=== First Succession War ===

Mirach was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May [[2787]].<ref name="FSWp44"/> In 2795, following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the Federated Suns intended to capture the politically-significant [[Chesterton]] system. Planned by Quinn, the operation was intended to take advantage of the AFFS' continuing focus on trying to resist the massive [[Draconis Combine]] invasion of the Federated Suns, which stood poised to capture [[New Avalon]] itself. The first worlds to be targeted were [[Caselton]] and Mirach; in April 2795 Quinn used elements of the [[Northwind Highlanders]] and the [[Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers]], both ex-[[Star League Defense Force]] units turned mercenaries, to attack the two worlds. The defending forces were a mix of AFFS regulars and militia forces, and had suffered for years from broken supply chains while deploying a large part of their strength in efforts to aid forces still fighting on worlds occupied by the Combine. As a result, the defenders quickly crumbled in the face of the assault, and by August 2795 the CCAF had moved in line regiments to hold both worlds, freeing up the Highlanders and Rangers to launch invasions of [[Demeter]] and [[Farwell]].<ref name="FSWp81"/> In 2810 the AFFS returned to Mirach, attempting to recapture the planet during two years of conflict in the systems around Chesterton.<ref name="FSWp98">''First Succession War'', p. 98, "The Davion Counter-Offensives"</ref><ref name="FSWp93">''First Succession War'', p. 93, "Far Enough: The Confederation-Suns Front"</ref>

The AFFS forces were unsupported by the allied coalition assembled by [[Devlin Stone]], and the assaults were quickly slowed by the defending forces; it was reported that the assault was planned and launched by rogue elements within the AFFS command, explaining the lack of support from the coalition.<ref name="JHS:Tp23">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 23, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

On the 22nd of November [[3132]] raiders attacked Mirach.<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10, "Dark Age Timeline"</ref> The raiders struck at a number of industrial sites located on the Ventrale continent, but were easily defeated by the [[First Cossack Lancers]] - an elite militia unit - particularly after a series of unfortunate accidents befell the raiders. Although the identity of the raiders was never proven, the general sentiment among the population was that they had been hired or employed by [[Jacob Bannson]].<ref name="ED:DAp6">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 6, "Important Military Actions of Late 3132"</ref> In May [[3133]] a coup was launched against the government on Mirach; although the coup was unsuccessful<ref name="ED:DAp8"/><ref name="ED:DAp10"/> and lasted less than ten days,<ref name="ED:DAp10">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10, "Dark Age Timeline"</ref> it was symptomatic of the chaos expanding throughout the region in the wake of [[Gray Monday]].<ref name="ED:DAp8">''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 8, "3133: Maneuvers"</ref>

Planetary History

Early History

Mirach was originally settled to take advantage of the large amounts of minerals and metal ores that were simply lying on the surface of the world. Easy access to these minerals rapidly boosted the planet's economy.[63] During the early twenty-third century the Terran Alliance was waning, leading the Tikonov Union to occupy Mirach as part of a campaign that also netted the Union the nearby worlds of Algol, Rio, Ruchbah and Tybalt.[3] Although Mirach was notionally an independent world on the border of the Tikonov Grand Union and the Marlette Association in the late twenty-third and early twenty-fourth centuries, Mirach was claimed by both states at the end of the twenty-third century, and at some point between 2302 and 2306 the Marlette Association annexed the world along with several other border worlds.[4]

A campaign was launched by Tikonov forces in late 2308 to conquer the various worlds the Marlette Association had captured, but the Tikonov forces hadn't captured Mirach by the time the campaign ended, following the death of the commanding officer, General Diana Chinn.[68] Despite this, by the time Reynard Davion came to power in the Federated Suns, the Tikonov Grand Union had gained control of Mirach. In 2344 Reynard Davion used two Federated Suns task forces to stage demonstrations of strength around Mirach to keep the attention of the Grand Union and it's armed forces on Mirach; Reynard then used this distraction to launch a highly successful attack on Almach, another world that had been contested between the Tikonov Union and the Marlette Association.[6] By the time the Capellan Confederation formed in 2366, the Grand Union had lost control of Mirach to the Federated Suns.[7]

These frequent raids prevented most heavy industry from forming on the world's two continents: Musasalah and Ventrale. The world's capital city is Cingulum.[63]

Star League Era

Mirach served as a supply world for the SLDF's Second Army, particularly IX Corps.[69] In 2783 the Federated Suns annexed Mirach.[19]

First Succession War

Mirach was invaded during the first half of the major invasion into the Federated Suns launched by the Draconis Combine in May 2787.[21] In 2795, following the appointment of Sandol Quinn as regent to Ilsa Liao, the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces launched an invasion of the Federated Suns intended to capture the politically-significant Chesterton system. Planned by Quinn, the operation was intended to take advantage of the AFFS' continuing focus on trying to resist the massive Draconis Combine invasion of the Federated Suns, which stood poised to capture New Avalon itself. The first worlds to be targeted were Caselton and Mirach; in April 2795 Quinn used elements of the Northwind Highlanders and the Fourth Tau Ceti Rangers, both ex-Star League Defense Force units turned mercenaries, to attack the two worlds. The defending forces were a mix of AFFS regulars and militia forces, and had suffered for years from broken supply chains while deploying a large part of their strength in efforts to aid forces still fighting on worlds occupied by the Combine. As a result, the defenders quickly crumbled in the face of the assault, and by August 2795 the CCAF had moved in line regiments to hold both worlds, freeing up the Highlanders and Rangers to launch invasions of Demeter and Farwell.[22] In 2810 the AFFS returned to Mirach, attempting to recapture the planet during two years of conflict in the systems around Chesterton.[24][23]

The Jihad

The Word of Blake conquered Mirach during September 3069 and incorporated it into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[57] AFFS forces landed on Mirach as well as the nearby worlds of Caselton and Schedar on the 2nd of December 3076 and attempted to liberate the world. The AFFS forces were unsupported by the allied coalition assembled by Devlin Stone, and the assaults were quickly slowed by the defending forces; it was reported that the assault was planned and launched by rogue elements within the AFFS command, explaining the lack of support from the coalition.[70][71]

The Dark Age

On the 22nd of November 3132 raiders attacked Mirach.[72] The raiders struck at a number of industrial sites located on the Ventrale continent, but were easily defeated by the First Cossack Lancers - an elite militia unit - particularly after a series of unfortunate accidents befell the raiders. Although the identity of the raiders was never proven, the general sentiment among the population was that they had been hired or employed by Jacob Bannson.[73] In May 3133 a coup was launched against the government on Mirach; although the coup was unsuccessful[74][72] and lasted less than ten days,[72] it was symptomatic of the chaos expanding throughout the region in the wake of Gray Monday.[74]
