===Reunification War===
+
The Budingen system is located near the [[Belacruz]] and [[Schirmeck]] systems.<ref name="ER:2750p37"/>
In [[2582]] during the open throws of the [[Reunification War]], Budingen would become the site of a battle between [[Star League]] Auxiliary troops from [[House Kurita]] and Outworlds Alliance defenders.  The Pitcairn Legion ambushed the Kurita troops believing Budingen would have light resistance against their conquest.  However, the Kurita forces would be destroyed by this attack, which trigger violence against Alliance citizens.  Angry Kurita troops would end up massacres number of Alliance citizens and destruction of their property. Star League's Outworld Alliance expedition commander, [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]] would also have occupied Alliance worlds citizens executed to discourage rebellion.<ref>''Star League sourcebook'', p. 50 - Outworlds Alliance War - Budingen invasion/ambush would triggers the massacres a crossed occupied OA space.</ref>

===Planetary History===
| 25.87
+
The capital of Budingen, New Jordan, was located on the world's primary continent; this continent is prone to stormy autumn months followed by long and brutal winters. In the [[twenty-sixth century]] Budingen was a water-rich mining world and member of the Outworlds Alliance. By mid-[[2582]], the neighboring world of [[Santiago]] had been under Draconis Combine occupation for a decade as a result of [[Directive 21]], issued by [[Ian Cameron]] in [[2572]] in response to the military buildup in the Alliance. Of the other worlds nearby, [[Schirmeck]] and [[Weisau]] had been annexed by the Star League in [[2581]], and troops from the Combine had occupied [[Valentina]] early in 2582. The Star League was determined to incorporate the Outworlds Alliance into the League by armed force following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]] by every major [[Periphery]] state in [[2575]], and it was inevitable that Budingen would find itself under attack.<ref name=H:RWp120/>

| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
That first wave of that attack came in July [[2582]], when ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Elliot Keita]] arrived in the middle of the stormy season leading the [[Fourth Benjamin Regulars]]. Present on Budingen at the time was the Second Regiment of the [[Pitcairn Legion]], commanded by [[Samantha Milton-Jones]], and the Regulars ran headlong into the Legion troops within hours of landing. The storms aided the Legion in resisting three separate spoiling attacks from the Regulars, letting the Legion fade back out of contact only to reappear elsewhere, keeping constant pressure on the Regulars.<ref name=H:RWp120/>
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
 
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
Keita and his troops were unable to establish where the Legion forces were operating from, so Keita instead targeted the civilian population of Budingen, beginning with the settlements of Brenda, Montezuma and Saratoga. The first attacks left dozens dead and hundreds without shelter in the face of the autumn storms and successfully drew the Legion into pursuing the Regulars. The First Battalion of the Legion forces caught up with the Regulars in the Ruby Valley and managed to keep two battalions of the Fourth Benjamin Regulars pinned while the other two Legion battalions struck directly at the Regulars' base camp, supported by light [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and [[infantry]] forces. By the time the extended battle was over, the Ruby Valley was in flames and the Legion forces had reduced the Regulars' base to a shambles, including leaving two of the Regulars' [[DropShip|DropShips]] heavily damaged.<ref name=H:RWp120/>
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
 
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
The surviving forces from the Regulars responded by relocating to New Jordan, creating a new base within the center of the city, occupying homes and business and forcibly ejecting hundreds of civilians from the city before riding out the long winter months. The Legion forces spent several weeks constructing shelters in the settlement of Minneola for the thousands of civilians displaced by the Combine forces actions across the continent, but ended up leaving Budingen in September to avoid being trapped on the planet for the entire winter. The Combine had effectively occupied Budingen in five weeks.<ref name=H:RWp120/>
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
 
| [[Draconis Combine | DC]]
+
The Fourth Benjamin Regulars took advantage of an early thaw in [[2583]] to strike directly at the civilian population, destroying thousands of head of cattle and killing hundreds of civilians as they burned dozens of towns and villages to the ground. This, combined with the long winter months, effectively broke the population of Budingen; Colonel Milton-Jones brought her regiment back to Budingen in February, and realized that she had little chance of freeing Budingen without more troops. The Legion forces struck at the new base the Regulars had constructed outside New Jordan as well as of the unit headquarters within the city itself, but despite destroying both targets and inflicting heavy damage on one of the Regulars' battalions, withdrew from Budingen to instead strike at [[Bad News]].<ref name="H:RWp122+">''Historical: Reunification War'', pp. 122–123: "...

