−	During the tumultuous period of the [[Fourth Succession War]] , Buckminster VI emerged as first wave objective in the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]]' strategic blueprint for [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]]. Selected for the initial assault due to its status as a prefecture capital, the planet stood as a linchpin in the Draconis Combine's bureaucratic network. The capture of Buckminster, with its invaluable archives and influential political leaders, was foreseen to usher in prolonged turmoil within the prefecture.
−	Protecting Buckminster VI was the elite Second Sword of Light BattleMech regiment commanded by ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Goshi Tengwan]], with twenty-two of the best infantry and tank regiments in the DCMS, alongside a large and well respected planetary militia.	+	During the late Succession War Era, circa [[3005]], the planet had become the capital world of its own Prefecture.<ref name=HKDCp184>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 184: "Buckminster"</ref> The presence of so many BattleMechs started to affect the planet's crops and finally angered the people of Buckminster. Since then many overt and covert antigovernment groups have formed, giving the numerous [[ISF]] agents on the planet plenty to do.<ref name=HKDCp184/>
−	The LCAF assigned the task of taking the world to the elite [[Third Royal Guards]] [[Regimental Combat Team]] (RCT), consisting of thirty-nine regiments.  The force was dispatched under the command of [[Lieutenant General]] [[Roman Steiner]], a veteran general and a trusted ally of the Archon.<ref name=4SWv1p52>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 52: "Buckminster"</ref>	+	==== Fourth Succession War ====
		+	During the [[Fourth Succession War]] in October [[3028]], this planet was targeted by Lyran forces lead by [[General]] [[Roman Steiner]]. The Draconis Combine's defenders consisted of General Goshi Tengwan, commanding the [[2nd Sword of Light]] BattleMech regiment and other planet militias. The invasion force large aerospace formations pushed back Buckminster's aerospace forces landing the [[Third Royal Guards]] and other supporting regiments on Sanjusendo's lightly defended southern coastline in two prong campaign towards the planetary capital to the northeast.
−	Their main target would be the capture of Buckminster City, capital of the planet and the prefecture, on the continent of Sanjusendo. The DCMS concentrated almost their entire force on the continent, especially in bases and cantonments around Buckminster City.	+	Lyran forces marched from Coloa coast long the coastline to attack the city of Pontiac, where a concentration of a company of the 2nd Sword Light's Heavy 'Mechs were stationed along with three tank regiments, three infantry regiments, and artillery battalion. General Steiner would instruct his RCT to surround the city try invade it. Initially, Steiner forces would be held off from due to the Kurita Artillery battalion effective accuracy. It would take the Royal Guards' aerospace forces to silent the guns to allow them take city.  The Lyran ground forces would pass through the Greerson Mountains. Kurita forces had put a stiff defenses against the Lyrans, thus calling down special squadron of artillery armed DropShips, which used to subdue the forces defending the passes.  The appearance of the mobile artillery flying behind enemy lines proved to be demoralizing. The DropShips' bombardment would cause Kurita forces to retreat in disarray.  The Kuritan surviving elements of the Battle of the Passes would manage to return to Buckminster City where, they would awaited the [[6th Arkab Legion]] to arrive to reinforce them. Six weeks would pass, during this time the Legion would make its landings to the north of the fighting, where they attempt to confront the Third Royal RCT. Royal Guards would receive their own reinforcements in form of the [[20th Arcturan Guards]], together they would engage in six week campaign trying prevent the Legion to link up with the 2nd Sword of Light. General Steiner utilized his DropShip squadron to stage artillery attacks from various locations, devastating the Legion. By December the Lyrans laid siege to the 2nd Swords held up in Buckminster City.<ref>NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1, pp. 52–55: "Battle of Buckminster - Actions taken during the early stages campaign of Fourth Succession War invasion of Planet"</ref>
−	October [[3028]], the LCAF invasion force jumped into Buckminster. Three DCMS DropShips loaded with aerospace fighters rose to meet the LCAF flotilla as they Approached Buckminster VI. The LCAF had assigned unusually large aerospace contingent to the Drop force, which brushed aside the Kuritan formations.	+	After four months, the Guards by this time were engaged with the Legion to contain them to the north.  However, they received orders from General Steiner for them to head south to link with bulk of the Lyran forces in effort to take the capital in May [[3029]].  By June, Lyran forces would charge into the city attempting to take it. However, city's defenders had built up its defenses for such an attack. The 2nd Sword of Light and its supporting elements would conduct surprise attacks on them as they entered the city. While this occurred, the 6th Arkab Legion took advantage of the Steiner invasion of the city to break out from the north, punching through the Lyrans' light screening force. This would ultimately break the Lyran siege of the capital and together with the 2nd Sword, forcing the Steiner forces withdraw from the planet once it became clear they wouldn't be able take the city.<ref>NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2, pp. 72–73: "3029 actions during the invasion of Buckminster"</ref>
−	General Steiner chose the lightly defended Lexham island as his Drop Zone, securing it quickly and establishing a workable landing zone. This has been criticised as it placed 3000Km, a difficult amphibious landing, and two mountain ranges between his supply base and the main objective of Buckminster City. General Steiner had however come prepared. Some of the first forces unloaded after securing the Landing zones were the [[First Provisional Lyran Water Navy]] (PLWN), consisting mainly of hydrofoils and Monitor gunboats. These were to be used to seize the channel between the Island and the mainland of Sanjusendo, and support the beach landings.	+	=== The Jihad ===
