Early History[edit]

New India was discovered and colonized in the early to mid-twenty-second century. Like many systems in the anti-spinward region of the Inner Sphere, New India was discovered by explorers drawn from those regions of Terra known as Africa, the Middle East and Far East, who were driven by a common motivation; to escape the heavily centralized government on Terra, and avoid being caught once more between factions of the Terran Alliance. A garden world like Qurayyat, those who were drawn to colonize New India were the descendants of those who had lived within the Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere and others who had been trapped between the fragmented splinter states of the former Soviet Union and the assorted NATO countries; New India was already established as a colony world before a second wave of colonization would sweep through the region in the wake of the Outer Reaches Rebellion.[2]

Reunification War[edit]

By the end of the Age of War, New India was a world within the Timbuktu Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[3] Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[39] New India was garrisoned by a detachment from the Fourth Amaris Fusiliers from at least 2581 onwards, a regiment which had chosen to side with the RRA and the RPG.[40]

The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic.[41] Assigned to the conquest of New India in 2586 were three formations from the Second Marik Auxiliary Corps: the Second Defenders of Andurien, the Second Brigade of the Fusiliers of Oriente, and the Second Regulan Hussars.[42]

The resulting campaign was actually something of a relief for the beleaguered SLDF, as it was one of the few stand-up fights to occur unmarked by the more extreme defensive measures many other planetary campaigns were marked by. That didn't make the campaign easy; despite being outnumbered by a significant margin, the last contingent from the Fourth Fusiliers (the other major component of the Fourth having been destroyed on Urjala in 2583) fought a dogged and determined fight against the FWLM forces, selling themselves dearly before being defeated.[43]

Fall of the Star League[edit]

By the closing years of the Star League Era, New India had been incorporated into the Republic's Erdvynn Province and was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 27732775 Republic-Commonwealth war.[12]
