Planetary History[edit]

By 2766, Lockdale was a heavily industrialized world defended by no less than five Castles Brian and a Space Defense System.[34][35]

Amaris Civil War[edit]

The Star League Defense Force targeted Tyrfing for liberation in December 2775 on their push deeper into the Terran Hegemony during Operation CHIEFTAIN. Admiral Santi Frolander, in command of the Twelfth Fleet since leading them to victory over Dieron six months earlier, was tasked with neutralizing the tough SDS defenses so that the Fifth Army could make planetfall. The initial invasion in-system took out many SDS drone ships but at a heavy SLDF cost, and when the admiral wanted to press forward with support from the Fifth Army's escorts, the Fifth's CO General Kim Solheim refused and took the matter to Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky, believing the SLDF would take excessive losses in the attack. Kerensky agreed and replaced Frolander with Vice Admiral Els Cainero, a veteran of two previous SDS engagements. After transferring in with two squadrons of Fourth Fleet WarShips, Cainero shredded the SDS drone fleet, allowing the Fifth Army to land four days later.[34]

The ground campaign was long and bloody, with the Amaris forces using nuclear weapons liberally in January 2776 to slow the SLDF advance. By February, the defenders had largely expended their WMD cache and retreated into their fortifications, and the Fifth Army decided to keep them bottled up there to devote most of their manpower to evacuating civilians to safety or off-planet entirely. Over the next year, General Solheim relied on extensive orbital bombardment to break down the fortifications, including the use of surgical nuclear strikes. By mid-2777 the world had been pacified, but with the infrastructure demolished and its economy ruined.[34]

Succession Wars[edit]

Tyrfing was annexed by the Free Worlds League in 2786.[36]

Military Deployment[edit]

Notes[edit]

It was confirmed by the writers[dead link] that Tyrfing's absence from the 2571 and 2822 maps presented in Handbook: House Steiner and the 2571 and 2750 Rim Worlds Republic maps in Handbook: Major Periphery States is an error.
