The Draconis Combine took control of the world after the fall of the first Star League. [[ComStar]] also established one of their bases on the world. Unbeknownst to the Dragon, ComStar found a hidden SLDF facility below the HTTC that contained two mixed companies of BattleMechs and tanks, but more importantly, detailed files on every Commonwealth and Combine world within five jumps of Sabik.<ref name=DARWp23/>

The Lyran Commonwealth captured Sabik as one of their conquests during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]] in the [[Fourth Succession War]], although the mercenary unit [[Barrett's Fusiliers]] would lose half its strength to the defending [[Kingston Caballeros]] during the struggle.<ref name="FM:MRp42">''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'', p. 42: "Barrett's Fusiliers: The Light Musketeers"</ref> Having pushed the Caballeros off Sabik, the Fusiliers assumed that it would take the Caballeros some time to rebuild. What the Fusiliers didn't realize was that the Caballeros has a substantial stockpile of matériel on [[Moore]], along with enough technical manpower to rebuild quickly. While the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces launched the final wave of attacks made under GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG the [[DCMS]] launched a series of counterattacks, and Sabik was one of the worlds hit.

After a lull, the Commonwealth went on the offensive again with [[Operation HOLDUR]]. The Commonwealth attacked Sabik for a second time, this time deploying the fresh [[Twenty-fourth Lyran Guards]]. Although adverse weather conditions on Sabik forced the Twenty-fourth to redeploy to secondary landing zones rather than being able to make their primary landing zone, the Twenty-fourth deployed in the middle of a blizzard and began closing on the Caballeros. The militia on Sabik used the ice caves to launch surprise hit-and-run attacks on the Guards, but were unable to prevent the Guards from closing on the town of Zoa, where the Caballeros were based. Despite being outnumbered the Caballeros squared off against the Guards bravely, wiping out Alpha Company of the Guards' First Battalion before being forced to retreat before the full weight of the [[RCT]] could be brought down on them.<ref name="FSWMAv2p77">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 77: "Sabik"</ref>
