Originally a world within the Outworlds Alliance, Bad News was occupied by forces from the [[Star League]] in November [[2572]] under the terms of [[Directive 21]].<ref name="H:RWp108"/> Originally, these forces consisted of a battalion of infantry and a battalion of [[BattleMech|BattleMechs]] drawn from [[VI Corps (Star League)|VI Corps]] on a rotating basis, with different battalions assigned each year. When [[General]] [[Amos Forlough]] was put in command of the forces that would be used to conduct [[Operation UNION HOLD]], the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, he increased the garrison on Bad News by adding another infantry battalion and reducing the rotation time for garrison forces to once every two years<ref name="H:RWp110"/>

By early to mid [[2581]], preparations for an invasion of the Alliance had reached the point where [[Star League Defense Force]] troops were actively being marshalled on the border, and two full [[division]]s of Star League troops from [[V Corps (Star League)|V Corps]], the [[13th Royal Mechanized Infantry Division|Thirteenth Royal Division]] and the Fourteenth Division, were deployed onto Bad News. Aided by the local knowledge gained by the garrison forces from VI Corps, the V Corps divisions rapidly disarmed the local militia and the Star League assumed actual control of Bad News.<ref name="H:RWp110"/>

Bad News remained quiet during the first year of the war, but in [[2582]] the redeployment of Star League forces led to the auxiliary [[Draconis Combine]] forces which were supporting the [[SLDF]] task force taking over responsibility for Bad News from the Star League forces. In [[2583]], the Bad News [[DCMS]] garrison force was the [[Third Dieron Regulars]], who were designated as the reserve force for those Combine forces deployed to invade the nearby worlds of [[Nexus Ri]], [[Kazanka]] and [[Zlatousi]].<ref name="H:RWp121"/>
