Wyatt was annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]] early in the [[First Succession War]], but the [[Marik Militia]] forces assigned to Wyatt withdrew in late [[2790]], leaving the planet open to conquest. The League had honored the titles of the [[House Roark|Roark family]] on Wyatt when the world was annexed from the [[Terran Hegemony]], in exchange for the Roark's fealty. That fealty was tested when two [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] [[regiment]]s - the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]] and [[Fifth Lyran Guards]] - arrived to annex the planet in January [[2791]]. A Lyran negotiator attempted to persuade [[Baroness]] [[Althea Roark]] to switch her allegiance to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], the previous Baron - Althea's husband - having left with the [[Star League Defense Force]] on the [[Operation EXODUS|Exodus]], but Althea's son - former [[Captain]] Stephan Roark of the [[SLDF]] and his cousin, Dera - are opposed to breaking their oaths to [[House Marik]], as is Stephan's uncle, retired SLDF [[General]] Bartolomeo Roark. The defending forces on Wyatt consisted of the Wyatt Militia - a force that can muster barely four [[lance]]s of [['Mech]]s - and the personal 'Mechs of House Roark, which  were dispersed around the various Roark landholdings across the world. Stephan and his allies fought against the annexation, but were undercut by the Baroness, who aligned House Roark with the Commonwealth to preserve the family's position on Wyatt.<ref name="ASP"/>
