The [[68th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-eighth Striker Cluster]] was tasked with conquering the planet, then defended by the Honor Guard, a garrison force of five [[BattleMech]] [[companies]] and two [[regiments]] of [[Combat Vehicle|armor]]. With major confrontations taking place at Cedar Groves and Harmond Hills, the defenders used every trick in the book to defeat the Clan invaders in this savage battle, including poisoning the general water supply on the assumption the Ghost Bears did not have their own reserves. [[Star Colonel]] [[Chou Vong]] labeled the Honor Guard ''[[dezgra]]'' after this incident and used it as an excuse to call down his entire Cluster to finish the battle quickly. However the Honor Guard's use of guerrilla tactics denied this swift victory as both sides resorted to ambushes and other devious tactics.

After the Freedom Proclamation was issued in March [[3034]] followed by the death of [[Ivan Sorenson]], the Svelvik militia loaded everything it could carry into its dropships and made its way to Constance.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 108-109, "Svelvik"</ref> ====Operation REVIVAL==== In April [[3050]] Constance was attacked by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] during the First Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. The [[68th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|68th Striker Cluster]] was tasked with conquering the planet, then defended by the Honor Guard, a garrison force of five [[BattleMech]] [[Company|companies]] and two [[regiment]]s of [[Combat Vehicle|armor]]. With major confrontations taking place at Cedar Groves and Harmond Hills, the defenders used every trick in the book to defeat the Clan invaders in this savage battle, including poisoning the general water supply on the assumption the Ghost Bears did not have their own reserves. [[Star Colonel]] [[Chou Vong]] labeled the Honor Guard ''[[dezgra]]'' after this incident and used it as an excuse to call down his entire Cluster to finish the battle quickly. However the Honor Guard's use of guerrilla tactics denied this swift victory as both sides resorted to ambushes and other devious tactics. The Honor Guard's elite armor regiments were finally hunted down over the course of five days of attrition fighting.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 31</ref> ====First Combine-Dominion War==== During the [[First Combine-Dominion War]] (October [[3062]]-December [[3063]]), the Ghost Bears [[5th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Bear Regulars]] attacked the [[Richmond]] system which left their base world of Constance mostly unguarded. Elements of the [[Second Sword of Light]] then launched an attack that seized Constance for the Combine. This forced the Fifth Bear Regulars to abandon their gains in Richmond to reclaim Constance for the Ghost Bear Dominion. While the Second Sword of Light's attack achieved their objective of pulling forces away from the front, the Second suffered heavy losses in that resulting fighting.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates (3067)'', p. 61, "Xi Galaxy"</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates (3067)'', p. 111, "2nd Sword of Light (The Steel Dragon)"</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates (3067)'', p. 113, "2nd An Ting Legion (The Light of Enlightenment)"</ref> ====The Jihad==== In March [[3076]] Constance was the second of four Ghost Bear Dominion worlds to be raided by [[Clan Ice Hellion]] stragglers after the failed Ice Hellion invasion of the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Occupation Zone several years before.<ref name="JHS:Tp21">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 21, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp55">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 55, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> ====Dark Age==== Constance was the site of the Vacaville Slaughter in November [[3120]] when a group of rebels seized the capital and a [[Trinary]] from the [[56th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear)|56th PGC]] was dispatched to crush the revolt. This was accomplished when a [[Vulture Mk III|Vulture]] [[Nova (Formation)|Nova]], pursuing the rebels into the Vacaville subdivision, finally resorted to bombarding the entire town. The majority of the civilian population was killed; only afterwards were the rebels found to have committed mass suicide beforehand.