Planetary History[edit]

On Cumberland, children inherit their mother's surname rather than their father's.[44]

Dark Age[edit]

Cumberland's Missiliers formed the core of Cumberland's defenses against the invading Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry in March 3145. They fought a losing battle attempting to stem the McCarron tide. The unit's air elements were able to force most of McCarron's forces to chase them, which allowed the surviving Missiliers used the diversion to evacuate their families and over 100 planetary officials, and withdrew to Wernke.[41]

The brave Shikra pilots both went down to enemy fire. Captain Jebediah "Surefire" Cooper survived and is currently leading a resistance cell from the wilds.[41]

One of Operation WHIRLWIND's targets, MIIO worked to establish well-armed resistance cells across the planet's landmasses throughout early 3148. With the bulk of Capellan government staff keeping to the capital's vicinity—effectively abandoning the rest of the world—MIIO was confident a combined-arms battalion with local and aerospace support would be sufficient to reclaim Cumberland.[42] At some point after March or April 3148, the Confederation abandoned Cumberland along with several neighboring systems.[43]
