Hegemony negotiators proposed a confederation style government where each colony would oversee its own internal affairs and a planetary council composed of members of both colonies would decide matters that affected the whole world. This government style worked well for many years, only being replaced by a single world government after the fall of the [[Star League]].

more commonly known simply as Denebola to outsiders, or '''Everwood''' or '''Lyracropis''' to the local population - is the fifth planet in the system. Due to the vagaries<ref name=DARWp180/> ===Planetary History=== ====Independence==== Denebola was one of the first colonies to declare itself independent from the [[Terran Alliance]] after the uprising on [[Freedom]].<ref name=DARWp180/><ref name="ISP3:IEp52">''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 52</ref> This independence was a mixed blessing, as the population lost access to the Terran Alliance traders and support systems. In their place were a series of loose alliances and trade agreements in order to get the food and supplies they needed to survive on their cold world. Unfortunately the colony worlds that supported Denebola were also suffering from the [[Demarcation Declaration]], and couldn't spare much. Planetary communications broke down, and poorly planned agriculture and disease wiped out many smaller settlements. Only two groups of colonists survived, one on Zadipos and the other on Neurasia. These two colonies were located on opposite sides of the world, and each isolated colony thought they were the only survivors on the planet.<ref name=DARWp180/> Denebola was the first world targeted by the [[Terran Hegemony|Hegemony Armed Forces]] when [[Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] launched the third of his "campaigns of persuasion" to bring former Terran Alliance colonies into the Hegemony; the attack on Denebola came in or around 2335.<ref name="TSLp18">''The Star League'', p. 18: "The Syrma Ambush"</ref> The Hegemony had already controlled Denebola once before, incorporating the system into the Hegemony around the time of the first of McKenna's campaigns of persuasion in [[2316]]-[[2317]],<ref name="HB:HKp18">''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 18: "Draconis Combine Founding [2319]"</ref> but by the time of the third campaign, the system was independent again,<ref name="TSLp18"/><ref name="JHS:Tp148">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 148: "Terran Hegemony"</ref> and notorious.<ref name="JHS:Tp148"/> When the Terran Hegemony arrived, the two colonies discovered each other. During Denebola's integration into the Hegemony a disagreement between the colonies over which one would be the capital and planetary government threatened to break out into war; the population of Denebola - or Everwood or Lyracropis, the names given to the planet by the two independent colonies - consisted of the hardiest and most stubborn of the original colonists, who had adapted to living for years in relative isolation. Hegemony negotiators proposed a confederation style government where each colony would oversee its own internal affairs and a planetary council composed of members of both colonies would decide matters that affected the whole world. This government style worked well for many years, only being replaced by a single world government after the fall of the [[Star League]]. The population continued to maintain separate continental capitals on both continents throughout their history.<ref name=DARWp180/> It was during the Star League era that Denebola was a member of the [[Tyrfing Province]] of the Hegemony.<ref name="H:RWp159"/> ====Succession Wars==== During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], the [[Free Worlds League]] and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] fought over the world several times. The influx of new immigrants and bureaucracies of the [[Great House]]s forced Denebola to form a single world government.<ref name=DARWp180/> ====First Succession War==== The Free Worlds League annexed Denebola in [[2785]], assigning the newly-formed [[Thirty-fourth Marik Militia]] as the planetary garrison and deploying a pair of ''[[Vincent]]''-class corvettes as a naval picket for the system. The relatively light garrison was a result of how heavily deployed the [[Free Worlds League Military]] was - a result of the combined stresses of heavy fighting on the border with the Lyran Commonwealth, the ongoing annexation of former Hegemony worlds, and the invasion of the [[Capellan Confederation]].<ref name="FSWp29">''First Succession War'', p. 29: "Lyran Commonwealth Gains"</ref> The Lyran Commonwealth invaded Denebola in [[2786]], deploying the [[Fourteenth Lyran Guards]] as the invasion force, accompanied by a naval escort consisting of a pair of ''[[Commonwealth (WarShip class)|Commonwealth]]''-class light cruisers, the [[LCS Odessa|LCS ''Odessa'']] and [[LCS Porrima|LCS ''Porrima'']]. Despite being outgunned, the [[Francisco|FWLS ''Francisco'']] and her sister ship gamely attempted to attack the Lyran invasion force, only for the opening volley of laser and missile fire from the ''Odessa'' to destroy the ''Francisco'' outright - at which point her sister ship fled the Denebola system, leaving the [[Thirty-fourth Marik Militia]] to attempt to resist the invasion without naval support.<ref name="FSWp29"/> The Thirty-fourth had taken up residence in the battered facilities that had once been the home base of the SLDF [[282nd Mechanized Infantry Division]], and were still settling in when the Lyrans invaded. At the request of [[Colonel]] [[Hoshi DeWitt]], the commanding officer of the Fourteenth, the ''Odessa'' and ''Porrima'' moved into orbit above Denebola and subjected the Thirty-fourth's base to a two-hour orbital bombardment that destroyed more than half the Marik forces outright. Having already lost a [[company]] of forces to Hegemony guerrillas, two companies of mixed armor and infantry forces from the Thirty-fourth went to ground and would spend months engaged in raids and resistance against the Fourteenth Lyran Guards, but the bulk of the survivors from the Thirty-fourth surrendered within two days of the Fourteenth's landing.