== Planetary History ==
In the mid-26th century, '''Kennard''' was an agricultural world within the Outworlds Allianc], located close to the Alliance border with the Federated Suns. In [[2581]], the [[Star League]] sent the Outworlds Alliance Task Force consisting of two [[SLDF]] [[corps]] supported by an auxiliary force from the [[Draconis Combine]] to forcibly incorporate the Alliance into the Star League, following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]] by the Alliance along with the other major [[Periphery]] states. Although Kennard wasn't targetted in the first wave of attacks, it was an early target during the second year of the invasion.<ref name="H:RWp118"/>

[[General]] [[Amos Forlough]], commander of the Star League task force, issued the attack orders for both Kennard and the nearby world of [[Pitkin]] on the 6th of January [[2582]]. The militia forces on Kennard consisted of barely a single battalion of light [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] and a single battalion of irregular infantry at this point in time, as Kennard was located far from what the [[Outworlds Alliance Militia]] considered to be the likely invasion route into the Alliance, making Kennard a low priority for resources. Forlough dispatched the [[18th Royal Brigade]] - one of the three brigades within the [[6th Royal Division]] of [[II Corps (Star League)|II Corps]] and fresh from weeks of rebuilding after the 6th Royal Division had suffered significant losses against the [[Pitcairn Legion]] on [[Sevon]] in late [[2581]] - to annex Kennard. The militia posed no real challenge to the 18th Royal Brigade and were eliminated in days.<ref name="H:RWp118"/>

In contrast to the easy defeat of the Kennard militia, the 18th Royal Brigade forces faced a much stiffer challenge in January and February [[2583]]. The Outworlds Alliance Militia had gained additional regiments from the conflict on [[Haynesville]], which freed up the [[Pitcairn Legion]] to start raiding Alliance worlds occupied by Star League forces. The Pitcairn Legion's 1st Regiment landed on Kennard on the 24th of January in the guise of a regular supply shipment. Led personally by [[Elias Pitcairn]], the Legion revealed itself by striking directly at the 18th Royal Brigade garrison in Clayton, Kennard's capital city. The attack on the Clayton garrison was just the first attack in what became a two-week long rampage across Kennard, which saw the 18th Royal Brigade try to pin down the Pitcairn Legion forces as Elias Pitcairn struck at every major [[SLDF]] outpost on the planet. When the Legion left Kennard at the end of February the 18th Royal Brigade had been both bloodied and embarrassed by the successful Legion raid.<ref name="H:RWp123"/>

[[House Davion]] forces were allowed to effectively annex Kennard in [[2584]] by the new commander of the Outworlds Alliance Task Force, [[Major General]] [[Franklin Barnex]], following SLDF redeployments which removed units from occupied worlds in the Outworlds Alliance to fight against the [[Taurian Concordat]]. On the 1st of August [[2585]] Kennard was formally ceded to the [[Federated Suns]] along with 8 other worlds as a part of the terms laid out within the [[Treaty of Cerberus]].<ref name="H:RWp126">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 126, "Year Five: Peace In Our Time"</ref>

=== Clan Invasion ===
Following excellent performance in the [[War of 3039]], the mercenary command [[Lindon's Battalion]] was returned to garrison Kennard, growing into a full regiment thanks to assistance from the [[Federated Commonwealth]], which was grateful for the Battalion's efforts on [[Bergman's Planet]]. As the mercenary unit grew in size, members began agitating for a more adventurous posting, something the [[AFFS]] High Command took note of after the mercenaries slaughtered a company-strength pirate command that tried to raid Kennard in the late 3040s or early [[3050]]. The mercenaries used their excellent knowledge of the local terrain to hit the pirates as they were attempting to loot warehouses in Clayton, Kennard's capital city, and managed to capture the pirate [[DropShip]].<ref name="CMM:54">''Combat Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 54, "Lindon's Company"</ref>
