===Planetary History===
 
Gienah was first colonized in [[2159]] by illegal "squatters" from anti-[[Terran Alliance]] nations, but these first denizens were later subsumed by the better-equipped Alliance-supported settlers from Israel, Scotland, and India who began establishing themselves in [[2220]]. Gienah later joined the [[Federation of Skye]] in [[2310]] and benefited from Skye-sponsored industrialization which made Gienah an export center and attractive location for more settlers.<ref name=EAp106/>
 
 
 
====First and Second Succession Wars====
 
While forced to accept trade embargoes during the [[First Succession War]], Gienah's government and corporations managed to establish trading links across the border with the [[Free Worlds League]] by the outbreak of the [[Second Succession War]]. Benefiting from this, both the League and [[Lyran Commonwealth]] governments accepted the world's status as a ''de facto'' neutral trade hub.<ref name=EAp106/>
 
  
Gienah Automotive, a major manufacturer of civilian ground vehicles, was established on Gienah shortly before the Second Succession War.<ref name="HS(TLC)p144"/> In addition to trading within the Commonwealth, Gienah Automotive also traded within the Free Worlds League.<ref name="TR:VAp32">''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex'', p. 32: "Gienah-DuraPaq Elite Series 3"</ref>

In [[2864]], Gienah Automotive was contacted by the CEO of a Free Worlds League shipping company, [[DuraPaq Solutions]], with a view to merge the capabilities of both companies. The talks took until the late [[twenty-ninth century]], they ultimately led to the joint manufacture of a new line of cargo-transporting vehicles: [[Land Train]]s.<ref name="TR:VAp32"/> The fact that products from Gienah were sold to so many of the poorer worlds of the Free Worlds League led to the factories on Gienah being left untouched by both the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]]—a notable rarity amidst the savagery of the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]].<ref name=HBHS137>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 137: "Gienah Automotive"</ref>

In October [[3028]], the LCAF repositioned a number of front-line units as the FWLM launched [[Operation DAGGER]].

During the Jihad, Gienah was one of a number of worlds within the [[Lyran Alliance]] that began producing [[Primitive BattleMech]]s as the [[LAAF]] struggled to keep itself supplied; [[Gienah BattleMechs Ltd.]] produced such designs as the ''[[Griffin]]'' and ''[[Icarus]]'', but in common with other facilities producing what became known as [[RetroTech]], the Gienah facilities had shut down by [[3079]].<ref name=orla4>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 4</ref> In the aftermath of the Jihad Gienah attempted to expand back into the military market through gaining capital via a stock sale, but fell short of the gains needed and as a result Gienah Combat Vehicles was pushed out of the defense industry.

During the Jihad Gienah was one of a number of worlds within the [[Lyran Alliance]] that began producing [[Primitive BattleMech]]s as the [[LAAF]] struggled to keep itself supplied; [[Gienah BattleMechs Ltd.]] produced such designs as the ''[[Griffin]]'' and ''[[Icarus]]'', but in common with other facilities producing what became known as [[RetroTech]], the Gienah facilities had shut down by [[3079]].<ref name=orla4>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 4</ref> In the aftermath of the Jihad Gienah attempted to expand back into the military market through gaining capital via a stock sale, but fell short of the gains needed and as a result Gienah Combat Vehicles was pushed out of the defense industry.By [[3067]], the corporation had three factories on Gienah, however only one-third of its sales came from the Gienah Combat Vehicles Division.<ref name="FM:3085p96">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 96, "Bolan Province"</ref>

==== The Dark Age ====
Gienah became the capital of the Wolf Empire in [[3142]] after [[Clan Wolf]] carved out its new realm from conquered League and Lyran worlds. The Wolves took care to avoid alienating Gienah's native population, leaving local society unchanged and allowing the planetary government to rule Gienah itself in exchange for fulfilling the Clan's military needs and respecting the Wolves' overlordship.<ref name=EAp106/>

Following the conquest of Gienah and the founding of the Wolf Empire [[Combat Vehicle]]s were put back into production on Gienah, supplying the Empire with vehicles such as the [[Aesir (Combat Vehicle)|Aesir Medium AA Vehicle]].<ref name=TRO:3145TCp22>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 22, "Aesir Vehicle Profile"</ref>

By October 3067, Phobos had some long-term constructions, including a small base for the mercenary [[Bloody Stoats]] and a road and bridge system, parts of which had been around for some time.<ref name=NAI14>''The Nellus Academy Incident'', ch. 14</ref> There were plans for expansion, including the enlargement of the Stoats base for use in a planned Lyran invasion of the [[Free Worlds League]].<ref>''The Nellus Academy Incident'', ch. 18</ref>

On 24 October 3067, the Bloody Stoats, on behalf of the Lyran Alliance, attempted to hijack the ''[[Avenger (DropShip class)|Avenger]]''-class [[DropShip]] ''[[Requirement]]'', attempting to capture League [[General]] [[Gurald Eichner]] alive. Due to the resistance of onboard [[Nellus Academy]] cadets, the hijacking failed, ending with the DropShip crash-landing on Phobos near the Stoats' base. Fighting continued in and around the base for two days, until a League force recovered the surviving cadets. In the end, the Stoats had, rather than capturing General Eichner as intended, killed Eichner and half of the cadets, lost most (if not all) of the hijackers, and allowed their commander's intelligence-filled noteputer to be taken by the League. The invasion plan was, as a result, exposed to the Free Worlds League. As well, the Stoats' base was severely damaged, effectively destroyed, in the battle.<ref name=NAI/>
