Planetary Info
Terra Firma has long enjoyed a symbiotic relationship with neighboring Capolla. Covered in huge forests and possessing abundant mineral resources, Terra Firma formed several trade agreements with its neighboring world. The two planets worked so well together that for many years they didn't need to have a military industry. The success of the two worlds allowed them to get additional independence from their Terran Hegemony overseers, who understood that they'd be better served by just leaving the two worlds alone to be the production powerhouses they were. This policy of non-interference would be honored by every other power that claimed control of the worlds throughout the Succession Wars.[1]
After the chaos of Operation Guerrero Terra Firma was heavily damaged by fighting on the world. Terra Firma and Capolla formed the Terracap Confederation, and this started Terra Firma on the road to recovery, but what really gave Terra Firma new life was the Word of Blake's investment in infrastructure and other aid programs. In exchange for the right to place military bases and "defensive troops" on Terra Firma, the Blakists sent technical advisers and civil engineers to the world. By honoring the Terracap Confederation's independence and pledging their troops to defend both worlds, the Blakists were able to gain the support of the Terra Firmans.[1]
The Blakists used this to their advantage; planting Word of Blake sympathizers in the local government allowed the Word to take over the world without a shot being fired, and by the 1st of August 3068 the Word had full control of the government on Terra Firma.[10] In fact most of the Terra Firmans didn't realize that they were being bombarded by xenophobic propaganda until after they agreed to serve in the Word of Blake Militia. With the horrors of the Jihad swirling around them however, the Terra Firmers resisted the Word of Blake forces on their homeworld. Eventually they were able to drive the Blakists away with the assistance of the Coalition.[1] The cost of liberating Terra Firma was high, though; the battle for the world stretched between the 9th and 17th of February 3078, but the booby traps set in place by the defending Blakist forces left most of Terra Firma's capital in ruins.[12]
