Kimball II was one of the worlds invaded by the Lyran Commonwealth during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major Lyran Commonwealth offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]].

The Rangers' First and Third Battalions were still busily subduing Kimball II when the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] launched a wave of counterattacks - counterattacks that included dropping the [[Third Dieron Regulars]] on Kimball II. The Rangers' Second Battalion and Lightning Company were on [[Komephoros]] at the time, and were also hit by a counterattack in the form of the [[Seventeenth Benjamin Regulars]]. The Rangers were still holding their own when a lull in Lyran offensive operations began in early [[3029]], but being caught divided had negative effects on both the Rangers' ability to operate effectively and their pride.<ref name="NAIS4SWp61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 61: "End of the Offensive"</ref>

The Third Dieron Regulars were still recovering from the loss of almost a [[battalion]] of troops and their commanding officer in a raid on [[Lyons]] when they dropped on Kimball II; the Rangers used the lull in major combat operations well, resting their troops and preparing new plans, and when the orders were issued to restart offensive operations in May [[3029]] the Rangers were ready, well rested and well prepared. Pushing against the Third Dieron Regulars, the Rangers were led on a chase around Kimball II until the Regulars were recalled by the [[DCMS]] in July, despite still having the edge on the Rangers in terms of numbers.<ref name="FSWMAv2p71">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 71: "Ryde Theater"</ref>

Eventually after the Combine drove [[Word of Blake]] forces off the world, it became part of the Republic of the Sphere, but not before the Lyran Commonwealth and Draconis Combine had one more fight over the system. The Republic granted the Combine Favored Nation Trading Partner status to the output of Kimball II, and the Lyran Commonwealth objected. After granting Favored Nation Trading Partner status to the Lyran Commonwealth as well, Kimball II officially became part of the Republic.<ref name=DARWp215/>

'''Kimball VI''' was the subject of a bandit raid in [[3021]]; the ruler of [[Butte Hold]], [[Redjack Ryan]], tasked [[Wilson's Hussars]] to raid Kimball VI to obtain mining equipment and ore processing equipment, as Kimball VI appeared to be the perfect target. Kimball VI had only been settled because of the rich bauxite deposits present on the world, which were mined and processed to fuel the industries on the much more heavily populated Kimball II. With a population of only 100,000, Kimball VI had only a small local militia and a hired mercenary unit, the [[Laws Flight]], equipped with helicopters for defense, leading Redjack Ryan to expect the planet to be easy pickings.<ref name="TRO:3026Rp20"/>

The Hussars landed thirty kilometers south of a mountain range with active mines and moved north in [[company]] strength. By the time the Hussars reached the foothills they had been targeted by the mercenary garrison, who proceeded to ambush and harass the Hussars using their [[Warrior (Combat Vehicle)|Warrior H-7 Attack Helicopters]]. The Hussars couldn't close with the fast VTOLs after the initial ambush against the Hussars' Recon Lance, but Wilson insisted on trying, leading his entire company in pursuit of the mercenaries. That pursuit ended in an ambush in Serval Canyon, a box canyon where the waiting planetary militia dropped SRMs and Infernos on the luckless Hussars on 31 May 3021.<ref>''Combat Manual: Mercenaries'', p. 72: Wilson's Hussars entry – "Escape from Kimball VI" scenario box</ref> After losing three [['Mechs]], Wilson called for a general retreat, and his surviving 'Mechs were harassed constantly by the mercenary helicopters all the way back to their drop zone.<ref name="TRO:3026Rp20"/>
