Planetary History
Kalidasa was apparently named in honor of the Great Poet Kalidasa.[11]
In late June 3070 the planetary government and military forces on Kalidasa switched their allegiance to the Word of Blake, bringing the world into the Word of Blake Protectorate; Kalidasa was one of six worlds to declare for the Blakists in the space of a week, pushing the Protectorate into Free Worlds League space.[9] An important industrial world, Kalidasa would be occupied by the Blakists until mid-July, when allied coalition forces spearheaded by forces from the Com Guard launched a combined assault on Kalidasa as a part of Operation SCOUR.[10] Kalidasa was liberated by elements from Group III of the Free Worlds League task force, lead by the Com Guard 4th Army on the 17th of July 3077, an event confirmed by the INN journalist Nigel Holmgren who presented a live broadcast from Kalidasa the next day. Holmgren had the opportunity to interview Commander Edith Byers, the "Kalidasa Ghost", leader of the resistance movement on Kalidasa. The initial 4th Army landings saw them on the receiving end of friendly fire from the Kalidasa resistance movement - a group named the Bard's Champions - as a result of what Byers referred to as confusion and judgement clouded by fear. Holmgren's report intimates that the resistance had already driven the Blakists from Kalidasa when the Group III forces arrived, and that the Group III forces were initially believed to be a Word of Blake task force returning to recapture Kalidasa.[11]

Notes
Jihad Hot Spots: Terra records Commander Edith Byers as stating that Kalidasa was named for the "Great Poet Kalidasa".[11] It seems likely that this refers to the 4th of 5th century Sanskrit poet Kālidāsa.[14]
