In October [[2985]], elements of the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]'s ''[[Touman]]'' attacked the Clan Diamond Shark holdings on Priori as punishment for allowing their lower castes to vote in changing the name of their Clan.  Near the Lackelland Swamp, the Clan Diamond Sharks [[369th Striker (Clan Diamond Shark)|369th Striker]] [[Cluster]] defeated the Jaguar's [[214th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|214th Jaguar Dragoons]] Cluster by using the marshy terrain to their advantage.<ref name=BSJTDS2/><ref name=BSJTDS2a>''BattleCorps Scenario: Jumping the Diamond Shark'', p. 2: "Attacker"</ref><ref name=BSJTDS3>''BattleCorps Scenario: Jumping the Diamond Shark'', p. 3: "Defender"</ref><ref name=BSJTDS3a>''BattleCorps Scenario: Jumping the Diamond Shark'', p. 3: "Aftermath"</ref>

==History==
 +
Priori was colonized by the Clans by the 29th century. Its Terran-like atmosphere and ecology made it a popular site for colonization and, prior to the [[Burrock Absorption]], Priori was one of the major worlds held by [[Clan Burrock]]. Along with their capital world of [[Albion]], the planet was the site of the main battles between the Burrocks, [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adders]] and [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirits]]. After the Burrock Absorption control of the system was almost equally divided between [[Clan Diamond Shark|Clans Diamond Shark]] and Star Adder. <ref name=WOK113>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 113</ref>

Prior to the [[Burrock Absorption]] in [[3059]], Priori was one of the major worlds held by [[Clan Burrock]]. Along with their capital world of [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]], the planet was the site of the main battles between the Burrocks, [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adders]] and [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirits]]. After the Burrock Absorption control of the system was almost equally divided between [[Clan Diamond Shark|Clans Diamond Shark]] and Star Adder.<ref name=WOK113/>

===3059===
−
Late in [[3071]], Clan Burrock ''abtakha'' among Clan Star Adder, with the assistance from enclaves of [[The Society]], rebelled from the Star Adders. All communication and interstellar traffic to and from Priori were disrupted. By April [[3072]] caste members loyal to the Star Adders were purged or moved to other enclaves. The Burrocks and the Society spent most of the next 2 years preparing for their discovery, repairing the (formerly [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]]) [[Dark Caste]] [[WarShip]] ''[[Streaking Mist]]'' and mobilizing three other WarShips from the system's [[Naval Cache|naval cache]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 132: "The Treason of Priori"</ref><ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 104: "The Fall of York"</ref><ref name=WoR1312/>

Clan Star Adder reestablished contact with Priori in November, [[3073]], when a flotilla escorting [[Mu Provisional Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Mu Galaxy]] and led by [[Loremaster]] [[Fletcher Daniels]] arrived at the system [[Jump Point|zenith]]. After a naval battle in which half of Mu Galaxy was destroyed, along with damage to the ''[[Pegasus (Individual Vincent-class WarShip)|Pegasus]]'' and ''[[Arcadian Asp]]'', the bandits used the orbital shipyards and small [[SDS]] to outmaneuver and escape the flotilla via the planets pirate jump point.<ref name=WoR1312/>
 
−
 
 
−
After taking control of Priori's orbital space, the survivors of Mu Galaxy commenced a ground invasion after a week of observations. Mu landed and secured a beachhead around the city of Capetown, which included the outskirts and both OmniMech manufacturing complexes nearby. Daniels then methodically liberated individual enclaves in piecemeal fashion, Annihilating any Burrock-aligned lower caste members as they were discovered. The pace of the operation allowed both the Burrocks and Star Adders to repair and prepare for each subsequent battle. And while both forces were hindered by lack of resources, Clan Star Adder began sending aid to Mu Galaxy upon receiving word of the operation in January [[3074]]. The government complexes in Haderich were the final objective liberated in October 3074. Only 2,000,000 lower caste members survived.<ref name=WoR1312/>

−
However, the Adders were forced to abandon Priori within a few months. Society scientists unleashed a [[Bloodname]]-specific virus in September 3074, one month before Haderich was taken. The virus had a high mortality rate in the [[Mikino (Bloodname)|Mikino]], [[Reller (Bloodname)|Reller]], [[Truscott (Bloodname)|Truscott]], [[Cannon (Bloodname)|Cannon]], and [[Talasko (Bloodname)|Talasko]] lineages, and was (likely) spread via Priori's surface water. The water, harvested by Mu Galaxy's DropShips at the end of the Priori operation, helped spread the contagion, and had to be quarantined or sacrificed.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 133: "The Ghosts of Priori"</ref>
