===Planetary History===
 
−
Phecda's orbit has slightly shifted, taking it further away from the system star. This means that Phecda's surface temperature has been dropping for the past few hundred years and more and more of its surface water is being hidden underneath growing polar icecaps. The elongated orbit also makes traveling to Phecda very time consuming. As Phecda relies on interstellar trade for everything it needs to support human life, reducing this travel time is critical. During the [[Star League]] the people of Phecda placed four stations between the world and the jump points, which allowed traders to transship their cargo more quickly. The trader would drop off his cargo at the first station and pick up his outbound cargo of water purifiers built on Phecda, returning to the jump point. The cargo that was delivered to the first station would then be shuttled to the next station, where it would be dropped off and a new group of water purifiers would be taken to the first station. The second station would then deliver materials to Phecda and return with a load of water purifiers. This let the interstellar traders make more of a profit and allowed the Phecdans to survive.<ref name=DARWp195/>
 
  
−
Unfortunately these stations were destroyed in the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]]. As a result, Phecda's population slowly dropped and by the end of the Succession Wars Phecda was little more than a military outpost whose only value lay in its position.<ref name=DARWp195/>

Phecda was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth border worlds to be struck by a devastating cross-border raids by the Free Worlds League between [[2786]] and [[2790]], as the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the [[Bolan Thumb]] while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] and the [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="FSWp62">''First Succession War'', p. 62: "The War of Raids: House Steiner's Succession War"</ref>

In [[3024]], the mercenary unit—and noted treasure hunters—[[Snord's Irregulars]] discovered the remains of a ''[[Colossus (DropShip class)|Colossus]]''-class [[DropShip]] on Phecda. The DropShip had been buried, but had retained its structural integrity despite the length of time the vessel had been buried; Snord's Irregulars managed to salvage a stockpile of spare parts and 'Mechs from the DropShip, and the Lyran Commonwealth later cannibalized the DropShip itself.<ref name="TRO3075p198">''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 198: "Colossus"</ref> Snord's Irregulars had been assigned to Phecda because of raids launched by the [[Free Worlds League Military]]; the Commonwealth had been attempting to construct a large water purification plant on the planet, but the League kept attacking and destroying the plant while it was being built. [[Cranston Snord|Snord's]] interest in the battles on Phecda were based around information he had obtained indicating that a ''Colossus''-class DropShip that had crashed in fairly intact shape on the planet during the fall of the Star League. Aware of League spies on Phecda, Snord gave the impression that his unit, true to their reputation, was more occupied with chasing lost treasures than defending. A mock "water purification plant" was built in the place of the previous one, while the efforts were made to construct the real plant in secret a few kilometers away, at the site of the Irregulars’ supposed treasure hunt. As Snord had anticipated, the spies did not look for a second plant when one was apparently being built in plain sight in the usual spot. As expected, a [[FWLM]] company attacked when the plant was reportedly near completion, but the false compound turned out to be a trap filled with explosives. What remained of the League force was mopped up over the next two days, and according to Snord’s official report he estimated that only three to five enemy 'Mechs made it back to their DropShip. It was during the battle that an Irregulars' scout 'Mech found something metallic under the ice that turned out to be the lost DropShip. The Irregulars recovered a fortune in items including many functional [[BattleMech]]s and well-preserved supplies from the derelict. All of the superior weapon systems and sophisticated [[lostech]] was secretly moved to the Irregulars' base on [[Clinton]] for investigation. An appropriate share of the findings, stripped of all advanced technology, was handed over to [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] in recognition of the support she had given the Irregulars over the years<ref name="CSIp7">''Cranston Snord's Irregulars'', p. 7</ref><ref name=RI7>''Rhonda's Irregulars'', p. 7</ref> - although Cranston Snord had secretly been ordered by [[Colonel]] [[Jaime Wolf]] to hold back any advanced technology, and to add only one additional company of 'Mechs to the Irregulars.<ref name=RI7/>

[[Thirtieth Marik Militia]] arrived in-system on the 1st of October as League invasion forces were jumping into other systems nearby as part of an offensive intended to isolate and then destroy two Lyran line regiments, the [[Eleventh Lyran Guards]] and the [[Seventeenth Arcturan Guards]], both stationed on Wyatt.<ref name="FSWMAv1p62">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 62: "Operation DAGGER"</ref> Although the plan to destroy the two Lyran regiments was unsuccessful, the League did capture Phecda.<ref name="FSWMAv1p63">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 63: "Operation DAGGER"</ref>

Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Phecda was one of the worlds hit and was captured by the League on 1 September [[3068]].<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>

In October [[3028]] Phecda was targeted by the [[Free Worlds League Military]] as a part of [[Operation DAGGER]], the offensive planned by [[Captain-General]] [[Janos Marik]] to seize valuable industrial worlds in the [[Federation of Skye]]. [[Thirtieth Marik Militia]] arrived in-system on the 1st of October as League invasion forces were jumping into other systems nearby as part of an offensive intended to isolate and then destroy two Lyran line regiments, the [[Eleventh Lyran Guards]] and the [[Seventeenth Arcturan Guards]], both stationed on Wyatt.<ref name="FSWMAv1p62">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 62, "Operation DAGGER"</ref> Although the plan to destroy the two Lyran regiments was unsuccessful, the League did capture Phecda.<ref name="FSWMAv1p63">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 63, "Operation DAGGER"</ref>

The [[Word of Blake]] occupied Phecda later during the [[Jihad]], incorporating it into the Word of Blake Protectorate. Forces fighting on the Lyran front of [[Operation SCOUR]] liberated Phecda in January [[3078]], although the commanding officer on the Lyran front, [[Duke]] [[Robert Kelswa-Steiner]], took critical injuries during the battle for Phecda and had to transfer command of the Lyran front to [[Gregory Kelswa-Steiner]].<ref name="J:FRp58">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 58: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> On the 14th of February, after Group IV had completed the conquest of Phecda, Duke Kelswa-Steiner gave an interview to [[Marlena Stockheart]] of SBC; the Duke made a point of highlighting that Gregory Kelswa-Steiner's performance to date and his grasp of matters such as logistics and strategy as a part of Operation SCOUR had attracted praise from many quarters, including [[saKhan]] [[Ivan Kerensky]], the Duke's second in command.<ref name="JHS:Tp65+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 65–66: "Phecda: Tragedy And Triumph"</ref>

=== The Jihad ===
 +
Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed [[Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN]], Marshall [[Jeremy Brett]] took command of the local [[FWLM]] and launched a counteroffensive, under the name [[Operation BROKEN FIST]]. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, striking into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Phecda was one of the worlds hit and was captured by the League on the 1st of September [[3068]].<ref name="J:FRp45">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 45, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>
