| + | ===Planetary History=== | ||
| + | ====Founding==== | ||
| + | Steelton was settled by a mixture of artists and craftsmen from [[Kufstein]] and [[Predlitz]], technicians from [[St. John]] and engineers from [[New Bergen]]. This eclectic mix of settlers were refugees fleeing from the [[Rasalhague Principality]] as a result of [[Shiro Kurita|Shiro Kurita's]] campaign to try and annex this nation during the 2330–2340s.<ref name="TP1Ep17">''The Periphery, First Edition'', p. 17: "Inner Sphere Politics"</ref> | ||
| − | + | ====Rim Worlds Republic==== | |
| − | + | Steelton was one of the worlds targeted by [[Maxwell Rowe]] during his efforts to build up the [[Rim Worlds Republic]], beginning in [[2330]]; Rowe began by negotiating a series of trade and barter pacts with worlds like Steelton, carefully avoiding any suggestions of a military alliance, defensive or otherwise. Rowe added offers of social and technological favors including access to new Rim Worlds Republic university facilities over time, and through guile and slow but steady progress persuaded the natives of Steelton to join the Republic.<ref name="TP1Ep18">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 18: "From Rim to Tamar"</ref> | |

| − | === | + | ====Reunification War==== |
| − | Steelton was | + | By the end of the [[Age of War]] Steelton was a member of the [[Apollo Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130: "The Spark"</ref> Stationed on Steelton at the time were elements of the [[Fifth Amaris Fusiliers]], who remained loyal to Amaris and who would remain on the planet for more than fifteen years.<ref name="H:RWp154">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 154: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (Jump-Off - 2587)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp155">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 155: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref> |
| − | + | The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133: "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref> It was during this stage that the detachments of the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers stationed on [[Star's End]] and [[Persistence]] were neutralized by Star League forces, leaving the detachment on Steelton as the last active contingent from the Fifth.<ref name="H:RWp155"/> | |
| − | |||
| − | + | In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref> | |
| − | + | [[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] assigned two [[division]]s to the assault on Steelton in mid [[2595]], a much larger force than the surviving elements of the Fifth Fusiliers; in one of the few actions where divisions from different [[corps]] fought alongside each other, the [[Eleventh Royal Division]] from [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]] and the [[Sixteenth Division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] landed on Steelton.<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref> With the defeat of the Fifth Fusiliers and the capture of Steelton Task Force MAILED FIST had secured the last world controlling the approaches to Apollo<ref name="H:RWp139">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139: "Bitter Harvests (2591-2596)"</ref> although military operations continued; the Sixteenth remained on Steelton until the end of Operation MAILED FIST in late [[2596]], but the Eleventh redeployed in [[2596]] to capture the [[Vulture's Nest]] system.<ref name="H:RWp153"/> | |
| − | + | ====Amaris Civil War==== | |
| + | After the SLDF left the Rim Worlds Republic in early [[2772]] on its quest to [[Operation LIBERATION|liberate Terra]], pro-[[House Amaris|Amaris]] supporters who had been largely in the shadows, biding their time during the occupation, now came out of hiding with a vengeance. A terror bombing killed several thousand people in the capital of Cregan's Bluff and the struggling Planetary Authority succumbed to riots.<ref name=HB:MPSp36-37/> | ||
| − | + | Steelton was conquered by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during the [[2773]]–[[2775]] [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37: "The Republic–Commonwealth War"</ref> | |

| − | Steelton was the target of one of the diversionary raids launched by the [[DCMS]] in [[2866]] in order to divert Lyran forces from the [[Federation of Skye]]. <ref name="HKp74">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 74 | + | Steelton was the target of one of the diversionary raids launched by the [[DCMS]] in [[2866]] in order to divert Lyran forces from the [[Federation of Skye]].<ref name="HKp74">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 74: "Is War the Natural State of Man?"</ref> |
| − | === Clan Invasion | + | ====Clan Invasion==== |
| − | In April | + | In April [[3050]], Clan Jade Falcon dispatched the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth]] and the [[12th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twelfth Falcon Regulars]] [[Cluster|Clusters]] to take Steelton. The world's defenses were led by [[Colonel]] [[Charles Carranza|Charles Francis Carranza]], commanding the planet's militia force and the First Regiment of the [[Twelfth Star Guards]]. Colonel Carranza bluffed the Jade Falcon forces by making it appear he had a [[brigade]] of forces defending the planet. The inflated number of troops forced the bidding Jade Falcon commander to call in reinforcements which ultimately led to the Colonel's demise. The Falcons targeted the planet's capital city of Cregan's Bluff as the main objective; in the course of the battle the Twelfth Star Guards positions were overrun by Falcon forces, but the Twelfth managed to hold their positions long enough for elements of the Star Guards and the surviving militia forces to evacuate the planet, although Colonel Carranza was killed.<ref name="JFSBp37"/> |

