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]].

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/>

===Geography===

== Planetary Rulers ==
The bulk of the landmass on Athenry lies in the four large island chains dotted among the vast oceans; each island chain has a number of active volcanoes, contributing to the oppressive atmosphere of the planet. Most of the island chains consist of steep, rocky mountains and tropical foliage; the planet is too warm and too close to the system primary for polar ice caps to form.<ref name=DARWp29/>

* Planetary Legate Taro Winters<ref name=DARWp26/>
  
The four island chains of Athenry are named the Espalar Chain, Larsen Chain, Wandessa Chain and Zubeckis Chain. The largest island in the Espalar Chain is Lisbon and the largest island in the Larsen Chain is Golas. Of the four island chains, the Wandessa Chain is located in the equatorial regions of Athenry, while the Zubeckis Chain in the southern hemisphere and the Espalar Chain lies in the southern polar regions. The Larsen Chain lies in the northern hemisphere.<ref name=DARWp29/>

 +
The bulk of the landmass on Athenry lies in the four large island chains dotted amongst the vast oceans; each island chain has a number of active volcanoes, contributing to the oppressive atmosphere of the planet. Most of the island chains consist of steep, rocky mountains and tropical foliage the planet is too warm and too close to the system primary for polar ice caps to form.<ref name=DARWp26/>
  
Athenry also was notable for its heavy seas and the high sulfur content of its waters.<ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', p. 94: "Dawn Treader Cargo Airship"</ref><ref name=TROVARp104/>
+
The four island chains of Athenry are named the Espalar Chain, Larsen Chain, Wandessa Chain and Zubeckis Chain. The largest island in the Espalar Chain is Lisbon and the largest island in the Larsen Chain is Golas. Of the four island chains the Wandessa Chain is located in the equitorial regions of Athenry, while the Zubeckis Chain in the southern hemisphere and the Espalar Chain lies in the southern polar regions. The Larsen Chain lies in the northern hemisphere.<ref name=DARWp26/>