<ref name="TR;3150p160">''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 160, "Vulture III"</ref> ===Military Deployment=== ====2764==== * [[38th Mechanized Infantry Division]]<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 256, "SLDF - Draconis Combine Military Command Map"</ref> ====3050==== * [[The Honor Guard]]<ref name=IC31>''Invading Clans'', p. 31</ref><ref name=TBoBp3>''The Bonds of Battle'', p. 3</ref> ====3054==== * [[297th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|297th Battle Cluster]]<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 33, "Rho Galaxy (F)"</ref> ====3061==== * [[5th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Bear Regulars]]<ref name=FMWC164>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164, "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> ====3067==== * [[5th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifth Bear Regulars]]<ref>''Field Manual: Updates (3067)'', p. 78, "Xi Galaxy"</ref> ====3079==== * [[29th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear)|29th Provisional Garrison Cluster]]<ref>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 11, "Pi Galaxy"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Geography=== --> ===Planetary Locations=== * Ash River: River that runs near Harmond Hills<ref>''Rules of Engagement'', short story</ref> * Ash River Valley: Terrain surrounding the Ash River<ref>''Rules of Engagement'', short story</ref><ref name=TBoBp3/> * Cedar Groves: Site of a Battle from [[Operation REVIVAL]]<ref name=IC31>''Invading Clans'', p. 31</ref> * Harmond Hills: Site of a Battle from [[Operation REVIVAL]]<ref name=IC31>''Invading Clans'', p. 31</ref> * Ruins of SLDF CON-03, Forward Base Raphael: where Clan Ghost Bear met the Combine defenders in their initial invasion<ref>''Rules of Engagement'', short story</ref> * Vacaville: A suburb in the planetary capital, site of the Vacaville Slaughter<ref name="TR;3150p160"/> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Industrial Centers=== ===Image gallery=== --> ==Map Gallery== <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> ==Nearby Systems== <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Closest 24 systems (21 within 60 light-years)<br>Distance in light years, closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Jarett]] | class="lessthan30" | 14.1 | class="lessthan30" | [[Glabach]] | class="lessthan30" | 16.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Idlewind]] | class="lessthan30" | 23.5 | class="lessthan30" | [[Thule]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.0 |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Pinnacle]] | class="lessthan30" | 28.2 | class="over30" | [[Kiruna]] | class="over30" | 30.9 | class="over30" | [[Ferranil]] | class="over30" | 35.4 | class="over30" | [[Trondheim (FRR)|Trondheim]] | class="over30" | 36.3 |- | class="over30" | [[Richmond]] | class="over30" | 40.5 | class="over30" | [[Damian]] | class="over30" | 40.6 | class="over30" | [[Holmsbu]] | class="over30" | 44.3 | class="over30" | [[Last Frontier]] | class="over30" | 45.6 |- | class="over30" | [[Nykvarn]] | class="over30" | 46.6 | class="over30" | [[Porthos]] | class="over30" | 47.9 | class="over30" | [[New Ceylon]] | class="over30" | 48.5 | class="over30" | [[Susquehanna]] | class="over30" | 48.6 |- | class="over30" | [[Rockland]] | class="over30" | 50.8 | class="over30" | [[Garstedt]] | class="over30" | 53.8 | class="over30" | [[Polcenigo]] | class="over30" | 55.0 | class="over30" | [[Santander]] | class="over30" | 56.6 |- | class="over30" | [[Turtle Bay]] | class="over30" | 59.8 | class="over60" | [[Jezersko]] | class="over60" | 60.4 | class="over60" | [[Tovetin]] | class="over60" | 63.1 | class="over60" | [[Skallevoll]] | class="over60" | 63.1 |- |} ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'' * ''[[Field Report: DCMS]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Clans]]'' * ''[[Handbook: House Kurita]]'' * ''[[Historical: Brush Wars]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Shattered Fortress]]'' * ''[[The Bonds of Battle]]'' (short story) [[Category:Systems|Constance]] [[Category:Planets|Constance]] [[Category: Clan Ghost Bear Systems]] [[Category: Draconis Combine Systems]] [[Category: Ghost Bear Dominion Systems]] [[Category: Rasalhague Dominion Systems]]
