Limited to a few petroleum deposits and gemstone veins, the first settlers landed here for a different feature: broad grasslands. These grasslands and the world's climate are well-suited to raising herd animals. Oxen, cattle, and Pesht Butcher beasts do well on these prairies.<ref name=HK189/> In military circles, Thessalonika was known for the Tyrsis McNeil Museum. Dedicated to preserving military technology, it is entirely possible that technicians reviewed the exhibits to understand how the equipment they received from [[ComStar]] worked.<ref name=HK189/> ===Planetary History=== ====Clan Invasion==== Thessalonika was one of the first worlds attacked by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in the fifth wave of the [[Clan Invasion]]. When [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]] struck in November [[3051]], the [[12th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] had been assigned to the planet as part of a training exercise, and so were trapped there along with [[8th Alshain Regulars]]. ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Tasha Greer]] of the Eighth initially ordered the cadets to withdraw to safety, but when ''Tai-sa'' [[Anthony Fanhorn]] politely but firmly refused this order, she decided to work them into her battle plan. [[Khan]] [[Bjorn Jorgensson]] meanwhile would personally lead Delta Galaxy in the first engagement signaling the Clan's return to the Inner Sphere.<ref name=IC26>''Invading Clans'', p. 26</ref> When he received no reply to his ''[[batchall]]'', Khan Jorgensson used information provided by [[ComStar]] to launch the [[68th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|68th Striker Cluster]] against what he thought was the Alshain Regulars. Surprised to find their opponents meeting them in open combat rather than cowering behind cover, the Clan warriors eagerly charged forward to close the gap while the Kuritan forces returned fire and gradually pulled back. The battle was going almost too well for the Ghost Bear warriors, and just as they began to suspect a trap [[Star Colonel]] [[Chou Vong]] detected additional forces approaching from the rear. Immediately the Ghost Bears noticed these new forces were acting with more skill and professionalism than before and the truth was revealed: the cadets had been used to draw the Clanners into a trap set by the Regulars. Khan Jorgensson immediately ordered the [[73rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|73rd Battle Cluster]] to attack, but when the Sixty-eighth protested at having to share glory the Regulars took advantage of the distraction to deliver a crippling blow. Scouts had located the Sixty-eighth's [[DropShip]]s and, using the First Battalion to pin them down, the rest of the regiment proceeded to launch an all-out attack which crippled the transports. Only one DropShip managed to lift off in time, but was so damaged it crashed before reaching safety.<ref name=IC26/> Led by their Khan, the Seventy-third crushed the cadet force, leaving the Eighth Alshain as the only Combine unit left in the field. Joined by armor and infantry units from the local planetary militia, the Regulars proceeded to harass the Clan units in a continuous delaying action, leading Khan Jorgensson to suspect they had called in reinforcements. To counteract this he called down the rest of Delta Galaxy in order to secure the planet immediately. While they quickly overwhelmed the conventional regiments sent to face them, the Regulars still remained elusive and launched stinging raids while Kuritan [[Aerospace Fighter]]s denied the Ghost Bears air superiority for an entire week. Eventually the cause for the Kuritan force's effectiveness in avoiding destruction was revealed: an intercepted transmission from one of the planet's moons traced back to a small research station, which was using its powerful telescopes to track Clan movements and relay this information to the Combine soldiers below. A detachment of [[Elemental]]s quickly seized the station and deactivated its transmitters; denied its invaluable intelligence the Alshain Regulars were finally cornered and defeated.<ref name=IC27>''Invading Clans'', p. 27</ref> ===Military Deployment=== ====3025==== * [[13th Rasalhague Regulars|Thirteenth Rasalhague Regulars]]<ref name=HK135>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 135, "Unit Deployment Table"</ref> ====3061==== * [[56th Provisional Garrison Cluster (Clan Ghost Bear)|56th Provisional Garrison Cluster]]<ref name=FMWC164>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 164, "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> ====3085==== * [[1st Hussars (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Hussars Cluster]]<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 128, "Deployment Table 3085"</ref> ===Planetary Locations=== * Tyrsis is the capital city.
