| − | During the [[War of 3039]] Telos IV was invaded by the [[Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]] and [[Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] Delta Regiment. The population was expected to help the invading [[AFFS]] forces, but the eased restrictions allowed by Theodore Kurita soured the population against the AFFS units. The citizens basically made everything for an AFFS soldier difficult, from using a nearly incomprehensible local dialect when talking to shop owners shortchanging soldiers or providing poor customer service.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 39</ref> In July the [[Second Benjamin Regulars]] arrived to take the system back. They landed on the world and moved the AFFS troops more than 200 km away from Triumph, the planet's capital city. Once the AFFS was out of position, the [[Forty-first Dieron Regulars]] landed around Triumph and in five hours had captured the AFFS [[DropShip]]s and logistical system. The Hussars turned and engaged in a series of close range battles with the Dieron Regulars while the Vegan Rangers used a series of hit and run attacks against the Benjamin Regulars. This prevented the DCMS troops from joining forces, but the AFFS troops (particularly the Hussars) also had to deal with a large number of insurgents who would hit them and fade away into the population. Eventually it was too much, and the AFFS troops withdrew.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', pp. 86–88</ref> | + | During the [[War of 3039]] Telos IV was invaded by the [[22nd Avalon Hussars|Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]] and [[12th Vegan Rangers|Twelfth Vegan Rangers]] Delta Regiment.

Like many worlds, Telos IV was occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]], and would remain an occupied world until the beginning of [[Operation SCOUR]], the allied coalition invasion of the Word of Blake Protectorate. Telos IV was the first world to be targeted for liberation in the Draconis Combine wing of the operation, with troops landing on the 5th of February [[3077]].<ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> However, the liberation of Telos IV caused controversy in its' own right, as the allied coalition chose to garrison Telos IV and the nearby - and also recently liberated - world of [[Deneb Algedi]] with garrison forces from the [[Federated Suns]]. Where the [[DCMS]] had intended to deploy the [[Toguran Military Garrison]] and the [[New Samarkand Militia]] to garrison the worlds, these Combine forces were instead deployed to recently liberated worlds on the Free Worlds League front instead. These acts drew protests from ''[[Gunji-no-Kanrei]]'' [[Kiyomori Minamoto]] to [[General]] [[Belle Lee]] of the allied coalition.<ref name="JHS:Tp30">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 30: "Official Update"</ref> | Like many worlds, Telos IV was occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]], and would remain an occupied world until the beginning of [[Operation SCOUR]], the allied coalition invasion of the Word of Blake Protectorate.

Telos IV was home to a satellite branch of [[Luthien Armor Works]] which operated manufacturing or refining facilities on the continents of Dulles and Rostov, and internal memos obtained by a new agency on Luthien in April [[3077]] highlighted the damage the LAW interests on Telos IV had taken - and led to questions about the level of damage inflicted on the local industry by the Combine forces, not just the Blakists. The Pembrose facility on the continent of Rostov was the least damaged, and yet it was only capable of operating at 43% of its' original output. The Stanly & Sons facility on Dulles had been sabotaged, and the high-yield nuke used to sabotage the plant had effectively destroyed it; most damning was the damage done to the facility in Triumph due to damage by Blakist nukes and the liberal use of nukes by ''both'' sides in and around Triumph.<ref name="JHS:Tp30A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 30: "Status: Telos IV"</ref> | Telos IV was home to a satellite branch of [[Luthien Armor Works]] which operated manufacturing or refining facilities on the continents of Dulles and Rostov, and internal memos obtained by a new agency on Luthien in April [[3077]] highlighted the damage the LAW interests on Telos IV had taken - and led to questions about the level of damage inflicted on the local industry by the Combine forces, not just the Blakists.
