref name=H:LoTV1p131>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 131</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====First Succession War==== | ||
| + | The Capellan Confederation annexed New Canton in [[2784]], part of a series of annexations that added fifteen former Terran Hegemony worlds to the Confederation while the Hegemony was collapsing immediately before the [[First Succession War]] erupted.<ref name="H:LoTv2p118"/><ref name="FSWp27">''First Succession War'', p. 27: "Capellan Confederation Gains"</ref> In late [[2787]], [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] launched an invasion of the Confederation, intent on capturing a corridor of worlds leading to [[Sarna]]. Having quickly seized [[Corey]] and [[Wazan]], the Free Worlds League faced a two-year struggle to hold both worlds as the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] attempted to get reinforcements to both worlds. [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]] ordered an attack on [[New Delos]], a major [[Free Worlds League Military]] staging ground, which disrupted supply lines, communications and repair facilities and killed twenty thousand civilians.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p28">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', pp. 28–29: "The Collapse of Terra"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | In retaliation—and in an attempt to disrupt the flow of reinforcements to Corey and Wazan—Kenyon Marik ordered attacks on a number of Capellan worlds including New Canton that saw the planets firebombed.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p28"/><ref name="FSWp58"/> In the case of New Canton, the firebombing was conducted between April and August [[2789]]<ref name="FSWp114">''First Succession War'', p. 114: "Timeline of the First Succession War"</ref> using a task force that consisted of two ''[[Carrack]]''-class transports that had been converted into [[aerospace fighter]] carriers, escorted by a pair of ''[[Atreus (WarShip class)|Atreus]]''-class [[battleship]]s, the [[Kanata (Individual Atreus-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Kanata'']] and [[Majestic (Individual Atreus-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Majestic'']], and a pair of ''[[League (WarShip class)|League]]''-class [[destroyer]]s, the [[Andria (Individual League-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Andria'']] and [[Avellino (Individual League-class WarShip)|FWLS ''Avellino'']].<ref name="FSWp58"/> The attacks continued until the Capellans were forced on the defensive following a failed attack on [[Calloway VI]] in 2789.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p28"/><ref name="FSWp58">''First Succession War'', pp. 58–59: "Fallout"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Fourth Succession War==== | ||
| + | New Canton was targeted in the third wave of [[Operation RAT]], with both regiments of the [[Screaming Eagles]] mercenaries and ten garrison regiments landed to deal with two CCAF battalions—the first battalion of the [[Fourth Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] and the third battalion of [[Trimaldi's Secutors]]—as well as the local militia.<ref name=NAIS4SWMAv1p34>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 34</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Capellans put up a strong resistance, inflicting significant losses before they could be finished off. Two particular incidents were very damaging to the reputation of the Screaming Eagles. After capturing the remains of the Fourth Confederation Cavalry battalion when a bridge trapped them with their backs to the Canton River, Colonel [[Opson Mathis]] of the First Screaming Eagles ordered the Capellan cockpits welded closed and pushed the [['Mechs]], [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] inside, into the river to drown. Colonel [[Robert Garcia]] of the [[Third Almach Foot Soldiers]] demanded Mathis' surrender, which he received after the other Screaming Eagles abandoned Mathis.<ref name=NAIS4SWMAv1p34/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the other continent, two regiments of Almach infantry were airlifted to close a key pass in the Blue Dragon Mountains to prevent the retreat of the Secutors for six hours, long enough for the Screaming Eagles' second regiment to finish off the Capellans. Due to suicide attacks by Capellan tanks, it took six days for the Eagles to relieve the infantry, who suffered heavy losses.<ref name=NAIS4SWMAv1p35>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 35</ref> | ||

| + | * [[Battle of New Canton (3057)]]<ref name=AGT>''All Good Things''</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====The Jihad==== | ||
| + | The [[Word of Blake]] annexed New Canton early in the [[Jihad]] and declared the planet to be a part of the Word of Blake Protectorate under their total control in August [[3071]]. Data recovered late in the Jihad showed that the Blakist proclamation was somewhat precipitous; [[Stalwart Support]], a conventional infantry regiment under the command of [[Colonel]] Sanders, went to ground on New Canton and offered stiff and continued resistance for two years until the last of the unit was destroyed in [[3073]]. The infantry platoons within Stalwart Support were particularly fond of using [[TAG spotter infantry]] and [[heavy foot LRM infantry]] in combination with heavy cover to inflict disproportionate amounts of damage on the Blakist units garrisoning the world.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp6">''Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental'', p. 6: "Key Infantry"</ref> | ||
| − | == | + | ====Dark Age==== |
