−	{{div col|colwidth=25em}}	+	In [[2819]] the [[Draconis Combine]] began a heavy raiding campaign that targeted key Lyran worlds including Alexandria, as well as [[Kessel]] and [[Tamar]].<ref name="HB:HSp37">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 37, "Timeline: The Commonwealth and the First Succession War"</ref> This was far from the last time that Alexandria would be touched by the Succession Wars; in [[2913]] the Lyran Commonwealth launched [[Operation Freedom]] in two thrusts from Alexandria and [[Skye]],<ref name="HS(TLC)p71">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 71, "The Cost of Freedom"</ref> and in [[2953]] a two-year battle for the world began, with [[DCMS]] and [[LCAF]] forces locked in an escalating battle that would ultimately consume seven [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s and four times as many [[infantry]] and conventional armor regiments and go down in history as one of the largest battles of the [[Third Succession War]] and a sign of the increasing tenacity with which the Commonwealth fought.<ref name="HB:HSp49">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 49, "Operation Freedom"</ref> The campaign for Alexandria began with [[McGee's Cutthroats]] landing to loot and destroy supply bases on the planet in the face of the defending [[Twentieth Arcturan Guards]].<ref name="HKp84">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 84, "Decline and Fall"</ref> A wing of fighters from an orbital [[AeroSpace Fighter|fighter]] base promptly destroyed one of the Combine [[DropShip]]s after the Cutthroats had landed and drove the other DropShips back to their [[JumpShip]], prompting the Cutthroats to call for reinforcements. A few days later, two more [[BattleMech]] battalions with fighter support arrived by JumpShip to reinforce the Cutthroats, leading the Twentieth Arcturan Guards to call for reinforcements in turn and what had begun as a simple skirmish escalated rapidly from there.<ref name="HS(TLC)p74"/>
		+
		+	In late [[3020]] the Lyran Commonwealth launched what would become an extended campaign to recapture Alexandria from the Draconis Combine. The [[LCAF]] deployed a substantial force in the effort to liberate the planet, including several regiments of the [[Twelfth Star Guards]] leading a mercenary task force that consisted of a number of other units including [[Snord's Irregulars]]. Well-known for being treasure hunters, the Irregulars were keen to recover some of the Star League era artifacts and artworks rumoured to be hidden on Alexandria, but soon discovered that the majority of the artworks had already been destroyed. During a disappointing seven-month campaign the Irregulars only managed to identify a single cache containing statues, located close to their posting on the shore of Lake Meede at the time, but during the course of excavating the cache the Irregulars were ambushed by a contingent from the [[Rasalhague Regulars]]. The Regulars deliberately fired on and destroyed the cache, and would likely have destroyed the Irregulars or inflicted heavy damage on them, if not for the discovery that their ''[[Archer]]s'' had been supplied with defective ammunition.<ref name=CSI6>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 6</ref><ref name="CSIp24">''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', pp. 24-25 (Scenario "Up in Smoke")</ref>

		+	As the Third Succession War drew to a close in the 3020s Alexandria was serving as the capital of the Virginia Shire region of the Federation of Skye under Duke [[Edward James]].<ref name="HS(TLC)p92">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 92, "The Federation of Skye"</ref> A [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] named [[Mitchell Simmons]] from the [[17th Skye Rangers]] would subsequently be awarded the [[Honor of Skye]] for his actions in defending civilians against a Kuritan 'Mech lance during the 3024 battle for Alexandria.<ref name="HS(TLC)p126">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 126, "The Honor of Skye"</ref>
		+
		+	By the end of the Succession Wars the cultured elegance of Alexandria was largely a memory; a small number of cities such as the northern cities of Lam Pole and Cherboug<ref name=HS169/> on the Cairusia continent still hinted at the Alexandria of the Star League years, but the remainder of the planet showed Alexandria's legacy as one of the most war-ravaged worlds to survive into the thirty-first century. The modern planetary capital of Alexandretta, located on the southern continent of Jeddasia, was a collection of practical, utilitarian structures intermixed with bunkers and other defensive features to be used during times of emergency.<ref name=HBS88/>
		+
		+	===Clan Invasion===
		+	In late [[3059]], the planet suffered what was later known as the '''Briggs Armored Car robbery'''. A gang of criminals stole a shipment of gems even though the [[Knox Armored Car]] had been provided with an escort of a pair of ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMechs]] by the [[Alexandria Freedom Theater Militia]].

