===Planetary History===
 +
====Early History====
 +
New Hope was colonized during the [[twenty-second century]] and, along with [[Tania Borealis]], served as the base from which [[Helm]] was discovered and settled.<ref name=TPOGchap4/>
 +
 
 +
====First Succession War====
 +
New Hope would fall under the control of the Lyran Commonwealth in [[2818]] as part of [[Operation SPIDERWEB]].<ref name=FSW78/>
 +
 
 +
====Second Succession War====
 +
[[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Charles Marik (29th c.)|Charles Marik]] attempted to overcome intelligence blind spots due to the poor condition of [[SAFE]] by asking his sister, [[Jeannette Marik]], to use her [[ComStar]] ties to provide Lyran and Capellan military information in [[2830]].  He did not realize that Jeannette would immediately inform the [[Primus]] [[Conrad Toyama]] of his request.<ref name=CS-24>''ComStar'', pp. 24–27: "ComStar War"</ref>
 +
 
 +
Recognizing he had an opportunity beyond merely dragging the League into the [[Second Succession War]], Toyama provided Jeannette with a document supposedly from the Lyran high command containing plans for the invasion of [[Graham IV]], [[Castor]], and [[Callison]]. Jeannette passed on the seemingly important transmission to her brother in mid-June, never questioning its authenticity. Charles then refused to accept Lyran denials that such attacks weren't planned and ordered his troops into a state of readiness to launch his own attack against House Steiner, forcing the LCAF to respond in kind and create the threat the faked documents claimed.<ref name=CS-24/>
 +
 
 +
Charles Marik would have Free Worlds League forces attack New Hope and [[Dieudonné]] in the summer of 2830 as part of [[Operation TALON]]. The Second Succession War had officially begun.<ref name=SSW31>''Second Succession War'', p. 31: "The Quite Eagle"</ref><ref name=SSW39>''Second Succession War'', p. 39: "The Eagle Swoops"</ref>
 +
 
 +
On 19 August [[2830]], the New Hope system was again under the control of the Free Worlds League.<ref name=SSW39/> However, in [[2831]], a Lyran Commonwealth counterattack on New Hope would bring the system back into Commonwealth control where it would stay through the remainder of the Second Succession War.<ref name=SSW40/><ref name=SSW79/>
 +
 
 +
====Third Succession War====
 +
The New Hope system was reclaimed by the Free Worlds League in [[2869]].<ref>''House Steiner (The Lyran Commonwealth)'', p. 66</ref>
 +
 
 +
====Jihad====
 +
Despite having been occupied by the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]] and incorporated into the [[Word of Blake Protectorate|Protectorate]], New Hope was free before the allied coalition forces prosecuting the Free Worlds front of [[Operation SCOUR]] arrived on the planet on 10 June [[3077]].  The coalition troops arrived only to discover that the local government had already removed their Blakist rulers.<ref name="J:FRp57">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 57: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
 +
 
 +
====Dark Age====
 +
After the formation of the [[Republic of the Sphere]] via the [[Republic Formation Treaty]] of 15 March 3081, forces from the Silver Hawk Coalition would seize New Hope.  The response from the Republic was to launch a swift counter attack. [[Alys Rousset-Marik]] created several contingency plans in case of acts of aggression from her former homeland.  Thus in April 3081, [[Operation GOLDEN DAWN]] was launched by Republic military forces against eight worlds, including New Hope.  By the end of April, New Hope was firmly back in Republic control.<ref name=FM:3085p16>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 16: "Golden Dawn"</ref>
 +
 
 +
===Military Deployment===
 +
====2822====
 +
* [[Seventeenth Skye Rangers]]<ref name=FSW139>''First Succession War'', p 139: "Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces (LCAF)"</ref>
 +
 
 +
====2830====
 +
* Seventeenth Skye Rangers<ref name=SSW99>''Second Succession War'', p 99: "Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces (LCAF)"</ref>
 +
 
 +
====2864====
 +
* [[Sixteenth Lyran Regulars]]<ref name=SSW99/>
 +
 
 +
====3145====
 +
* [[Silver Hawk Irregulars]] (shared with [[Alkes]])<ref name=FM3145p116>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 116: "Free Worlds League and Non-Affiliates Military Forces"</ref>

New Hope

System Information
X:Y Coordinates-113.194 : -32.874[e]

The New Hope system was home to at least one habitable world and as of 3152 was located in the Silver Hawks Coalition of the Free Worlds League.[1]

System Description[edit]

New Hope is located near the Alkes and Kalidasa systems. The system is Anti-Spinward from Terra.[1]

System History[edit]

The New Hope system was colonized at some time during the 2100s.[2]

Political Affiliation[edit]

Planetary History[edit]

Early History[edit]

New Hope was colonized during the twenty-second century and, along with Tania Borealis, served as the base from which Helm was discovered and settled.[2]

First Succession War[edit]

New Hope would fall under the control of the Lyran Commonwealth in 2818 as part of Operation SPIDERWEB.[10]

Second Succession War[edit]

Captain-General Charles Marik attempted to overcome intelligence blind spots due to the poor condition of SAFE by asking his sister, Jeannette Marik, to use her ComStar ties to provide Lyran and Capellan military information in 2830. He did not realize that Jeannette would immediately inform the Primus Conrad Toyama of his request.[32]

Recognizing he had an opportunity beyond merely dragging the League into the Second Succession War, Toyama provided Jeannette with a document supposedly from the Lyran high command containing plans for the invasion of Graham IV, Castor, and Callison. Jeannette passed on the seemingly important transmission to her brother in mid-June, never questioning its authenticity. Charles then refused to accept Lyran denials that such attacks weren't planned and ordered his troops into a state of readiness to launch his own attack against House Steiner, forcing the LCAF to respond in kind and create the threat the faked documents claimed.[32]

Charles Marik would have Free Worlds League forces attack New Hope and Dieudonné in the summer of 2830 as part of Operation TALON. The Second Succession War had officially begun.[33][34]

On 19 August 2830, the New Hope system was again under the control of the Free Worlds League.[34] However, in 2831, a Lyran Commonwealth counterattack on New Hope would bring the system back into Commonwealth control where it would stay through the remainder of the Second Succession War.[13][14]

Third Succession War[edit]

The New Hope system was reclaimed by the Free Worlds League in 2869.[35]

Jihad[edit]

Despite having been occupied by the Word of Blake during the Jihad and incorporated into the Protectorate, New Hope was free before the allied coalition forces prosecuting the Free Worlds front of Operation SCOUR arrived on the planet on 10 June 3077. The coalition troops arrived only to discover that the local government had already removed their Blakist rulers.[25]

Dark Age[edit]

After the formation of the Republic of the Sphere via the Republic Formation Treaty of 15 March 3081, forces from the Silver Hawk Coalition would seize New Hope. The response from the Republic was to launch a swift counter attack. Alys Rousset-Marik created several contingency plans in case of acts of aggression from her former homeland. Thus in April 3081, Operation GOLDEN DAWN was launched by Republic military forces against eight worlds, including New Hope. By the end of April, New Hope was firmly back in Republic control.[36]
