New Wessex was once a beautiful world that had light industry and moderate agricultural production. The true benefit to New Wessex however, is its location between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine.

During the [[First Succession War]] a task group of light [[WarShip]]s from the Commonwealth led a Lyran invasion of the world. These WarShips were supposed to bombard the planet, particularly cities, in the hope that they could simply destroy the defenders outright.<ref name=DARWp22/>

Unfortunately the [[Draconis Combine Admiralty]] had moved a task force of their own into orbit around New Wessex. During the resulting orbital battle, a damaged Lyran battleship tumbled into the planet's atmosphere and its power plants exploded. The resulting toxic materials showered over half the northern coastline of the northern continent, Jaricosa. Even after centuries of cleanup efforts, the percentages of the population who contract cancer and other related diseases is higher than average.<ref name=DARWp22/>

Even with the poisoning of the atmosphere, New Wessex would be raided several more times by the Lyran Commonwealth as the Succession Wars drug on.

=====Battle of Harlow's Wood=====

======Battle of Harlow's Wood======
−
The Lyran Commonwealth began to expect an attack from the Draconis Combine in late 3010s. As New Wessex was used by the Combine as a staging area for many operations into the Commonwealth, they needed to disrupt any military resources there to deter an incoming attack. In early [[3021]], the [[Black Widow Company]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in the employ of the Commonwealth, would secretly land on New Wessex. There they would establish a base within the heavily forested region that covered thousands of square kilometers, known as Harlow's Wood. From there, they raided supply depots, aerospace fighter bases, storage areas and even a strike into the planet's capital city of Hallanan.

These attacks demanded a response from the defending Combine unit on world, the [[Twentieth Draconis Regiment]]. Under the command of [[Brigadier]] [[Jinjo Yamashiga]], the Twentieth moved into the Wood to find the Widow's base and destroy them. However, Yamashiga would deploy his units in [[Lance]] sized formations.  This would play right into the talents of the Black Widow Company and [[Natasha Kerensky]]. Kerensky would use the Wood to screen her company's movements to engage each Combine Lance one at a time.  By the end of the week, 18 of the 27 Combine lances had been heavily damaged.

As the Combine forces tried to regroup, the Widows began preparations to leave New Wessex. At this time, the [[Waco Rangers]], who were on world for a much needed break, first learned of the fighting between the Dragoons and the Combine. [[Colonel]] [[Wayne Waco]] was furious to learn he had been uninformed of the fighting and scrambled to put together a company of his troops to join the hunt. Waco would study the maps of Harlow Wood and determine the best place for the Widows to be operating from before leading his troops on a two day forced march to engage the Dragoon forces. Jinjo Yamashiga would instruct the Rangers to not get involved, but Wayne Waco had other ideas and marched into the Wood. He had correctly guessed the location of the Widow's base, but had arrived only in time to fire a few long range shots before the Widows would launch in their [[DropShip]] and escape off world.

Being cheated of an opportunity to destroy a portion of his hated rivals, Wolf's Dragoons, Wayne Waco would submit a scathing report on the incompetence of Jinjo Yamashiga and his unit's response to the Widows attack.  Jinjo Yamashiga, with his unit suffering from heavy losses, the Widow's escaping and the Rangers report highlighting his errors, would commit ''[[seppuku]]'' a month later.<ref name=TOTBWCp7>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', p. 7: "Hit-and-Run Raids"</ref><ref name=WDsp27>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 27: "Harlow's Wood"</ref><ref name=MHp84/><ref name=DARWp22/>

======Battle of the Ouros Crossing======
−
In [[3024]], the [[Second Benjamin Regulars]] was assigned to defend New Wessex.  To assist them, they were assigned [[Tyrell's Raiders]] as an auxiliary force.  ''[[Sho-sa]]'' [[Victor Garreth]], commander of the Second, was not fond of being assigned the Raiders and often clashed with unit's commander.  During a Lyran Commonwealth attack, Garreth would assign the Raiders to defend the Vesper-on-Ouros crossing against what he told them was a similarly sized unit.  However, the incoming Lyran unit was almost a full [[regiment]] of heavy [[BattleMechs]].  Garreth had found a way to rid himself of the unit he loathed.  The Raiders found themselves outnumbered and outgunned.  Those who were not destroyed outright in the fighting, retreated to the Combine base only to be hanged as traitors by Garreth for cowardice in fleeing from an equal sized force.  Garreth then appropriated the unit's 'Mechs to add to his unit.  However, one member of the Raiders, [[Salvadore Tyrell]], would survive and plot his revenge.<ref name=DoV/>
