The Edge was one of the worlds invaded by the Lyran Commonwealth during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The Edge was considered a significant target due to its economic or political importance, and was a target of the followup exploitation phase that followed the first wave of attacks. The exploitation phase was initiated following orders from [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katrina Steiner]] on 21 October [[3028]],<ref name="NAIS4SWp59">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 59: "Follow-up Invasions"</ref> and The Edge was invaded by the [[Tenth Donegal Guards]].<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', pp. 44–45: "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref><ref name="NAIS4SWp61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 61: "End of the Offensive"</ref> Having captured The Edge, the Tenth Donegal Guards suddenly found themselves under attack when the [[DCMS]] launched a counteroffensive in December 3028 and January 3029.

When the lull in major operations settled across the Lyran Commonwealth front in early [[3029]], [[Colonel]] [[George Donaldson]] found his Donegal Guards stalemated a few kilometers away from Bono, the planetary capital city. With Bono being both the capital city and the industrial heart of the planet the Twenty-fifth Rasalhague Regulars had fought a stubborn campaign of resistance, leaving the Donegal Guards with secure positions south and east of the city on high ground, facing pits, trenches and large minefields that the Regulars continued to expand. Unable to push into the city without destroying it and unable to launch a flanking attack without giving up the high ground, Donaldson's forces resorted to daily artillery bombardments and waited.<ref name="FSWMAv2p68">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', pp. 68–69: "The Edge"</ref>