<ref name="FSWp29"/> ====Fourth Succession War==== Following the sudden invasions of several League worlds by the [[Tikonov Free Republic]] and a daringly successful invasion of [[Callison]] by mercenaries employed by the Lyran Commonwealth in mid-[[3029]], [[Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] found himself in the midst of an unanticipated crisis. In addition to the conquest of Callison, [[LCAF]] communications traffic and movements had spiked sharply, creating the impression of an impending offensive against the League. Faced with what he believed to be the plausible threat of a large-scale attack aimed at the region of the League near [[Terra]], Janos was more concerned with saving the six or seven assorted BattleMech regiments present within the region than he was with retaining the worlds, as he believed that the offensive would most likely be aimed at snipping off the corner of the League closest to Terra - and to both the Federated Suns and the Tikonov Free Republic. Denebola was one of the systems abandoned by Janos, who would learn later that he had been deceived by an effective campaign of smoke and mirrors arranged by the Commonwealth General of the Armies, [[Edward Regis]], to deter the League from launching an invasion of the Commonwealth while the LCAF was heavily committed to its invasion of the [[Draconis Combine]].<ref name="4SWp87">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 87: "Conclusion"''</ref><ref name="HB:HMp42">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 42: "Free Worlds League after Third Succession War [3025]"</ref><ref name="HB:HMp51">''Handbook: House Marik'', p. 51: "Free Worlds League after Fourth Succession War [3030]"</ref> ====Operation GUERRERO==== Denebola was invaded in the Free Worlds League's first wave of [[Operation GUERRERO]] by the [[Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaires]], the [[Atrean Hussars]], and the [[Fourth Marik Militia]]. The main defenders consisting of a [[Denebola Freedom Theater Militia|Skye March Militia]] unit were away conducting exercises on [[Caph]] with [[Gustafson's Grenadiers]];<ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 114</ref> thus, the badly outgunned planetary militia in charge of defense turned the planet over to invaders without a shot being fired.<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 74: "Operation GUERRERO, First Wave"</ref> ====Operation BROKEN FIST==== Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the [[Lyran Alliance]] in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Denebola was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on the 1st of September [[3068]].<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> By the 20th of September the League forces had successfully captured Denebola.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> ====Jihad==== By the end of December [[3079]] Denebola was one of more than twenty planets to have suffered an outbreak of the [[Redburn Virus]], and one of eight to suffer from an infection rate of more than 150 out of every 100,000 people, as well as a mortality rate of more than 30 per 100,000 from the virus. Denebola also had the unfortunate distinction of being the first planet to report a new communicable strain of the virus.<ref name="J:FRp13">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 13: "Plagued By Blake"</ref> ====Dark Age==== In [[3095]] Denebola was the location of the [[Interstellar Expeditions]] Stellar and Planetary Exploration Department office in the [[Republic of the Sphere]].<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 12</ref> The long history of immigration on Denebola made acceptance of [[Devlin Stone]]'s relocation program during the [[Dark Age]] easy for most of the inhabitants to accept, and they were rewarded by seeing their world become the capital of [[Prefecture VIII]].<ref name=DARWp180/> ===Planetary Rulers=== ====3130==== * Planetary Governor Irving Al-Salhar<ref name=DARWp180/> * Planetary Legate Jorg Kampephos<ref name=DARWp180/> ===Military Deployment=== ====2764==== * [[282nd Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 251: "SLDF - Terran Hegemony Military Command Map"</ref> ====2785==== * [[Thirty-fourth Marik Militia]]<ref name="FSWp29"/> ====2786==== * Thirty-fourth Marik Militia (pre–Lyran invasion)<ref name="FSWp29"/><ref name="FSWp138">''First Succession War'', p. 138: "First Succession War Deployment Table - FWLM"</ref> * 2 ''Vincent''-class corvettes (pre–Lyran invasion)<ref name="FSWp29"/> :* [[Francisco|FWLS ''Francisco'']]<ref name="FSWp29"/> * [[Fourteenth Lyran Guards]] (post-Lyran invasion)<ref name="FSWp29"/><ref name="FSWp139"/> ====2821==== * Fourteenth Lyran Guards<ref name="FSWp139">''First Succession War'', p. 139: "Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces (LCAF)"</ref> ====3025==== * [[Sixth Donegal Guards]]<ref name=HS117>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 117: "Unit Deployment Table"</ref> * [[Tenth Lyran Regulars]]<ref name=HS117/> ====3038==== * Sixth Donegal Guards [[RCT]]<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 137: "Deployment Table"</ref> ====3050==== * [[Denebola SMM]]<ref name=20yup27>''20 Year Update'', p. 27</ref> ====3059==== * [[Sixth Free Worlds Legionnaires]]<ref name=FMFWL110>''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 110: "Free Worlds League Deployment Table"</ref> ====3067==== * [[Denebola FTM]]<ref name=FMU177>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 177: "Lyran Alliance Deployment Table"</ref> ====3085==== * [[VIII Triarii Protectors]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 187: "RAF Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> :- At this point in time, the VIII Protectors was at 40% of full strength, with 55% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology. ====3145==== * [[XV Principes Guards]]<ref name=FM:3145p144>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 144: "Republic Armed Forces - Principes Guards"</ref> ===Geography=== Denebola has three large continents that straddle its equator. These continents - named Slovakia, Neurasia and Zadipos - were covered in forests and river systems in the [[thirty-second century]]. Most of the planetary population lived on these continents as Denebola was coming out of an ice age and the polar regions extended quite deeply into the temperate areas. The glaciers seen by the first colonists were impressive, reaching down into the higher tropical latitudes.
