−	====Third Succession War====
−	Spica was the scene of the Siege of Valencia in [[3017]] in which [[Justin Allard]] distinguished himself in driving off the Capellan invasion force. When the [[CCAF]] forces were on the verge of trapping the [[5th Davion Guards|Fifth Davion Guards']] command unit, Allard's unorthodox actions saved the Guards' CO, [[Sheridan Courtney]] and his staff from destruction, earning him the [[Diamond Sunburst]]. Allard also dueled a Capellan ''[[Vindicator]]'' and won; unbeknownst to him, the Capellan MechWarrior was [[Candace Liao]], his future spouse.<ref name=BTLp48/> <ref>''Warrior: En Garde'', Chapters 12-14 (PDF version)</ref> <ref name=WRchap11>''Warrior: Riposte'', Chapter 11 (PDF version)</ref>

	In March 3069 the mercenary unit known as the [[Federated Freemen]] were attempting to rebuild on Spica following heavy damage taken during SOVEREIGN JUSTICE when the Capellan [[1st Janissary Brigade|First Janissary Brigade]] assaulted Spica. [[Colonel]] [[Xavier Pelt]] of the Freemen tried several feints to disrupt the Janissary Brigade, to no avail; with complete aerial supremacy, the Janissaries continually ground the Freemen down while launching devastating low-level attacks with [[VTOL]]s and [[Mechbuster]]s. Colonel Pelt was killed on the 30th of April, at which point the surviving elements of the Freemen - some two mixed [[company|companies]] of [[combat vehicle]]s and [[BattleMech]]s - negotiated a peaceful withdrawal, leaving hundreds of tons of 'Mech salvage behind.<ref name="MSUp52">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 52, "Federated Freemen"</ref>		In March 3069 the mercenary unit known as the [[Federated Freemen]] were attempting to rebuild on Spica following heavy damage taken during SOVEREIGN JUSTICE when the Capellan [[1st Janissary Brigade|First Janissary Brigade]] assaulted Spica.

[[Colonel]] [[Xavier Pelt]] of the Freemen tried several feints to disrupt the Janissary Brigade, to no avail; with complete aerial supremacy, the Janissaries continually ground the Freemen down while launching devastating low-level attacks with [[VTOL]]s and [[Mechbuster]]s. Colonel Pelt was killed on the 30th of April, at which point the surviving elements of the Freemen - some two mixed [[company|companies]] of [[combat vehicle]]s and [[BattleMech]]s - negotiated a peaceful withdrawal, leaving hundreds of tons of 'Mech salvage behind.<ref name="MSUp52">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 52, "Federated Freemen"</ref> In 3069, elements of the [[41st Shadow Division]] augmented by elements of the [[13th Division (Word of Blake)|13th Division]] captured Spica, both masquerading as elements of the "[[House Liao]]" offensive.

Knowing that they couldn't win a direct engagement with the Third, the Hussars instead planned and executed an ambush on the Third that saw the Eighth's 'Mechs used as bait. Commanded directly by [[General]] [[Stasi Ivanova]], the Eighth's Mechs led the Third into a valley while the Hussars' hovertanks harassed the Armored Cavalry. When the Third's vanguard entered the valley it came under sustained fire from a company of [[Destrier|Destrier Seige Vehicles]] assigned to the Hussars and was swiftly destroyed; the Hussars then counterattacked while the [[Ballista]] trailers attached to the Destriers launched missile artillery at the Third, and the Third was driven offworld.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp28">''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', p. 28, "Destrier Siege Vehicle"</ref> == Military Deployment == === 2786 === * [[7th St. Ives Lancers|Seventh St. Ives Lancers]]<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War (Source Book)'', p. 136, "First Succession War Deployment Table - CCAF"</ref> === 3061 === * [[5th Davion Guards|Fifth Davion Guards]] [[RCT]]<ref name=SS31>''Shattered Sphere'', p. 31, "FedCom Deployment Table"</ref> * [[7th FedCom RCT|Seventh FedCom]] RCT<ref name=SS31/> === 3063 === * [[Borodin's Vindicators]]<ref name=FMCC120>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 120, "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> * [[Blackwind Lancers]]<ref name=FMCC120/> === 3067 === * [[Jie Fang Legion]]<ref name=FMU34/> * [[1st Kittery Borderers|First Kittery Borderers]]<ref name=FMU138>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 138 - "Federated Suns Deployment Table"</ref> * Blackwind Lancers<ref name=FMU34>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 34, "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> === 3069 === * [[Spica Protectorate Militia]]<ref name=Spica>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [17/05/3071]: "AMC Stragglers Shattered on Spica"''</ref> === 3085 === * [[17th Avalon Hussars|Seventeenth Avalon Hussars]]<ref name=FM3085p69>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 70, "AFFS Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> :- At this point in time, the 17th was at full of strength, with 100% of their equipment featuring upgraded technology. === 3104 === * [[Eighth Avalon Hussars]] [[LCT]]<ref name="TRO:3145FSp28"/> == Notes == It was confirmed by the Line Developers that the maps used in many of the Handbooks are in error or are misleading, and that Spica was a contested world between 3025-3029, and has been a Federated Suns possession since. {{Quote|Spica is disputed in 3025-3029.
