Planetary History

Early History

The planet was settled English & French settlers from Terra. These early pioneers had come to Blackjack due to its accessible mineral wealth. Though ores were in limited qualities, heavy industry had build up on the planet.

By the Second Succession War, the valuable ores had been dried up & its industries destroyed by Combine & Periphery Raiders.

The planet became infamously known to being the home of the Blackjack School of Conflict. Which continued to operate well into the mid-31st Century.

Clan Invasion

In August 3050, the Clan Jade Falcon's Delta Galaxy invaded the planet. In a Trial of Possession for Blackjack, the planet's only defenders was Blackjack School's Training Battalion. Fighting the 2nd Falcon Jaegers, the training battalion had suffered 80 percent casualties. Falcons impressed by cadet's actions let most of the survivors retreat from the planet.

In 3052, Clan Steel Viper was given control of the planet and shortly after razed Blackjack School.[2]

Lyran Alliance Invasion

During the Clan Jade Falcon's Incursion in the Lyran space, coalition of Lyran Alliance forces had counter-attacked Falcon's Occupational Zone. In December 3064, the General Christifori lead his Archer's Avengers in Trial of Possession for the planet. The Lyran forces had setup base in ruins of the Blackjack Schoool. In course of battle with Falcon's defending 8th and 10th Provisional Garrison Clusters, the Trial of Possession had turned into Trial of Annihilation due to events of Regiment's on Twycross. In orbit, Lyran forces had a allied Clan Wolf in Exile's WarShip, the Black Paw providing support for them. The ship engaged in battle with Jade Falcon Warship, White Talon during conflict for Blackjack. The Paw provided Orbit-to-Ground fire support for the Lyran troops. Six days into the conflict, General Adam Steiner arrives to with reinforcement and assists increasing weary Archer's Avengers. The Trial ends shortly after saKhan Samantha Clees arrives in system and declares Lyrans winner of trial.[3]
