== System Description ==
{{ApocryphalContentStart}}
'''Harvest''' is mentioned as "Auric II (Harvest)" in the [[apocryphal]] ''[[BattleTechnology]]'' magazine, issue #0102, p. 6. This seems to suggest that Harvest is the name of the second planet in what is otherwise known as the '''Auric''' system.

== Planetary History ==
=== Star League ===
During the final years of the [[Star League]], Harvest was the host of a [[Star League Defense Force]] garrison.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 255, "SLDF - Lyran Commonwealth Military Command Map"</ref>

===Succession Wars===
====Second Succession War====
The [[Draconis Combine]] attacked Harvest in [[2841]].  The defending Lyran troops, [[31st York Regulars|Thirty-first York Regulars]], held positions away from the cities and important agricultural industries.  These positions protected the planet's infrastructure, but left the defenders scattered.  The [[19th Rasalhague Regulars|Nineteenth Rasalhague Regulars]]' attack proved so successful, that the unit's commander called for reinforcements to turn the raid into planetary conquest.  With the arrival of the [[5th Arkab Legion|Fifth Arkab Legion]] and the [[3rd Proserpina Hussars|Third Proserpina Hussars]], Harvest fell to the Combine.<ref>Second Succession War, p. 58, "The Steiner-Kurita Front"</ref>

====Fourth Succession War====
Harvest's role as a major agricultural world for the [[Rasalhague Military District]] made it a key early target for the Lyran Commonwealth during the [[Fourth Succession War]], and it was one of the first worlds attacked in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]]. The [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] task force consisted of three [[BattleMech]]-led [[RCT]]s - the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] and the [[1st Lyran Regulars|First]] and [[Third Lyran Regulars]] supported by forty assorted regiments of infantry and armor.<ref name="NAIS4SWp46">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 46, "Harvest"</ref>

The garrison on Harvest when the [[LCAF]] invasion force arrived in August [[3028]] consisted of twenty assorted regiments of armor and infantry and two mercenary [['Mech]] regiments, the [[Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group]] and [[Helmut's Hermits]]. The Lyran forces dropped on the Ohio continent en masse and made immediate and effective use of the new [[Lightning Company|Lightning Companies]] created as a result of the cross-training and co-operation between the LCAF and the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] in the years before the invasion. In two key battles - one the Battle of Dangalobee Fields Where the First Lyran Regulars fought the Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group, and the other the Battle for Pusou Hill where the Fourth Donegal Guards RCT and elements of both Lyran Regulars RCTs fought against the Hermits - the Lightning Companies exploited weaknesses in the enemy line to break through and wreak havoc in the [[DCMS]] rear areas, catching their opponents by complete surprise.<ref name="NAIS4SWp46"/>

===Clan Invasion===
====Operation Revival====
Harvest was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] during [[Operation Revival]] as part of their Third Wave of attacks in July [[3050]].  Opposing the [[341st Assault (Clan Wolf)|341st Assault Cluster]], which committed it's [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova Second]], [[Trinary|Trinary Assault]] and Rogue Fighter [[Star]], were the [[Harvest Militia|1st and 2nd Royal Harvest Divisions]]. The defenders were under the command of ''[[Överste]]'' [[Kinson]], a veteran of the famed [[Tyr Regiment]] during the [[Fourth Succession War]].  ''Överste'' decided it was best flee into the Skonnsen mountain range with his forces, including a regiment of ancient [['Mechs]], and conduct guerrilla operations against the Clan invaders.  Their tactics worked, with major battles taking place at Josuph Corner, Rookhaven, Dangalobee and Aaron Ranch, until they were betrayed from within and Clan Wolf fell upon their hiding place. To decide the fate of their forces ''Överste'' Kinson challenged [[Star Captain]] [[Cary Vickers]] to an honor duel, and while he lost the skill and honor he displayed in combat inspired the Star Captain to ask him to head the planet's occupation government.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 60</ref>

===Jihad===
As of 3072, a [[BattleMech]] [[Trinary]] commanded by Quinn Kerensky and named "Quinn's Ravagers" from the [[1st Falcon Hussars (Clan Jade Falcon)|1st Falcon Hussars]] raided prior to July the planet.<ref name=Quinn_Kerensky>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [13/07/3072]: "Falcons Not Content With the Alliance"''</ref>

Harvest was conquered again during the [[Jihad]], when Clan Hell's Horses launched an invasion of the Clan Wolf holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]] in early [[3071]], acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. Harvest was seized by the Hell's Horses between the 7th and 28th of June 3071.<ref name="JHS3076p16">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 16, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref>

===Dark Age===
In [[3118]] Clan Wolf launched a probing attack on Harvest, only to be repelled by the [[21st Mechanized Assault (Clan Hell's Horses)|Twenty-First Mechanized Assault Cluster]]; however, whilst the Twenty-First successfully rebuffed the Wolf attack, they used the new ''[[Hippogriff]]'' [[ProtoMech]]s they had obtained from [[Clan Snow Raven]] poorly, and the resulting poor performance of the ''Hippogriff'' led to it being redeployed to ''[[solahma]]'' units after the battle.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp46"/>
