===Planetary History===
Halstead Station is a world settled exclusively for its vast mineral resources. Unfortunately the planet's surface is completely unsuited to human life, featuring a toxic nitrogen-heavy cyanide-argon atmosphere. To overcome this the [[Ozawa Mercantile Association]] established a vast series of underground cities, factories, and domed cities that covered approximately 3% of the planet's surface.<ref name=DARWp33/> After the world joined with the Draconis Combine, it found new use as a military staging area, military prison, and punishment duty station.<ref name=DARWp33/>

During the Star League era, Halstead Station served as the homeport for the [[4th Fleet (Star League)|Fourth Fleet]] of the Star League Navy.  To prevent friction with the local population, the naval component kept a low profile on world.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 76: "Homeport"</ref>

Early in the [[War of 3039]] Halstead Station was taken by the green [[Fifth FedCom RCT]] supported by a unit of the [[Fighting Urukhai]]. After the Fifth took the world they began constructing elaborate bunker systems and ammunition dumps on the icy world.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 36–37</ref> In August 3039, the [[DCMS]] responded by sending the [[First Sword of Light]] and [[Seventh Sword of Light]] regiments to the system. There the First pinned the Fifth in place, while the Seventh landed behind them. The experienced Kuritan forces began to grind the green Fifth FedCom between them. A [[battalion]] of [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] under the command of [[Major]] [[Donald Trent]] chose to desert, seized four ''[[Union (DropShip class)|Union]]''-class [[DropShip]]s and an ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]], and subsequently established themselves as a mercenary unit named the [[Black Outlaws#Formation|Outlaws]] in service to the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]].<ref name="FM:MRp44">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 44: "The Black Outlaws: Dark Phoenix"</ref> The remainder of the Fifth was able to break contact with the elite Sword of Light regiments when the Urukhai regiment slammed into the Sword's flank.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 83</ref>
