Planetary History

Persistence was one of seven worlds settled by colonists from the Rim Worlds Republic between 2334 and 2338 as an attempt by Maxwell Rowe to create a buffer zone between the Republic, the Draconis Combine and the Tamar Pact.[4] Persistence 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.[5]

Persistence is a very harsh world which was only colonized through the use of large desalination plants. During the Reunification War the SLDF tried to land on the world, but the Amaris Fusiliers were not aware that the SLDF were allied troops and resisted the SLDF's arrival. Surface to air weapons batteries located at Danderson City engaged the SLDF's DropShips. Only after the last desalination plant was in SLDF hands did the Fifth Amaris Fusliers surrender. The VI Corps Seventeenth Division took some losses in this fighting as they tried to minimize Republican casualties.[1]

Persistence was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during Operation Revival, only to then be conquered again during the Jihad, when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere in mid-3071. Persistence was seized by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071.[6] In December of 3071, the Jade Falcons launched a wave of counterattacks against the invading Ice Hellion forces and one of the worlds recaptured during these attacks was Persistence,[7][8] which finally fell to the Jade Falcons in late January 3072.[8][9]
