−	Caldrea was a target of the Lyran Commonwealth offensive known as the [[Long March Offensive|Long March]], the most ambitious military campaign the Commonwealth had launched up to that point in time. The campaign began in [[2463]] and was initially successful, misdirecting the [[DCMS]] into believing the target of the offensive was [[St. John]] and allowing the Lyrans to capture a number of border worlds as well as the worlds of [[Skondia]] and [[Nox]], partly through their use of [[BattleMech]]s, a technology the Draconis Combine had yet to field.<ref name="HS(TLC)p22">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 22: "Long March, Hard March"</ref>	+	Caldrea was a target of the Lyran Commonwealth offensive known as the [[Long March Offensive|Long March]], the most ambitious military campaign the Commonwealth had launched up to that point in time.

	By the time the Lyran forces assaulted Caldrea, the Lyran military had been on the offensive for four years, and despite the constant rotation of tired troops out and reinforcements in, fatigue on both the military personnel and their equipment was taking a serious toll. Caldrea was fiercely defended by the DCMS forces; the discovery that the northern continent of Caldrea was a rugged mountainous maze riddled with traps and prepared defenses was too much for the Lyrans, who resorted to breaching the [[Ares Conventions]] by using nuclear weapons to clear the mountains. This left Caldrea under Lyran control, but left the planet half-devastated and of little use to the Commonwealth.<ref name="HS(TLC)p22"/>		By the time the Lyran forces assaulted Caldrea, the Lyran military had been on the offensive for four years, and despite the constant rotation of tired troops out and reinforcements in, fatigue on both the military personnel and their equipment was taking a serious toll.

The campaign began in [[2463]] and was initially successful, misdirecting the [[DCMS]] into believing the target of the offensive was [[St. John]] and allowing the Lyrans to capture a number of border worlds as well as the worlds of [[Skondia]] and [[Nox]], partly through their use of [[BattleMech]]s, a technology the Draconis Combine had yet to field.<ref name="HS(TLC)p22">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 22, "Long March, Hard March"</ref> By the time the Lyran forces assaulted Caldrea, the Lyran military had been on the offensive for four years, and despite the constant rotation of tired troops out and reinforcements in, fatigue on both the military personnel and their equipment was taking a serious toll. Caldrea was fiercely defended by the DCMS forces; the discovery that the northern continent of Caldrea was a rugged mountainous maze riddled with traps and prepared defenses was too much for the Lyrans, who resorted to breaching the [[Ares Conventions]] by using nuclear weapons to clear the mountains. This left Caldrea under Lyran control, but left the planet half-devastated and of little use to the Commonwealth.<ref name="HS(TLC)p22"/> The Lyran campaign to capture Caldrea was detailed in books such as ''The Caldrea Debacle'', published by Mountain Press in [[2500]]; authored by [[Timothy Asd]], the book detailed actions such as the unsuccessful attack on The Cassino, the fortress that guarded the Kelli pass and which saw the Lyran [[23rd BattleMech Battalion (Lyran Commonwealth)|Twenty-Third BattleMech Battalion]] destroyed or heavily damaged and the battalion's CO, [[Colonel]] Yoller, killed in action, highlighting the reasons behind the decision to use nuclear weapons to complete the conquest of Caldrea.<ref name="HS(TLC)p23">''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 23, "Long March, Hard March"</ref> === First Succession War === Caldrea was captured by the Draconis Combine in [[2812]], using fast-moving BattleMech forces that were able to defeat the defending forces despite the defenders using nuclear weapons in an effort to try and resist the invasion.<ref name="FSWp74"/> === After the Fourth Succession War === The planet was attacked in [[3030]] by the [[Gray Death Legion]] in order to conquer the planet as it was expected to be used as a jump-point for the [[1st Lyran Guards]] for their assault on [[Narve]].
