Planetary History[edit]
War of 3039[edit]
During the War of 3039, Matar was targeted for its strategic position. From Matar the attackers could land on either Proserpina or Irurzun. The First Kestrel Grenadiers and First Kathil Uhlans landed on the world in April, but a series of poor drops left the AFFS forces scattered across the Tri-City Region. After twenty-eighth hours of hard fighting, the AFFS forces had claimed all their objectives, but a regiment of militia armor and a population loyal to the Draconis Combine resisted the invasion. To make matters worse, Matar's citizens hunted the world's plentiful wildlife as a pastime so they were well armed.[41]
In late September 3039, the Eleventh Ghost and Twelfth Ghost regiments arrived. Close combat in the Tri-Cities resulted in a great deal of collateral damage, resulting in the population taking up arms against the AFFS forces. After two more months of hard fighting, the Tri-Cities was effectively destroyed and the DCMS troops had successfully driven the AFFS off Matar.[42]
