Early History
Wasat was notionally a client state of the Capellan Hegemony prior to the war between the Hegemony and the Sarna Supremacy in the early 24th century, but in 2306 Prime Magnate Paula Aris of the Hegemony negotiated with the Free Worlds League to obtain military support for the war against the Supremacy in exchange for Capellan support for various League territorial campaigns. Much to the embarassment of Aris and the Hegemony, the military aid provided by the League turned out to be little more than newly-trained militia units, and the League also proceeded to occupy both Wasat and the nearby world of Berenson with the intention of reclaiming both.[10]
Within a few years, the newly-created Terran Hegemony negotiated the Treaty of Geneva with the Free Worlds League, an agreement which saw the Terran Hegemony's military attentions focused elsewhere, and which also saw Director-General James McKenna repeatedly side with Free Worlds League claims over those of the various Capellan states. One of the first of these acts was the confirmation of the Free Worlds League's possession of Wasat.[11]
The Jihad
The Blackhearts were stationed on Wasat during the opening stages of the Jihad. They faced the Word of Blake's Third Division.[citation needed]
On the 28th of January 3071 the Blackhearts were in retreat when the Word of Black forces detonated a nuclear device in the capital city - apparently as an act of spite - resulting in the deaths of 30,000 civilians.[23]
Coalition forces invaded Wasat on the 10th of January 3077 as one of the first two worlds to be targeted during Operation SCOUR.[24] Attacked initially by Group II of the Free Worlds League task force under the command of Duke Leonard Stewart, the defenses on Wasat proved to be more robust and developed than originally expected. The 7th Pesht Regulars sustained heavy damage[25] and the Home Guard was nearly wiped out[26] during the initial attacks; as a result, the second in command of the Free Worlds League front, Khan Santin West of Clan Nova Cat brought Group III to Wasat to assist Group II. Group III was spearheaded by Clan Nova Cat's Alpha Galaxy with ComStar's 4th Army and the 20th Marik Militia in support. The Blakists on Wasat were unable to coordinate an effective defense against the combined strength of both Group II and Group III, and by the 4th of March 3077 saKhan West was giving an interview on the liberation of Wasat to Nigel Holmgren of INN.[25]
