== Planetary History ==
=== Early History ===
When [[Shiro Kurita]] launched his invasion of the [[Principality of Rasalhague]] in an attempt to annex the Principality and add it to the [[Draconis Combine]] during the 2330s and 2340s the brutalities inflicted by the Combine forces were such that many of the survivors fled from the Principality. In some instances, survivors from one or more Principality worlds banded together to found new colonies. Technicians from '''St. John''' joined with survivors from other worlds - craftsmen and artists from [[Predlitz]] and [[Kufstein]] as well as engineers from [[New Bergen]] - to settle the worlds of [[Bensinger]], [[Steelton]] and [[Toland]]. All three worlds were on the outer reaches of settled human space, cold and icy worlds that would subsequently be courted by the growing [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref name="TP1Ep17">''The Periphery, 1st Edition'', p. 17, "Inner Sphere Politics"</ref>

===Star League===
====Prior to the Star League Civil War====
In [[2764]], the [[47th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division]] of the [[Star League Defense Force]] destroyed a base for the armed group called the [[Great North]] on [[Outpost]], [[New Bergen]] and St. John.  However, the [[SLDF]] troops thought they were defeating a group of [[Periphery]] separatists.  In actuality, the group was made of ethnic Rasalhagians wanted for political and cultural crimes by the [[Draconis Combine]].  The SLDF troops were unknowingly doing the dirty work of oppressive Combine policies.  This revelation nearly caused the entire Division to mutiny.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 191, "47th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division"</ref>

===Clan Invasion===
====Operation Revival====
During [[Operation Revival]] the planet was conquered by [[Clan Wolf]] in April [[3050]].  The planet was defended by the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th St. Johns Free Brigades and under the command of a hero of [[Rasalhague]]'s fight for independence, [[Överste]] [[Klinton Meyer]].  Thanks to his aggressive defense ''Överste'' Meyer was able to hold out against [[Supernova (unit)|Supernovas Command]] and Second of the [[341st Assault (Clan Wolf)|341st Assault Cluster]] until [[Star Colonel]] [[Ramon Sender]] forced his surrender by threatening the lives of innocent civilians.  For this "dishonorable action" the Star Colonel was publicly reprimanded by [[Khan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]].<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'',  p. 58, "First Wave"</ref>

=== The Jihad ===
Clan Hell's Horses launched a invasion of the Clan Wolf holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]] in early 3071, acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. St. John was seized by the Hell's Horses at some point in March or early April, who then consolidated their hold on the world.<ref name="JHS3076p15">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 15, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref>
