Loyal supporters of [[House Marik]], House Fletcher relocated to this Fletcher in dramatic fashion - along with their millions of followers - after the [[Duke]] of [[Oriente]] attacked their homeworld in [[2368]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> A [[Terran Hegemony]] world, Fletcher grew to be a major industrial world, with a number of defense manufacturers operating facilities on the planet including [[StarCorps Industries]], [[Flame Tech]],<ref name=FM:MRp18/> [[Caletra Fighters]] and [[Yelm Weapons]].<ref name="DARWp75"/> During the [[Age of War]] Fletcher became the burial site of [[Chancellor]] [[Aleisha Liao]], the Chancellor best remembered for authoring the [[Ares Conventions]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> The Hegemony insisted on Fletcher being Aleisha's final resting place in recognition of her contributions towards civilizing warfare,<ref name="DARWp75"/> and other Chancellors would later also choose Fletcher as their final resting place.<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/><ref name="DARWp75"/> For many years convention maintained that [[House Davion]] and [[House Marik]] refrained from launching attacks on Fletcher accordingly.<ref name="HL(TCC)p140"/> ====First Succession War==== Following the fall of the Terran Hegemony, Fletcher was occupied by the Capellan Confederation.<ref>''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 45: "First Succession War"</ref> The amount of force involved was apparently sufficient to convince the Hegemony militia forces garrisoning the world not to forcibly resist.<ref>''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 27: "Better the Devil You Know"</ref> Like many Hegemony worlds, the numerous conflicts over Fletcher during the [[First Succession War]] caused the destruction of much of the planet's industrial infrastructure.<ref name=FM:MRp18/><ref name="DARWp75"/> By the end of the First Succession War only the Flame Tech factories were still manufacturing, out of all the former defense facilities.<ref name="DARWp75"/> Fletcher became little more than a funeral world, albeit a self-sufficient one.<ref name="DARWp75"/> ====Third Succession War==== Fletcher was attacked by the Federated Suns a number of times during the [[Third Succession War]]. In [[2985]] Fletcher was under siege by the [[AFFS]]; defending Fletcher were several units including [[Kingston's Legionnaires]]<ref name="HL(TCC)p85"/> [[Lockhardt's Ironsides]]<ref name="HL(TCC)p99A">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 99: "Lockhardt's Ironsides"</ref> and the newly reconstituted [[St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers]].<ref name="HL(TCC)p99">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 99: "St. Cyr's Armored Grenadiers"</ref> The Legionnaires had the misfortune of tangling with the [[Forty-second Avalon Hussars]], losing a third of their strength in the opening battles and then, due to poor communications, failing to receive orders to fall back, that led to the Hussars destroying three-fifths of the Legionnaires before the mercenaries fell back.<ref name="HL(TCC)p85">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 85: "Kingston's Legionnaires"</ref> The Grenadiers fared little better, also losing many men and much of its matériel in battles with the AFFS.<ref name="HL(TCC)p99"/> In contrast with the Grenadiers and Legionnaires, Lockhardt's Ironsides gained a reputation as a really good command for their role in the battle for Fletcher.<ref name="HL(TCC)p99A"/> In [[3019]], Flame Tech was awarded a new contract to supply flamers to the Free Worlds Guard, allowing for a new production facility to be opened and to expand its research operation on Fletcher.<ref>''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', p. 131: "Flame Tech"</ref> In [[3024]] AFFS forces attacked [[Epsilon Eridani]] and Fletcher, but the mercenary unit [[Laurel's Legion]] were able to blunt the attacks.<ref name="HL(TCC)p96">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 96: "Laurel's Legion"</ref> ====Fourth Succession War==== Following negotiations between [[Colonel]] [[Pavel Ridzik]], chief military advisor to [[Chancellor]] [[Maximilian Liao]], and [[AFFS]] [[Lieutenant General]] [[Ardan Sortek]], conducted in February [[3029]] Ridzik created a new nation, the [[Tikonov Free Republic]]. The Republic was created by incorporating those worlds of the [[Tikonov Commonality]] that hadn't already been conquered during the first half of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. Ridzik returned to [[Elgin]], the new capital of the Tikonov Free Republic, on the 3rd of March 3029 and swiftly began implementing a new government consisting of family members, friends and other appointees loyal to himself, purging dissident elements on the various Republic worlds and taking the opportunity to settle old scores. Fletcher was one of the systems incorporated into the Republic.<ref name="FSWMAv2p16"/> ====Operation GUERRERO==== Only lightly garrisoned by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] due to the limited industrial value of the world and military commitments in light of the [[Clan Invasion]], Fletcher was a ripe target for attack by the Capellan-backed ''[[Zhanzheng de Guang]]'' terrorists. An attempted unsupported conquest by the guerrillas during the [[Operation GUERRERO]] attacks on the Federated Commonwealth destroyed the planetary HPG station, plunging the world into a communications blackout relative to most Inner Sphere planets.