====Early History====
Lothair first appeared on interstellar maps shortly before the [[Reunification War]], but by that point was already a heavily-populated world with a rapidly growing industrial base. The Taurian Concordat had worked hard to keep Lothair a secret, but intelligence gathered by the [[Star League Defense Force]] after the beginning of the war in [[2578]] pointed to the existence of this important world. By [[2580]], the SLDF had located Lothair and was ready to launch an assault, with [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] in the vanguard of the assault. [[Major General]] [[Harmond Vriss]], the VI Corps commanding officer, was forced to plan the campaign with very little information to go on.

'''Lothair''' first appeared on interstellar maps shortly before the [[Reunification War]], but by that point was already a heavily-populated world with a rapidly growing industrial base. The Taurian Concordat had worked hard to keep Lothair a secret, but intelligence gathered by the [[Star League Defense Force]] after the beginning of the war in [[2578]] pointed to the existence of this important world. By [[2580]] the [[SLDF]] had located Lothair and was ready to launch an assault, with [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] in the vanguard of the assault. [[Major General]] [[Harmond Vriss]], the VI Corps commanding officer, and his forces were forced to plan the campaign with very little information to go on.
  
 
The assault on Lothair rapidly saw Vriss and his forces trapped in the same form of brutal slugging match the SLDF had experienced in the campaign for the [[Pleiades Cluster]], facing dogged and heavy resistance from the [[6th Concordat Velites]], a part of the Taurian [[IV Corps (Taurian Concordat)|IV Corps]], and the inevitable civilian brigades. The progress of the campaign to conquer the planet was often measured in centimeters; the defenders ensured that battles such as those to capture Industrialplexes 2 and 4 and the important city of Satrinos were measured not just in centimeters but by body count. Complicating the SLDF campaign was a resurgent resistance on the nearby world of [[Anaheim]], pulling support for Vriss' forces away; while VI Corps would finally destroy the 6th Concordat Velites in early November, the civilian population continued to resist and it would be well into [[2581]] before Lothair could be considered to have been pacified.<ref name="H:RWp73"/>
