Owner History

Planetary History

Albiero is a nearly dead world whose natural resources are almost completely exhausted. Only the fact that the other worlds in the Albiero Prefecture are in even worse shape keeps this prefecture capital alive. Before it reached its current state, Albiero held vast deposits of copper and iron ore. These minerals led several mining concerns to arrive and exploit the resources. Unfortunately after the fall of the Star League the advanced mining machines weren't serviceable, and eventually broke down completely. The resulting loss of income depressed the local economy. The only group who really benefited from Albiero's state was the DCMS. The extensive mining operations left a labyrinth of tunnels under the world's surface which proved to be an excellent training facility.[1] Strangely, this depressed world mostly controlled by soldiers is the headquarters for Matabushi Incorporated.[17]

Clan Invasion

Albiero was invaded by Clan Smoke Jaguar in July 3050, one of the last worlds invaded during the Third Wave of Operation Revival. The battle between the 8th Albiero Militia and the 1st Jaguar Guards' Trinary Command, Trinary Striker and Alpha Elemental Star was particularly fierce, with the militia immediately attacking the invaders upon their landing and pushing them towards the Dartson Ridge. Backed up against the ridge line the militia's armoured battalion used artillery to trap the Clan forces. This lasted until Trinary Striker broke free in a fierce assault and eliminated the artillery units, allowing Trinary Command and the Elemental Star to disengage and locate the Eight's supply depots. Here they laid in wait for the militia to come and resupply, and when the militia regiment's command company walked right into the trap they were annihilated, ending the battle. Only a few companies chose to continue fighting, escaping into the hills and launching periodic raids on the Smoke Jaguar garrison throughout the rest of the invasion.[18]

During the Clan Invasion, Matabushi Incorporated moved its headquarters to Pesht. Since that time the world has served as a prefecture capital and training facility, but no other real improvement has been made. Corant City eventually became the planetary capital in 3079.[2]

Operation Bulldog

Albiero was invaded in the fourth wave of Operation Bulldog by the Second Dieron Regulars, Warrior House Daidachi, First Wolf Strike Cluster, and the Crater Cobras. The defending Eleventh Jaguar Regulars were heavily outnumbered and decided to fight to the last man, and eventually lost the planet.[19]
