Planetary History[edit]
FedCom Civil War Era[edit]
On 4 April 3067, Clan Diamond Shark merchant Mark Sennet attempted to conduct a live-fire demonstration of the Ha Otoko near Feuerberg for potential sale to the Hanseatic League. However, Regional Defense Force Four Major Hohiro Watanabe betrayed him in order to steal Clan equipment. This effort was unsuccessful and Sennet escaped with his life and his 'Mech.[5]
Hanseatic Crusade[edit]
During Escorpión Imperio's takeover of the Hanseatic League, Alpha Galaxy advanced on Riga as part of Wave 4 in May 3140 after defeating Regional Defense Force Five on Köningsberg earlier in Wave 3. Riga fell with ease.[4]
