===Planetary Info===
'''New Rhodes III''' is a world filled with harsh deserts. There are only two features that attracted humans, one scientific and one military.<ref name=DARWp81/>

The scientific feature is the "Colossii of New Rhodes", a chain of nearly 150 geological towers scattered across the vast desert like islands in a sea, has become a tourist attraction that brings people from across the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name=DARWp81/>

The military reason for humans visiting this world is more prosaic: Because of the small size of its star, DropShips only require two days to reach New Rhodes III.  This particular quirk made New Rhodes III a crucial logistical player during the First Succession War and subsequent campaigns for dominance in the region.<ref name=DARWp81/>

===Planetary History===
====Star League====
New Rhodes III served as the location for multiple orbital shipyards and drydocks.  These massive installations and factories supported much of the [[3rd Fleet (SLDF)|Third Fleet]] with maintenance and replacement parts.  To defend this vital infrastructure the Thirty-second Pursuit Squadron called this system its home port.  At any given time a pair of [[WarShip|WarShips]] - the ''[[Texas]]''-class battleship ''[[William Halsey]]'' or the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser  ''[[Port Hope]]'' - were in-system protecting the important installations.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 66, "32st Pursuit Squadron"</ref>

====First Succession War====
[[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns|AFFS]] peacekeepers were deployed to New Rhodes III in [[2784]] as part of [[House Davion|House Davion's]] acquisition of former [[Terran Hegemony]] systems.<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 28</ref>

In May [[2787]] the Draconis Combine launched a massive invasion of the Federated Suns. The invasion was so swift and targeted communications and [[JumpShip|JumpShips]] so effectively that many border systems didn't have a chance to transmit warnings or alerts, leading to widespread confusion on the part of the AFFS. A second wave followed three days after the first, led personally by [[Coordinator]] [[Minoru Kurita (28th c.)|Minoru Kurita]] and his son, Warlord [[Jinjiro Kurita]], striking through the Clovis Combat Region and Dahar Combat Region in two thrusts, and proved devastatingly effective. The death of [[Field Marshal]] [[Grover Simons]] on [[Clovis]] caused the AFFS defensive line to collapse,<ref name="FSWp38">''First Succession War'', p. 38-39, "The Battle For Clovis"</ref> and the [[DCMS]] adopted a strategy of leapfrogging worlds, smashing some AFFS units while leaving others isolated and cut-off, to be subsequently destroyed later.<ref name="FSWp40">''First Succession War'', p. 40, "Rout"</ref>

The majority of the AFFS units left behind enemy lines had been destroyed by mid-[[2789]], but the Chargers' [[battalion]] of the [[Tenth Robinson Chevaliers]] was one of a handful of commands that managed to survive longer, through a combination of good luck, resourcefulness and sheer resilience. Made up from remnants of the Tenth and those supporting units that had managed to escape destruction, the Chargers went to ground for years after New Rhodes III fell, causing as much havoc as they could for the [[DCMS]] garrison and raiding for supplies to survive.<ref name="FSWp40"/>

The civilian population of New Rhodes proved more obstinate than anticipated by the Combine garrison, a problem that was made no easier to deal with by the presence of the Chargers. Despite these problems, in December [[2788]] ''Tai-sa'' [[Samuru Olowenn]] - the commanding officer of the [[Thirtieth Dieron Regulars]] - believed that he had crushed the last of the armed resistance. Having reported to the DCMS High Command that his troops were victorious. The High Command designated New Rhodes as a major depot, intent on using the planet as a warehouse to supply troops throughout the local region, and began shipping large quantities of weapons and ammunition for onward distribution.<ref name="FSWp43">''First Succession War'', p. 43-45, "Rebellion on New Rhodes"</ref>

Whilst the Thirtieth proceeded to stockpile the shipped supplied in every available open space at the Xerxes City Spaceport, Olowenn laid plans to impress upon the civilian population that the Combine's occupation of New Rhodes was now absolute and unquestionable, beginning with a military parade to cow and impress the planetary business leaders, media and civilian administrators. The parade was duly held on the morning of the 23rd of March 2789, with much fanfare - only to be disrupted by [[Captain]] [[Conrad Warrent]] of the Tenth Robinson Chevaliers, who had used the river that flowed past the southern edge of the spaceport to bring a reinforced [[company]] of Chevaliers 'Mechs within striking distance of the piled supplies. The piles of supplies stretched as high as five stories, and as the DCMS security forces attempted to engage his troops, his 'Mechs jumped into the maze created by the stacked shipping containers and began destroying supplies and battling their pursuers. Explosions caused by missed shots ignited several stacks of assorted munitions, and the resulting inferno swept through half of the hangars and the spaceport, destroying more than a thousands tons of supplies and generating a thick plume of black smoke that spread through the sky for several kilometers.<ref name="FSWp43"/>

