The [[Draconis Combine]] had a small garrison defending a depot on the planet on [[3024]] when pirates led by [[Helmar Valasek]] [[Battle of Porthos (3024)|raided]] the planet with a ''[[Union (DropShip class)|Union]]''-class [[DropShip]]. ''[[Locust]]''s, ''[[Wasp]]''s, and ''[[Stinger]]''s led a lighting attack and were able to seize the supplies they wanted and escaped off-world.<ref name=TRO3025p8/>

====Clan Invasion====

=== Clan Invasion ===
The system was quickly conquered by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during [[Operation REVIVAL]] in September [[3049]]. When the Ghost Bears originally arrived they had expected no resistance, only to find a single warrior standing in their way. Uchi Tikidomo, formerly of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]], who had retired to Porthos where he had planned to live out his days in peace after serving with distinction in the [[War of 3039]]. Tikidomo met the Ghost Bears at their landing site near Deson Ranch in his ''[[Archer]]'' [[BattleMech]] and promptly challenged them for control of his defenseless world. The Ghost Bears immediately accepted his challenge, and [[Star Captain]] [[Ian DelVillar]] of [[Ourse Keshik (Clan Ghost Bear)|Ourse Keshik's]] Alpha [[OmniMech]] [[Star]] won the right to face off in his [[Nova]] BattleMech against Tikidomo. While the mismatched fight ended in a predictable fashion, Tikidomo's tenacity in the face of adversity so impressed the Star Captain that he agreed to hire the former warrior as a liaison between the planet's government and their new [[Clan]] overlords.<ref name=IC30>''Invading Clans'', p. 30</ref>

====First Combine-Dominion War====
At some time during the [[First Combine-Dominion War]], the [[Thirteenth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] of the DCMS raided Porthos, one of the few worlds where [[Clan Ghost Bear]] had not launched an attack from.  While there, the Thirteenth seriously damaged [[Clan Ghost Bear]]'s [[Fifth Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Phalanx]] before withdrawing.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112: "13th Sun Zhang Cadre (Tenacity)"</ref>

===Dark Age===
 
The Bears had trouble integrating the system into their Occupation Zone and more problems integrating it into the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]]. In the early 3090s, the Bears saw that [[Clan Hell's Horses]] was just giving up on some marginal systems, and decided to follow suit. Porthos was handed back to the Inheritors and the Bears withdrew to more complex systems. Porthos later joined with [[Santander V]] to form the proto-state known as [[The Havens]].<ref name=IP3>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 45</ref>
