| + | '''The Edge''' was perhaps the first world to be struck by the [[Third Hidden War]] when in [[2741]] a band of extremely well-equipped brigands raided the planet, stealing huge quantities of raw materials and killing hundreds of civilians. It would later be determined that the raiders had been funded by the Draconis Combine, information that would prompt direct confrontations within the [[Star League]] High Council and a dramatic escalation in "bandit" raids - active raiding by House forces from all of the various Great Houses operating without official acknowledgement.<ref name="H:LoTV1p20">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 20: "Decline, Revolution and Fall"</ref> During the 2760s the [[Second Lyran Guards]] were involved in fighting bandits on The Edge.<ref name="FR2765p12">''Field Report 2765: LCAF'', p. 12: "Lyran Guards"</ref> | ||

At some point in the first 20 years of the First Succession Wars (after 2788) The [DCMS] captured The Edge and [[Nox]] in small-scale military actions, driving off the [[Fourth Lyran Guard]] <ref name="FSW(SB)p139"></ref>. By 2800 the Lyran Commonwealth had lost a dozen worlds in the Tamar Pact Region including The Edge <ref name="FSW(SB)p73"></ref>.

The Edge was considered a significant target due to its economic or political importance, and was a target of the followup exploitation phase that followed the first wave of attacks. The exploitation phase was initiated following orders from [[Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] on the 21st of October 3028,<ref name="NAIS4SWp59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 59: "Follow-up Invasions"</ref> and The Edge was invaded by the [[Tenth Donegal Guards]].<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref><ref name="NAIS4SWp61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 61: "End of the Offensive"</ref> Having captured The Edge, the Tenth Donegal Guards suddenly found themselves under attack when the [[DCMS]] launched a counteroffensive in December 3028 and January 3029. The DCMS deployed the [[Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars]] to The Edge; while less experienced than the veterans of the Tenth Donegal Guards, the troops of the Twenty-fifth were fresh.<ref name="NAIS4SWp61"/> |
When the lull in major operations settled across the Lyran Commonwealth front in early [[3029]], [[Colonel]] [[George Donaldson]] found his Donegal Guards stalemated a few kilometers away from Bono, the planetary capital city. With Bono being both the capital city and the industrial heart of the planet the Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars had fought a stubborn campaign of resistance, leaving the Donegal Guards with secure positions south and east of the city on high ground, facing pits, trenches and large minefields that the Regulars continued to expand. Unable to push into the city without destroying it and unable to launch a flanking attack without giving up the high ground, Donaldson's forces resorted to daily artillery bombardments and waited.<ref name="FSWMAv2p68">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 68–69: "The Edge"</ref> | When the lull in major operations settled across the Lyran Commonwealth front in early [[3029]], [[Colonel]] [[George Donaldson]] found his Donegal Guards stalemated a few kilometers away from Bono, the planetary capital city.

| − | In May 3029 | + | In May 3029 reinforcements for the Tenth arrived, in the form of the [[First Lyran Regulars]]. Having conquered [[Harvest]] in the first wave of GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG, the First had moved to [[Verthandi]] during the exploitation phase and rested and rearmed for several months.<ref name="NAIS4SWp44"/><ref name="FSWMAv2p68"/> The First dropped northwest of Bono and began advancing on the city, quickly clashing with the planetary militia. The militia responded with booby traps and suicide charges that caused a breakdown in cooperation between the [[BattleMech]] and conventional elements of the First, but which were insufficient to stop the First from pushing forward through superior numbers. By mid-July, the First had reached the outskirts of Bono, giving the Tenth an opportunity to make their own attack. Coordinating their attacks, the two Lyran [[RCT]]s pressed forward, with the Tenth crossing the minefields as the First broke through the defensive fortifications ahead of them before moving into Bono's industrial park.<ref name="FSWMAv2p68"/> |
With a dominating victory in sight, the First Lyran Regulars 'Mech forces slipped, changing course to chase down a 'Mech company from the Twenty-fifth and leaving the [[2nd Vulcan Mechanized Infantry Regiment|Second Vulcan Mechanized Infantry Regiment]] exposed. The Twenty-fifth capitalized on that error, throwing forces at the Second Vulcan and using the opportunity to break for their [[DropShip]]s. Even as the Twenty-fifth abandoned The Edge, a botched recognition sign between the Lyran regiments on the ground led to a blue-on-blue incident that cost them a 'Mech and twenty dead infantry, but the Commonwealth had secured The Edge.<ref name="FSWMAv2p68"/> | With a dominating victory in sight, the First Lyran Regulars 'Mech forces slipped, changing course to chase down a 'Mech company from the Twenty-fifth and leaving the [[2nd Vulcan Mechanized Infantry Regiment|Second Vulcan Mechanized Infantry Regiment]] exposed.