		+	The [[Word of Blake]] launched an assault on Buckminster during the second week of October [[3069]]; the Blakist ground troops were backed up by a fleet of [[Pocket WarShip]]s and during the course of their assault shattered several cities on the planet in addition to the defending [[Seventh Amphigean Light Assault Group]].<ref name="J:FRp47">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 47: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Buckminster was then attacked for a second time by the Word of Blake; the second attack lasted from the 24th to the 30th of April [[3070]], and was successfully stopped by the defending [[Delta Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Delta Regiment]] of [[Wolf's Dragoons]], although the fierce defense of Buckminster cost the Dragoons greatly.<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
−	Two Amphibious operations were launched, supported by the PLWN: One against the Coloa Peninsular to the west, supported by Third Royal Guards battlemechs walking along a shallow underwater ridge joining the two landmasses, and one against Yeloff peninsular to the east, mainly lead by [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and infantry transported by hydrofoil. ''Tai-sho'' Goshi Tengwan, chose to offer little resistance to these beach landings. He feared the landing at Lexham was a feint, that the real landings were still to come. thus only a token force was despatched to resist the landing operations.	+	During the [[Jihad]] the Second Sword of Light turned against the Dragon. This disgraceful action increased the [[ISF]] presence on Buckminster as the world served as the headquarters of the Second. As of [[3079]] every level of government and corporate board was being observed and investigated by the Internal Security Force.<ref name=O:DCp24/>
−	The Yeloff peninsular beach landings faced resistance in the form of DCMS armor and mechanised infantry regiments dispatched from Pontiac city, where the The Coloa Peninsular operation, was carried out with little to no opposition. The Battlemechs raced up the coast to link up with, and break out of the Yeloff Beachhead.	+	== Political Affiliation ==

This had a bad effect on the local economy. These changes to the world took place in a scant two decades, and the population spawned several covert and overt antigovernment groups as a result of the damage inflicted on their world.<ref name=HKp184/> During the late Succession War Era, circa [[3005]], the planet had become the capital world of its own Prefecture.<ref name=HKDCp184>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 184: "Buckminster"</ref> The presence of so many BattleMechs started to affect the planet's crops and finally angered the people of Buckminster. Since then many overt and covert antigovernment groups have formed, giving the numerous [[ISF]] agents on the planet plenty to do.<ref name=HKDCp184/> ==== Fourth Succession War ==== During the [[Fourth Succession War]] in October [[3028]], this planet was targeted by Lyran forces lead by [[General]] [[Roman Steiner]]. The Draconis Combine's defenders consisted of General Goshi Tengwan, commanding the [[2nd Sword of Light]] BattleMech regiment and other planet militias. The invasion force large aerospace formations pushed back Buckminster's aerospace forces landing the [[Third Royal Guards]] and other supporting regiments on Sanjusendo's lightly defended southern coastline in two prong campaign towards the planetary capital to the northeast. Lyran forces marched from Coloa coast long the coastline to attack the city of Pontiac, where a concentration of a company of the 2nd Sword Light's Heavy 'Mechs were stationed along with three tank regiments, three infantry regiments, and artillery battalion. General Steiner would instruct his RCT to surround the city try invade it. Initially, Steiner forces would be held off from due to the Kurita Artillery battalion effective accuracy. It would take the Royal Guards' aerospace forces to silent the guns to allow them take city. The Lyran ground forces would pass through the Greerson Mountains. Kurita forces had put a stiff defenses against the Lyrans, thus calling down special squadron of artillery armed DropShips, which used to subdue the forces defending the passes. The appearance of the mobile artillery flying behind enemy lines proved to be demoralizing. The DropShips' bombardment would cause Kurita forces to retreat in disarray. The Kuritan surviving elements of the Battle of the Passes would manage to return to Buckminster City where, they would awaited the [[6th Arkab Legion]] to arrive to reinforce them. Six weeks would pass, during this time the Legion would make its landings to the north of the fighting, where they attempt to confront the Third Royal RCT. Royal Guards would receive their own reinforcements in form of the [[20th Arcturan Guards]], together they would engage in six week campaign trying prevent the Legion to link up with the 2nd Sword of Light. General Steiner utilized his DropShip squadron to stage artillery attacks from various locations, devastating the Legion. By December the Lyrans laid siege to the 2nd Swords held up in Buckminster City.<ref>NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1, pp. 52–55: "Battle of Buckminster - Actions taken during the early stages campaign of Fourth Succession War invasion of Planet"</ref> After four months, the Guards by this time were engaged with the Legion to contain them to the north. However, they received orders from General Steiner for them to head south to link with bulk of the Lyran forces in effort to take the capital in May [[3029]]. By June, Lyran forces would charge into the city attempting to take it. However, city's defenders had built up its defenses for such an attack. The 2nd Sword of Light and its supporting elements would conduct surprise attacks on them as they entered the city. While this occurred, the 6th Arkab Legion took advantage of the Steiner invasion of the city to break out from the north, punching through the Lyrans' light screening force.
