Loric is a pleasant agricultural world. Covered in forests with deep rivers flowing through them, picturesque mountain ranges, and pleasant shorelines, Loric would be a paradise if it wasn't located in the center of the Lyran/Free Worlds League border. Unfortunately its location makes it a strategic point for attacks, whether launched by the Commonwealth or the League. Since the [[Age of War]], Loric has been used as either a springboard for Lyran raids or an entry point into the Commonwealth by League forces. The world's only respite came during the time of the [[Star League]].<ref name=HB:HSp79/>

====Age of War====
In [[2459]], Free Worlds League [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Geralk Marik]] invaded the Loric system, held by the Lyran Commonwealth. His invasion had already conquered [[Bella I]] and [[Alula Australis]], and there was little reason to suspect that Loric would put up much resistance. Geralk, referred to as "the Bloodthirsty" for his flouting of the [[Ares Conventions]], led the assault personally. He did not account for something he had never before seen: Lyran [[BattleMech]]s. A company of 'Mechs destroyed Geralk's conventional regiment and overran his command post. Geralk was killed when a Lyran 'Mech stepped on him. League troops quit Loric three days later.<ref>''Handbook: House Marik'', pp. 19 & 21: "Paradigm Shift"</ref><ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 20</ref>

In [[2901]], the [[Sixth Marik Militia]] led an assault on Loric, supported by a large contingent of [[DropShip]]s and [[aerospace fighter]]s, and succeeded in crippling the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces units stationed on the world in what would become known as one of the most successful actions to be conducted by a [[Marik Militia]] [[regiment]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p90">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 90: "Marik Militia"</ref>  Loric was struck again by the Free Worlds League in [[2913]], when three regiments of the [[Marik Militia]] landed on the planet; the Militia was supported by a large contingent of aerospace fighters and DropShips and inflicted heavy damage on the defending LCAF forces, only retreating when reinforcements from the [[Donegal Guards]] arrived. The attack was perhaps the most successful strike made against the Lyran Commonwealth during the reign of Captain-General [[Elisabeth Marik]].<ref name="HM(TFWL)p39">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 39: "The Great Compromiser"</ref>

In March of [[3002]], Loric was the first target for attack by Janos Marik as part of a two-pronged offensive aimed at extending the borders of the Free Worlds League.  Two regiments of the [[Marik Militia]] along with the recently hired mercenary unit, [[Cady's Regiment]], were committed to taking the world.  However, word of the attack somehow had reached the Lyran High Command.  By the time the Marik DropShips made planetfall, they found the industrial targets reinforced, especially near the costal cities of Garth and Tromoth.  The Steiner defenders had improved the cities' artillery defenses, making the landward approaches a fiery nightmare.  This bogged the attack down significantly with the retreat eventually being sounded in November. <ref name="HM(TFWL)p51">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 51: "Seizing The Offensive"</ref>

In [[3014]], Loric was raided by forces from [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. The Dragoons were intent on a supply raid, and found themselves facing the mercenary unit [[Snord's Irregulars]]. The Irregulars not only successfully defeated the Dragoons, but also captured several Dragoon 'Mechs and three Dragoon [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]]. The Irregulars generously returned the three captive MechWarriors to the Dragoons, and earned a considerable degree of respect for victory over such a famed mercenary command, earning the Irregulars a reputation for being more than a collection of oddball treasure hunters.<ref name=CSI4>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 4</ref> What didn't become public knowledge was that the battle had actually been staged, with the encounter conducted in a [[Clan|Clanlike]] fashion involving ritualized fights that caused light damage to opponents.<ref name=RI7>''Rhonda's Irregulars'', p. 7</ref>

One of the units repositioned was the [[Stealthy Tigers]] mercenary unit, who were relocated from Loric to [[Giausar]]; the LCAF strategic intent wasn't to prevent a League invasion, but rather to make invading forces pay more dearly for any gains and slow the progress of any breakthrough.<ref name="FSWMAv1p63">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 63: "Overview"</ref>

Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds.

Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Loric was one of the worlds hit and was attacked by the League forces on the 2nd of September [[3068]].<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
  
 
The [[Second Free Worlds Guards]] emerged triumphant over the [[Seventh Donegal Guards]] after eight days of savage fighting that saw the massive Ghanadi Nature Preserve almost completely destroyed. After the FWL victory, the remnants of the Seventh Donegal surrendered and were incarcerated in a makeshift POW camp until [[Tharkad]] and the [[LAAF]] High Command could be contacted.<ref name=SteinerLines/>