| − | + | After the [[Republic of the Sphere]] was established, New Canton served as capital of [[Prefecture VI]].<ref name=DARSp5>''Dark Age: Republic of the Sphere'', p. 5: "Atlas of the Republic"</ref> During the first [[Capellan-Republic War]] in the 3080s, New Canton was briefly reclaimed by the Capellan Confederation. The world was subsequently retaken by three [[Hastati Sentinels]] regiments, in a battle which saw the [[Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry|Fourth MAC]] almost wiped out and its commander [[Faith McCarron]] slain.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 26</ref> | |

Planetary History
Amaris Civil War
New Canton served as a military nexus along the Terran Hegemony–Capellan frontier. During Operation CHIEFTAIN, the Star League Defense Force entered the system in 2772 with a fifty-ship attack fleet, quickly eliminating the Amaris Empire task force of twenty-four WarShips and additional transports. The Seventh Army's LIII Corps then landed on-planet, splitting its focus between securing the Amaris supply depots garrisoned by two overstrength Patriot battalions, and a largely conventional campaign to neutralize the remaining forces consisting of a regiment of Amaris Regulars and another two Patriot battalions based within the world's lone Castle Brian. The defenders were able to destroy large stockpiles of the supplies before the SLDF could capture them, though the great majority of their WMD were secured or destroyed safely.[40]
First Succession War
The Capellan Confederation annexed New Canton in 2784, part of a series of annexations that added fifteen former Terran Hegemony worlds to the Confederation while the Hegemony was collapsing immediately before the First Succession War erupted.[11][41] In late 2787, Captain-General Kenyon Marik launched an invasion of the Confederation, intent on capturing a corridor of worlds leading to Sarna. Having quickly seized Corey and Wazan, the Free Worlds League faced a two-year struggle to hold both worlds as the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces attempted to get reinforcements to both worlds. Chancellor Barbara Liao ordered an attack on New Delos, a major Free Worlds League Military staging ground, which disrupted supply lines, communications and repair facilities and killed twenty thousand civilians.[42]
In retaliation—and in an attempt to disrupt the flow of reinforcements to Corey and Wazan—Kenyon Marik ordered attacks on a number of Capellan worlds including New Canton that saw the planets firebombed.[42][43] In the case of New Canton, the firebombing was conducted between April and August 2789[44] using a task force that consisted of two Carrack-class transports that had been converted into aerospace fighter carriers, escorted by a pair of Atreus-class battleships, the FWLS Kanata and FWLS Majestic, and a pair of League-class destroyers, the FWLS Andria and FWLS Avellino.[43] The attacks continued until the Capellans were forced on the defensive following a failed attack on Calloway VI in 2789.[42][43]
Fourth Succession War
New Canton was targeted in the third wave of Operation RAT, with both regiments of the Screaming Eagles mercenaries and ten garrison regiments landed to deal with two CCAF battalions—the first battalion of the Fourth Confederation Reserve Cavalry and the third battalion of Trimaldi's Secutors—as well as the local militia.[45]
The Capellans put up a strong resistance, inflicting significant losses before they could be finished off. Two particular incidents were very damaging to the reputation of the Screaming Eagles. After capturing the remains of the Fourth Confederation Cavalry battalion when a bridge trapped them with their backs to the Canton River, Colonel Opson Mathis of the First Screaming Eagles ordered the Capellan cockpits welded closed and pushed the 'Mechs, MechWarriors inside, into the river to drown. Colonel Robert Garcia of the Third Almach Foot Soldiers demanded Mathis' surrender, which he received after the other Screaming Eagles abandoned Mathis.[45]
On the other continent, two regiments of Almach infantry were airlifted to close a key pass in the Blue Dragon Mountains to prevent the retreat of the Secutors for six hours, long enough for the Screaming Eagles' second regiment to finish off the Capellans. Due to suicide attacks by Capellan tanks, it took six days for the Eagles to relieve the infantry, who suffered heavy losses.[46]
Clan Invasion Era
The Jihad
The Word of Blake annexed New Canton early in the Jihad and declared the planet to be a part of the Word of Blake Protectorate under their total control in August 3071. Data recovered late in the Jihad showed that the Blakist proclamation was somewhat precipitous; Stalwart Support, a conventional infantry regiment under the command of Colonel Sanders, went to ground on New Canton and offered stiff and continued resistance for two years until the last of the unit was destroyed in 3073. The infantry platoons within Stalwart Support were particularly fond of using TAG spotter infantry and heavy foot LRM infantry in combination with heavy cover to inflict disproportionate amounts of damage on the Blakist units garrisoning the world.[47]
Dark Age
After the Republic of the Sphere was established, New Canton served as capital of Prefecture VI.[48] During the first Capellan-Republic War in the 3080s, New Canton was briefly reclaimed by the Capellan Confederation. The world was subsequently retaken by three Hastati Sentinels regiments, in a battle which saw the Fourth MAC almost wiped out and its commander Faith McCarron slain.[49]
Following the Blackout of 3132 New Canton rejoined the Capellan Confederation during Operation GREAT FLOOD, when the Third Liao Guards dislodged the RAF defenders.[50]
New Canton was one of several Capellan worlds hit by Julian Davion's Task Force Navarre in 3146, with the raiders easily beating its Home Guard and making off with supplies. The attackers avoided civilian targets, except for various monuments dedicated to Chanceller Daoshen Liao.[51][52]
