In July [[3077]], Nowhere was raided by a group calling itself the [[Farstar Pirates]]. The July raid was the fourth time the Farstar Pirates had hit Nowhere since the beginning of 3077, and the seventh raid the Farstar Pirates had conducted within the boundaries of the Qandahar Prefecture. The July raid saw a [[company]] of Pirate [[BattleMech]]s land outside the Barryland spaceport and proceeded to start looting the various warehouse holding imports and exports, using a dozen cargo vehicles to move the loot back to their [[DropShip]]. The [[Nowhere Militia]] mustered a lance of 'Mechs and a company of combat vehicles outside the spaceport and proceeded to engage the Pirates, but the Pirates were able to hold the Militia off long enough to execute a fighting withdrawal while their transports finished loading. When the Pirates left, the Militia had lost two 'Mechs and a lance of vehicles, with their remaining forces having taken significant amounts of damage; the Pirates had recovered all of their losses other than a single ''[[Panther]]''. It was highlighted that [[Planetary Governor of Nowhere|Governor]] [[Ahano Michi]] had recently ordered a lance of ''[[Quasit]]s'' to shore up the local defenses, but the lack of a dedicated [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] presence in the area attracted criticism in local media for the perceived lack of response from central government following the departure of many DCMS units to serve in [[Operation SCOUR]].<ref name="JHS:Tp54+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 54–55: "Nowhere Raided"</ref>

In mid-December 3077, a large cell from the [[Black Dragon Society]] used the example set by similar cell on [[Qandahar]] to rise up on Nowhere, buoyed by the government of nearby [[Slaithwaite]] declaring openly for the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]''. The cell on Nowhere wasn't alone in rising up; similar cells made identical moves in December, rising up on the worlds of [[Ad Duwayd]], [[Kamarod]], [[Korramabad]] and [[Pusht-i-rud]].<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> As a result, the [[Internal Security Force]] and the Draconis Combine government implemented a travel ban on the 27th of December intended to bar any traffic that wasn't either governmental or military from entering the Qandahar Prefecture or landing on any of the disputed worlds.<ref name="JHS:Tp81">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 81: "Threat Level High"</ref>
