Planetary History[edit]

Clan Invasion[edit]

Domain was invaded by Clan Wolf in January 3052 as part of Operation REVIVAL's Fifth Wave. At the time the planet was defended by the 2nd Knights of St. Cameron, along with the First and Second Domain Militia Brigades. As devout disciples of House Cameron the Knights were at first unsure whether to fight the Clans or honor these descendants of the SLDF, but in the end they decided to stay true to their contract with the Federated Commonwealth. When the 352nd Assault Cluster made their landing the Knights confronted them on the Cesswarn Plain but, outmaneuvered and outclassed, were forced to retreat towards the Kusson Mountains. Before they could reach safety the Knights were outflanked at the Zazz River, suffering further losses. The unit was finally destroyed in the last battle at the capital city Kusson, but though they had opportunity to do so the survivors did not retreat off-world. Their exact fate is unknown, with one of the more popular theories being that they actually joined Clan Wolf.[34]

Jihad[edit]

Clan Wolf used the attacks on the Lyran Alliance launched by Clan Jade Falcon during the Jihad to launch their own series of planetary conquests, typically shadowing the Jade Falcon advance. A wave of attacks saw the Wolves capture Domain, along with Jabuka, La Grave, Orkney, and Rasalgethi, through the first week of October 3069.[39]

Military Deployment[edit]

Geography[edit]

Domain is a world of rolling plains and steppes.[53]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Cesswarn Plain: site of a notable battle during Operation REVIVAL[34]
  • Kusson: the planetary capital city[34]
  • Kusson Mountains: mountainous region around the planetary capital; site of a notable battle during Operation REVIVAL[34]
  • Zazz River: site of a notable battle during Operation REVIVAL[34]

Notes[edit]

There appears to be some confusion regarding the deployment of the Knights of St. Cameron on Domain. In 20 Year Update, the 2nd Regiment of the Knights of St. Cameron was listed as stationed on Domain in 3050. But in Wolf Clan Sourcebook, published after 20 Year Update, it was the 1st Regiment that was listed as defending Domain in 3052. However, Historical: War of 3039, printed after the Wolf Clan Sourcebook, provided info that it was the 2nd Regiment that was stationed on Domain in 3040. While it is possible that the two regiments may have switched deployments there is no evidence to show this happening nor sound reasoning to back the position up. So this article is written to show the 2nd Regiment as present on world in 3052 and the reference to the 1st Regiment in the Wolf Clan Sourcebook is considered to be in error.
