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>
 
  
====First Sucession War====
+
=== Fourth Succession War ===
After the Star League Exodus, the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] took full control of The Edge, which was a co-managed world with the [[Terran Hegemony]].<ref name="FSW(SB)p29">''First Succession War'', p. 29</ref> At some point in the first twenty years of the First Succession War (after 2788), the [[DCMS]] captured The Edge and [[Nox]] in small-scale military actions, driving off the [[Fourth Lyran Guards]].<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">''First Succession War'', p. 73</ref> By [[2821]], The Edge war garrisoned by a battalion of the [[Red Eagles]] Mercenary Combat Command,<ref name="FSW(SB)p137">''First Succession War'', p. 137</ref> who would continue to hold the world through the Second Succession War.<ref name="SSW(SB)p97">''Second Succession War'', p. 97</ref>
+
The Edge was one of the worlds invaded by the Lyran Commonwealth during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. 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'', p. 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>

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="FSWMAv2p68"/><ref name="NAIS4SWp44"/> 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"/>

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"/>

=== The Clan Invasion ===
In March [[3050]], The Edge was targeted by Clan Wolf forces as a part of [[Operation REVIVAL]] and invaded by [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova Command]], Supernova First, Alpha, and Bravo Fighter [[Star]]s of the [[16th Battle (Clan Wolf)|Sixteenth Battle Cluster]]. The defending mercenary unit, the [[Black Outlaws|Outlaws]], faced off against the Clan invaders on the Plains of Torneträsk in what the Outlaws intended to be a set-piece battle, but which instead turned into a rout that saw just two [[companies]] of Outlaw forces escape.<ref name="FM:MRp44"/><ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 57: "First Wave"</ref>

During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses launched an invasion of Clan Wolf holdings in the [[Inner Sphere]], acquiring holdings for their own relocation to Spheroid space. The first wave of attacks captured four worlds; the second wave captured another four, of which The Edge was one. The first wave was launched between 21 and 28 February [[3071]], with the second wave falling somewhere between the end of the first wave and the 7th of April.<ref name="JHS3076p15">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 15: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref>
