For many years Kalidasa was a hotspot between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Free Worlds League. Its strategic position between the two nations led to years of raids and assaults, the last of which occurred in [[2997]]. During the late Succession Wars these raids tapered off, and instead the planet became an important cross-border shipping point. There are a dozen starports on the world, staffed by both League and Commonwealth customs inspectors. Naturally the legitimate trade is only one part of the system economy; a thriving black market is an open secret to the citizens. This trade is the cornerstone of the planet's economy, but there are also native light industry, mineral extraction, lumber, and refining operations as well.<ref name=HBM72/>

In late June [[3070]], the planetary government and military forces on Kalidasa switched their allegiance to the [[Word of Blake]], bringing the world into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]; Kalidasa was one of six worlds to declare for the Blakists in the space of a week, pushing the Protectorate into Free Worlds League space.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

[[Gannon's Cannons]] were contracted by [[Mr. Askai]] to strike Kalidasa, defeat the [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Word's Third Division]] and, if possible, kill or capture [[Precentor]] [[Timothy Mayo]]. The unit accepted, and on July [[3070]] they struck the planet. The unit began raiding Blakist supply dumps, ambushing their patrols before locating Mayo and most of his force several days later. A pincer movement cornered the Blakist unit. When the mercenaries downed Mayo's [[Grand Crusader]], the Blakists began fighting much more ferociously. The Blakists were wiped out at the cost of most of the mercenary unit. After capturing Precentor Mayo, the Cannons salvaged as much as they could before leaving.<ref name=TCp90>''Total Chaos'', p. 90: "Binge, Purge, Flush"</ref>
 
 
 
An important industrial world, Kalidasa would be occupied by the Blakists until mid-July 3077, when allied coalition forces spearheaded by forces from the [[Com Guards]] launched a combined assault on Kalidasa as a part of [[Operation SCOUR]].<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Kalidasa was liberated by elements from Group III of the Free Worlds League task force, led by the Com Guard [[4th Army (ComStar)|Fourth Army]] on the 17th of July [[3077]], an event confirmed by the [[INN]] journalist [[Nigel Holmgren]] who presented a live broadcast from Kalidasa the next day. Holmgren had the opportunity to interview Commander [[Edith Byers]], the "Kalidasa Ghost", leader of the resistance movement on Kalidasa. The initial Fourth Army landings saw them on the receiving end of friendly fire from the Kalidasa resistance movement - a group named the Bard's Champions - as a result of what Byers referred to as confusion and judgment clouded by fear. Holmgren's report intimated that the resistance had already driven the Blakists from Kalidasa when the Group III forces arrived, and that the Group III forces were initially believed to be a Word of Blake task force returning to recapture Kalidasa.<ref name="JHS:Tp47">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 47: "Mistaken Identity"</ref>
 
  
The partisans who drove the Word of Blake off-world and the Coalition forces did not trust each other. Taking advantage of this, the [[Silver Hawks Coalition|Silver Hawks Coalition's]] [[Gryphons]] regiment arrived on the world to "support" the partisans.<ref name=O:FWLp34/>

Kalidasa's independence ended shortly after the Blakist defeat as the planet was among those annexed by the nascent [[Republic of the Sphere]] during [[Operation GOLDEN DAWN]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 16: "Operation GOLDEN DAWN" (sidebar)</ref> The next half-century saw Kalidasa benefit from the prevailing peace and prosperity, but following the [[Blackout]] the planet regained its independence in [[3135]].<ref name=EAp108/>
 
  
Kalidasa briefly joined the reborn Free Worlds League around [[3139]] but soon fell to the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during [[Operation HAMMERFALL]], only to be conquered again by the newly established [[Wolf Empire]] shortly after. Although the Wolves governed Kalidasa leniently, its inhabitants remained League loyalists and kept up a steady stream of resistance challenges to their Clan overlords.<ref name=EAp108/>

====IlClan era====
 
In [[3151]], spurred by reports of the Wolf Empire's weakness after the majority of the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Wolf ''touman'']] left for [[Terra]], League provincial forces engaged the Wolf garrison on Kalidasa intent on liberating the world. After multiple factions fought to a stalemate, [[Clan Sea Fox]] arranged for Kalidasa to pass under [[Covenant Worlds]] control in April [[3152]].<ref name=EAp108/>
