Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

One of the first colonies founded, Lipton was a unique combination of old and new. Though capable of supporting light industry, Lipton's population preferred to make their money via trading. This allowed them to maintain their "frontier" mentality and lifestyle. During the Outer Reaches Rebellion Lipton didn't fight or contribute money to those worlds that did. Rather they used passive resistance to show their desire to leave the Terran Alliance.[1] Alliance militia battalions on Lipton refused to board their transports when called up to fight during the rebellion, fleeing into the hinterlands of Lipton before they could be arrested.[2]

Having become independent as a result of the Demarcation Declaration, Lipton was subsequently added to the resurgent Terran Hegemony; whilst some worlds joined the Hegemony during its early years as a result of diplomatic and trade incentives, many more were conquered in "campaigns of persuasion" launched by Director-General James McKenna, the first of which began in 2316 and ended with the capture of Towne in 2317. Lipton was one of the worlds added to the Hegemony during or around the time of this first military campaign.[36][3][4]

Star League Era[edit]

Despite being a part of the Tyrfing Province of the Terran Hegemony following the Reunification War,[5] the same frontier mentality and pride in their own self-sufficiency that had been a part of the character of the inhabitant of Lipton during the era of the Terran Alliance stayed with their descendants throughout their time in the Star League and during their time as part of the Isle of Skye. In fact, during the FedCom Civil War, Lipton's people sided with the Free Skye Movement.[1]

First Succession War[edit]

Lipton was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth border worlds to be struck by a devastating cross-border raids by the Free Worlds League between 2786 and 2790, as the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the Bolan Thumb while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery and the Free Worlds League Military.[12]

The Jihad[edit]

It wasn't until the Jihad that the Liptoners had their illusions shattered. Mercenaries employed by the Word of Blake raided the world, destroying both the main base used by the Fourth Alliance Guards and several industrial complexes. The destruction of these factories sent the world's economy into depression, and the lack of trade during the Jihad further damaged Lipton's economy.[1]

Lipton was subsequently incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and in 3076 the Word of Blake deployed the First Lipton Protectorate Militia Division to Dyev as part of a counterassault against invading forces from Clan Ghost Bear. The apparent destruction of the various Divisions the Word of Blake had assembled on Dyev[37] doubtlessly aided the allied coalition forces operating on the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR, as forces led by Duke Robert Kelswa-Steiner struck at Lipton in November 3077, quick crushing any resistance on the planet.[38]

It wasn't until the Republic of the Sphere took control of Lipton that sufficient funds were found to allow Lipton to recover. In fact, one of the largest employers is Redstorm Fashions, Limited, a textile manufacturer owned by the planetary governor. These textile exports are well on the way to rebuilding Lipton's economy.[1]