The cities of Alexandria were dotted with museums, theatres<ref name=HBS88/> and art collections<ref name=HS169/> that drew visitors from across the [[Inner Sphere]] and the world exuded a sense of elegance and grace that everyone could appreciate.<ref name=HBS88/> ===The Succession Wars=== In [[2819]] the [[Draconis Combine]] began a heavy raiding campaign that targeted key Lyran worlds including Alexandria, as well as [[Kessel]] and [[Tamar]].<ref name="HB:HSp37">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 37, "Timeline: The Commonwealth and the First Succession War"</ref> This was far from the last time that Alexandria would be touched by the Succession Wars; in [[2913]] the Lyran Commonwealth launched [[Operation Freedom]] in two thrusts from Alexandria and [[Skye]],<ref name="HS(TLC)p71">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 71, "The Cost of Freedom"</ref> and in [[2953]] a two-year battle for the world began, with [[DCMS]] and [[LCAF]] forces locked in an escalating battle that would ultimately consume seven [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s and four times as many [[infantry]] and conventional armor regiments and go down in history as one of the largest battles of the [[Third Succession War]] and a sign of the increasing tenacity with which the Commonwealth fought.<ref name="HB:HSp49">''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 49, "Operation Freedom"</ref> The campaign for Alexandria began with [[McGee's Cutthroats]] landing to loot and destroy supply bases on the planet in the face of the defending [[Twentieth Arcturan Guards]].<ref name="HKp84">''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 84, "Decline and Fall"</ref> A wing of fighters from an orbital [[AeroSpace Fighter|fighter]] base promptly destroyed one of the Combine [[DropShip]]s after the Cutthroats had landed and drove the other DropShips back to their [[JumpShip]], prompting the Cutthroats to call for reinforcements. A few days later, two more [[BattleMech]] battalions with fighter support arrived by JumpShip to reinforce the Cutthroats, leading the Twentieth Arcturan Guards to call for reinforcements in turn and what had begun as a simple skirmish escalated rapidly from there.<ref name="HS(TLC)p74"/> In late [[3020]] the Lyran Commonwealth launched what would become an extended campaign to recapture Alexandria from the Draconis Combine. The [[LCAF]] deployed a substantial force in the effort to liberate the planet, including several regiments of the [[Twelfth Star Guards]] leading a mercenary task force that consisted of a number of other units including [[Snord's Irregulars]]. Well-known for being treasure hunters, the Irregulars were keen to recover some of the Star League era artifacts and artworks rumoured to be hidden on Alexandria, but soon discovered that the majority of the artworks had already been destroyed. During a disappointing seven-month campaign the Irregulars only managed to identify a single cache containing statues, located close to their posting on the shore of Lake Meede at the time, but during the course of excavating the cache the Irregulars were ambushed by a contingent from the [[Rasalhague Regulars]]. The Regulars deliberately fired on and destroyed the cache, and would likely have destroyed the Irregulars or inflicted heavy damage on them, if not for the discovery that their ''[[Archer]]s'' had been supplied with defective ammunition.<ref name=CSI6>''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 6</ref><ref name="CSIp24">''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', pp. 24-25 (Scenario "Up in Smoke")</ref> As the Third Succession War drew to a close in the 3020s Alexandria was serving as the capital of the Virginia Shire region of the Federation of Skye under Duke [[Edward James]].<ref name="HS(TLC)p92">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 92, "The Federation of Skye"</ref> A [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] named [[Mitchell Simmons]] from the [[17th Skye Rangers]] would subsequently be awarded the [[Honor of Skye]] for his actions in defending civilians against a Kuritan 'Mech lance during the 3024 battle for Alexandria.<ref name="HS(TLC)p126">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth'', p. 126, "The Honor of Skye"</ref> By the end of the Succession Wars the cultured elegance of Alexandria was largely a memory; a small number of cities such as the northern cities of Lam Pole and Cherboug<ref name=HS169/> on the Cairusia continent still hinted at the Alexandria of the Star League years, but the remainder of the planet showed Alexandria's legacy as one of the most war-ravaged worlds to survive into the thirty-first century. The modern planetary capital of Alexandretta, located on the southern continent of Jeddasia, was a collection of practical, utilitarian structures intermixed with bunkers and other defensive features to be used during times of emergency.<ref name=HBS88/> ===Clan Invasion=== In late [[3059]], the planet suffered what was later known as the '''Briggs Armored Car robbery'''. A gang of criminals stole a shipment of gems even though the [[Knox Armored Car]] had been provided with an escort of a pair of ''[[Commando]]'' [[BattleMechs]] by the [[Alexandria Freedom Theater Militia]].
