== Planetary History ==
===Star League===
During the final years of the [[Star League]], the [[40th Dragoon Regiment]] of the [[XXXVI Corps (Star League)]], attacked a stronghold of the Hand Vrijheid, a terrorist group, in the city of Nieuwegein.  The fighting destroyed large sections of the city and killed many civilians, but did little to disrupt the actions of the terrorists.<ref>Field Manual: SLDF, p. 192, "Independent Regiments"</ref>

=== Fourth Succession War ===
Utrecht was attacked as part of the wave of attacks launched during [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]] in October [[3028]], to exploit the successes of the first wave of attacks<ref name="NAIS4SWp44"/> with the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] deploying the [[Fourteenth Donegal Guards]], to capture the planet.<ref name="NAIS4SWp44">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 44-45, "Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG"</ref> The fourteenth had assumed control of the Utrecht when the [[DCMS]] counterattacked in December, dropping the [[Seventh Sword of Light]] on the planet.<ref name="NAIS4SWp61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 61, "End of the Offensive"</ref> The battle for control of Stanzach bogged down and the planet was still contested when the lull between operations began in early [[3029]].<ref name="FSWMAv2p61">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 61, "Trellshire and Tamar Theaters"</ref> 

The campaign for control of Utrecht promptly became something of a nightmare for both commands; ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Moshio Yodetobo]] surprised [[Colonel]] Hardy when they chose to reinforce the planetary militia, but the rocky surface of Utrecht made for terrible fighting conditions. The Seventh Sword occupied the Labbie Plateau and the planetary capital city located there, Naragajan. Utrecht represented the tip of the deepest salient into Combine space and Yodoteobo was confident that the Fourteenth wouldn't be able to remain so deep in enemy territory.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2'', p. 70, "Utrecht"</ref>

Hardy's forces captured the city of Bandor, located on the other side of the world to Naragajan, hoping to draw the Seventh Sword out of it's positions on the Labbie Plateau, but Yodetobo was willing to cede control of the rest of the planet if it meant retaining control of Naragajan. Hardy had little choice but to launch what became known as the "March of Stones", a grueling cross-country trek that saw the Fourteenth subject to repeated attacks by Combine [[aerospace fighter]]s as it moved towards Naragajan. The March took five weeks, but exposed the flaw in Yodatobo's plans when Hardy was able to encircle Naragajan and block the roads leading to the capital. Deprived of supply lines, Yodetobo quickly determined that Naragajan's food supply would only last a week, and the aerospace forces that had been so useful during the March had been rendered ineffective as the Fourteenth hugged the rocky sides of the plateau. After a week-long siege, Yodetobo had no choice other than to launch an assault to try and break out through the Fourteenth's lines.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/>

Yodetobo launched an all-out assault on the Fourteenth's forces located east of Naragajan, where the Fourteenth discovered that the rocky terrain made it just as easy to hold the low ground as the high ground; while the Fourteenth's troops held the Seventh Sword's lead companies to the east, the Fourteenth's elements located to the west of Naragajan charged up the plateau and into the city, plowing through the handful of Sword 'Mechs guarding the western approach and onto the airfield where the Combine fighters were refueling. The Fourteenth quickly destroyed the grounded fighters even as [[DropShip]]s landed on the eastern end of the Plateau to provide the Seventh Sword with an escape route. The Fourteenth had captured Utrecht and defeated the Seventh Sword, but had taken higher overall losses than their opponents during the campaign.<ref name="FSWMAv2p70"/>

===Clan Invasion===
During the [[Clan Invasion]], Utrecht surrendered without a fight to [[Clan Ghost Bear]] in March [[3052]]. [[Khan]] [[Bjorn Jorgensson]] personally signed the treaty of surrender when his [[Ourse Keshik (Clan Ghost Bear)|Ourse Keshik]] landed on the planet.  Rich in natural resources necessary for the construction of [[Ferro-Fibrous Armor]], the Ghost Bears have since set up a large mining operation to extract the valuable ore.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 36</ref>
