Planetary History

Discovery and Settlement

In August 24th, 2786 the Exodus Fleet of the SLDF led by General Aleksandr Kerensky discovered Dagda and the rest of the star systems that makes up what they would call the Pentagon Worlds. Dagda was first settled on the 17th of September by the first of the weary passengers and soldiers of the SLDF.[10] Dagda was the fourth world of the Pentagon to be settled, it was named by settlers for the Irish pantheon of luck. The planet, due to rich mineral resources, became the principal mining world for what became the Star League-In-Exile. The Exile settlers used high-tech life support equipment to exploit the uplands where the atmosphere of the planet was very thin.

Pentagon/Exodus Civil War and Devastation

The Exodus Civil War in 2801, the war devastated the population, especially those who depended on the sophisticated life support systems.[11]

Operation Klondike

The 4 Clans assigned to liberate Dagda during Operation Klondike were Clan Burrock, Clan Fire Mandrill, Clan Goliath Scorpion, and Clan Widowmaker.
