History

When new intelligence in late 3076 reported the Ghost Bear Dominion's latest military forays would focus on Dieron, Protectorate officials augmented the planet’s defenses. Then, in early 3077, additional reinforcements in the form of five Protectorate Militias and two frontline divisions brought a level of military force previously unheard of in Dieron's history: a staggering twenty-two Level III formations and heavy orbital support. The exact Blakist forces numbered Second Division, Third Division, Eighth Division, Fourteenth Division, Nineteenth Division, Twenty-third Division, and five Protectorate Militia (Liberty, Fletcher, Acamar, Asta, Milton) which were moved from their planets in the Protectorate as a surprise to the invasion forces.

When Clan Ghost Bear forces along with units from the Draconis Combine arrived, they were to get a nasty surprise. Once they passed the heavy system blockade, they started to fight Blakist commands with fury. Beta Galaxy engaged the Militia, which was holding the Chiloe Pass while the nearby city of Olivet was being evacuated of civilians. They, along with the Twenty-third Division, were able to hold for five days, but finally Beta was able to capture Olivet. Only ten percent of the Blake forces survived.
