Overview
Originally a world within the Outworlds Alliance, Niles was occupied by forces from the Star League in November 2572 under the terms of Directive 21.[6] Originally, these forces consisted of a battalion of infantry and a battalion of BattleMechs drawn from VI Corps on a rotating basis, with different battalions assigned each year. When General Amos Forlough was put in command of the forces that would be used to conduct Operation UNION HOLD, the Star League invasion of the Outworlds Alliance, he increased the garrison on Niles by adding another infantry battalion and reducing the rotation time for garrison forces to once every two years[1]
By early to mid 2581, preparations for an invasion of the Alliance had reached the point where Star League Defense Force troops were actively being marshalled on the border, and two full divisions of Star League troops from II Corps, the 4th Division and the 6th Royal Division, were deployed forward to Niles before launching the invasion of Sevon, while the 13th Brigade of the 5th Division deployed onto Niles before attacking Medron. Aided by the local knowledge gained by the garrison forces from VI Corps, the II Corps forces rapidly disarmed the local militia and the Star League assumed actual control of Niles before beginning their attacks deeper into the Outworlds Alliance.[1]
Resistance attacks on Niles were isolated and infrequent during the war, and the planet remained relatively peaceable throughout the conflict.[1] On the 1st of August 2585 Bad News was formally ceded to the Draconis Combine along with 13 other worlds as a part of the terms laid out within the Treaty of Cerberus.[7]
