Dyev's initial colonists were Russian and Slavic miners who hoped to take advantage of the vast mineral and metal ore content on the world. The downside to this was the dearth of fresh water on the world, which made farming difficult. For the first few centuries, Dyev relied on iceships to bring in water. In the middle of the [[twenty-fifth century]] miners following a vein of ore broke through into a large underground sea of fresh water. With this new source of water available, Dyev stopped the iceship deliveries.<ref name=DARWp11/> By the end of the [[Reunification War]] Dyev had become one of the worlds within the [[Lone Star Province]] of the Terran Hegemony.<ref name="H:RWp159"/> | Dyev's initial colonists were Russian and Slavic miners who hoped to take advantage of the vast mineral and metal ore content on the world.

During the [[Amaris Civil War]] the Rim Worlds forces poisoned approximately 30% of the available water on Dyev in an attempt to break opposition to their rule. Until the world was liberated by [[SLDF]] forces, the Republican troops kept poisoning the water supply. After the fall of the [[Star League]] the world was taken by the Draconis Combine. The Combine devoted more effort to rebuilding the mining operations than purifying the water, so - a few centuries after the last iceship had left Dyev - iceship deliveries resumed. The Combine, and later the Lyran Commonwealth, would continue these shipments throughout the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name=DARWp11/> | During the [[Amaris Civil War]] the Rim Worlds forces poisoned approximately 30% of the available water on Dyev in an attempt to break opposition to their rule.

HOLDUR was risky, but Sphire hoped that by launching quick and forceful attacks using the [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s available to him, the DCMS would be left with too little time to make further counterattacks.

For the Archon, destroying DCMS 'Mech forces was as significant a goal as capturing territory;<ref name="FSWMAv2p73"/> as a result, the [[Seventeenth Donegal Guards]] [[RCT]] was deployed to destroy the [[Twenty-second Dieron Regulars]] on Dyev.
