Novaya Zemlya was settled by ethnic Russians from [[Terra]]. These early settlers formed close ties to the St. Ives Mercantile Association, Crucis Pact, and Tikonov Grand Union. The inhabitants voted to join the Federated Suns in [[2325]], but still retained close ties to their longtime trading partners in St. Ives and Tikonov. That all changed during the [[Age of War]].

Novaya Zemlya has the dubious honor of being the first inhabited world to have its civilian infrastructure specifically bombarded by [[WarShip]]s. In [[2399]], the [[Capellan Confederation]] was under severe pressure from the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]]. Seeking to alleviate that pressure, the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] sent a fleet of WarShips to Novaya Zemlya. In what is known as the [[Novaya Zemlya Massacre]],<ref name=H:HDp108>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 108: "President Marie Davion" profile</ref> the resulting bombardment killed three-quarters of the world's population, destroyed nearly all cities and planetary infrastructure, and poisoned the farmlands. The few survivors had to then deal with the "nuclear winter" that resulted from the dust and debris thrown into the world's upper atmosphere. It would be centuries before the world began to recover to any significant degree, even with the advanced technology of the first [[Star League]] to assist.<ref name=HBD90/><ref name=H:HDp25>''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 25: "Marie Davion"</ref>

The world recovered to the point where new colonists could grow crops on the world. The AFFS established additional facilities on the world, including a Combat Training Center and a material reclamation and rehabilitation center. This in turn led to more manufacturers investing in factories on the world. [[Federated Industries]] established a major facility on Novaya Zemlya, but the most significant event was the relocation of the Kathil PDZ headquarters and Operations Area headquarters to the world during the [[FedCom Civil War]]. These twin headquarters remained on the world after the end of hostilities, and are unlikely to move again soon.<ref name=HBD90/>
