== Planetary History ==
=== Early History ===
Originally called '''New Sarna''', '''Tsinghai''' served as a prefecture capital world in the Sarna Supremacy. After the Supremacy joined the Capellan Confederation, Tsinghai's residents turned to mining and the export of nuclear fuel as the cornerstone of their economy.<ref name=HL148/>

==First Succession War==
Tsinghai was part of the Capellan Confederation until was lost to the Free Worlds League during the [[First Succession War]].<ref>''High Value Targer'' p. 185</ref>
In 2996, capellan chancellor [[Maximilian Liao]] launched a limited offensive to retake the world, with the [[Prefactorate Guard]], [[Warrior House Hiritsu]] and the [[Fifth Reserve Cavalry]] regiments. [[Skylar Orloff]], duke of the Orloff Duchy, was surprised on planet, trying to convince the planetary governor to join his duchy.
But thanks to the sacrifice of the majority of the Grenadiers, was evacuated successfully. The planet, however, was retaken easily by the Confederation forces.<ref>''High Value Target'' p. 200</ref>


=== Third Succession War ===
Over the course of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], more and more industry was transferred from other worlds near [[Sarna]] to Tsinghai. Eventually Tshinghai became a planet-sized industrial complex. After a series of raids by bandits and the Free Worlds League, Tsinghai's industrial capacity was reduced and much of the population killed or driven off-world. In 3025, the remaining residents focused their energy on creating some of the finest wines in the Confederation.<ref name=HL148/>

=== Fourth Succession War ===
Following the speech given by [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] on the 16th of November [[3029]], the official day of thanks in the Federated Suns, contained a number of revelations including the creation of the [[St. Ives Compact]] and was taken by many as an open sign that the [[Fourth Succession War]] was close to ending.<ref name="4SWv2p58">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 58, "Thanksgiving"</ref> The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] launched the Seventh Wave of [[Operation RAT]] shortly after, in a determined effort to secure as many systems as possible for an armistice was declared. The Seventh Wave capitalized on negotiations that had been conducted in secret between the Federated Suns and various planetary governments in the remnants of the [[Sarna Commonality]] who lacked defenses and were far more fearful of being annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]], a state hated for centuries of raids and invasions, than they were the Federated Suns. In the last week of November the AFFS occupied thirteen systems, encountering little resistance, and relatively few troops were needed to provide a garrison to maintain calm.<ref name="4SWv2p59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59, "Seventh Wave"</ref>

Tsinghai was the exception during the Seventh Wave; in contrast with the thirteen easily-annexed worlds, Tsinghai had a front-line garrison, consisting of a [[battalion]] from the [[Fifth Confederation Reserve Cavalry]] and the First Battalion of [[Preston's Lancers]]. Without much time to plan, the Capellan Operations Command of the AFFS attempted to use numbers to compensate for a lack of information and planning time, and deployed two regiments of the [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] - [[Gamma Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Gamma]] and [[Delta Regiment (12th Vegan Rangers)|Delta Regiments]], respectively - and the complete [[Twentieth Avalon Hussars]] [[Regimental Combat Team]]. The task force landed on Tsinghai on the 8th of December, with the Vegan Rangers targeting the Fifth CRC while the Twentieth Hussars engaged Preston's Lancers. The Rangers were able to bracket the Fifth CRC troops in a long valley, using numbers to their advantage and outflanking the Cavalry; the Cavalry had luck on their side, and were able to fight through to their [[DropShip]]s and abandon Tsinghai after losing only half their strength.<ref name="4SWv2p59A">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59, "Tsinghai"</ref>

Preston's Lancers were able to avoid being encircled by the Hussars, breaking through the Hussars' line, but were soon being attacked by the Hussars' [[aerospace fighter]]s and a regiment of [[hovertank]]s. The Lancers retreated into the Hornatio Valley, a twisting river valley, with the Hussars in close pursuit. The Lancers launched several ambushes against the more numerous Hussar forces, until the Hussars dispatched a [['Mech]] battalion and an armored regiment around to the river delta and used their other forces to drive the Lancers towards them. The Hussars' trap was successful, and after two days of combat in the river delta a single [[company]] of Lancers managed to escape, leaving the planet under Federated Suns control.<ref name="4SWv2p59A"/>
