Commanding the Lyran task force assigned to the invasion of Kirchbach was General Toka; aware of the significant [[DCMS]] forces on the planet Troka requested permission to deploy the [[1st Tyr|Tyr]] assault-weight regiment assembled in secret from members of the Tyr resistance movement and those with ties to the former [[Rasalhague Principality]] in addition to the [[Fourth Donegal Guards]], [[Third Lyran Regulars]] and the mercenary command [[Winfield's Brigade]].<ref name="NAIS4SWp60"/><ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref> |

Planetary History
Early History
Kirchbach was originally a part of the Principality of Rasalhague, one of the early proto-realms established after the Demarcation Declaration. Invaded by the Draconis Combine in the Twenty-fourth century, Kirchbach was conquered and added to the Combine.[50] Based on Kirchbach's absence from maps, it was most likely depopulated or abandoned either during the invasion or during the Age of War.[4][5]
Star League Era
The Thirty-second Lyran Guards were conducting a bandit-hunting operation in the Kirchbach system in the mid-2760s when a freak JumpShip accident occurred; the accident caused the loss of two battalions from the Thirty-second, and in 2765 the regiment was still recovering from the tragic events.[51]
Third Succession War
When Kirchbach was part of the Draconis Combine, it was on the Combine border with the Lyran Commonwealth and the Periphery. As a result it was a frequent target of raids by both pirates and the LCAF. In fact the LCAF raided the world in 3023 and smashed the local computer systems. This collapsed the entire world's computer network that required specialists from Luthien to fix.[1]
Fourth Succession War
Kirchbach was one of the worlds invaded by the Lyran Commonwealth during Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, the major Lyran Commonwealth offensive of the Fourth Succession War,[22] following the order issued by Archon Katrina Steiner on the 21st of October to exploit the successes of the first wave of the Operation.[52] Kirchbach was a Prefecture capital, making it an important administrative hub within the Rasalhague Military District. Stationed on Kirchbach were the Seventeenth Rasalhague Regulars along with the remaining elements of the Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group and Helmut's Hermits, the latter two commands having retreated from worlds invaded in the first wave. Commanding the Lyran task force assigned to the invasion of Kirchbach was General Toka; aware of the significant DCMS forces on the planet Troka requested permission to deploy the Tyr assault-weight regiment assembled in secret from members of the Tyr resistance movement and those with ties to the former Rasalhague Principality in addition to the Fourth Donegal Guards, Third Lyran Regulars and the mercenary command Winfield's Brigade.[22][53]
The Tyr regiment routed the Seventeenth Rasalhague Regulars in a battle near the city of Östersund; the appearance of the regiment prompted a popular revolt among the population, who were still predominantly of Scandinavian heritage. The population engaged in riots and strikes, while members of the Tyr underground movement launched sabotage attacks that helped fuel an environment so hostile to the DCMS forces that they were left feeling as if they were fighting in an enemy realm.[22][50] With the Seventeenth damaged and the Fifth Amphigean LAG and Helmut's Hermits still weak from their earlier battles the DCMS was forced to recall its forces from Kirchbach. General Kelly Benzinger, the commanding officer of the Seventeenth, committed suicide on Kirchbach.[22]
Clan Invasion
Kirchbach was conquered by Clan Wolf during Operation Revival as part of their Third Wave of attacks in June 3050. Trinaries Assault and Rogue of the 4th Wolf Guards landed on the planet and made their advance towards Kirchbach's defenders, the 3rd Kavalleri and 1st Kirchbach Armored Regiment, located at the snow-covered Thorson's Hollow. During the advance however Clan Wolf took advantage of the planet's local media and began broadcasting propaganda which severely unnerved the inexperienced Kavalleri. By the time the Wolves finally reached their position the Kavalleri forces turned and fled. The battle was a complete victory for Clan Wolf, while Överste Barrie Fraga managed to escape off-world with just a battalion of her 'Mechs.[54]
Jihad
The planet was conquered again during the Jihad by Clan Hell's Horses, which launched an invasion of the Clan Wolf holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071, acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. Kirchbach was seized by the Hell's Horses between the 7th and 14th of April 3071.[37]
Prior to the Clan Invasion Kirchbach was beginning to develop an armaments industry. The world's falling under the control of Hell's Horses expedited these plans, and plants on the world produce a variety of different weapons.[2]

Kirchbach has three continents, Hermagor where the capital city New Samos is located, Carinthia and Gailtal.[2]
