Brief Planetary History
The Fourth Succession War
The planet was invaded in Draconis Combine's 14th Legion of Vega in 3029. This was part of the Combine's counter-assault named Operation Contagion during last year of the Fourth Succession War. At the time, the planet was lightly defended with only five militia infantry regiments and two battalions of militia BattleMechs. The 14th Legion landed on top of outpost name Fort Eagle, where the two infantry regiments defending the outpost fought bravely and were completely wiped out. The Legion inflict considerable amount of damage as they hopped city to city destroying any resistence to Combine rule. Five weeks into Legion's campaign, on planet LCAF acting commanding officer Colonel Mitch Freeman order his green untrained BattleMech battalions to confront Vegans. The First & Second Battalions of the Skondia Militia charged Legion, to Combine soldiers surprise. The surprise charge inflicted heavy damage two organzed companies of the Vegan's BattleMechs. However, once organized, the Vegans wiped out last resistence on Skondia within minutes.[3] The planet was conqueror and given control to Draconis Combine.
