===Planetary History===
 
In [[3008]], [[Stapleton's Iron Hand]] fought under [[Duke of Thomas|Duke]] [[Pavel Ridzik]] on Thomas against the [[Thirty-third Avalon Hussars]] and repelled the [[Federated Suns]] force in a skilled defense of the Duke's estates.<ref name=HLCCp90>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 90: Stepleton's Iron Hand regiment profile/history.</ref>
 
 
    
 
    
In [[3011]], Thomas was again attacked by the Federated Suns; this time, the attackers were the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars]]. Pavel Ridzik personally led the [[Capellan]] counterattacks with the [[St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers]],<ref name="HLTCCp99">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation'', p. 99</ref> [[Trimaldi's Secutors]], and the [[mercenary]] unit [[Waco Rangers]] under his command. These counterattacks broke the Davion siege.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 86</ref>

In [[3011]], Thomas was again attacked by the [[Federated Suns]]; this time, the attackers were the [[42nd Avalon Hussars]]. [[Pavel Ridzik]], the Duke of Thomas, personally lead the [[Capellan]] counter-attacks with the [[St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers]]<ref name="HLTCCp99">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation'', p.99</ref>, [[Trimaldi's Secutors]] and the [[mercenary]] unit [[Waco Rangers]] under his command. These counter-attacks broke the Davion siege. <ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 86</ref>
 
 
In another report, also in 3011, the planet was raided by the [[Sirdar Capellan March Militia]]. The Davion troops had to contend not only with Thomas' militia, but also with St. Cyr's Armored Hussars. The Sirdar Capellan March Militia soon withdrew from the planet.<ref name="TRO:3039p144"/> It is unclear how these two apparently unrelated attacks are connected, or what is responsible for this discrepancy.

==Notes==  
+
== Nearby Planets ==
* On many official, published maps of the [[Inner Sphere]], Thomas does not appear. Yet it is repeatedly referenced in various publications over the years, placing it in Capellan space. ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]'' seemed to try to address this issue by describing Thomas as "not even included on many star charts."<ref name="TRO:3039p144"/> Because of all this, most information about this planet is conjecture.
