| + | ===Planetary Info=== | ||
| + | ====Early History==== | ||
| + | Terra Firma has long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with neighboring [[Capolla]]. Covered in huge forests and possessing abundant mineral resources, Terra Firma formed several trade agreements with its neighboring world. The two planets worked so well together that for many years they didn't need to have a military industry. The success of the two worlds allowed them to get additional independence from their Terran Hegemony overseers, who understood that they'd be better served by just leaving the two worlds alone to be the production powerhouses they were. This policy of noninterference would be honored by every other power that claimed control of the worlds throughout the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name=DARWp252/> | ||
| − | == | + | ====Fourth Succession War==== |
| − | + | Following negotiations between [[Colonel]] [[Pavel Ridzik]], chief military advisor to [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]], and [[AFFS]] [[Lieutenant General]] [[Ardan Sortek]], conducted in February [[3029]] Ridzik created a new nation, the Tikonov Free Republic. The Republic was created by incorporating those worlds of the [[Tikonov Commonality]] that hadn't already been conquered during the first half of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Ridzik returned to [[Elgin]], the new capital of the Tikonov Free Republic, on the 3rd of March 3029 and swiftly began implementing a new government consisting of family members, friends and other appointees loyal to himself, purging dissident elements on the various Republic worlds and taking the opportunity to settle old scores. Terra Firma was one of the systems incorporated into the Republic.<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> | |

| − | == | + | ====Operation GUERRERO==== |
| − | = | + | After the chaos of [[Operation GUERRERO]], Terra Firma was heavily damaged by fighting on the world. Terra Firma and Capolla formed the Terracap Confederation, and this started Terra Firma on the road to recovery, but what really gave the planet new life was the [[Word of Blake]]'s investment in infrastructure and other aid programs. In exchange for the right to place military bases and "defensive troops" on Terra Firma, the Blakists sent technical advisers and civil engineers to the world. By honoring the Terracap Confederation's independence and pledging their troops to defend both worlds, the Blakists were able to gain the support of the Terra Firmans.<ref name=DARWp252/> |
| − | |||
| − | === | + | ====The Jihad==== |
| − | + | The Blakists used their popular support on Terra Firma to their advantage; planting Word of Blake sympathizers in the local government allowed the Word to take over the world without a shot being fired, and by the 1st of August 3068 the Word had full control of the government on Terra Firma.<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> In fact most of the Terra Firmans didn't realize that they were being bombarded by xenophobic propaganda until after they agreed to serve in the [[Word of Blake Militia]]. With the horrors of the [[Jihad]] swirling around them however, the Terra Firmans resisted the Word of Blake forces on their homeworld. Resistance movements started on Terra Firma as early as [[3070]]. Many of these resistance cells were created by survivors of the [[Seventh Kommando]], [[Wolf's Dragoons]]' special operations unit. In [[3073]] the new [[Black Widow Company]] arrived and fought the [[Opacus Venatori]]. This was an inconclusive battle, but the Word's High Command began to pay attention to the world. The Terra Firma Protectorate Militia was scrutinized by Word [[ROM]] and expanded to face the guerrilla threat. Most of this manpower came from the [[New Terran Party]], and the expanded [[Terra Firma Protectorate Militia]] was placed under the command of that party's leader, [[Marius Verloewen]].<ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 86</ref> His heavy-handed tactics, including reprisals against civilians, worked and by [[3076]] the resistance was isolated into one location. However the Coalition sent reinforcements and agents provocateurs to stiffen the resistance. These partisans were brutally killed, and the population rose up against their Word oppressors.<ref name=tc87>''Total Chaos'', p. 87</ref> | |
| − | + | In [[3078]] they were able to drive the Blakists away with the assistance of the Coalition.<ref name=DARWp252/> The cost of liberating Terra Firma was high, though; the battle for the world stretched between the 9th and 17th of February 3078, but the booby traps set in place by the defending Blakist forces left most of Terra Firma's capital in ruins<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> and saw mercenary forces being brought in to assist the embattled [[Ryuken-roku]] as they cleared the city block by block.<ref name="JHS:Tp84+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 84–85: "Chaos Eternal: Trick or Trap"</ref> Particularly deadly were the traps set by the New Terran Party members. These traps basically destroyed the planetary capital of Aserlitz, as did the New Terrans' suicidal last stand.<ref name=tc87/> | |
| − | |||
| − | === | + | ====Dark Age==== |
