Planetary History
War between the Star League and the Magistracy of Canopus was inevitable after the Magistracy joined the other Periphery nations in rejecting the Pollux Proclamation; Vakarel was an early target in the initial Star League Defense Force campaign against the Magistracy. The last of the systems to be invaded in the first wave of SLDF attacks, responsibility for capturing Vakarel fell to the 59th Brigade, one of three brigades that made up the Star League Defense Force 20th Division. The Magistracy Armed Forces were attempting to confuse the SLDF task force by making frequent troop redeployments in advance ofSLDF attacks; while Samuelson's Slaughterers had been garrisoning Vakarel when the war began, they'd been replaced by Mieselsen's Marauders prior to the 59th Brigade attack.[6][20]
While forcing the Marauders to retreat proved relatively easy for the 59th, securing the various mining operations within the system's asteroid belts was another matter entirely; forced to navigate within the fields hampered sensor performance and maneuverability, the bulk of the combat action fell to the marine detachments aboard the various SLDF WarShips, while the bulk of the 59th Brigade remained aboard their DropShips waiting for the rare call for them to deploy their firepower. Despite the asteroid clearance work being tedious and time-consuming, the 59th Brigade declared that the system had been occupied on the 11th of November 2577.[6]
It came as a great shock to the 59th Brigade when the combined MAF 1st and 2nd Fleets jumped in-system to launch a counter-attack on the 14th of November. The first time the MAF navy had attacked - the two fleets represented every MAF capital ship not permanently assigned to guarding key worlds - the combined force pressed the SLDF forces hard, striking throughout the system. The SLDF force had been operating in small formations to clear the system, and suffered significant losses at the hands of the Canopian navy; one detachment alone lost a corvette, five JumpShips as well as two battalions of embarked troops from the 59th Brigade. The SLDF WarShips, fighters and DropShips managed to drive the MAF ships off, but not before the Canopians had bloodied Star League.[6]
Despite having to cede control of the Vakarel system to the Star League, the MAF wasn't finished; in 2580, the 2nd Canopian Light Horse raided the system as part of a pattern of organized raids on Star League garrisons and supply lines throughout occupied space and the border regions of the Free Worlds League.[1]
The Magistracy of Canopus had 13 worlds annexed by the Free Worlds League, either during the Reunification War[7] or by Star League decree in 2602,[21] and Vakarel was one of these worlds.
