The SLDF forces quickly dispersed the local pickets and began planetary landings with the [[Fifty-sixth Brigade]] arriving on Umka soon after to capture the world.<ref name="H:RWp97"/> The mercenary unit [[Mieselsen's Marauders]] had been on Umka immediately prior to the Star League invasion, but had been redeployed to Vakarel before the SLDF troops arrived, leaving the First Canopian Light Horse in place to support the planetary garrison.<ref name="H:RWp150"/> The local garrison refused to surrender easily, and while the Fifty-sixth Brigade were able to capture the main industrial complexes quickly and eventually force the First Canopian Light Horse contingent off-world, the remaining garrison forces proceeded to wage a guerrilla war. Breaking up into small groups, the garrison dispersed around the islands and archipelagos of Umka and forced the Fifty-sixth Brigade to spend three months winkling them out; guerrilla groups with hovercraft or armed [[IndustrialMech]]s would frequently relocate across the shallow seas between islands, frustrating the SLDF forces efforts.<ref name="H:RWp97"/> Although the Fifty-sixth Brigade were responsible for capturing Umka, the SLDF task force responsible for conquering the Magistracy stationed a number of other units on Umka during 2577, units which included the [[Sixty-third Royal Brigade]] (from the [[Twenty-First Royal Division]]), [[Third Regulan Hussars]] and the [[Juggernaut (Free Worlds League)|Juggernaut]] regiment of the [[Stewart Dragoons]].<ref name="H:RWp148">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 148: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front(Jump-Off - 2582)"</ref> The Magistracy of Canopus had 13 worlds annexed by the Free Worlds League, either during the Reunification War<ref name="H:RWp159"/> or by Star League decree in [[2602]],<ref name="H:RWp161">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 161: "Good Neighbors To The Magistracy"</ref> and Umka was one of these worlds. ====Clan Invasion Era=== The 25 May [[3061]], a group of [[pirates]] posing as [[Clan Jade Falcon]] warriors landed on Umka. They torched a small fishing village, Tenelid, killing most of the population, before drawing the local militia. However, they were really hunting a militiaman named Kent, for unknown reasons, but all were annihilated by the militia without achieving their goal.<ref>''Up Close'' in ''Shrapnel#11'' </ref> ====The Jihad==== When the Free Worlds League disbanded as a state, many worlds with notable industrial systems found themselves being incorporated by the various provincial states established afterwards - or attacked by them. As an independent world, Umka found itself in a precarious position, but managed to obtain protection from elements of the [[Eighteenth Marik Militia]].<ref name="O:FWLp3">''Objectives: Free Worlds League'', p. 3: "Industrial Update"</ref> Umka was one of many worlds to be struck during the wave of [[Bloody Tricentennial]] attacks that swept across the Inner Sphere in the wake of the fall of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate]]. The city of Deep Hamilton was hit by a number of bomb blasts in the early hours of the 12th of October [[3080]] that killed more than 1200 people and devastated the commercial district of the city; this was followed by an attack that breached a major dam near the city later in the day, flooding the city. The breaching of the dam was witnessed during a live broadcast of the Umka World News local news network being presented by [[Julian Costamayor]] and his news team, who were most likely killed in the resulting flooding.<ref name="J:FRp19+">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', pp. 19–20: "Terrorists Flood Deep Hamilton"</ref> ===Military Deployment=== ====2577==== * [[Mieselsen's Marauders]]<ref name="H:RWp150">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 150: "Magistracy Of Canopus Front (Jump-Off-2582)"</ref> * [[First Canopian Light Horse]] (2 [[battalion|battalions]])<ref name="H:RWp97">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 97: "Umka (August-October 2577)"</ref> ====2764==== * [[41st Jump Infantry Division]]<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 254: "SLDF - Free Worlds League Military Command Map"</ref> ====2765==== * [[Twenty-fourth Marik Militia]]<ref name="FR2765:FWLMp10A">''Field Report 2765: FWLM'', p. 10: "Regimental Status"</ref> ====2786==== * Twenty-fourth Marik Militia<ref name="FSWp138">''First Succession War'', p. 138: "First Succession War Deployment Table - FWLM"</ref> ====3054==== * [[Third Free Worlds Legionnaires]] (2nd Battalion)<ref name=OR37>''Objective Raids'', p. 37: "Free Worlds League Deployment Table"</ref> ====3079==== * Elements of [[Eighteenth Marik Militia]]<ref>''Field Report: FWLM'', p. 15: "Non-Aligned Forces"</ref> ====3085==== * [[Pandora's Box]] (1 [[Battalion]])<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 160: "Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> ====3145==== * [[Kraken Unleashed]]<ref name=FM:3145p182>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 182: "Notable Mercenary Forces - Free Worlds League"</ref> ===Geography=== Umka is a water-rich world where the major landmasses are chains of islands.<ref name="H:RWp97"/> The major landmasses are named Adriatic, Barajevo, Meljak, Sava, Velimer and Vranic.<ref name=O:FWLp30/> ===Planetary Locations=== * Beevale: The main location or garrison of the planetary militia, located on Vranic.<ref name=O:FWLp30/> * Deep Hamilton: a major city on Umka, devastated during the Bloody Tricentennial attacks.<ref name="J:FRp19+"/> * Shenville: the planetary capital city, located on Barajevo; Shenville is also home to the Kerr-McGinniss manufacturing facilities.<ref name=O:FWLp30/> ===Companies and Industries=== * [[Kerr-McGinniss]]<ref>''Objectives: Free Worlds League'', p. 30: "Kerr-McGinniss"</ref> ===Image gallery=== ==Map Gallery== <div class="system-map-gallery"></div> == Nearby Systems == <!-- NOTE: This table is automatically generated by BattleTechWiki:Project_Planets/Mapping, and any edits to this section may be overwritten at any time by a bot --> {|class="wikitable nearby-systems" style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 1px solid black;" !