| − | + | Located within the [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic of the Sphere's]] [[Prefecture X]], Terra Firma remained under Republic control when [[Fortress Republic]] was enacted in [[3135]]. After [[The Wall|the Wall]] was brought down in January [[3149]], however, the planet was targeted by the CCAF during Wave One of [[Operation BÀOYÌNG]] and fell in March to the [[First McCarron's Armored Cavalry|First MAC]] and [[Warrior House Ijori]].<ref name=SFp64/><ref name=SFp100/> | |

Planetary Info[edit]
Early History[edit]
Terra Firma has long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with neighboring Capolla. Covered in huge forests and possessing abundant mineral resources, Terra Firma formed several trade agreements with its neighboring world. The two planets worked so well together that for many years they didn't need to have a military industry. The success of the two worlds allowed them to get additional independence from their Terran Hegemony overseers, who understood that they'd be better served by just leaving the two worlds alone to be the production powerhouses they were. This policy of noninterference would be honored by every other power that claimed control of the worlds throughout the Succession Wars.[1]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
Following negotiations between Colonel Pavel Ridzik, chief military advisor to Chancellor Maximilian Liao, and AFFS Lieutenant General Ardan Sortek, conducted in February 3029 Ridzik created a new nation, the Tikonov Free Republic. The Republic was created by incorporating those worlds of the Tikonov Commonality that hadn't already been conquered during the first half of the Fourth Succession War. Ridzik returned to Elgin, the new capital of the Tikonov Free Republic, on the 3rd of March 3029 and swiftly began implementing a new government consisting of family members, friends and other appointees loyal to himself, purging dissident elements on the various Republic worlds and taking the opportunity to settle old scores. Terra Firma was one of the systems incorporated into the Republic.[22]
Operation GUERRERO[edit]
After the chaos of Operation GUERRERO, Terra Firma was heavily damaged by fighting on the world. Terra Firma and Capolla formed the Terracap Confederation, and this started Terra Firma on the road to recovery, but what really gave the planet new life was the Word of Blake's investment in infrastructure and other aid programs. In exchange for the right to place military bases and "defensive troops" on Terra Firma, the Blakists sent technical advisers and civil engineers to the world. By honoring the Terracap Confederation's independence and pledging their troops to defend both worlds, the Blakists were able to gain the support of the Terra Firmans.[1]
The Jihad[edit]
The Blakists used their popular support on Terra Firma to their advantage; planting Word of Blake sympathizers in the local government allowed the Word to take over the world without a shot being fired, and by the 1st of August 3068 the Word had full control of the government on Terra Firma.[38] In fact most of the Terra Firmans didn't realize that they were being bombarded by xenophobic propaganda until after they agreed to serve in the Word of Blake Militia. With the horrors of the Jihad swirling around them however, the Terra Firmans resisted the Word of Blake forces on their homeworld. Resistance movements started on Terra Firma as early as 3070. Many of these resistance cells were created by survivors of the Seventh Kommando, Wolf's Dragoons' special operations unit. In 3073 the new Black Widow Company arrived and fought the Opacus Venatori. This was an inconclusive battle, but the Word's High Command began to pay attention to the world. The Terra Firma Protectorate Militia was scrutinized by Word ROM and expanded to face the guerrilla threat. Most of this manpower came from the New Terran Party, and the expanded Terra Firma Protectorate Militia was placed under the command of that party's leader, Marius Verloewen.[49] His heavy-handed tactics, including reprisals against civilians, worked and by 3076 the resistance was isolated into one location. However the Coalition sent reinforcements and agents provocateurs to stiffen the resistance. These partisans were brutally killed, and the population rose up against their Word oppressors.[50]
In 3078 they were able to drive the Blakists away with the assistance of the Coalition.[1] The cost of liberating Terra Firma was high, though; the battle for the world stretched between the 9th and 17th of February 3078, but the booby traps set in place by the defending Blakist forces left most of Terra Firma's capital in ruins[51] and saw mercenary forces being brought in to assist the embattled Ryuken-roku as they cleared the city block by block.[52] Particularly deadly were the traps set by the New Terran Party members. These traps basically destroyed the planetary capital of Aserlitz, as did the New Terrans' suicidal last stand.[50]
Dark Age[edit]
Located within the Republic of the Sphere's Prefecture X, Terra Firma remained under Republic control when Fortress Republic was enacted in 3135. After the Wall was brought down in January 3149, however, the planet was targeted by the CCAF during Wave One of Operation BÀOYÌNG and fell in March to the First MAC and Warrior House Ijori.[46][47]
