Planetary History
By the end of the Reunification War Pollux was a member of the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony.[4]
On the 14th of September 3071 the pro-Blakist garrison on Pollux was raided by forces from the Free Worlds Resistance, the organisation headed up by Alys Rousset-Marik and which was also responsible for raiding another Blakist garrison on Hamilton.[10][11] 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 rumoured to actually be drawn from the Word of Blake's own Shadow Divisions.[12][13]
Forces from the Free Worlds League front of Operation SCOUR liberated the nearby world of Graham IV in March 3078, and as they moved to liberate Pollux later in the month they received unexpected assistance and aid from an uprising that resulted in a popular revolt.[8] By June 3078 all of the Free Worlds League task force had gathered on Pollux to rest and refit prior to the coalition assault on Terra, with the exception of Group II, who were still bogged down in the conflict on Liberty.[14]
