Planetary History[edit]

Second Succession War[edit]

Elnath was attacked during the course of a highly successful operation conducted by the Free Worlds League Military and led by the Fusiliers of Oriente in 2832; although Elnath and the nearby world of Ventabren avoided being conquered, unlike the worlds of Berenson, Kyrkbacken and Zion, the defending forces on both worlds took heavy damage before the FWLM forces were pushed back by a heavy counterattack.[30]

Third Succession War[edit]

Battle of Elnath (3015)[edit]

A number of ammunition and tank manufacturing plants located on Elnath were targets of repeated Free Worlds League raids, seriously disrupting the production schedules. The Blackwind Lancers had garrison duty on the planet, but had been taking considerable damage by the FWL raiders. The Second McCarron's Armored Cavalry commanded by Colonel Marcus Barton was sent in to relieve the Lancers, and Elnath was used as the staging area for Barton's later successful strike against Marik forces in Ohrensen that would end the raids against Elnath.[14]

Fourth Succession War[edit]

Following the speech given by First Prince Hanse Davion on the 16th of November 3029, the official day of thanks in the Federated Suns, contained a number of revelations including the creation of the St. Ives Compact and was taken by many as an open sign that the Fourth Succession War was close to ending.[31] The Armed Forces of the Federated Suns launched the Seventh Wave of Operation RAT shortly after, in a determined effort to secure as many systems as possible before an armistice was declared. The Seventh Wave capitalized on negotiations that had been conducted in secret between the Federated Suns and various planetary governments in the remnants of the Sarna Commonality who lacked defenses and were far more fearful of being annexed by the Free Worlds League, a state hated for centuries of raids and invasions, than they were the Federated Suns. In the last week of November the AFFS occupied thirteen systems, including Elnath. The AFFS encountered little resistance, and relatively few troops were needed to provide a garrison to maintain calm.[16]

Dark Age[edit]

RAF forces made a combat drop to attack Capellan Confederation forces, probably helped by the planetary militia and mercenaries trying to dislodge them from the planet.[32][33] The attack does not go well, and RAF forces are defeated. A few of them are able to escape of planet, but the planet is lost to the Republic of the Sphere.[34]
