Planetary History[edit]
Clan Invasion[edit]
Situated deep within the Draconis Combine, Sheliak was a minor planet with few resources. In fact, it was of such little military value that even during the Clan Invasion, when Sheliak suddenly found itself near the front lines, the DCMS did not assign any troops to defend it. Thus in December 3051, when Clan Ghost Bear invasion forces appeared over Sheliak, the planetary government was in a state of panic and agreed to a desperate plan proposed by football commissioner Jimmy "Straight Jim" Lorne.
Confident that the Clans knew nothing of the game of football, a challenge was issued by Sheliak's government. If the Ghost Bears won a game against the Sheliak Professional Football League, they would claim the planet; if they lost, then Sheliak would remain free. Unfortunately for both Sheliak's population and their football players, the Bears not only knew the rules of the game, but deployed a team of eight-foot-tall Elementals from the 68th Striker Cluster's 78th Elemental Support Binary. During the match at Kurita Stadium, the Sheliak All-Star team was utterly smashed and lost the game, 84 to 3. During the postgame show the planetary government surrendered control of Sheliak to the Ghost Bear Clan.[21][36]
Dark Age[edit]
The Bears proved to be a good ruler for Sheliak, and they protected the planet well against Combine raids. Ironically, the consequences of planet’s peaceful conquest still plague it to this day: the famous football game was repeated by friendly matches and historical rematches, with similar results: the warrior caste amateurs repeatedly trashed Sheliak's civilians, even when bolstered by Elemental washouts. However, hooliganism and poor sportmanship are chronic problems.[37]
IlClan Era[edit]
The dawn of the IlClan Era saw Sheliak's peace broken: the Dominion Civil War also affected them. Deniers campaign trips against joining the Star League turned violent with firebombing and murders. This forced the Third Freemen to make a brutal door-to-door campaign to root the resistance group.[38]
