Planetary History[edit]

Clan Invasion[edit]

Planting was conquered by Clan Wolf during Operation REVIVAL as part of their Third Wave of attacks in July 3050, with major battles taking place at Dantron Meander, Cosimell and Foshinur. Initially only the Silver Keshik commanded by saKhan Garth Radick along with Supernova Command and Trinary Battle of the 341st Assault Cluster were committed in an attempt to destroy the 41st Avalon Hussars, however the Hussars avoided traditional static defenses and instead set up a serious of carefully planned ambushes around the agroindustrial complexes of the Dantron-Sontor-Belex TriCities. Their efforts so surprised and infuriated Garth Radick that he was forced to break his bid and bring in the 3rd Battle Cluster to win the battle.[35]

In 3051, the Federated Commonwealth decided to support insurgency operations on the planet sending them as much supplies as possible. This was also the first time Inner Sphere battle armor was tested in battle. The Gorilla suits, recently completed based on reengineering of Clan Elemental Armor had been built by Dr. Banzai's Team, and NAIS had prepared a platoon to test the armor. This unit, Team Banzai's First Special Forces Infantry Strike Platoon (The Steel Gorillas), First Squad led by Leftenant Carter Hammerstone, was sent to Planting with a Leopard DropShip and were able to send 8 tons of supplies and extract several injured soldiers, and even destroyed a point of Clan Jade Falcon, 612th Reserve Cluster (The Green Claws), Delta Tango Charlie (DTC) Trinary, First Star (The Golden Grasp), First Point led by Star Commander Pribak that Jade Falcon overconfidence had selected as only unit to attack the raiders.[36]

The Jihad[edit]

As of 3072, a BattleMech Trinary commanded by Quinn Kerensky and named "Quinn's Ravagers" from the 1st Falcon Hussars raided prior to July the planet.[37]

Planting was conquered again during the Jihad when Clan Hell's Horses launched an invasion of Clan Wolf holdings in the Inner Sphere in early 3071, acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. Planting was seized by the Hell's Horses between the 7th and 28th of June 3071.[23] Clan Wolf later launched several counterattacks against worlds captured by the Hell's Horses; Planting was the target of one such counterattack, with Wolf forces establishing footholds the world in the first two weeks of November 3071,[38][25] and between the 14th and 31st of January 3072 the Wolves pushed the Hell's Horses off Planting.[25][24]
