Editing Dieron Military District

The '''Dieron Military District''' is one of the five military districts in the [[Draconis Combine]]. It is the military district closest to [[Terra]], and has borders with both the [[Federated Suns]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]].

There are fewer people of Japanese descent in Dieron than in any other District (even the [[Rasalhague Military District]]).

==History==
===Clan Invasion===
The [[Clan Invasion]], though not directly impacting the District, did lead to a staggering reduction in military forces stationed there, as the [[Federated Commonwealth]] was no longer the primary threat to the [[Draconis Combine]]. At the start of [[3050]], twenty-four BattleMech regiments were based in the district, nearly a quarter of the Dragon's total strength.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 40</ref> By [[3054]] when the situation had stabilized, only three regiments remained.<ref name=OR25>''Objective Raids'', p. 25: "DCMS Deployment Table [3054]"</ref>

===Jihad===
The [[Word of Blake]] struck many systems in the Dieron Military District. To increase the difficulties, the Black Dragon Society also caused a great deal of trouble during the [[Jihad]]. In addition, the [[Azami]] worlds are located in the Dieron district, and tensions between the Arkabs and the Dragon have increased everyone's stress level.<ref>''Objectives: Draconis Combine'', p. 33</ref>

The Blakists were particularly successful in this district, taking control of all but twenty-seven systems.<ref>''Objectives: Draconis Combine'', p. 44</ref>

===Post-Jihad===
As part of the creation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], a number of worlds from the former Dieron Military District were ceded. Dieron itself was integrated into [[Prefecture X]].<ref>''Daughter of the Dragon'', preface map</ref> The few systems that remained under control of the Dragon were folded into the [[Benjamin Military District]] and the Dieron Military District ceased to exist.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 35</ref>

===Dark Age===
When the Draconis Combine invaded the Republic of the Sphere in [[3135]], the Dieron Military District was reestablished.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 185</ref> In [[3145]], it had four prefectures.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 38</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 56</ref>