Planetary History[edit]
Founding[edit]
Steelton was settled by a mixture of artists and craftsmen from Kufstein and Predlitz, technicians from St. John and engineers from New Bergen. This eclectic mix of settlers were refugees fleeing from the Rasalhague Principality as a result of Shiro Kurita's campaign to try and annex this nation during the 2330–2340s.[4]
Rim Worlds Republic[edit]
Steelton was one of the worlds targeted by Maxwell Rowe during his efforts to build up the Rim Worlds Republic, beginning in 2330; Rowe began by negotiating a series of trade and barter pacts with worlds like Steelton, carefully avoiding any suggestions of a military alliance, defensive or otherwise. Rowe added offers of social and technological favors including access to new Rim Worlds Republic university facilities over time, and through guile and slow but steady progress persuaded the natives of Steelton to join the Republic.[5]
Reunification War[edit]
By the end of the Age of War Steelton was a member of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[6] Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[46] Stationed on Steelton at the time were elements of the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers, who remained loyal to Amaris and who would remain on the planet for more than fifteen years.[47][48]
The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing Operation MAILED FIST, the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near Apollo,[49] until a destructive raid on Alarion by the Fourth Amaris Fusiliers in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing Rim Worlds Army concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.[50] It was during this stage that the detachments of the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers stationed on Star's End and Persistence were neutralized by Star League forces, leaving the detachment on Steelton as the last active contingent from the Fifth.[48]
In late 2584 the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584.[51]
General Nathan Isaacson assigned two divisions to the assault on Steelton in mid 2595, a much larger force than the surviving elements of the Fifth Fusiliers; in one of the few actions where divisions from different corps fought alongside each other, the Eleventh Royal Division from IV Corps and the Sixteenth Division from VI Corps landed on Steelton.[52] With the defeat of the Fifth Fusiliers and the capture of Steelton Task Force MAILED FIST had secured the last world controlling the approaches to Apollo[53] although military operations continued; the Sixteenth remained on Steelton until the end of Operation MAILED FIST in late 2596, but the Eleventh redeployed in 2596 to capture the Vulture's Nest system.[52]
Amaris Civil War[edit]
After the SLDF left the Rim Worlds Republic in early 2772 on its quest to liberate Terra, pro-Amaris supporters who had been largely in the shadows, biding their time during the occupation, now came out of hiding with a vengeance. A terror bombing killed several thousand people in the capital of Cregan's Bluff and the struggling Planetary Authority succumbed to riots.[45]
Steelton was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773–2775 Republic-Commonwealth War.[16]
Third Succession War[edit]
Steelton was the target of one of the diversionary raids launched by the DCMS in 2866 in order to divert Lyran forces from the Federation of Skye.[54]
Clan Invasion[edit]
In April 3050, Clan Jade Falcon dispatched the Eighth and the Twelfth Falcon Regulars Clusters to take Steelton. The world's defenses were led by Colonel Charles Francis Carranza, commanding the planet's militia force and the First Regiment of the Twelfth Star Guards. Colonel Carranza bluffed the Jade Falcon forces by making it appear he had a brigade of forces defending the planet. The inflated number of troops forced the bidding Jade Falcon commander to call in reinforcements which ultimately led to the Colonel's demise. The Falcons targeted the planet's capital city of Cregan's Bluff as the main objective; in the course of the battle the Twelfth Star Guards positions were overrun by Falcon forces, but the Twelfth managed to hold their positions long enough for elements of the Star Guards and the surviving militia forces to evacuate the planet, although Colonel Carranza was killed.[28]
Jihad[edit]
During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses launched an invasion of Clan Wolf holdings in the Inner Sphere, acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. Steelton was one of the first worlds targeted, and was attacked in the opening wave of attacks that fell between 21 and 28 February 3071.[37] The acquisition of Steelton by the Hell's Horses wasn't unopposed; between 7 and 14 April 3071, Clan Jade Falcon launched an attack against the Hell's Horses forces on the world.[55] Despite the efforts of the Jade Falcons, the Hell's Horses managed to recapture Steelton by the end of June.[38]
