For most of Buckminster's history it was an agricultural world whose light industry produced agricultural equipment. The products of the world were often sent to the nearby Lyran world of Port Moseby.<ref name=HKp184/> ==== Succession Wars Era ==== Buckminster was captured by the Draconis Combine during the [[First Succession War]],<ref name="H:LoTV1p11"/><ref name="H:LOTV2p122"/> and after Buckminster was made a Prefecture capital in [[3005]], the [[DCMS]] stationed the Second Sword of Light on the world.<ref name=HKp184/> The presence of military forces on the world, and the exercises and training runs that they require, dramatically reduced the productivity of the farmland. This had a bad effect on the local economy. These changes to the world took place in a scant two decades, and the population spawned several covert and overt antigovernment groups as a result of the damage inflicted on their world.<ref name=HKp184/> During the late Succession War Era, circa [[3005]], the planet had become the capital world of its own Prefecture.<ref name=HKDCp184>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 184: "Buckminster"</ref> The presence of so many BattleMechs started to affect the planet's crops and finally angered the people of Buckminster. Since then many overt and covert antigovernment groups have formed, giving the numerous [[ISF]] agents on the planet plenty to do.<ref name=HKDCp184/> ====Fourth Succession War==== During the [[Fourth Succession War]] in October [[3028]], this planet was targeted by Lyran forces led by [[General]] [[Roman Steiner]]. The Draconis Combine's defenders consisted of General [[Goshi Tengwan]], commanding the [[Second Sword of Light]] BattleMech regiment and other planet militias. The invasion force large aerospace formations pushed back Buckminster's aerospace forces landing the [[Third Royal Guards]] and other supporting regiments on Sanjusendo's lightly defended southern coastline in two prong campaign towards the planetary capital to the northeast.<ref name=4SWv1p52>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 52: "Buckminster"</ref> Lyran forces marched from Coloa coast long the coastline to attack the city of Pontiac, where a concentration of a company of the Second Sword of Light's heavy 'Mechs were stationed along with three tank regiments, three infantry regiments, and artillery battalion. General Steiner would instruct his RCT to surround the city try invade it. Initially, Steiner forces would be held off from due to the Kurita Artillery battalion effective accuracy. It would take the Royal Guards' aerospace forces to silent the guns to allow them take city. The Lyran ground forces would pass through the Greerson Mountains. Kurita forces had put a stiff defenses against the Lyrans, thus calling down special squadron of artillery armed DropShips, which used to subdue the forces defending the passes. The appearance of the mobile artillery flying behind enemy lines proved to be demoralizing. The DropShips' bombardment would cause Kurita forces to retreat in disarray. The Kuritan surviving elements of the Battle of the Passes would manage to return to Buckminster City where, they would awaited the [[Sixth Arkab Legion]] to arrive to reinforce them. Six weeks would pass, during this time the Legion would make its landings to the north of the fighting, where they attempt to confront the Third Royal RCT. Royal Guards would receive their own reinforcements in form of the [[Twentieth Arcturan Guards]], together they would engage in six week campaign trying prevent the Legion to link up with the Second Sword of Light. General Steiner utilized his DropShip squadron to stage artillery attacks from various locations, devastating the Legion. By December the Lyrans laid siege to the Second Swords held up in Buckminster City.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 52–55: "Battle of Buckminster - Actions taken during the early stages campaign of Fourth Succession War invasion of Planet"</ref> After four months, the Guards by this time were engaged with the Legion to contain them to the north. However, they received orders from General Steiner for them to head south to link with bulk of the Lyran forces in effort to take the capital in May [[3029]]. By June, Lyran forces would charge into the city attempting to take it. However, city's defenders had built up its defenses for such an attack. The Second Sword of Light and its supporting elements would conduct surprise attacks on them as they entered the city. While this occurred, the Sixth Arkab Legion took advantage of the Steiner invasion of the city to break out from the north, punching through the Lyrans' light screening force. This would ultimately break the Lyran siege of the capital and together with the Second Sword, forcing the Steiner forces withdraw from the planet once it became clear they wouldn't be able take the city.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 72–73: "3029 actions during the invasion of Buckminster"</ref> ==== The Jihad ==== The [[Word of Blake]] launched an assault on Buckminster during the second week of October [[3069]]; the Blakist ground troops were backed up by a fleet of [[Pocket WarShip]]s and during the course of their assault shattered several cities on the planet in addition to the defending [[Seventh Amphigean Light Assault Group]].<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Buckminster was then attacked for a second time by the Word of Blake; the second attack lasted from the 24th to the 30th of April [[3070]], and was successfully stopped by the defending [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Delta Regiment]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]], although the fierce defense of Buckminster cost the Dragoons greatly.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> During the [[Jihad]] the Second Sword of Light turned against the Dragon. This disgraceful action increased the [[ISF]] presence on Buckminster as the world served as the headquarters of the Second.