<ref name=FM:MRp18/> In the wake of that destruction and the failure to impose outside order, Fletcher devolved into a series of city-states, which created an opportunity for illicit activities, including under-the-table contracts to mercenaries. The capital city, Royce, was one of the few areas with some degree of stability due it falling under the control of militia units who were inspired by the ideals of the Federated Commonwealth but who were not loyal to the government of that state. The spaceport was maintained during this period, permitting space-based trade with other city-states as well as supporting offworld trade, a situation considered safer due to the presence of heavily armed pirates and bandits on overland routes.<ref name=FM:MRp18/> The site of the destroyed HPG turned into an illicit hiring hall frequented by disreputable mercenaries who often found themselves taking on work that the [[MRBC]] would refuse to sanction. The Royce Hiring Center had strict no-weapons policies enforced by a large, well-armed security force and permitted discrete meetings between commands looking for work and the employers who offered it. Negotiations were not guaranteed by any party and betrayals were common.<ref name=FM:MRp18/> ====Civil War==== Following the eruption of the [[FedCom Civil War]], Capellan-aligned irregulars once again attempted to seize control of Fletcher, successfully taking over some outlying areas. While the Confederation declared itself victorious due to the breadth of territory controlled, the matter was still contested in some quarters.<ref name=FM:MRp18/> ====The Jihad==== Fletcher was attacked by the Word of Blake in late [[3067]], part of a campaign that saw the Blakists incorporate Fletcher into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]] by the 30th of December, along with the nearby worlds of [[Epsilon Indi]] and [[Tall Trees]].<ref name="J:FRp44">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 44: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Shortly after crushing the opposition, the Word shut down all mercenary hiring and converted the Hall to a detention center.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 21: "Fletcher's mercenary halls being closed by the Word of Blake and mercenaries being detained are noted"</ref> Having captured Fletcher, the Blakists largely ignored the planet for the remainder of the Jihad.<ref name="DARWp75"/> In late 3077, the world was liberated during the Federated Suns thrust toward Terra by the [[First Davion Guards]] and [[2nd Army (ComStar)|ComStar's Second Army]]. Operating as a part of Group II on the Federated Suns front of [[Operation SCOUR]], the First Davion Guards were commanded by [[Conner Sortek]], while [[Galen Cox]] led the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] forces; the campaign for Fletcher was recorded as having been brief by the media in the Federated Suns, with the allied coalition forces delivering far more damage than they received, crushing the defending Blakist forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp39+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 39–40: "Ingress, Fletcher Fall"</ref> ====The Dark Age==== Elements of [[Clan Wolf]] chose to resettle on Fletcher during the [[Dark Age]], having decided to resettle within the [[Republic of the Sphere]], and restored many of the [[Star League era]] factories before using them to manufacture civilian machinery.<ref name="DARWp75"/> In September [[3132]], the [[1st Bannson's Raiders]] attacked a [[Belyakov-Ourobouros]] depot on the planet, overwhelming unarmed IndustrialMechs with their armed ''[[Opossum]]''s.<ref name=TRO:Ip24>''Technical Readout: Irregulars'', p. 24: "''Opossum'' SalvageMech MOD"</ref> On the 25th January [[3135]], during the black-out, DropShips were spotted over Valis City. Fearing they were Capellan Confederation forces, riots broke out. Legate [[David Fouche]] attempted to calm the residents, informing them that the incoming DropShips where part of the scheduled resupply convoy from [[New Home]] that was arriving a day early. Nevertheless, martial law was enacted until forces from the [[Fletcher Militia]] could disperse the riots.<ref name=DA3135PDAJp146>''Dark Age: 3135 PDA Journals'', p. 145: "21 January 3135"</ref> ===Military Deployment=== ====3025==== * [[Third Confederation Reserve Cavalry]]<ref name="HL(TCC)p105">''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'', p. 105: "Regimental Deployment Table"</ref> :* Third Battalion<ref name="HL(TCC)p105"/> ====3067==== * [[Martian Cuirassiers]]<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 110: "Word of Blake Mercenary Deployment"</ref> ====3075==== * As of 1 January 3075, the world was garrisoned by one division of the Protectorate Militia: the [[Fletcher Protectorate Militia]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 103: "Protectorate Militia Deployment"</ref> ====3135==== * [[Fletcher Militia]]<ref name=DA3135PDAJp146/> ====3145==== * [[1st Liao Guards|First Liao Guards]]<ref name=FM3145p47>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 47: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> :- At this point in time, the unit was at 85% of full strength with an "A" equipment rating.
