+
=== Early History ===
|-
+
Derf was one of seven worlds settled by colonists from the Rim Worlds Republic between [[2334]] and [[2338]] as an attempt by [[Maxwell Rowe]] to create a buffer zone between the Republic, the [[Draconis Combine]] and the [[Tamar Pact]].<ref name="TP1Ep18">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 18, "From Rim to Tamar"</ref>
| [[Malibu]]
+
 
| 22.38
+
=== Reunification War ===
| 1
+
By the end of the [[Age of War]] Derf was a part of the [[Apollo Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/>
| [[Rim Worlds Republic | RWR]]
+
 
| [[Lyran Commonwealth | LC]]
+
Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130, "The Spark"</ref> The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. the first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (planet)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>
| [[Lyran Commonwealth | LC]]
+
 
| [[Federated Commonwealth | FC]]
+
In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584. The conquest of Derf was one such example of a campaign that took longer than originally planned due to the level of resistance offered by the civilian population; [[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] of Battle Group Apollo assigned the [[17th Royal Division|Seventeenth Royal Division]] - one of three [[division]]s that comprised [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] - to conquering Derf in [[2586]], but even a year after the planetary capital had been occupied instances of civil unrest were still occurring.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref><ref name="H:RWp152"/>

Derf was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[2773]]-[[2775]] [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37, "The Republic-Commonwealth War"</ref>
|-
+
 
| [[Beta VII]]
+
=== Clan Invasion ===
| 26.41
+
Derf was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during the Second Wave of [[Operation Revival]] in May [[3050]]. The [[3rd Falcon Talon (Clan Jade Falcon)|Third Falcon Talon]] made their landing on the planet, intending to finish off the survivors from the [[Twelfth Donegal Guards]] who had escaped from [[Trell I]].  However, so disheartened were the Donegal Guards at their earlier defeat that many simply gave up without a fight. Those few who continued to resist were easily crushed and by the end of the day the planet belonged to the Jade Falcons.<ref>'' Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 39</ref>

| [[Rim Worlds Republic | RWR]]
+
=== Jihad ===
| [[Lyran Commonwealth | LC]]
+
The planet was invaded again during the [[Jihad]], when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]] in early [[3071]]. Derf was invaded by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Wotan and other worlds throughout July 3071.<ref name="JHS3076p16">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 16, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp49">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 49, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The Ice Hellions finally captured Derf in late [[3071]], when [[Star Captain]] [[Vandal Hildenrath]] led the [[401st Striker Trinary (Clan Ice Hellion)|401st Striker Trinary]] to the system. In late December, forces from the Clan Jade Falcon [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha Galaxy]] arrived to recapture the world, and a [[Star Commander]] named Elric led a ''[[batchall]]'' for a Trial of Possession for the planet. Hildenrath defeated Elric's forces in battle in Reichman's Valley, killing two of his [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]], but subsequently allowed him to challenge her to a [[Trial of Grievance]] for the planet. The Trial was fought via a game of chess, which Hildenrath lost intentionally; the loss allowed her to withdraw with her forces and follow [[saKhan]] [[Connor Rood]]'s general call to withdraw, joining her forces with his in the [[Somerset]] system in late January [[3072]].<ref name="OISP2p47">''Operation ICE STORM Part Two: Winds of Spring'', p. 47-55</ref>

Derf
Derf 3151.svg
System Information
X:Y Coordinates-130.839 : 394.669[e]

The Derf system is the location of at least one habitable world, and as at 3145 was located in the Clan Hell's Horses Occupation Zone.[1][2]

System Description

The Derf system is located near the Trell and Wotan systems.[1][2]

System History

The Derf system was colonized at some point between 2334 and 2338 during early colonization efforts by the Rim Worlds Republic.[3]

Political Affiliation

Planetary History

Early History

Derf was one of seven worlds settled by colonists from the Rim Worlds Republic between 2334 and 2338 as an attempt by Maxwell Rowe to create a buffer zone between the Republic, the Draconis Combine and the Tamar Pact.[3]

Reunification War

By the end of the Age of War Derf was a part of the Apollo Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[4]

Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in 2575, with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[41] The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing Operation MAILED FIST, the name given to the military intervention. the first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near Apollo,[42] until a destructive raid on Alarion by the Fourth Amaris Fusiliers in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing Rim Worlds Army concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.[43]

In late 2584 the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584. The conquest of Derf was one such example of a campaign that took longer than originally planned due to the level of resistance offered by the civilian population; General Nathan Isaacson of Battle Group Apollo assigned the Seventeenth Royal Division - one of three divisions that comprised VI Corps - to conquering Derf in 2586, but even a year after the planetary capital had been occupied instances of civil unrest were still occurring.[44][45]

Star League Era

Derf was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth War.[14]

Clan Invasion

Derf was conquered by Clan Jade Falcon during the Second Wave of Operation Revival in May 3050. The Third Falcon Talon made their landing on the planet, intending to finish off the survivors from the Twelfth Donegal Guards who had escaped from Trell I. However, so disheartened were the Donegal Guards at their earlier defeat that many simply gave up without a fight. Those few who continued to resist were easily crushed and by the end of the day the planet belonged to the Jade Falcons.[46]

Jihad

The planet was invaded again during the Jihad, when Clan Ice Hellion launched an invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071. Derf was invaded by the Ice Hellions between the 7th and 28th of June 3071, but the Ice Hellion invasion stalled as heavy fighting continued on Wotan and other worlds throughout July 3071.[32][33] The Ice Hellions finally captured Derf in late 3071, when Star Captain Vandal Hildenrath led the 401st Striker Trinary to the system. In late December, forces from the Clan Jade Falcon Alpha Galaxy arrived to recapture the world, and a Star Commander named Elric led a batchall for a Trial of Possession for the planet. Hildenrath defeated Elric's forces in battle in Reichman's Valley, killing two of his MechWarriors, but subsequently allowed him to challenge her to a Trial of Grievance for the planet. The Trial was fought via a game of chess, which Hildenrath lost intentionally; the loss allowed her to withdraw with her forces and follow saKhan Connor Rood's general call to withdraw, joining her forces with his in the Somerset system in late January 3072.[34]
