Owner History

Planetary History

Star League Era

The Edge was perhaps the first world to be struck by the Third Hidden War when in 2741 a band of extremely well-equipped brigands raided the planet, stealing huge quantities of raw materials and killing hundreds of civilians. It would later be determined that the raiders had been funded by the Draconis Combine, information that would prompt direct confrontations within the Star League High Council and a dramatic escalation in "bandit" raids - active raiding by House forces from all of the various Great Houses operating without official acknowledgement.[30]

The Clan Invasion

In March 3050 The Edge was targeted by Clan Wolf forces as a part of Operation Revival and invaded by Supernova Command, Supernova First, Alpha and Bravo Fighter Stars of the 16th Battle Cluster. The defending mercenary unit, the Outlaws, faced off against the Clan invaders on the Plains of Torneträsk in what the Outlaws intended to be a set-piece battle, but which instead turned into a rout that saw just two companies of Outlaw forces escape.[1][31]

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. The first wave of attacks captured four worlds; the second wave captured another four, of which The Edge was one. The first wave was launched between the 21st and 28th of February 3071, with the second wave falling somewhere between the end of the first wave and the 7th of April.[21]
