===Planetary History===
 
====Star League====
 
In [[2746]], the [[Second Lyran Guards]] were deployed to Gustrell. Gustrell was located inside the Rim Worlds Republic's borders but considered itself an independent world, despite the lack of a local [['Mech]] garrison. The deployment of the Second Guards was prompted by evidence discovered by the [[LIC]] indicating that a mercenary unit under contract to Gustrell's planetary government was responsible for a brutal assault on a Lyran research station in the [[Dark Nebula]]. The Second quickly destroyed the armor and infantry units that garrisoned Gustrell, and in two days had captured the planet's senate building. The Guards' actions became known as the '''Gustrell Massacre''' after images of burned infantrymen were broadcast throughout the [[Inner Sphere]]. The Second remained on world until a Rim Worlds Republic garrison force could arrive. During that time the LIC completed their investigation and discovered that the mercenaries that had prompted the invasion operated on their own, without aid or comfort from the Gustrell planetary government.<ref name=ER:2750p51>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 51</ref>
 
  
The [[Fourth Amaris Dragoons]] was assigned to Gustrell in the wake of the massacre, under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Xatt Dague]]. Dague quickly distinguished himself, working to coordinate the actions of the Fourth Dragoons and the Second Guards, as well as challenging the Lyrans to [[Gunslinger]]-style duels that soon earned him the nickname "Eagle Eye." After the [[LCAF]] regiment left Gustrell, Dague continued to build a name for himself by performing at military parades in a concerted effort to generate more interest in the [[Rim Worlds Army]].<ref name="ER:2750p93"/>

==Notes==
 +
Gustrell was a part of the [[Apollo Province]] of the [[Rim Worlds Republic]].<ref name="HB:HSp36"/> By 3025 it was a part of the [[Oberon Confederation]].<ref name="HB:HSp47"/><ref name="TP1E"/>
  
====Clan Invasion====
+
==References==
During [[Operation REVIVAL]] in August [[3049]], Gustrell came under attack by [[Clan Wolf]]. The defending [[Gustrell Guards]], two [[battalion]]s of mechanized [[infantry]], faced off against the [[Red Keshik (Clan Wolf)|Red Keshik]] of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]] in the Pellembroke Woods. Despite having prepared fortified positions in the heavily forested terrain, the defenders were easily overrun and the planet conquered by Clan Wolf.<ref name=WCSp56>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 56</ref>
 
 
 
====Jihad====
 
[[Clan Hell's Horses]] controlled the system in the late [[Jihad]]. In [[3085]] however, the Horses withdrew, leaving Gustrell on its own. The citizens of Gustrell reached out to several nearby star systems and negotiated with those systems to form the [[Republic of the Barrens]].<ref>''Interstellar Expeditions: Interstellar Players 3'', p. 44</ref>
