Pollux was one of the worlds added to the Hegemony during or around the time of this first military campaign.<ref name="TSLp16">''The Star League'', p. 16: "Terra's Errant Flock"</ref><ref name="HB:HMp16">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 16: "Free Worlds League Founding [2271]"</ref><ref name="HB:HKp18">''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 18: "Draconis Combine Founding [2319]"</ref> By the end of the [[Reunification War]] Pollux was a member of the [[Tyrfing Province]] of the Terran Hegemony.<ref name="H:RWp159"/> ====Fourth Succession War==== Following the sudden invasions of several League worlds by the [[Tikonov Free Republic]] and a daringly successful invasion of [[Callison]] by mercenaries employed by the Lyran Commonwealth in mid-[[3029]], [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] found himself in the midst of an unanticipated crisis. In addition to the conquest of Callison, [[LCAF]] communications traffic and movements had spiked sharply, creating the impression of an impending offensive against the League. Faced with what he believed to be the plausible threat of a large-scale attack aimed at the region of the League near [[Terra]], Janos was more concerned with saving the six or seven assorted BattleMech regiments present within the region than he was with retaining the worlds, as he believed that the offensive would most likely be aimed at snipping off the corner of the League closest to Terra - and to both the Federated Suns and the Tikonov Free Republic. Pollux was one of the systems abandoned by Janos, who would learn later that he had been deceived by an effective campaign of smoke and mirrors arranged by the Commonwealth General of the Armies, [[Edward Regis]], to deter the League from launching an invasion of the Commonwealth while the LCAF was heavily committed to its invasion of the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="4SWp87">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 87: "Conclusion"''</ref><ref name="HB:HMp42">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 42: "Free Worlds League after Third Succession War [3025]"</ref><ref name="HB:HMp51">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 51: "Free Worlds League after Fourth Succession War [3030]"</ref> ====Operation Guerrero==== Pollux was invaded in the second wave of [[Operation Guerrero]] by the [[Thirty-fourth Marik Militia]]. The defending militia was limited to one [[regiment]] of [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and one of [[infantry]]. The other five regiments that were on the planet either withdrew to the [[Lyran Alliance]] or joined the Free Worlds League. Free Worlds League troops took over within a week.<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 75: "Operation Guerrero, Second Wave"</ref> ====Jihad==== On 14 September [[3071]], the pro-Blakist garrison on Pollux was raided by forces from the Free Worlds Resistance, the organization headed up by [[Alys Rousset-Marik]] and which was also responsible for raiding another Blakist garrison on [[Hamilton (FWL)|Hamilton]].<ref name="JHS3076p17">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 17: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp50">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 50: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Pollux was raided again on the 23rd of September [[3075]], one of three worlds in the Protectorate to be raided simultaneously by unidentified forces. The raiders damaged the defending Protectorate and Militia forces, and were rumored to actually be drawn from the Word of Blake's own [[Shadow Divisions]].<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots:
