A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (planet)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132, "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[Fourth Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133, "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref> It was during this stage that the detachments of the Fifth Amaris Fusiliers stationed in [[Star's End]] and [[Persistence]] were neutralized by Star League forces, leaving the detachment on Steelton as the last active contingent from the Fifth.<ref name="H:RWp155"/> In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities performed by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134, "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref> [[General]] [[Nathan Isaacson]] assigned two [[division]]s to the assault on Steelton in mid [[2595]], a much larger force than the surviving elements of the Fifth Fusiliers; in one of the few actions where divisions from different [[corps]] fought alongside each other, the [[Eleventh Royal Division]] from [[IV Corps (Star League)|IV Corps]] and the [[Sixteenth Division]] from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] landed on Steelton.<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153, "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588-2596)"</ref> With the defeat of the Fifth Fusiliers and the capture of Steelton Task Force MAILED FIST had secured the last world controlling the approaches to Apollo<ref name="H:RWp139">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 139, "Bitter Harvests (2591-2596)"</ref> although military operations continued; the Sixteenth remained on Steelton until the end of Operation MAILED FIST in late [[2596]], but the Eleventh redeployed in [[2596]] to capture the [[Vulture's Nest]] system.<ref name="H:RWp153"/> === Star League Era === Steelton was conquered by the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] during the [[2773]] - [[2775]] [[Republic-Commonwealth War]].<ref name="HB:MPSp37">''Handbook: Major Periphery States'', p. 37, "The Republic-Commonwealth War"</ref> === Third Succession War === Steelton was the target of one of the diversionary raids launched by the [[DCMS]] in [[2866]] in order to divert Lyran forces from the [[Federation of Skye]]. <ref name="HKp74">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 74, "Is War the Natural State of Man?"</ref> === Clan Invasion of 3050 === In April of [[3050]], Clan Jade Falcon dispatched the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth]] and the [[12th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twelfth Falcon Regulars]] [[Cluster|Clusters]] to take Steelton. The world's defenses were lead by [[Colonel]] Francis "Crab" Carranza, commanding the planet's militia force and the First Regiment of the [[Twelfth Star Guards]]. Colonel Carranza bluffed the Jade Falcon forces by making it appear he had a [[brigade]] of forces defending the planet. The inflated number of troops forced the bidding Jade Falcon commander to call in reinforcements which ultimately led to the Colonel's demise. The Falcons targetted the planet's capital city of Cregan's Bluff as the main objective; in the course of the battle the Twelfth Star Guards positions were overrun by Falcon forces, but the Twelfth managed to hold their positions long enough for elements of the Star Guards and the surviving militia forces to evacuate the planet, although Colonel Carranza was killed.<ref name="JFSBp37">'' Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 37 - Steelton - Brief info the battle for Steelton.</ref> === Jihad === During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses launched a invasion of the [[Clan Wolf]] holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]], acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space.
