In [[2815]] during the [[First Succession War]], Capellan controlled Westphalia came under attack from an entirely unexpected foe: [[House Steiner]]. The Lyran employed [[Freeman's Fanatics]] [[mercenary unit]] arrived to raid the planet, but the slower and heavier Lyran [['Mech]]s were at disadvantage against the more mobile [[First Chesterton Voltigeurs]], with the Voltigeurs forcing the Fanatics to withdraw after an "island hopping" campaign that lasted for weeks.<ref name=HLTCC-83>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 83</ref><ref name=FSW-108>''First Succession War'', pp. 108–109: "Oddities of the Succession War - Why, Westphalia?"</ref>

=== Second Succession War ===
−
'''Westphalia''' was a part of the [[Sarna Commonality]] of the Capellan Confederation, located between [[Ashkum]] and [[Tecumseh]], and was conquered by the Federated Suns during the [[2nd Succession War]].<ref name="HB:HLp39"/> Westphalia vanished from maps during the [[3rd Succession War]].<ref name="HB:HLp39"/><ref name="HB:HLp40"/>
+
During [[Operation RAIN]], one of two counteroffensives launched by the Federated Suns against the Capellan Confederation in late October [[2829]], Westphalia was invaded by the [[Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]]. Defending Westphalia was the responsibility of the First Chesterton Voltigeurs, who were supported by a pair of marine regiments and five companies of hovercraft, suited to Westphalia's water-rich environment. The Hussars had planned for this though, and had brought a substantial contingent of conventional forces suitable for blue-water operations with them - including hovercraft, hydrofoils and even a pair of submarines. While [[BattleMech]]s fought battles on the islands and littoral areas, naval battles in the deeper waters of the ocean saw hundreds dying, either lost with their ships or lost to starvation and thirst after being cast adrift. The Hussars eventually proved the more skilled of the two 'Mech commands, and after eleven weeks of combat the survivors of the Voltigeurs surrendered, and were shipped off to POW camps deeper in the [[Capellan March]].<ref name="SSWp28">''Second Succession War'', p. 28: "The Suns-Confederation Front"</ref>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates125.246 : -103.713[e]

The Westphalia system was home to at least one habitable world or construct and as of 2750 was located in the Sarna Commonality within the Capellan Confederation.[1]

System Description

The Westphalia system is located near the Axton and Goshen systems.[1]

System History

The Westphalia system was settled during the Star League era at some point after the Reunification War.[2][1] The Westphalia system was conquered by the Federated Suns during the Second Succession War,[3] and vanished from maps during the Third Succession War,[3][4] indicating that the system had been abandoned or depopulated.

Planetary History

First Succession War

In 2815 during the First Succession War, Capellan controlled Westphalia came under attack from an entirely unexpected foe: House Steiner. The Lyran employed Freeman's Fanatics mercenary unit arrived to raid the planet, but the slower and heavier Lyran 'Mechs were at disadvantage against the more mobile First Chesterton Voltigeurs, with the Voltigeurs forcing the Fanatics to withdraw after an "island hopping" campaign that lasted for weeks.[31][32]

Second Succession War

During Operation RAIN, one of two counteroffensives launched by the Federated Suns against the Capellan Confederation in late October 2829, Westphalia was invaded by the Twenty-second Avalon Hussars. Defending Westphalia was the responsibility of the First Chesterton Voltigeurs, who were supported by a pair of marine regiments and five companies of hovercraft, suited to Westphalia's water-rich environment. The Hussars had planned for this though, and had brought a substantial contingent of conventional forces suitable for blue-water operations with them - including hovercraft, hydrofoils and even a pair of submarines. While BattleMechs fought battles on the islands and littoral areas, naval battles in the deeper waters of the ocean saw hundreds dying, either lost with their ships or lost to starvation and thirst after being cast adrift. The Hussars eventually proved the more skilled of the two 'Mech commands, and after eleven weeks of combat the survivors of the Voltigeurs surrendered, and were shipped off to POW camps deeper in the Capellan March.[13]
