In [[3028]], Pacifica was invaded and occupied briefly by [[House Kurita]] forces, which invaded the world in search of a [[Star League]] cache rumored to be on the planet. The invasion marked the reformation of the famed [[Crescent Hawks]] unit, under the command of Jason Youngblood. The Hawks fought a guerrilla war against the Kurita occupation forces, called in reinforcements and successfully kept the cache safe until the Lyran relief forces arrived. This subsequently caused the invasion to fail and forced the remaining Kurita forces off planet. == References == <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[BattleTech: The Crescent Hawks' Inception]]'' * ''[[Spotlight On: Crescent Hawks]]'' [[Category: Military Academies|Pacifica Training School]]