Having destroyed the supplies - along with two companies of DCMS 'Mechs and armor - more than half of Warrent's raiders escaped to rejoin the resistance; with so many of the media present, it was inevitable that copies of footage from the day would survive the best efforts by Combine officials to track them down and have them destroyed. Footage of the DCMS being humiliated was shown around New Rhodes and spread to other worlds, providing a welcome morale boost for the AFFS; the strike also convinced the High Command that New Rhodes wasn't secure enough to use as a supply world, leading to the eventual decision to instead use [[Kentares IV]] as a supply hub instead.<ref name="FSWp43"/>

Although the naval battle at [[Cholame]] fought in March and April [[2790]] had cost the AFFS a huge price, it bought the Federated Suns something badly needed - time. For fourteen months, the invasion forces from the Combine were unable to make significant gains, and the AFFS used that opportunity to provide whatever aid it could to those forces still fighting in systems such as [[Dobson]], [[Galtor]], [[Kentares]] and New Rhodes III.<ref name="FSWp43-2">''First Succession War'', p. 43, "On The Brink"</ref>

The Chargers' continued success in resisting the Combine provided a morale boost to their embattled counterparts on the front lines, and also likely played a role in Minoru Kurita's decision to secure his new holdings rather than push on to [[New Avalon]].<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 44-45</ref>

====Republic of the Sphere====
On the 14th of January [[3133]] [[Bannson's Raiders]] launched a raid on New Rhodes III that forced the [[Swordsworn]] to retreat from the planet.<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10, "Dark Age Timeline"</ref> The Raiders' attack was a deliberate attempt by [[Jacob Bannson]] to test the resolve of [[Duke]] [[Aaron Sandoval (32nd c.)|Aaron Sandoval]], and the Raiders' success led Bannson to begin planning an expansion throughout the worlds of Prefecture IV.<ref name="ED:DAp7">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 7, "Important Military Actions of 3133"</ref> In [[3134]] pro-[[Draconis Combine]] rebels operating under the banner of the [[Dragon's Fury]] used [[Garrot|Garrot Superheavy Transports]] to haul artillery between the various Colosii mesas in support of their drive on the planetary capital, Xerxes.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp12">''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenareis'', p. 12, "Garrot Superheavy Transport"</ref>

 ===Planetary History===
 ====Star League====
-New Rhodes III served as the location for multiple orbital shipyards and drydocks.  These massive installations and factories supported much of the [[3rd Fleet (Star League)|Third Fleet]] with maintenance and replacement parts.  To defend this vital infrastructure the Thirty-second Pursuit Squadron called this system its home port.  At any given time a pair of [[WarShip|WarShips]]—the ''[[Texas]]''-class battleship ''[[William Halsey]]'' or the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser ''[[Port Hope]]''—were in-system protecting the important installations.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 66: "32st Pursuit Squadron"</ref>

 ====First Succession War====
-[[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] peacekeepers were deployed to New Rhodes III in [[2784]] as part of the [[Federated Suns]] acquisition of former [[Terran Hegemony]] systems.<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 28</ref>
+[[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns|AFFS]] peacekeepers were deployed to New Rhodes III in [[2784]] as part of [[House Davion|House Davion's]] acquisition of former [[Terran Hegemony]] systems.<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 28</ref>
-In May [[2787]], the Draconis Combine launched a massive invasion of the Federated Suns. The invasion was so swift and targeted communications and [[JumpShip|JumpShips]] so effectively that many border systems didn't have a chance to transmit warnings or alerts, leading to widespread confusion on the part of the AFFS. A second wave followed three days after the first, led personally by [[Coordinator of Worlds|Coordinator]] [[Minoru Kurita (28th c.)|Minoru Kurita]] and his son, Warlord [[Jinjiro Kurita]], striking through the Clovis Combat Region and Dahar Combat Region in two thrusts, and proved devastatingly effective. The death of [[Field Marshal]] [[Grover Simons]] on [[Clovis]] caused the AFFS defensive line to collapse,<ref name="FSWp38">''First Succession War'', pp. 38–39: "The Battle for Clovis"</ref> and the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] adopted a strategy of leapfrogging worlds, smashing some AFFS units while leaving others isolated and cut-off, to be subsequently destroyed later.<ref name="FSWp40">''First Succession War'', p. 40: "Rout"</ref>

