Delacruz had long been a contested world, fought over by the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine, and was one of dozens of worlds that the [[Terran Hegemony]] targetted as a part of their foreign policy after the various campaigns of persuasion that expanded the Hegemony by conquest. Delacruz, like many other worlds, became a world jointly administered under the overall authority of the Hegemony.<ref name="H:LoTV2p118">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume Two'', p. 118, "Jointly Administered Worlds"</ref>

During the collapse of the Star League in the brief period between the end of the [[Amaris Civil War]] and the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]] led by [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] Delacruz evidently either lapsed into Federated Suns control or was annexed by the Federated Suns, but this wouldn't last long; in May [[2787]] the Draconis Combine launched an invasion of the Federated Suns, and Delacruz was one of the first worlds to be invaded. The [[Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]] were able to cover the retreat of the last Federated Suns defenders on the planet, with the Twenty-second's command lance covering the retreat of the last [[DropShip]] to launch.<ref name="TRO:3025Rp112">''Technical Readout: 3025 Revised'', p. 112, "Deployment"</ref>

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 879 million and describes the environment as "desert" (out of only three impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert," "ice," and "tropical").

Planetary History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

In the lead-up to Operation UNION HOLD, the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, Delacruz was a border world between the Draconis Combine and the Outworlds Alliance. The Star League Defense Force marshalled the Forty-third and Forty-fifth Brigades, part of the Fifteenth Division, V Corps on Delacruz prior to the invasion; the SLDF forces left Delacruz to invade Weisau in July 2581, landing on the Alliance world in August.[4][34][35]

Star League Era[edit]

Delacruz had long been a contested world, fought over by the Federated Suns and Draconis Combine, and was one of dozens of worlds that the Terran Hegemony targeted as a part of their foreign policy after the various campaigns of persuasion that expanded the Hegemony by conquest. Delacruz, like many other worlds, became a world jointly administered under the overall authority of the Hegemony.[36]

First Succession War[edit]

During the collapse of the Star League in the brief period between the end of the Amaris Civil War and the Exodus led by General Aleksandr Kerensky Delacruz evidently either lapsed into Federated Suns control or was annexed by the Federated Suns, but this wouldn't last long; in May 2787 the Draconis Combine launched an invasion of the Federated Suns, and Delacruz was one of the first worlds to be invaded. The Twenty-second Avalon Hussars were able to cover the retreat of the last Federated Suns defenders on the planet, with the Twenty-second's command lance covering the retreat of the last DropShip to launch.[12]

Third Succession War[edit]

In early 3025, the Federated Suns attacked Delacruz.[37]
