====Age of War====

==== Age of War ====
First settled at some point after [[2340]],<ref name="HB:HSp13"/> but before [[2499]], Cebalrai was originally settled as a "rest stop" for travelers and colonists heading to other worlds. The planet itself had little to offer to settlers, having a thin atmosphere that lets large amounts of solar radiation through. To combat this, the early settlers raised reflective domes and screens over their cities. During the Age of War, renegade forces attacked Cebalrai from a neighboring system and devastated Wade with nuclear weapons; Cebalrai was subsequently depopulated or abandoned, but [[Star League]] engineers were able to restore the planet's ecosphere and remove the radiation from the water and air. This allowed the inhabitants of Cebalrai to thrive.<ref name=DARWp9/>

The [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] didn't inflict much damage on Cebalrai; the world saw some battles between the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] and Draconis Combine that left visible marks on the landscape, but nothing to match the nuclear holocaust of the Age of War.<ref name=DARWp9/> During the [[Fourth Succession War]] the Lyran Commonwealth used the [[Second Regiment (12th Star Guards)|Second Regiment]] of the [[Twelfth Star Guards]] to capture Cebalrai as a part of the exploitation phase of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]].<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref> While the Second managed to conquer the planet, the Combine counterattacks launched during the same timeframe as the final wave of Lyran attacks saw the Combine recapture Cebalrai.<ref name="FSWMAv1p60">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 60–61: "End of the Offensive"</ref>

Cebalrai remained a part of the Word of Blake Protectorate until the planet was targeted by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in August [[3075]]. The Ghost Bears landed forces from their [[Omicron Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Omicron Galaxy]] on Cebalrai in mid-August, with the initial landings on Lennori being conducted by the [[69th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] and the [[First Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|First]] and [[Seventh Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Bear Regulars]].<ref name="JHS3076p47">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 47: "Cebalrai Free, But At What Cost?"</ref>

Having established landing zones the Ghost Bear forces swiftly pushed the Blakist forces off the continent of Lennori and continued to pursue them across Sarrina, a pursuit that culminated in a bloody three-day campaign to seize control of New Wade, the capital city of Cebalrai. New Wade was secured by the Ghost Bears on the 18th of August and the government reestablished; concerns about rogue Blakist units and supporters led to the First Bear Regulars remaining in place to both act as guards and recuperate from their losses.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/>

The Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC continued to harry the retreating Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenary forces, pursuing them back to Dragga, where the Blakists still controlled the three main cities. The main Blakist strength was at Kamrin, a heavily industrial city, and the Ghost Bear forces were driving deep into the city when the Blakists acted out of desperation and detonated a chain of five neutron bombs that had been concealed under the city. The results were devastating for the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC, who were collectively reduced to just a handful of survivors.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/><ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

Cebalrai has four continents named Dragga, Hellesdon, Lennori, and Sarrina. The continent of Sarrina lies at the north pole; also in the northern hemisphere is the continent of Lennori, while Dragga lies in the southern hemisphere. Hellesdon is located at the equator but is little more than a barren, desert waste rendered uninhabitable by a combination of solar radiation and high temperatures.<ref name=DARWp9/>
