The Star League component of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force had begun actively raiding Alliance worlds in early 2583, rather than attempting to occupy every world; whilst worlds like [[Ki Zoban]], [[Cerberus (planet)|Cerberus]] and [[Lushann]] had been occupied or were heavily contested, the commanding officer of the Task Force, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], had mobilized [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]] and elements of [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] on seek and destroy missions which targeted the civilian population and infrastructure of many more Alliance worlds. Tasked primarily with destroying towns, hamlets and industry, these raids included destroying any militia forces encountered as only a secondary objective to that of destroying the will and ability of the Alliance population to fight.

Planetary History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

Prinis Prime was a world within the Outworlds Alliance when Operation UNION HOLD began in 2581. After the major Periphery states rejected the Pollux Proclamation in 2575, the Star League began planning for the forced incorporation of all of the Periphery nations into the Star League. Operation UNION HOLD was the name given to the invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, which saw two corps of Star League Defense Force troops and a mixed brigade of DCMS forces begin systematically occupying Alliance worlds. Prinis Prime escaped the attentions of the Star League and Combine forces - collectively referred to as the Outworlds Alliance Task Force - until the second half of 2583.[3]

The Star League component of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force had begun actively raiding Alliance worlds in early 2583, rather than attempting to occupy every world; whilst worlds like Ki Zoban, Cerberus and Lushann had been occupied or were heavily contested, the commanding officer of the Task Force, General Amos Forlough, had mobilized V Corps and elements of II Corps on seek and destroy missions which targeted the civilian population and infrastructure of many more Alliance worlds. Tasked primarily with destroying towns, hamlets and industry, these raids included destroying any militia forces encountered as only a secondary objective to that of destroying the will and ability of the Alliance population to fight. Between March and June SLDF troops savaged the worlds of Dindatari, Mitchella, Morthac, Quatre Belle and Quiberas.[41]

In response to the campaign of devastation being waged by Forlough, Coordinator Hehiro Kurita pressured the commander of the DCMS mixed brigade supporting the Task Force to push further into the interior of the Alliance, having annexed the worlds of Kazanka, Zlatousi and Nexus Ri in early 2583. Sho-sho Igushi's forces had been cut off from the SLDF supply chain after withdrawing supplies contributed by the Draconis Combine to the Task Force to fuel their earlier conquests, which had reduced their supplies to a slow trickle from within the Combine and whatever they could source locally; despite this, in the fourth week of July Igushi ordered attacks on three more Alliance worlds: Milligan's World, Prinis Prime and Quantraine. The 19th Galedon Regulars left their garrisons on Kazanka and attacked Prinis Prime, facing elements of the Alliance 1st Armored Division for the second time.[3]

Unlike the earlier battles on Kazanka, the Combine BattleMechs were prevented from using their superior mobility against the 1st Armored Division because the Alliance defenders were so well dug-in. When the 19th attempted to follow Forlough's pattern of attacking the civilian population, Alliance infantry used anti-'Mech tactics to cripple the 19th's advance forces and slow them while the 1st Armored redeployed to blunt the 19th's attacks. Although the 19th made some progress, the Alliance forces continued to grind them down, and the 19th simply couldn't get reinforcements and supplies quickly enough to support this pattern of warfare. Whereas the 19th had managed to outlast the 1st Armored on Kazanka, by the time the campaign to take Prinis Prime had lasted from August through to the end of October the Combine forces were exhausted, and Igushi ordered his forces to retreat in early November.[3][42]

The combine forces were driven off Milligan's World, Prinis Prime and Quantraine, and Igushi reported the three failed invasions to both the Coordinator and General Forlough as completely successful reconnaissance raids which had inflicted heavy damage on the Alliance defenders. Kurita's response was to banish Igushi to a Combine backwater, and replace him with Sho-sho Rimas Nelsson, but with no additional support to enable combat operations, and Prinis Prime would remain safe from anything more significant than a Combine show of force for the remainder of the war until peace was declared with the Treaty of Cerberus in August 2585.[3][4]

By the mid-thirty-first century, as one of the three Alliance worlds closest to the notorious pirate haven of Antallos, Prinis Prime had been plagued by devastating bandit raids. A large part of the population had slowly given up their holdings on Prinis Prime because of the attacks; those who remained were the most stubborn and self-sufficient, and by the time Mitchell Avellar became President of the Alliance the population of Prinis Prime had long abandoned any loyalty they had to the Alliance as a state.[43]
