== Overview ==
 +
Corporations on [[St. Ives]] have expanded some of the huge natural caverns found on the planet and house their factories underground. This forces attackers to launch costly [['Mech]]-to-'Mech actions, but also has one small drawback; the extensive tunnel complexes have never been fully explored, and so a slim chance exists that an invader could enter a neighboring cave system and find a way to break into a plant at a lightly defended point.

====Second Succession War====
 
====Second Succession War====
In [[2861]], three years before the end of the [[Second Succession War]], St. Ives was the subject of a surprise assault by the [[Davion Assault Guards]]. The Assault Guards were led by [[Colonel]] [[Melissa Davion]] and surprised the planetary defenders with their lightning assault, quickly overpowering many of the defenders and pushing the remainder back into defending the [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]]'s palace on St. Ives—the palace in which Chancellor [[Dainmar Liao]] was present at the time of the attack. The Assault Guards besieged the palace while Dainmar Liao cowered under a bed in a secure bunker deep beneath the palace, leading to Dainmar finally suing for peace, accepting [[Federated Suns]] control of all of the worlds captured in the Second Succession War as a part of the peace agreement.<ref name="HB:HLp32">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 32: "Dainmar Liao"</ref>

This raiding period apparently began with a [[Battle of St. Ives (3014)|daring raid]] against the Commonality capital world of St. Ives in 3014. The attackers included the mercenary units [[Kingston's Commandos]], [[Tristram's Terrorists]], and [[Morcock's Crushers]], and saw the defending [[St. Ives Armored Cavalry]] hard pressed, until [[Warrior Houses]] [[Warrior House Kamata|Kamata]] and [[Warrior House Lu Sann|Lu Sann]] arrived to reinforce the defenders and utterly destroy the attackers. The audacity to raid a Commonality capital and later Sian prompted Chancellor Maximilian Liao to authorize [[McCarron's Long March]] in retaliation.
 
  
St. Ives was raided again in [[3026]] by the [[First Kestrel Grenadiers]]. Initially opposed by the [[First St. Ives Lancers]] they were met by [[Red Lancers]] covertly fielding the new [[Electronic Warfare Equipment|EW]]-equipped [[Raven|RVN-1X ''Ravens'']] and [[Cataphract|CTF-0X ''Cataphracts'']]. With the combination of numbers, surprise, and advanced equipment the Grenadiers were nearly destroyed.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars, Volume 1'', p. 6</ref><ref name="MWC">''BattleTech: Inner Sphere Direct Fire Lance'': "Charlotte Chan"</ref>

====Fourth Succession War====
 
====Fourth Succession War====
[[Duchess]] [[Candace Liao]] led the St. Ives Commonality out of the Confederation in the closing stages of the [[Fourth Succession War]], creating an independent nation known as the [[St. Ives Compact]] of which St. Ives was the capital. Although Candace was popular, her decision wasn't universally accepted, particularly after she negotiated a peace treaty between the Federated Suns and the St. Ives Compact in the aftermath of the war. Capellan loyalists spoke out at every opportunity, and in [[3029]] and [[3030]] some of those loyalists turned to armed resistance in an effort to bring the Compact back into the Confederation.

[[Duchess]] [[Candace Liao]] led the St. Ives Commonality out of the Confederation in the closing stages of the [[Fourth Succession War]], creating an independent nation known as the [[St. Ives Compact]] of which St. Ives was the capital. Although Candace was popular, her decision wasn't universally accepted, particularly after she negotiated a peace treaty between the Federated Suns and the St. Ives Compact in the aftermath of the war. Capellan loyalists spoke out at every opportunity, and in [[3029]] and [[3030]] some of those loyalists turned to armed resistance in an effort to bring the Compact back into the Confederation.

Candace understood that to retain the St. Ives Compact as an independent state rather than a client state of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] her fledgling nation would need to be able to defend itself. St. Ives was already a combination of contradictions, combining some of the best defenses to be found anywhere in the [[Inner Sphere]] with some of the most beautiful landscapes to be found anywhere in the Confederation, but Candace mandated the creation of one of the most concentrated and powerful defense industries within the St. Ives Compact, drawing on contacts available through her husband and consort [[Justin Allard]] to help achieve this. The various defense manufacturers within the Compact revamped their factories to become high-production powerhouses, including such sites as the HildCo Interplanetary factories located on St. Ives. While the most dramatic increases in production were seen in the defense sector, the various civilian industries on St. Ives and the other worlds of the Compact also underwent a period of prosperity.<ref name="HB:HLp81"/>

====Capellan-St. Ives War====
The eruption of the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]] in [[3061]] led to brutal battles on a number of Compact worlds, despite the presence of peacekeepers from the [[Second Star League]]. In the aftermath of the savage [[Black May]] attacks precipitated by [[Kali Liao]] the conflict became more ferocious than ever, leading to Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] deploying forces in a direct attempt to secure St. Ives, bypassing other worlds in an effort to bring the war to a swift conclusion. The St. Ives Compact forces on St. Ives fought well and with tenacity, but ultimately Candace Liao was forced to retreat from St. Ives to avoid capture. The St. Ives Compact military continued to fight even after the loss of St. Ives even though defeat was largely inevitable, but negotiations to end the war included the provisions that while the worlds of the St. Ives Compact would be reincorporated into the Confederation as the St. Ives Commonality, they would also remain the Allard-Liao family as their legitimate rulers.<ref name="HB:HLp65">''Handbook: House Liao'', p. 65: "Standing Firm"</ref>

With the end of the war the various defense industries on St. Ives and elsewhere continued to manufacture prodigious quantities of equipment including advanced technologies, with the products of the various factories being distributed across the entire Confederation. The various domestically produced civilian items also found new markets across the Confederation, resulting in an increase in the cost of living on St. Ives and the other worlds of the St. Ives Commonality as goods had to be imported from the other Commonalities to help keep costs down.<ref name="HB:HLp81"/>

Corporations on [[St. Ives]] have expanded some of the huge natural caverns found on the planet and house their factories underground. This forces attackers to launch costly [['Mech]]-to-'Mech actions, but also has one small drawback; the extensive tunnel complexes have never been fully explored, and so a slim chance exists that an invader could enter a neighboring cave system and find a way to break into a plant at a lightly defended point.{{cn}}
