In February [[2788]], First Prince [[John Davion]] launched [[Operation SOLAR SHIELD]], a desperate plan to try and disrupt the invasion of the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787. Prince John had been preparing to invade the [[Capellan Confederation]] when news of the Combine invasion reached him, and the forces he drew together for SOLAR SHIELD were based on those three [['Mech]] [[regiment]]s nearby earmarked for the abortive invasion of the Confederation plus some six assorted regiments of armor and infantry provided by regional militias within the Marlette Combat Region. Prince John divided his forces into three groups and launched strikes at three occupied worlds on the Terran flank of the invasion, hoping to disrupt the thrust being led personally by Coordinator Minoru Kurita.<ref name="FSWp40">''First Succession War'', pp. 40–41: "Fighting the Tsunami"</ref><ref name="FSWp41">''First Succession War'', p. 41: "An Expensive Learning Curve"</ref>

SOLAR SHIELD proved to be flawed from the outset; the units assembled lacked time to train together, Prince John's forces were limited in number, and he had only a handful of [[WarShip]]s available to use to escort his forces. Senior officers advised against the operation, but Prince John felt that speed was of the essence, and ordered that the operation go ahead. Cartago was one of the planets targeted by SOLAR SHIELD, and Prince John led the [[First Davion Guards]] to the system himself, escorted by the ''[[Davion II (WarShip class)|Davion II]]''-class destroyers [[Duke Henry|FSS ''Duke Henry'']] and [[Edmund Davion (Individual Davion II-class WarShip)|FSS ''Edmund Davion'']]. The strike initially appeared to go well, with the First encountering a small naval picket consisting of two ''[[Baron (WarShip class)|Baron]]''-class destroyers in orbit above the planet that only briefly contested the Guards' landing before retreating.<ref name="FSWp40"/>

In the belief that his forces held the upper hand, Prince John landed in the valley near the capital city's spaceport along with the Guards, but became suspicious as soon as his troops had disembarked, just five kilometers away from the spaceport. When he observed that the majority of the [[DropShip]]s sitting at the spaceport were civilian vessels in obvious disrepair, rather than DCMS military transports, he quickly ordered the Guards to fall back - barely ahead of a nuclear explosion that consumed the site. The Guards lost a [[company]] of 'Mechs and a [[squadron]] of aerospace fighters to the blast, but Prince John was able to board a DropShip before the blast hit, ordering his troops to evacuate rapidly. As the Guards and their supporting conventional forces lifted off, hostile fighters swept over the landing area, attempting to down the Guards transports, while above the planet the two ''Barons'' returned to attack the ''Duke Henry'' and ''Edmund Davion'' again, this time with the addition of the [[Omodaka|DCS ''Omodaka'']], a ''[[Narukami (WarShip class)|Narukami II]]''-class destroyer that had been lurking in hiding on the far side of Cartago.<ref name="FSWp40"/>

The various continents on Cartago are covered by vast tropical jungles filled with dangerous wildlife. While the local flora and fauna has always done its best to reduce the life expectancy of the planet's human population, the jungles have also produced a wealth of different pharmacological compounds responsible for hundreds of medical breakthroughs since the planet was first colonized. As a consequence, numerous interstellar biopharmaceutical companies have their research and development departments based on Cartago, and the average citizen of Cartago enjoys one of the longest life expectancies to be found anywhere in the Federated Suns.<ref name=O:FSp22/>
