====The Star League====
 
====The Star League====
By the time the [[Star League]] came into being Syrma had become a world jointly administered by the Terran Hegemony and the Lyran Commonwealth, with the population existing in an odd mix of primitive and technocratic lifestyles. The abundance of resources on Syrma made the planet an obvious target for the forces of [[Stefan Amaris]] when he launched his coup, and the Usurper's forces who landed on Syrma were brutal. The invaders executed the majority of the local government, both Hegemony and Commonwealth citizen alike, and enslaved much of the population of the antitechnology enclaves to work as slave labor in the mines and industries on the planet. This resulted in some of the greatest atrocities to be conducted during the Usurper's rule, and it was only with the planet's liberation during the [[Hegemony Campaign]] waged by the [[Star League Defense Force]] under [[General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] that the population would be freed.<ref name="DARWp199"/>

====The Succession Wars====
 
====The Succession Wars====
After the fall of the Star League, Syrma would have the distinction of being the first world to leave the Terran Hegemony. Syrma had already been a jointly controlled system with the Lyran Commonwealth, and on 19 July [[2783]] the government petitioned the [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] for full membership, formally joining the Commonwealth six weeks later.<ref name=FSWp13/>
+
After the fall of the Star League the Lyran Commonwealth annexed Syrma and would invest heavily in reconstruction efforts to rebuild the industrial infrastructure of the world. The descendants of the original settlers on Syrma were largely overlooked by the Lyran government during these reconstruction efforts and neglected their agricultural communes; this tendency to ignore the antitechnology groups continued throughout the [[BattleTech eras|Succession Wars]] and nearly led to the extinction of these groups.<ref name="DARWp199"/>

====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 across numerous worlds. Syrma was one of the worlds hit and was assaulted by the League forces on 17 October [[3068]]. The League held Syrma for five weeks, with Lyran forces recapturing the planet by the 27th of November.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad in Review"</ref>
