As part of the initial [[House Marik]] offensive into [[Capellan]] space, Phact was attacked in July [[2787]].  The assault force consisted of the [[Third Marik Militia]] and the [[Second Orloff Grenadiers]] with an escort of three [[WarShips]].  There was no resistance and the local government surrendered without a fight.  By September of the same year, the general quiet on world allowed the [[Third Marik Militia]] to be redeployed to [[Corey]] to help put down [[Capellan]] resistance there.<ref name="FSWp55-56">''First Succession War (sourcebook)'', p. 55-56, "Corey and Wazan"</ref>

In [[2840]], an unknown [[Free Worlds League]] force attacked Phact. The defending [[Justinia's Cuirassiers|Capellan Curassiers]], whose headquarters was located on world, took heavy losses in the defense of the planet. In one instance, the [[Capellan Confederation]] ''[[Union]]''-class [[DropShip]] ''[[Silent Sword]]'' was attacked during liftoff and crashed in the region knows as the Plains of Fury. A recovery operation was launched to rescue any surviving personnel as well as salvage any usable matériel. In the end, the Confederation troops drove off the attacking League forces.<ref name=FF>''Legacy (Anthology)'', pp. 46-66, "''Fates and Fortunes''"</ref>

Following the speech given by [[First Prince]] [[Hanse Davion]] on the 16th of November [[3029]], the official day of thanks in the Federated Suns, contained a number of revelations including the creation of the [[St. Ives Compact]] and was taken by many as an open sign that the [[Fourth Succession War]] was close to ending.<ref name="4SWv2p58">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 58, "Thanksgiving"</ref> The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] launched the Seventh Wave of [[Operation RAT]] shortly after, in a determined effort to secure as many systems as possible before an armistice was declared. The Seventh Wave capitalized on negotiations that had been conducted in secret between the Federated Suns and various planetary governments in the remnants of the [[Sarna Commonality]] who lacked defenses and were far more fearful of being annexed by the [[Free Worlds League]], a state hated for centuries of raids and invasions, than they were the Federated Suns. In the last week of November the AFFS occupied thirteen systems, including Phact. The AFFS encountered little resistance, and relatively few troops were needed to provide a garrison to maintain calm.<ref name="4SWv2p59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 59, "Seventh Wave"</ref>

=====War of 3039=====
 
In [[3039]], the [[Second Oriente Hussars]] launched their infamous "Phact Finding" missions against the [[Sarna March]] of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] including the world of Phact.  Thinking that the Federated Commonwealth was focused on their war with the [[Draconis Combine]], when the Hussars launched their raid on Phact on June 19th they discovered to their surprise that the [[Fifteenth Arcturan Guards]] were on world. The attacking Hussars were forced to spend three weeks behind enemy lines on the run before escaping off world on July 10th with minimal losses.<ref name="FMFWLp93">''Field Manual: Free Worlds League'', p. 93, "Second Oriente Hussars"</ref><ref name="HW3039p63">''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 63, "Free Worlds League Operations"</ref>
