−	Ford was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth border worlds to be struck by a devastating cross-border raids by the Free Worlds League between [[2786]] and [[2790]], as the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the [[Bolan Thumb]] while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="FSWp62">''First Succession War'', p. 62: "The War of Raids: House Steiner's Succession War"</ref>	+	Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds.

−	In April [[3022]], the [[Third Sirian Lancers]] raided Ford. However, the [[Ford Planetary Militia]], or an unknown unit painted and marked as the Planetary Militia, laid several ambushes and prevented any serious damage from taking place.  It was theorized that perhaps there has been an intelligence breach which had warned the Lyrans of the attacking Marik forces.  The Militia then overran the Lancers drop zone in the Attore Bluff and forced them off world.  Days later, one lone [[Free Worlds League]] [[MechWarrior]] who had been left behind single-handedly raided a munitions plant near the city of Gunster and caused serious damage.<ref name=Abandon>''Abandonment''</ref>	+	=== 2786 ===

At least one of the units assigned to garrison the planet and protect the factories, the Twentieth Arcturan Guards, requested a transfer despite the importance of guarding the industrial facilities because of the difficulty the unit personnel had adjusting to Ford's forty-hour day/night cycle.<ref name="FM2765:LCp8">''Field Report: Lyran Commonwealth 2765'', p. 8-9, "Arcturan Guards"</ref> === The Jihad === Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds.
