The Clan Invasion

In March 3050 The Edge was targeted by Clan Wolf forces as a part of Operation Revival. The defending mercenary unit, the Outlaws, found themselves facing elements of the 16th Battle Cluster 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.[1]

Jihad

During the Jihad, Clan Hell's Horses launched a invasion of the 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 the 21st and 28th of February 3071, with the second wave falling somewhere between the end of the first wave and the 7th of April.[14]
