The database of the ([[apocryphal]]) 1989 video game [[MechWarrior (1989 Video Game)|MechWarrior]], set around the year [[3025]], gives a population of 2.153 billion for Matsu and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert", "ice", or "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Precious metals mining center."{{ApocryphalContentEnd}}

=== Fourth Succession War ===
 +
Despite [[ComStar]] placing the Federated Suns under a communications [[interdiction]] after the invasion of [[Sarna]] in mid-[[3029]], the Capellan Operations Command of the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] received enough positive reports from the fifth wave of [[Operation RAT]] to launch the sixth wave in the second week of August 3029. The decision to launch wave six was in part driven by contact from planetary governments in the unconquered region of the [[Sarna Commonality]], indicating that the perceived threat of being annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]] was prompting a groundswell of opinion among those governments that being absorbed by the Federated Suns was a preferable alternative to being conquered by [[House Marik]]. The countless raids and invasions by the [[Free Worlds League Military]] over the centuries had embedded an intense hatred of House Marik among the planetary populations within the region, and confidence in the Capellan Confederation's ability to defend them was falling.<ref name="4SWv2p51">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 51, "Sixth Wave"</ref>
 +
 
 +
Matsu was one of the targets of the sixth wave of attacks, and was defended by just the planetary militia. The COC assigned the invasion of Matsu to the [[Seventh Crucis Lancers]] [[Regimental Combat Team]], but the militia on the planet was sharply divided between those who refused to fight against the Federated Suns troops and those who were determined to remain loyal to [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]]. The division prompted a brutal internecine conflict within the militia, and left the Lancers with little more to do than bury the dead before annexing the planet.<ref name="4SWv2p51"/>

Apocryphal Content Starts

The information after this notice comes from apocryphal sources; the canonicity of such information is uncertain.
Please view the reference page for information regarding their canonicity.

The database of the (apocryphal) 1989 video game MechWarrior, set around the year 3025, gives a population of 2.153 billion for Matsu and describes the environment as "ice" (out of only three broad impressions of planetary environments given in the game, these being "desert", "ice", or "tropical"). The description one-liner reads "Precious metals mining center."

Planetary History

Fourth Succession War

Despite ComStar placing the Federated Suns under a communications interdiction after the invasion of Sarna in mid-3029, the Capellan Operations Command of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns received enough positive reports from the fifth wave of Operation RAT to launch the sixth wave in the second week of August 3029. The decision to launch wave six was in part driven by contact from planetary governments in the unconquered region of the Sarna Commonality, indicating that the perceived threat of being annexed by the Free Worlds League was prompting a groundswell of opinion among those governments that being absorbed by the Federated Suns was a preferable alternative to being conquered by House Marik. The countless raids and invasions by the Free Worlds League Military over the centuries had embedded an intense hatred of House Marik among the planetary populations within the region, and confidence in the Capellan Confederation's ability to defend them was falling.[18]

Matsu was one of the targets of the sixth wave of attacks, and was defended by just the planetary militia. The COC assigned the invasion of Matsu to the Seventh Crucis Lancers Regimental Combat Team, but the militia on the planet was sharply divided between those who refused to fight against the Federated Suns troops and those who were determined to remain loyal to Chancellor Maximilian Liao. The division prompted a brutal internecine conflict within the militia, and left the Lancers with little more to do than bury the dead before annexing the planet.[18]
