Planetary History
Reunification War
By the end of the Age of War Kwangjong-ni was a member of the Finmark Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[2] In 2575, one of the closing years of the Age of War, civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic, with the factions polarised around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[16]
The Star League eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force, Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing Operation MAILED FIST, the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near Apollo,[17] until a destructive raid on Alarion by the 4th Amaris Fusiliers in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing Rim Worlds Army concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.[18]
In late 2584 the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities perpetrated by the Draconis Auxiliary Corps when they captured Nightwish in mid-2584.[19]
Archon Viola Steiner-Dinesen of Battle Group Finmark assigned all three regiments from the Lyran Auxiliary Corps - the Tamar Tigers, the Twenty-Fifth Skye Rangers and her own Fourth Royal Guards - to the conquest of of Kwangjong-ni in 2588. The Star League forces successfully took control of Kwangjong-ni, defeating the local militia and partisan forces, and all three LCAF units remained in place on the planet until they were redeployed for the invasion of Luanda in 2590.[20]
Star League Era
Kwangjong-ni was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773-2775 Republic-Commonwealth war.[6] During the Star League era the Republic set up a BattleMech factory located in an underwater habitat hidden deep in Kwangjong-ni's massive Lost Sea, the facility falling into disuse and disrepair after the Republic's collapse and Lyran take-over of the world.[21]
The Jihad
In the years leading-up to the Word of Blake Jihad, Defiance Industries learned of the hidden factory, spending considerable sums to locate and refurbish it to function. Acting as a production site for the company's secretive R&D efforts, the Kwangjong-ni plant had three easily reconfigurable production lines which reached full production capacity during the Jihad, helping to off-set the loss of Hesperus II to the Blakists. To protect it from both attack and prying eyes, the plant's actual location is kept top secret, large cargo subs carrying needed parts in and finished designs out the only method of reaching the factory, the sub's home port heavily defended by the planet's militia.[21] [22]
