History
Clan Invasion
Antares planet was of minor strategic importance to the Federated Commonwealth so it was lightly defended, with only the militia batalion of the Antares Militia and a series of fortifications that the locals had contructed. Clan Jade Falcon's Star League records named Antares as a site of an SLDF replenishment and resupply base and so the Falcon Khans ordered the base to be taken at all costs. Gyrfalcon Galaxy landed on Antares with heavy aerospace support that destroyed the militia's fighters on the ground. Subsequent attack by land forces took Antares City despite the militia's valiant efforts.
But the town of Alba proved harder to take. Unknow to its inhabitants Alba was almost on top the old Star League base and also contained the plant's largest purification plant which made the Falcons initially reluctant to risk damaging the water purifiers using massive air strikes. This lead to land assaults which inflicted severe casualties, especially on the Second Falcon Jaegers. When Khan Crichell was informed that replacements for the purifying plants could be delivered from Clan Worlds in two months and a half, orders were given for a full and complete assault. Fighters bombed the town flat and won the day, The Militia survivors were stunned to watch Jade Falcons engineers unearth the huge Star League base beneath their town.[2]
