====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 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. The Avatars raised a Protectorate Militia on-planet and then retreated to [[Kittery]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents)'', p. 95 - "13th Division unit history" - birth to reduced raiding force in Liao space by 3073</ref>

In [[3071]] [[AMC]] affiliated units (the [[Wild Geese]] and the [[13th Stalking Horse]]) were battered while attacking Spica by the Protectorate Militia Unit.<ref>''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 14</ref> The battle stopped the flow of relief materials to the Steel Forest devastated after an industrial accident there two weeks prior to the attack.

=== The Late Republic Era ===

Spica was garrisoned by the Eighth Avalon Hussars LCT in [[3104]] when an attack was launched against the Hussars by the [[Third McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]. 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 Siege 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>
