In October [[3074]], rebels within the Blakist Protectorate hired mercenary units on generous terms to strike at an Earthwerks Limited facility on Tikonov. The combined mercenary and rebel force successfully seized the facility, which was defended by security forces from the [[Tikonov Protectorate Militia]], at which point at least some of the mercenaries were able to depart with their acquired salvage while the rebels ransacked the facility. Additional Blakist forces intent on recapturing the facility arrived soon after the departure of the mercenaries only to be hit with nuclear weapons by the rebels - weapons which may also have engulfed the facility.<ref name="JHS3076p42">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', pp. 42–43: "Chaos Overwhelming: Dante's Daydream"</ref> During the battle, a lance of ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarter]]s'' burnt a portion of the city as well.<ref name=DADossiers52>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 52: "William "Pyro" Peterson"</ref>

On 20 July [[3075]], the hold the Word of Blake had established over Tikonov was broken by an insurrection amongst the planet's population.
