== Planetary History ==
===The Reunification War===
Settled at some point prior to the Age of War,<ref name="HB:MPSp93"/> during the [[Reunification War]] Aspropirgos became a target for the [[SLDF]] invasion of the Magistracy of Canopus during the third year of the military campaign. The [[Star League Defense Force]] task force commanded by [[Captain-General]] [[Marion Marik]] launched their attack on Aspropirgos in September [[2580]] and while the planetary invasion force was smaller than those used during [[2578]] and [[2579]], it still consisted of a complete SLDF [[brigade]] - the [[58th Brigade|Fifty-eighth]] - supported by the [[Third Marik Militia]] and the [[2nd Fusiliers of Oriente|Second Brigade]] of the [[Fusiliers of Oriente]].<ref name="H:RWp101"/><ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref>

Whilst the defending [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] units on Aspropirgos managed to sting the invading forces, contesting the invasion, they retreated before the SLDF could mount an effective pursuit, preserving their strength as part of a general refit and rearmament campaign both sides were conducting.<ref name="H:RWp101"/> The Magistracy of Canopus had 13 worlds annexed by the Free Worlds League, either during the [[Reunification War]]<ref name="H:RWp159"/> or by Star League decree in [[2602]],<ref name="H:RWp161">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 161, "Good Neighbors To The Magistracy"</ref> and Aspropirgos was one of these worlds.

===The Jihad===
During the [[Jihad]] the [[Word of Blake]] used Aspropirgos as a launching point for operations against the Magistracy of Canopus. On the 29th of June [[3073]], an attack group drawn from the Magistracy Armed Forces and the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] hit Aspropirgos, targeting the Word of Blake staging grounds. The allied attack group spent 12 days systematically destroying the Blakist facilities along with most of the infantry support for the [[41st Shadow Division]].<ref name="JHS3076p31">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 31, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp51">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 51, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
