The industry of Milton was at its peak when [[Terra]] ceased all trade with worlds further than one jump away.<ref name=BT25Yp109/> As [[Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] began his third "campaign of persuasion" in [[2333]] to annex former Terran Alliance colonies and bring them into the [[Terran Hegemony]], Milton was the second planet to be targeted by the [[Terran Hegemony|Hegemony Armed Forces]].<ref name="TSLp18"/> The Hegemony later used Milton's trade problems as a part of the campaign to reintegrate the planet, and soon industry begun to develop again.<ref name=BT25Yp109/> Milton became a major exporter of industrial materials, radioactive ores, and components for fusion engines and spacecraft,<ref name=DARWp191/> until the [[Amaris Civil War]] began. Amaris' troops pillaged Milton, leading to its slow collapse. During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]], battles between the [[Free Worlds League]] and the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] led to the destruction of all industry on the Phronx and Selajia continents and lead to their total biological and chemical contamination. In contrast to the Succession Wars, during the [[Jihad]], Milton avoided any significant damage and experienced major industrial growth later after the conflict.<ref name=BT25Yp109/> ====First Succession War==== Milton was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth border worlds to be struck by a devastating cross-border raids by the Free Worlds League between [[2786]] and [[2790]], as the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the [[Bolan Thumb]] while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="FSWp62">''First Succession War'', p. 62: "The War of Raids: House Steiner's Succession War"</ref> ====Fourth Succession War==== In October [[3028]] Milton was targeted by the Free Worlds League Military as a part of [[Operation DAGGER]], the offensive planned by [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] to seize valuable industrial worlds in the [[Federation of Skye]]. [[Smithson's Chinese Bandits]] arrived in-system on the 1st of October as League invasion forces were jumping into other systems nearby as part of an offensive intended to isolate and then destroy two Lyran line regiments, the [[Eleventh Lyran Guards]] and the [[Seventeenth Arcturan Guards]], both stationed on Wyatt.<ref name="FSWMAv1p62">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 62: "Operation DAGGER"</ref> Although the plan to destroy the two Lyran regiments was unsuccessful, the League did capture Milton.<ref name="FSWMAv1p63">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 63: "Operation DAGGER"</ref> ====The Jihad==== Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the [[Lyran Alliance]] in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, as it struck into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Milton was one of the worlds hit and was captured by the League on the 1st of September [[3068]] by the [[First Free Worlds Guards]] in less than forty-eight hours.<ref name=SLB>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [12/09/3068]: "Steiner Lines 'Broken' Says Brett Aide"''</ref><ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad In Review"</ref> The planet was subsequently incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and later liberated by troops fighting on the Lyran front of [[Operation SCOUR]] in January [[3078]].<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> ====Republic Era==== Under [[Republic of the Sphere]] control, Milton's economy boomed.
