Planetary History

Fourth Succession War

New Caledonia was one of the worlds attacked in the opening wave of Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, the major Lyran Commonwealth offensive of the Fourth Succession War. Defending New Caledonia was the Second An Ting Legion, along with a large contingent of aerospace fighters. Desite the heavier than anticipated aerospace presence, the Tenth Donegal Guards RCT and the Thirtieth Lyran Guards RCT arrived in the New Caledonia system on the 22nd of August 3028, achieving total surprise over the defending forces. The Thirtieth dropped north of Redfev, the planetary capital city and major industrial center, while the Tenth dropped to the south of the city. The Second An Ting Legion managed to withdraw from New Caledonia, but the two Lyran RCTs inflicting enough damage on the Legion that more than a fifth of its equipment had been lost before the Legion escaped.[19]

Clan Invasion

In March 3050 the planet was invaded by the Command Nova, Trinary Assault and Binary Fighter of Clan Wolf's 328th Assault Cluster. The 2nd Drakøns, supported by the 1st and 4th Militia Tank Regiments and 8th Militia Infantry Regiment, initially resisted the attackers at Avesta and Kumla but were forced to retreat. While the Drakøns made an orderly withdrawal it was at the cost of two battalions. When they reached the continental capital of Redfev the Drakøns fled New Caledonia for Rasalhague, ceding the planet to Clan Wolf.[45]

Jihad

During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses launched a invasion of the Clan Wolf holdings in the Inner Sphere, acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. New Caledonia was one of the first worlds targeted, and was attacked in the opening wave of attacks that fell between the 21st and 28th of February 3071.[33]
