Political Affiliation

Planetary History

Phact is a generally tropical world. Its capital, as of 3071, is Hadari.[26]

Early History

In the 2600s, Terran lemons were imported to Phact. The non-native crop had to be genetically engineered to survive in the new environment. Thus lemonade from Phact lemons has an orange tint.[27]

Succession Wars

First Succession War

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.[9]

Phact would remain under Marik control until the end of the war.[28]

Second Succession War

In 2837, Capellan forces attack and retake Phact from the Free World league as it suffered from a nationwide HPG blackout during the ComStar War.[12]

In 2840, an unknown Free Worlds League force attacked Phact. The defending 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 material. In the end, the Confederation troops drove off the attacking League forces.[13]

Phact would remain under Capellan control until the end of the war.[29]

Third Succession War

Phact would remain a possession of the Capellan Confederation during the war.[30]

Fourth Succession War

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.[31] 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 for an armistice was declared. The Seventh Wave capitalised 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.[16]

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.[32][33]

Jihad

Between 13 and 16 September 3071, Manei Domini Precentor Gazael arrived on Phact with elements from several Protectorate Militia forces to ostensibly evacuate the local HPG that is under siege from Capellan forces. They secure the starport where they land their two DropShips, then escort a convoy of fifty vehicles out of the HPG. The convoy comes under heavy attack, but it eventually turns out it was a decoy with empty vehicles while the actual refugees fled through a secret tunnel directly to the spaceport.

Covered by the overall chaos surrounding the battle over the convoy, a Karnov UR transport delivered Adept Lee Angeni's squad of Nighthawk battle armor troopers to their real target, a Buddhist temple where rogue Precentor Meridon Shument was kept hidden by Maskirovka operatives and Death Commandos. Shument had sided with the Confederation and was going to provide them with secret HPG technology, something the Word of Blake would not allow to happen. Gazael had Shument killed on his own authority; Precentor Rangel back on Stewart wanted Shument alive but Gazael figured he was not under Rangel's command and could not afford to waste three months to transport Shument back for a show trial.[34]
