Planetary History

Age of War

Star League

Menkalinan was part of the Terran Hegemony's Terra Firma Province. No Castles Brian are known to have been built on the world.[25]. Like every other Hegemony world, Menkalinan fell to the Amaris Coup. The Star League's Twenty-fourth Army Group consisting of Seventh Army liberated Menkalinan in 2772 despite determined resistance which retreated within the world’s cities and extended the liberation campaign by months.[26]

Early Succession Wars

At the start of the First Succession War Menkalinan was still a part of the Terran Hegemony Remnants but would be conquered by the Capellan Confederation in the opening moves of the war.[27]

Late Succession Wars

Before the War of 3039 began, SAFE managed a rare intelligence coup in detecting the 151st Light Horse Regiment departing for their staging area David. While the Federated Commonwealth was distracted during the War of 3039 the League attempted to reclaim several worlds lost in the Fourth Succession War. The Thirtieth and Fifteenth Marik Militia landed on Menkalinan on April 30 where they simply occupied the positions and installations the Light Horse vacated just weeks prior. Menkalinan was declared captured on 5 May, 3039. Despite only being opposed by planetary militia, both regiments managed to sustain moderate (11-25%) combat losses. This was the only successful operation the League launched during the War. The Federated Commonwealth filed diplomatic protests but took no immediate steps to retake the world. The Thirteenth Marik Militia would remain on Menkalinan while the Fifteenth returned to their base on Berenson.[28][29][30]

Curiously, some reports continue to show Federated Commonwealth forces stationed on Menkalinan after this.[31][32][33]

Clan Invasion

In late 3061 Free Worlds League troop movements began reinforcing the border with the Capellan Confederation and the Disputed Territories. Forces arrived to reinforce Menkalinan in late December[34]