* The original ''[[The Star League]]'' indicated that atrocities against Outworlds Alliance civilian populations and the General Order from [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]] to discourage rebellion on occupied worlds by decimating the population began as a result of the events on Budingen.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 50: Outworlds Alliance War - Budingen invasion/ambush would triggers the massacres a crossed occupied OA space</ref> This has now been contradicted by ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' which indicates that the resistance on [[Medron]] in [[2581]] was the flashpoint for the General Order, and that by the invasion of Budingen in July [[2582]] atrocities had already been widely conducted on worlds such as [[Valentina]].<ref name="H:RWp117">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 117: "Rage Unleashed"</ref>

System Information
X:Y Coordinates382.302 : 162.025[e]

The Budingen system was home to at least one habitable world and as of 3145 was located in the Kaznejoy Prefecture of the New Samarkand Military District within the Draconis Combine.[1][2]

System Description[edit]

The Budingen system is located near the Belacruz and Schirmeck systems.[3]

System History[edit]

The Budingen system was settled during or shortly before the Age of War, and joined the Outworlds Alliance prior to the Reunification War.[4]

Political Affiliation[edit]

Planetary History[edit]

The capital of Budingen, New Jordan, was located on the world's primary continent; this continent is prone to stormy autumn months followed by long and brutal winters. In the twenty-sixth century Budingen was a water-rich mining world and member of the Outworlds Alliance. By mid-2582, the neighboring world of Santiago had been under Draconis Combine occupation for a decade as a result of Directive 21, issued by Ian Cameron in 2572 in response to the military buildup in the Alliance. Of the other worlds nearby, Schirmeck and Weisau had been annexed by the Star League in 2581, and troops from the Combine had occupied Valentina early in 2582. The Star League was determined to incorporate the Outworlds Alliance into the League by armed force following the mass rejection of the Pollux Proclamation by every major Periphery state in 2575, and it was inevitable that Budingen would find itself under attack.[9]

That first wave of that attack came in July 2582, when Tai-sa Elliot Keita arrived in the middle of the stormy season leading the Fourth Benjamin Regulars. Present on Budingen at the time was the Second Regiment of the Pitcairn Legion, commanded by Samantha Milton-Jones, and the Regulars ran headlong into the Legion troops within hours of landing. The storms aided the Legion in resisting three separate spoiling attacks from the Regulars, letting the Legion fade back out of contact only to reappear elsewhere, keeping constant pressure on the Regulars.[9]

Keita and his troops were unable to establish where the Legion forces were operating from, so Keita instead targeted the civilian population of Budingen, beginning with the settlements of Brenda, Montezuma and Saratoga. The first attacks left dozens dead and hundreds without shelter in the face of the autumn storms and successfully drew the Legion into pursuing the Regulars. The First Battalion of the Legion forces caught up with the Regulars in the Ruby Valley and managed to keep two battalions of the Fourth Benjamin Regulars pinned while the other two Legion battalions struck directly at the Regulars' base camp, supported by light armor and infantry forces. By the time the extended battle was over, the Ruby Valley was in flames and the Legion forces had reduced the Regulars' base to a shambles, including leaving two of the Regulars' DropShips heavily damaged.[9]

The surviving forces from the Regulars responded by relocating to New Jordan, creating a new base within the center of the city, occupying homes and business and forcibly ejecting hundreds of civilians from the city before riding out the long winter months. The Legion forces spent several weeks constructing shelters in the settlement of Minneola for the thousands of civilians displaced by the Combine forces actions across the continent, but ended up leaving Budingen in September to avoid being trapped on the planet for the entire winter. The Combine had effectively occupied Budingen in five weeks.[9]

The Fourth Benjamin Regulars took advantage of an early thaw in 2583 to strike directly at the civilian population, destroying thousands of head of cattle and killing hundreds of civilians as they burned dozens of towns and villages to the ground. This, combined with the long winter months, effectively broke the population of Budingen; Colonel Milton-Jones brought her regiment back to Budingen in February, and realized that she had little chance of freeing Budingen without more troops. The Legion forces struck at the new base the Regulars had constructed outside New Jordan as well as of the unit headquarters within the city itself, but despite destroying both targets and inflicting heavy damage on one of the Regulars' battalions, withdrew from Budingen to instead strike at Bad News.[53]

The Fourth Benjamin Regulars remained as the garrison force on Budingen until Budingen was ceded to the Draconis Combine as part of the terms laid out within the Treaty of Cerberus on the 1st of August 2585.[10]

WarShips from Clan Snow Raven assaulted and captured Budingen during the first two weeks of May 3069.[46]

Military Deployment[edit]

2582[edit]

  • Fourth Benjamin Regulars

3085[edit]

Planetary Locations[edit]

  • Brenda: site of a civilian massacre during the Reunification War.[9]
  • Montezuma: site of a civilian massacre during the Reunification War.[9]
  • New Jordan: the planetary capital city.[9]
  • Ruby Valley: site of a major battle during the Reunification War.[9]
  • Saratoga: site of a civilian massacre during the Reunification War.[9]

Notes[edit]

  • The original The Star League indicated that atrocities against Outworlds Alliance civilian populations and the General Order from General Amos Forlough to discourage rebellion on occupied worlds by decimating the population began as a result of the events on Budingen.[57] This has now been contradicted by Historical: Reunification War which indicates that the resistance on Medron in 2581 was the flashpoint for the General Order, and that by the invasion of Budingen in July 2582 atrocities had already been widely conducted on worlds such as Valentina.[58]
  • In The Star League, the planet's name was spelled as Budigen. In later publications, it would be changed to Budingen.[59]