-The majority of the AFFS units left behind enemy lines had been destroyed by mid-[[2789]], but the Chargers' [[battalion]] of the [[Tenth Robinson Chevaliers]] was one of a handful of commands that managed to survive longer, through a combination of good luck, resourcefulness and sheer resilience. Made up from remnants of the Tenth and those supporting units that had managed to escape destruction, the Chargers went to ground for years after New Rhodes III fell, causing as much havoc as they could for the DCMS garrison and raiding for supplies to survive.<ref name="FSWp40"/>

-The civilian population of New Rhodes proved more obstinate than anticipated by the Combine garrison, a problem that was made no easier to deal with by the presence of the Chargers. Despite these problems, in December [[2788]] ''Tai-sa'' [[Samuru Olowenn]], the commanding officer of the [[Thirtieth Dieron Regulars]], believed that he had crushed the last of the armed resistance. Having reported to the DCMS High Command that his troops were victorious. The High Command designated New Rhodes as a major depot, intent on using the planet as a warehouse to supply troops throughout the local region, and began shipping large quantities of weapons and ammunition for onward distribution.<ref name="FSWp43">''First Succession War'', pp. 43–45: "Rebellion on New Rhodes"</ref>

-Whilst the Thirtieth proceeded to stockpile the shipped supplied in every available open space at the Xerxes City Spaceport, Olowenn laid plans to impress upon the civilian population that the Combine's occupation of New Rhodes was now absolute and unquestionable, beginning with a military parade to cow and impress the planetary business leaders, media and civilian administrators. The parade was duly held on the morning of 23 March 2789, with much fanfare—only to be disrupted by [[Captain]] [[Conrad Warrent]] of the Tenth Robinson Chevaliers, who had used the river that flowed past the southern edge of the spaceport to bring a reinforced [[company]] of Chevaliers 'Mechs within striking distance of the piled supplies. The piles of supplies stretched as high as five stories, and as the DCMS security forces attempted to engage his troops, his 'Mechs jumped into the maze created by the stacked shipping containers and began destroying supplies and battling their pursuers. Explosions caused by missed shots ignited several stacks of assorted munitions, and the resulting inferno swept through half of the hangars and the spaceport, destroying more than a thousand tons of supplies and generating a thick plume of black smoke that spread through the sky for several kilometers.<ref name="FSWp43"/>
+Whilst the Thirtieth proceeded to stockpile the shipped supplied in every available open space at the Xerxes City Spaceport, Olowenn laid plans to impress upon the civilian population that the Combine's occupation of New Rhodes was now absolute and unquestionable, beginning with a military parade to cow and impress the planetary business leaders, media and civilian administrators. The parade was duly held on the morning of the 23rd of March 2789, with much fanfare - only to be disrupted by [[Captain]] [[Conrad Warrent]] of the Tenth Robinson Chevaliers, who had used the river that flowed past the southern edge of the spaceport to bring a reinforced [[company]] of Chevaliers 'Mechs within striking distance of the piled supplies. The piles of supplies stretched as high as five stories, and as the DCMS security forces attempted to engage his troops, his 'Mechs jumped into the maze created by the stacked shipping containers and began destroying supplies and battling their pursuers.

-Having destroyed the supplies—along with two companies of DCMS 'Mechs and armor—more than half of Warrent's raiders escaped to rejoin the resistance; with so many of the media present, it was inevitable that copies of footage from the day would survive the best efforts by Combine officials to track them down and have them destroyed. Footage of the DCMS being humiliated was shown around New Rhodes and spread to other worlds, providing a welcome morale boost for the AFFS; the strike also convinced the High Command that New Rhodes wasn't secure enough to use as a supply world, leading to the eventual decision to instead use [[Kentares IV]] as a supply hub instead.<ref name="FSWp43"/>

-Although the naval battle at [[Cholame]] fought in March and April [[2790]] had cost the AFFS a huge price, it bought the Federated Suns something badly needed - time. For fourteen months, the invasion forces from the Combine were unable to make significant gains, and the AFFS used that opportunity to provide whatever aid it could to those forces still fighting in systems such as [[Dobson]], [[Galtor]], [[Kentares]], and New Rhodes III.<ref name="FSWp43-2">''First Succession War'', p. 43: "On the Brink"</ref>
