Planetary History
The Jihad
Left independent in the wake of the dissolution of the Free Worlds League on 28 January 3079, Sackville was soon under pressure from external forces. While the Principality of Regulus destroyed the heart of the Circinus Federation with nuclear fire, survivors from the numerous pirates in the region plagued nearby worlds, and Sackville was one of their targets. One particular band, known as Lincoln's Rotting Corpse, raided Sackville so frequently in 3082 that the government was left desperately calling for help while betting houses on the planet took bets on when the raiders would arrive again.[10]
The nearby Duchy of Tamarind declined to assist Sackville, feeling that the world had nothing to offer the Duchy; however, help came from an unexpected source, when Colonel Yoshio Kawamura led a combined-arms force from the First Marik Protectors - the former Tenth Marik Militia - to hunt the pirates. Accurately predicting a strike against the warehouses in the city of Tighfield, Kawamura established an executed a hugely successful ambush. Kawamura's tactics were so successful that many of the pirates were killed, the Protectors captured a Mule-class pirate DropShip, leading the other pirate DropShips to abandon those on the ground, and as the surviving pirates went to ground a grateful planetary government declared Kawamura an honorary citizen and paid the Protectors a hefty enough bonus for them to expand their ranks with a new company of hovertanks.[10]
