Planetary History

Early History

Prior to the Clan Invasion, the most notable event in the planet's history was Topeka Mining Strike in 2876 when several miners unions protested their displacement by thousands of slave labor miners originally imported by House Kurita to construct New Old Idaho after an earthquake destroyed Luzerne's original spaceport. When the local mining consortium were bankrupted as their former offworld customers sourced their needs from the cheaper slave industries, union members blockaded slave quarries and triggering mass protests. Ultimately the DCMS broke the strike in 2879 and House Kurita quietly removed the imported labour, allowing the mining consortiums to take over the now abandoned facilities, expanding the system's economic reach.

Clan Invasion

Targeted as part of Clan Smoke Jaguar's fourth invasion wave in August 3050, Luzerne was defended survivors of the 9th Alshain Regulars who'd escaped Clan Ghost Bears attack on Jarett. Having brutally learned Clan tactics, the 9th prepared and lured the 4th Jaguar Dragoons' first and second trinaries into well-orchestrated crossfire at Topeka Bay. Unfortunately the Jaguars were able to force their way out of the firing zone and circle behind the 9th, the Regulars fleeing north taking heavy casualties. Retreating towards their DropShips, the DCMS troops had reached Lawrence Pass when the Dragoons appeared on the walls above, the 9th Alshain Regulars being virtually destroyed under the heavy fire from the Jaguars. [13]

While seemingly placid and unassuming for most of its existence, the Jaguar occupation finally ignited patriotic passions, resulting in a significant ISF assets on-world.

On July 7 3055, the DCMS and Explorer Corps staged a daring raid against the Smoke Jaguar command post on Luzerne. The outcome of this raid added considerably to the Inner Sphere's knowledge of Clan equipment, particularly their naval vessels.
