== Planetary History ==
Gouderak has the distinction of being the first planet in the Magistracy of Canopus to be targeted for invasion and occupation during the [[Star League]] conquest of the Magistracy following the rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]] by the [[Periphery]] nations.<ref name="H:RWp97"/>

On the 10th of June [[2577]] [[Star League Defense Force]] and [[Free Worlds League Military]] [[WarShip|WarShips]] jumped into the system and conducted simultaneous assaults on both the zenith and nadir [[jump point|jump points]], quickly overwhelming the light pickets stationed there. The zenith cargo transfer station surrendered quickly, although the nadir station put up enough resistance to force a boarding action in response.<ref name="H:RWp97"/>

Within a week, the SLDF [[Fifty-fifth Brigade]] were on the surface of Gouderak securing objectives under the command of General [[Camilla Sjölander]]. The Fifty-fifth secured both the industrial complexes on Halton and the planetary capital after the single company from the [[First Canopian Light Horse]] stationed on Gouderak departed following some token skirmishes, but occupying Gouda Prime proved problematic. While Gouda Prime had sufficient water purification facilities to support the native population, there was no way it could generate enough water for an entire Division of SLDF troops, resulting in occupying troops having to draw supplies from their [[DropShips]]. This highlighted a problem with supporting large troop movements from native resources that the SLDF task force hadn't considered in advance.<ref name="H:RWp97"/>

Despite the potential water problems, numerous units were stationed on or moved through Gouderak in 2277 in addition to the Fifty-fifth Brigade. At one time or another, present on Gouderak were the SLDF [[Sixty-first Royal Brigade]], a part of the [[Twenty-first Royal Division]]; the [[Fifth Marik Militia]] and the [[Second Oriente Hussars]].<ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148, "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref>

The Magistracy of Canopus had 13 worlds annexed by the Free Worlds League, either during the [[Reunification War]]<ref name="H:RWp159"/> or by Star League decree in [[2602]],<ref name="H:RWp161">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 161, "Good Neighbors To The Magistracy"</ref> and Gouderak was one of these worlds.
