Planetary History
Spica was one of ten worlds assaulted by the CCAF during the third week of March 3069, a wave of attacks that formed a part of Operation THUNDERSTRIKE, the Capellan counteroffensive against the Capellan March in defiance of Duke George Hasek's campaign Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE.[27] Word of Blake forces from the nearby world of Kittery conquered Spica in the first week of November 3069.[20]
In March 3069 the mercenary unit known as the Federated Freemen were attempting to rebuild on Spica following heavy damage taken during SOVEREIGN JUSTICE when the Capellan First Janissary Brigade assaulted Spica. Colonel Xavier Pelt of the Freemen tried several feints to disrupt the Janissary Brigade, to no avail; with complete aerial supremacy, the Janissaries continually ground the Freemen down while launching devastating low-level attacks with VTOLs and Mechbusters. Colonel Pelt was killed on the 30th of April, at which point the surviving elements of the Freemen - some two mixed companies of combat vehicles and BattleMechs - negotiated a peaceful withdrawal, leaving hundreds of tons of 'Mech salvage behind.[19]
Notes
It was confirmed by the Line Developers that the maps used in many of the Handbooks are in error or are misleading, and that Spica was a contested world between 3025-3029, and has been a Federated Suns possession since.
“ | Spica is disputed in 3025-3029. It's Feddie since, it's just the maps are misleading.
The "CC" units on Spica in FM:U are all traitors terrorists being funded by the Haseks, as Free Capella.
