== Planetary History ==
=== Early History ===
Wasat was notionally a client state of the Capellan Hegemony prior to the war between the Hegemony and the [[Sarna Supremacy]] in the early [[twenty-fourth century]], but in [[2306]] [[Prime Magnate]] [[Paula Aris]] of the Hegemony negotiated with the Free Worlds League to obtain military support for the war against the Supremacy in exchange for Capellan support for various League territorial campaigns. Much to the embarassment of Aris and the Hegemony, the military aid provided by the League turned out to be little more than newly-trained militia units, and the League also proceeded to occupy both Wasat and the nearby world of [[Berenson]] with the intention of reclaiming both.<ref name="HL(TCC)p16"/>

Within a few years, the newly-created Terran Hegemony negotiated the [[Treaty of Geneva]] with the Free Worlds League, an agreement which saw the Terran Hegemony's military attentions focused elsewhere, and which also saw [[Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] repeatedly side with Free Worlds League claims over those of the various Capellan states. One of the first of these acts was the confirmation of the Free Worlds League's possession of Wasat.<ref name="HL(TCC)p19"/>

===Amaris Civil War===
During the height of the [[Star League]] Wasat had develped into a thriving world with a large population with a significant industrial output and was a fairly major world within the Terran Hegemony. In common with other such worlds across the Hegemony, the [[Star League Defense Force]] had built several [[Castle Brian|Castles Brian]] across Wasat and there was still an SLDF garrison in place when [[Stefan Amaris]] launched his coup that began the [[Amaris Civil War]] on the 27th of December [[2766]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p84+"/>

Amaris had detailed a substantial force of [[Rim Worlds Republic]] force to subdue Wasat, but the initial attacks on the 27th of December failed, leaving the SLDF forces still in control of the bulk of the Castles Brian and determined to resist. The Republican forces resorted to the extensive use of weapons of mass destruction to prepare the way for their ground assaults, and as a result the civilian population of Wasat suffered greatly, as did the local infrastructure. The exact death toll incurred in the Republican campaign isn't known, but estimates place it anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands killed during the months it took the Republican forces to assume control of Wasat.<ref name="H:LoTV1p84+"/>

===Operation Guerrero===
Wasat was invaded in the Free Worlds League's first wave of [[Operation GUERRERO]] by the [[Thirteenth Marik Militia]], [[Fourth Oriente Hussars]] and [[Second Sirian Lancers]]. The defending [[Second Republican]] [[regiment]] lost control of the planet.<ref>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 74, "Operation Guerrero, First Wave"</ref>

===The Jihad===
The [[Blackhearts]] were stationed on Wasat during the opening stages of the [[Jihad]]. They faced the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[3rd Division (Word of Blake)|Third Militia Division]].{{cn}} 
On the 28th of January [[3071]] the Blackhearts were in retreat when the Word of Black forces detonated a nuclear device in the capital city - apparently as an act of spite - resulting in the deaths of 30,000 civilians.<ref name="JHS3076p12">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 12, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> 

Coalition forces invaded Wasat on the 10th of January [[3077]] as one of the first two worlds to be targeted during [[Operation SCOUR]].<ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Attacked initially by Group II of the Free Worlds League task force under the command of [[Duke]] [[Leonard Stewart]], the defenses on Wasat proved to be more robust and developed than originally expected. The [[7th Pesht Regulars]] sustained heavy damage<ref name="JHS:Tp44"/> and the [[Home Guard (Free Worlds League)|Home Guard]] was nearly wiped out<ref name="JHS:Tp44A">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 44, "Too Much To Handle?"</ref> during the initial attacks; as a result, the second in command of the Free Worlds League front, [[Khan]] [[Santin West]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] brought Group III to Wasat to assist Group II. Group III was spearheaded by [[Clan Nova Cat|Clan Nova Cat's]] [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Alpha Galaxy]] with [[ComStar|ComStar's]] [[4th Army (ComStar)|4th Army]] and the [[20th Marik Militia]] in support. The Blakists on Wasat were unable to coordinate an effective defense against the combined strength of both Group II and Group III, and by the 4th of March 3077 Khan West was giving an interview on the liberation of Wasat to [[Nigel Holmgren]] of [[INN]].<ref name="JHS:Tp44">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 44, "Wasat Falls?"</ref>
