−	Gibson was terraformed from nearly-dry rock into a thriving, habitable planet. At the beginning only 20% of planet was covered by water, but when the [[Ryan Ice Cartel]] started the transformation process the planet reached nearly 70% water coverage, the new lands became great agricultural centers and so population of the planet boomed.

When Gibson become known from their tolerance to various cultures the process accelerated reaching over 4 billion citizens by [[3072]].<ref name=BT25Y/>
−	Roughly 150 years prior to [[3055]] (around the year 2900), Gibson broke away from the [[Principality of Regulus]] over religion and taxation issues.<ref>''Ideal War''</ref>	+	The famous tolerance of Gibson caused the [[Word of Blake]] to use it as a refugee after the [[ComStar Schism]]. Gibson natives resented the Word's unwanted intrusion, and from [[3053]] onward there were disputes with the Word of Blake Militia and a local group of dissenters known as the Gibson Freedom League. The Captain-General sent the [[First Knights of the Inner Sphere]] to quell the unrest, and though some of it was defused, it was not until [[3055]] that a tactical nuclear warhead, allegedly deployed by the Freedom League, brought the fighting to a swift conclusion. After this, the Freedom League was scattered and its leadership in Word custody, and the Blakists were able to exploit Gibson's manufacturing resources to their fullest.<ref name="TCp127">''Total Chaos'', p. 127-129, "GIBSON"</ref>
−	Also as of 3055, [[House Dystar]] ruled over Gibson and Countess Dystar had installed an incompetent local Principal names Hsiang. The people of Gibson appealed to Countess Dystar and to the [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] of the [[Free Worlds League]] but their pleas fell on deaf ears; Dystar, like her predecessors before her, profited from the situation and actively sought to hide it from the Captain-General. The famous tolerance of Gibson caused the [[Word of Blake]] to use it as a refuge world after the [[ComStar Schism]] with the Captain-General's permission. Gibson natives resented the Word's unwanted intrusion, and from [[3053]] onward there were disputes between the Word of Blake Militia and a local group of dissenters known as the [[Gibson Freedom League]].

At the beginning only 20% of planet was covered by water, but when the [[Ryan Ice Cartel]] begun the transformation process the planet reached nearly 70% water coverage, and the new lands become great agricultural centers and so population of this planet begun to growth daily. When Gibson become known from their tolerance to various cultures the process accelerated reaching over 4 billion citizens by [[3072]].<ref name=BT25Y/> The famous tolerance of Gibson caused the [[Word of Blake]] to use it as a refugee after the [[ComStar Schism]]. Gibson natives resented the Word's unwanted intrusion, and from [[3053]] onward there were disputes with the Word of Blake Militia and a local group of dissenters known as the Gibson Freedom League. The Captain-General sent the [[First Knights of the Inner Sphere]] to quell the unrest, and though some of it was defused, it was not until [[3055]] that a tactical nuclear warhead, allegedly deployed by the Freedom League, brought the fighting to a swift conclusion. After this, the Freedom League was scattered and its leadership in Word custody, and the Blakists were able to exploit Gibson's manufacturing resources to their fullest.<ref name="TCp127">''Total Chaos'', p. 127-129, "GIBSON"</ref> Soon they began to impose their beliefs on the locals, as well as cooperating with Gibson companies, notably using [[Gibson Federated BattleMechs - (Free Worlds Defense Industries)|Gibson Federated BattleMechs]] to produce the [[Grand Crusader]]. ====The Jihad==== On the 9th of August [[3071]], the government of the [[Free Worlds League]] rump state on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] formally ceded control of Gibson to the Word of Blake - or, more specifically, to [[Precentor]] [[Apollyon]] of the [[Manei Domini]].<ref name="JHS3076p17">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 17, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp49">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 49, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> After the rebels from the NGFL attempted to sabotage the Gibson Federated BattleMechs and tried to assassinate Demi Precentor [[Vapula]], Apollyon then led his [[Fifty-second Shadow Division]] through the capital city of Portent and purged all remaining traces of the NGFL.<ref name="TCp127"/> Almost two years to the day after the Word of Blake officially took control of Gibson, the planet was attacked by forces from the [[Principality of Regulus]]. The task force was formed by the [[Fourth Regulan Hussars]] as the foundation for [[Operation VIJAY]] with mercenary support from the [[Thirteenth Stalking Horse]], the [[Wild Geese]], and several smaller mercenary formation (the [[Deadly Burns]], [[Doomsday Brigade]], [[Herculan Muster]] and [[Johannes' Sting]]) and gave operational command to retired Regulan [[General]] [[Tomaso Kinchuhara]].<ref name="TCp127"/> The Regulan fleet attacked on the 13th of August [[3073]], initially meeting no resistance as they entered the system; however, the ground forces landed by the Regulans were almost completely eradicated by the planets defenders. Leading the Word of Blake defense were two of the infamous [[Shadow Division]]s, the [[49th Shadow Division|49th]] and [[52nd Shadow Division|52nd]]. With the Regulan ground offensive firmly defeated, Word of Blake [[WarShip]]s appeared in-system and shattered the Regulan naval forces, with only a few survivors escaping.<ref name="JHS3076p31+">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 31, p 34, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp52">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 52, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Apollyon forced the smaller mercenary commands to surrender, and both Shadow Divisions hunted down the rest of the invaders.<ref name="TCp127"/> Among those units destroyed or badly mauled were the [[4th Regulan Hussars|Fourth Regulan Hussars]], the [[13th Stalking Horse|Thirteenth Stalking Horse]] and the [[Wild Geese]]; a few damaged units managed to escape from the surface of the planet by [[DropShip]] after the Wild Geese sold themselves dearly to buy time, but the losses taken by the Regulan forces overall was compared to the casualties taken in the earliest days of the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name="JHS3076p41">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 41-42, "Chaos Overwhelming: Dante's Daydream"</ref> Forces from the Principality of Regulus returned to the Gibson system on the 21st of December [[3078]]. A task force consisting of numerous JumpShips loaded with assault DropShips, troopships and fighter carriers entered the system via a pirate point, and four days later the Regulan task force began a planetary bombardment. The bombardment was conducted on a global basis and eradicated the bulk of the Word of Blake leadership; the Regulans targeted every major population center and industrial site on the surface, scouring the world.
