Plantary History
Jihad
In 3072, Word of Blake forces arrived in system and assaulted the planet. These forces, lead 28th Division, with support of the 45th Shadow Division & mercenary support seized the planet. Nine of the planet's semi-suns were destroyed in initial invasion. Benjamin's defending DCMS forces on planet over whelmed by the two regiments and mercenaries. Securing planet with surrender of 6th Ghost Regiment. However, guerilla resistance force fought on after occupation of the planet.[11]
The Blakists were eventually driven off of Benjamin, and the Dragon's propaganda machine kicked into overdrive. The events of the Benjamin assault were trumpeted across the Combine, and recruits applying to join the Benjamin Regulars skyrocketed. To provide the best recruits to the Regulars the DCMS established the Osaka Fields Proving Grounds. This training facility takes in recruits and provides basic training before sending the most promising recruits on to other academies.[9]
The Blakists destroyed several of the "semi-suns" during their assault. These hadn't been repaired by 3079. The resulting loss in sunlight seriously reduced the agricultural output and forced Benjamin to import food.[9]
