Planetary History

The Jihad

On the 23rd of May 3072 forces from the Calderon Protectorate raided a number of Taurian Concordat worlds, including Carvajal.[18][19] At some point after the Jihad[12] Carvajal transferred its allegience to the Calderon Protectorate.[20]

The Dark Age

Carvajal was struck by the pirate band known as the Dominars in 3117, who were raiding outwards from the Pirates Haven; the local militia on Carvajal fought for as long as they could, but were exterminated by the pirates. The Calderon Protectorate deployed their nearest available forces to strike at the pirates; those forces were the Green Machine mercenary unit, which arrived too late to save the local militia but proceeded to hunt down the pirates, who had seized Carvajal's capital city. The Green Machine used heavy Hound 'Mechs to endure the fire thrown at them by the pirates and pushed the Dominars out of the residential areas of the city and into the Plains of Ecstasy. The Green Machine then proceeded to target the engines and weapon systems of the Dominars' DropShips, losing numerous 'Mechs and pilots but crippling the enemy vessels and rendering the Dominars easy targets in the resulting chaos.[13]
