Planet History
Reunification War
By the end of the Age of War Edirne was a member of the Finmark Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[2] In 2575, one of the closing years of the Age of War, civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic, with the factions polarised around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[18]
The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing Operation MAILED FIST, the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near Apollo,[19] until a destructive raid on Alarion by the 4th Amaris Fusiliers in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing Rim Worlds Army concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.[20]
In late 2584 the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584.[21]
Archon Viola Steiner-Dinesen of Battle Group Finmark assigned the Thirty-Second Division - one of two divisions that made up the SLDF VIII Corps - to the conquest of of Edirne in 2589. Edirne lacked any major regular units from the RWA and was successfully conquered by the Thirty-Second, who remained on the planet until they were redeployed for the conquest of Zertarum in 2592.[1]
The Dark Age
Edirne vanished from maps during the 3rd Succession War.[9][10] but in 3130 the planet had reappeared on maps as a part of the Rim Territories having been renamed as Brank.[15]
Notes
It was confirmed that Edirne and Brank were one and the same by the Catalyst Game Labs writing staff.
