Planetary History[edit]
Antwerp was one of the worlds that formed a part of the Deep Periphery nation known as the Hanseatic League.[2] It was also the site of the only military manufacturing plant in the Hanseatic League.[3]
In 3073,[4] forces from Clan Ice Hellion raided Antwerp, which was the home base of Regional Defense Force 2; the superior Clan weaponry more than compensated for the superior numbers RDF 2 could field, and as a result while the defensive forces successfully drove the Ice Hellions off, the RDF took more than fifty percent casualties in the process. Despite the losses taken, the surviving personnel took great pride in having driven off the "Clan invaders".[5]
