===Planetary History===

====Star League Era====
 
−
Although Circinus was an uninhabited system during the [[Star League era]], it was a base of operations for pirates. In the 2760s the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] conducted [[Operation HOUND DOG]], a mission to hunt down the Circinus-based pirates; the [[Free Worlds League]] declined to provide any troops for the operation, referring to the mission as a "snipe hunt," but the [[Star League Defense Force]] sent observers to accompany the [[Second Lyran Guards Division]]. The Second Lyran Guards Division consisted of the [[Twenty-first Lyran Guards|Twenty-first]], [[Twenty-third Lyran Guards|Twenty-third]], [[Twenty-fourth Lyran Guards|Twenty-fourth]], [[Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards|Twenty-sixth]], [[Twenty-ninth Lyran Guards|Twenty-ninth]], and [[Thirtieth Lyran Guards]] and the Division took relatively few casualties during the course of its hunt, with the various regiments returning to garrison postings inside the Commonwealth by [[2765]].<ref name="FR2765p12">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12: "Lyran Guards"</ref>

====Rim Worlds Campaign====
 
−
Following the coup launched by [[Stefan Amaris]], [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]], the Commanding Officer of the [[Star League Defense Force]], announced that he intended to occupy the [[Rim Worlds Republic]]. General Kerensky established the [[Fourteenth Army Group (Star League)|Fourteenth Army Group]] as the lead Army Group for the invasion, and elements of the [[Ninth Army (Star League)|Ninth Army]] fought in the campaign to occupy the Rim Worlds Republic. General Kerensky divided the invasion forces into two task forces, one headed by himself, and the other by [[General]] [[Aaron DeChavilier]], and the Ninth formed a part of DeChavilier's task force.<ref name="H:LoTV1p105">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 105: "The Gathering Storm"</ref>

−
In September [[2677]], the Ninth was deployed as part of the third wave of invasions into the [[Erdvynn Province]] of the Republic, tasked with capturing Circinus. During the years in which the SLDF had maintained a presence in the Rim Worlds Republic until the withdrawal of the [[Tenth Army Group (Star League)|Tenth Army Group]] the SLDF had built and maintained twenty fortress complexes within the Republic. One of these bases, Camp Amber, was located on Circinus; the base anchored the Republic's rimward defenses and it was considered a threat to SLDF operations. The Ninth initially concentrated on securing industrial sites and civilian population centers, but found themselves being stung by hit-and-fade attacks from an enemy [[BattleMech]] force. The attackers were identified as the [[Twenty-third Amaris Chasseurs]], and the SLDF was able to track the Chasseurs back to their base of operations... Camp Amber. This was a little embarrassing for the SLDF, as Camp Amber—buried under the northern Ezo Desert—had been believed to be abandoned, and therefore hadn't been a priority.<ref name="H:LoTV1p106">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 106: "Camp Amber"</ref>
 
  
−
The Commanding Officer of the Ninth, General [[Thierry Dhaif]], assigned two complete divisions to capture and secure Camp Amber. These two divisions—the [[108th Jump Infantry Division]] and the [[275th BattleMech Division]]—moved to breach the heavily fortified and concealed entrances to Camp Amber. Initially plagued by snipers and hidden weapon emplacements as they attempted to open the massive blast doors and gain access to the underground complex, the battle to secure Camp Amber would take six weeks, despite the vast disparity in numbers between the SLDF and [[Rim Worlds Army]] forces. Camp Amber was a labyrinth, and the Chasseurs were able to withdraw in good order to secondary and tertiary defensive positions within the complex. Despite the efforts made by the Chasseurs, the SLDF numbers made the difference—particularly after one company of Chasseurs made an ill-judged attempt to break out of Camp Amber and ran straight into a regiment of SLDF troops. When the SLDF finally secured Camp Amber on the 25th of October, the occupation of Circinus was complete.<ref name="H:LoTV1p106">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 106: "Camp Amber"</ref>

====Succession Wars====
+
==Planetary Info==
−
By the end of the [[Third Succession War]] the planetary capital city of Circinus, Clayborne Remembered, had a population of some ten thousand people. Persistent rumors stated that the northern deserts of the world were home to training bases and secret caches containing the spoils of various raids against Free Worlds League and Lyran Commonwealth worlds.<ref name=TPp145/>
+
'''Circinus''' is a dry world, rich with deposits of minerals, gemstones, and radioactive material (whether radioisotopes left from some disaster or naturally occurring uranium, etc., is unstated).  The capital city is Clayborne Remembered, population ~10,000 people. Wild rumors persist that there are secret caches and training bases in the northern deserts, the spoils of looting worlds on the border with the [[Lyran Alliance]] and the [[Free Worlds League]]<ref name=TPp145/>.
  
−
====Marian Hegemony Invasion====
+
==Planetary History==
−
''[[Caesar of the Marian Hegemony|Caesar]]'' [[Julius O'Reilly]] led an invasion of the Circinus Federation by the [[Marian Hegemony]] in [[3066]]. O'Reilly landed on Circinus at the head of [[I Legio]] and [[IV Legio]] as part of the second wave of the invasion, having already secured the border worlds of [[Blantleff]] and [[Maximillian]]. Anticipating a Marian Invasion, President H. R. "Little Bob" McIntyre had sought assistance from other nations, successfully enlisting covert aid from the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] and the [[Rim Collection]] of the Free Worlds League in the form of small mercenary units hired by proxy for the Federation. President McIntyre used these mercenary units to tie up two Marian legions on [[Illyria]] and [[Lothario]], preventing them from reinforcing ''Caesar'' O'Reilly; he also used those forces to launch hit-and-run attacks against [[III Legio]] and [[VI Legio]] on Maximillian and Blantleff. After agreeing various concessions with the [[Word of Blake]], McIntyre had the [[McIntyre House Guard]] and the [[Black Warriors]] re-equipped with new [[BattleMech]]s and, disguised as reinforcements from IV Legio, the two units attacked II Legio and VI Legio, preventing them from supporting O'Reilly's forces and robbing the invasion of momentum.<ref name="FM:Up197">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 197: "The Caesar's War"</ref>

With the McIntyre House Guard present on Circinus, the planetary defenses around the capital slowed the Marian invasion, and McIntyre had the Black Warriors launch an attack on the Marian capital world, [[Alphard (MH)|Alphard]]. News of the attack was deliberately sent to the Marian forces, leading O'Reilly to halt the invasion and redeploy his forces, pulling both Legions off Circinus as he secured his own capital and the two worlds already captured, effectively ending the war despite the lack of any formal ceasefire. O'Reilly did send diplomats to Circinus after his forces withdrew, but McIntyre responded by having the diplomats returned to Alphard without their heads.<ref name="FM:Up197"/>

=== The Jihad ===

Circinus was rendered uninhabitable in the closing battle of the [[Jihad]] which began on 2 April [[3081]]. A space-borne fleet from the [[Principality of Regulus]] had pursued [[The Master]] and his bodyguard from the world of [[Gibson]], subjecting each world to which they tracked him to a systematic orbital and nuclear bombardment. To ensure the destruction of [[The Master]] and any remaining senior members of the Word of Blake the Regulan flotilla spent several days subjecting Circinus to a systematic nuclear bombardment, using cobalt-laced weapons to ensure the highest possible level of destruction and ultimately the complete sterilization of Circinus.
