By the early Succession Wars, the local concerns would end up pressuring the Draconis Combine's government to station a company of BattleMechs and an infantry regiment of troops on planet. However the frequency of the raids by now hated [[House Davion]] forces and lack of reinforcements over the years, led the government to a brief declare independence in early [[2802]].  Athenry being a vital source of water during the Succession Wars, caused the Combine to dispatch the [[Fourth Sword of Light]] to the planet to end the rebellion. The planetary government was forced to commit to a ''seppuku'' ceremony, to redeem their honor lost in their betrayal to the Draconis Combine.  By the last decade of the [[thirtieth century]], Athenry's germanium ore deposits would end up being mined out and its importance interstellar-wise would decline only having singular raid by [[Federated Suns]] for the valuable ore in [[2999]].<ref name=TROVARp104>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 104: "Dawn Treader Cargo Airship"</ref>

In [[3039]], Athenry was a world covered in oceans, with many archipelagos. During the [[War of 3039]] two regiments of the [[Blue Star Irregulars]] landed on the world. The garrison units surrendered quickly and the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] appointed a military governor. The Blue Star Irregulars then began to build a rapport with the local citizens by not acting like the stereotypical mercenary unit depicted by the [[Voice of the Dragon]].<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 34</ref> The [[DCMS]] counterattack landed several months later, and consisted of the [[Twelfth Dieron Regulars]] and [[Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars]]. The DCMS units had a rough landing, with the Irregulars' aerospace assets heavily damaging two DropShips and forcing an ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]''-class DropShip to ditch in the Hoboken Sea.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 79</ref> The DCMS units were equipped with submarine and hydrofoils, and used these speedy assets to strike at Irregulars bases across the planet. The Irregulars were eventually pushed back into a small area of the world, and the Regulars began a siege. This siege lasted for three months, but the Irregulars couldn't remain in place without inflicting heavy civilian casualties. To avoid this, the Irregulars arranged a truce with the Dieron Regulars and left the world to the Dragon.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 80</ref>

By [[3050]], Athenry's government had devised a new means to bring revenue to its depleted coffers. A number of its fleet of airships were converted into luxury tourist air cruise liners. These ships would draw tourists to Athenry throughout the [[Dieron Prefecture]] to less expensive vacation cruises, helping to bolster the planet's sagging industries.<ref name=TROVARp104/>
