Planetary History

The Jihad

Pleione was attacked and conquered by the Word of Blake during the first two weeks of December 3069, and was subsequently incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate.[24] During the last week of July 3075 the CCAF launched a campaign against the Word of Blake Protectorate garrisons on Menkar, Pleione and Wei. The civilian population of the three worlds took tens of thousands of civilian casualties during the offensive, as the Capellan forces used nuclear weapons as a part of their attempt defeat the Blakists.[34][35] Pleione resisted this first attack, as well as a second attack launched by the Capellans in 3078; the battle on the 2nd of May saw Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai virtually eradicated by Pocket WarShip attacks. The third attempt to seize Pleione was launched on the 30th of May, and this time the Capellans used WarShip support as well as extensive orbital bombardment as a part of their battle plan. Despite the orbital bombardment, the fall of Pleione's capital and the public execution of the pro-Blakist leadership on the planet at the hands of Capellan troops, the fighting continued until the 10th of June.[36][37] As a part of their May/June attack the CCAF deployed a substantial ground force, which according to the Capellan media consisted of Warrior House Hiritsu, the Harloc Raiders and Roman's Mounted Fusiliers.[38]
