Planetary History[edit]

Reunification War[edit]

By the end of the Age of War, Luanda was a member of the Finmark Province of the Rim Worlds Republic.[1] In 2575, civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic with the factions polarized around those loyal to First Consul Gregory Amaris and those loyal to the Rift Republican Army and the Rim Provisional Government.[33] While the civil war stretched across the length of the Rim Worlds Republic, Luanda had already collapsed into civil war in 2573, two years earlier, but Amaris had been unable to intervene before he found himself isolated on his capital world, Apollo.[34]

The Star League eventually decided to intervene in support of Amaris, and in 2579 assembled Task Force MAILED FIST—a multinational force headed by the Star League Defense Force—to help secure his control over the Rim Worlds Republic. 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 Luanda in 2589.[35]

The Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces arrived on Luanda in July 2590 to discover that the civil war had become a brutal fratricidal war that had killed tens of thousands. Attempting to act as peacekeepers, the Archon's troops found themselves under attack from all three factions on the world, leading to military actions to quash the local militias even as the Archon engaged in delicate political negotiations to try and restore peace and order. Luanda was the last world in the Finmark Province to be conquered by the Star League.[34]

Amaris Civil War[edit]

Luanda was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth during the 2773–2775 Republic-Commonwealth War,[11] and vanished from maps during the Second Succession War.[11][12][14]
