Early History

One of five worlds to be a part of the Stewart Confederation in 2271,[2] Tania Borealis was suffering alongside the other worlds following the withdrawal of Terran authority, and by 2288 the Stewart Confederation was barely able to organize itself to order basic replacement parts for factories. The rise to power of David Genovese in 2288 marked a significant improvement in productivity across the Confederation, with his five-year rule as dictator making the state work more efficiently.[14] Genovese was overthrown when forces from the Free Worlds League led by Juliano Marik invaded in 2293, following Genovese's rebuffing offers to join the League.[3]

The Free Worlds League campaign against the Confederation lasted just four months and began inauspiciously for the Confederation; Genovese insisted on commanding the military directly, despite his lack of startegic acumen. This, combined with poor communications as a result of bad weather, led to him ordering his troops to defend land that had been turned into a swamp by monsoon rains; the Confederacy forces were swiftly defeated, and the resulting drop in morale - and faith in Genovese's leadership - resulted in a swift victory for Juliano Marik's forces. Marik captured Genovese in his palace on Stewart and made the dictator apologise in public for inconveniencing Marik's troops, before having Genovese executed.[14]

Stewart and the other worlds of the Stewart Confederation were inducted into the League Parliament in 2295 when the Parliament declared the former Confederation to be a Province of the Free Worlds League.[15]

Jihad

In late June 3070 the planetary government and military forces on Stewart switched their allegiance to the Word of Blake, bringing the world into the Word of Blake Protectorate; Stewart was one of six worlds to declare for the Blakists in the space of a week, pushing the Protectorate into Free Worlds League space.[9]

Forces from the Free Worlds League front of Operation SCOUR arrived to liberate Stewart in May 3077. The first forces on the ground were Alpha Galaxy of Clan Nova Cat, who quickly moved the 1st Nova Cat Guards to the city of New Edinburgh; Star Colonel Kalvin Rosse then broadcast a demand to the planetary government that all Blakist forces and sympathisers on Stewart surrender within two hours. Under the command of Captain Jonathan Wells, the local Protectorate Militia garrison refused to surrender and marched out of New Edinburgh to battle the Nova Cat forces, only to learn that the Nova Cats were not prepared to extend zellbrigen to the Word of Blake forces - Rosse declared that the Word of Blake was subject to a Trial of Annihilation. Over the next two hours the Nova Cats hunted down and killed the Militia forces, executing those who attempted to surrender.[16]

As at the end of May, local news broadcasts issued by Kristina Greenberg, an anchor for a local Voice of Truth affiliate, declared that the campaign on Stewart was currently an uneasy stalemate. Following the battle around New Edinburgh a number of locals apparently seized a number of Planetlifter aircraft and turned them into kamikaze aircraft by packing them with explosives and attempting to fly them into the allied coalition transports gathered around the initial landing zone. Only one such Planetlifter was believed to have managed to actually hit one of the coalition DropShips, but this was enough to pull the Nova Cat forces back into a defensive formation around the target landing zone.[16]

  • Capital City is New Endinburgh - former capital of Stewart Commonality and briefly the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth until June of 3138. The capital city also home to ancient New Endinburgh Palace.[citation needed]
