Most of them left no one seriously injured or caused negligible damage. However, in [[2764]], truck-borne IEDs blasted a whole in the perimeter fence of the local garrison after a local rabble-rouser was taken into custody. Taurian rioters then entered through the gap. They opened fire on SLDF personnel and lobbed satchel charges at nearby combat vehicles and [[BattleMech]]s. More than a company of war machines and several platoons of infantry were lost in the attack before it was put down. The [[33rd Infantry Division]] placed the area under martial law to prevent any additional attacks.<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', pg 227, "33rd Infantry Division"</ref> === The Jihad === Grossbach was the target of a destructive raid by the mercenary unit [[Hansen's Roughriders]] on the 7th of September [[3075]]; the Roughriders attacked numerous Taurian Concordat worlds as part of a Federated Suns counter-offensive in response to the recent Taurian invasion of the Federated Suns.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> === The Dark Age === In the aftermath of the [[Jihad]] Grossbach was one of the Taurian worlds suffering badly from a lack of funding to assist in rebuilding after the damage inflicted by the Roughriders. As with [[Macleod's Land]], [[Sterope]] and [[Taurus]] itself, rebuilding was going woefully slowly in the decade after the Jihad ended, as a consequence of the Taurian government diverting so much effort and resources to the war effort.<ref name="FM:3085p132">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 132, "Taurian Concordat"</ref> During [[Operation MATADOR]] the [[First MacLeod's Regiment]] retreated to Grossbach from Perdition, having held out against the [[First Davion Guards]] until the arrival of the [[Twenty-second Avalon Hussars]] [[LCT]] made their position indefensible.<ref name="FM:3085p142">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 142, "III Corps"</ref> The [[Concordat Commandos]] were relocated to Grossbach after MATADOR, having requested a border posting so that they could launch attacks into the Federated Suns. In the first half of the 3080s the Commandos launched numerous raids against Logan's Land, [[Norman's World]] and Perdition from the Grossbach, with their efforts to insert cover operatives onto the three worlds to undermine the Federated Suns governments in place proving a dismal failure because of the experience and training the local garrisons had in ferreting out insurgents.<ref name="FM:3085p141">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 141, "Taurian Guard Brigade"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Political Affiliation == == Planetary Rulers == --> == Military Deployment == ===2764=== * [[33rd Infantry Division]]<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', pg 258, "SLDF - Taurian Concordat Military Region Command map</ref> === 3025 === * [[Concordat Jaegers]] (Third Battalion)<ref name="TP1Ep81">''The Periphery, First Edition'', p. 81, "BattleMech Regiment Deployment Table (as of 3025)"</ref> * [[Red Chasseurs]] (Third Battalion)<ref name="TP1Ep81"/> * [[Gordon's Armored Cavalry]] (Quinn's Lancers)<ref name="TP1Ep81"/> === 3085 === * Concordat Commandos <ref name="FM:3085p150">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 150, "Taurian Guard"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information == Geography == == Planetary Locations == ===Companies and Industries=== == Image gallery == --> == Nearby Systems == {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" width='800' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" ! colspan="8" | Systems within 60 light-years (distance in light years)<br> Closest systems first: |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Perdition]] | class="lessthan30" | 10.6 | class="lessthan30" | [[Logan's Land]] | class="lessthan30" | 17.0 | class="lessthan30" | [[Masterton]] | class="lessthan30" | 17.7 | class="lessthan30" | [[Norman's World]] | class="lessthan30" | 24.3 |- | class="lessthan30" | [[Hanseta]] | class="lessthan30" | 26.6 | class="lessthan30" | [[Sartu]] | class="lessthan30" | 27.2 | class="over30" | [[Amber]] | class="over30" | 30.2 | class="over30" | [[Dicallus]] | class="over30" | 32.7 |- | class="over30" | [[Mavegh]] | class="over30" | 33.1 | class="over30" | [[Celentaro]] | class="over30" | 34.8 | class="over30" | [[Euschelus]] | class="over30" | 37.0 | class="over30" | [[Tirabad]] | class="over30" | 37.1 |- | class="over30" | [[Amber Grove]] | class="over30" | 37.4 | class="over30" | [[Victralla]] | class="over30" | 38.7 | class="over30" | [[Warren]] | class="over30" | 40.3 | class="over30" | [[Hyalite]] | class="over30" | 43.1 |- | class="over30" | [[Caldwell]] | class="over30" | 47.3 | class="over30" | [[Organo]] | class="over30" | 49.8 | class="over30" | [[Centavido]] | class="over30" | 52.3 | class="over30" | [[Lothair]] | class="over30" | 52.9 |- | class="over30" | [[Flatspin]] | class="over30" | 53.5 | class="over30" | [[Montour]] | class="over30" | 54.3 | class="over30" | [[Anaheim]] | class="over30" | 56.1 | class="over30" | [[Sterope]] | class="over30" | 57.3 |- | class="over30" | [[Zalzangor]] | class="over30" | 58.9 | class="over30" | [[Cyrton]] | class="over30" | 59.0 | class="over30" | [[Cadiz (TC)|Cadiz]] | class="over30" | 59.9 |- |} == References == <references/> == Bibliography == * ''[[Era Report: 2750]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: SLDF]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Periphery]]'' * ''[[Field Report 2765: Periphery]]'' * ''[[First Succession War (Source Book)|First Succession War]];; * ''[[Handbook: House Davion]]'' * ''[[Handbook: Major Periphery States]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' * ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]'' * ''[[Historical: Reunification War]]'' * ''[[Historical: War of 3039]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' * ''[[Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents]]' * ''[http://home.ifi.uio.no/~oysteint/btech/maps/IS_3130.pdf Map of the Inner Sphere 3130]'' * ''[[The Periphery (sourcebook)|The Periphery, First Edition]]'' * ''[[The Periphery, 2nd Edition|The Periphery, Second Edition]]'' * ''[[Second Succession War (sourcebook)|Second Succession War]]'' [[Category:Planets|Grossbach]] [[Category: Independent Planets]] [[Category: Taurian Concordat Planets]]
