Van Diemen IV
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard
Planetary History
Second Succession War
Van Diemen IV was conquered by the Capellan Confederation Armed Forces in September 2838 while the Free Worlds League was under a communications interdiction imposed by ComStar. The loss of Van Diemen - after a battle that saw five battalions of House Marik troops and a regiment from the Fusiliers of Oriente destroyed - was one of the defeats that led to Captain-General Charles Marik being forced to capitulate to ComStar's terms for ending the interdiction.[15]
Fourth Succession War
Goaded by requests from Archon Katrina Steiner and First Prince Hanse Davion, and aided by advice from General Ardan Sortek of the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns, Supreme Lord Pavel Ridzik of the newly-formed Tikonov Free Republic decided to launch an offensive against the Free Worlds League in the second quarter of 3029. Ridzik's offensive targeted four League worlds, one of which was Van Diemen IV. Van Diemen IV became a target when the Free Worlds League Military redeployed away the Marik Guard for a planned offensive against the Lyran Commonwealth; this redeployment prompted Ridzik to send the Fifth Republican BattleMech Regiment to conquer the world, not anticipating any particular problems. The Fifth was a green regiment formed from survivors and cadets, and had more trouble with the invasion than expected because Ridzik and his advisers were unaware that the FWLM had deployed four front-line armored regiments to Van Diemen IV to replace the Marik Guard. Both the League regiments and the Fifth Republican were unfamiliar with the terrain, but the Republicans eventually overwhelmed the tank regiments and seized the planet for the Republic.[45]
Operation GUERRERO
Van Diemen IV was invaded in the Free Worlds League's first wave of Operation GUERRERO by the Tenth and Twenty-third Marik Militia, the Third Oriente Hussars and the First Sirian Lancers. The defending FedCom forces held out until Free Worlds League Military reinforcements arrived.[46]
The Jihad
The Word of Blake attacked Van Diemen IV in September 3069, breaking the 3rd Oriente Hussars as they did so.[35] Having been occupied by the Word of Blake, Van Dieman IV was targeted for liberation by the allied coalition assembled by Devlin Stone; coalition forces assaulted Van Dieman IV on the 1st of July 3076 as one of four planetary assaults on Protectorate worlds that took place simultaneously, with the other strikes targeting the Al Na'ir, Rio, and Rochelle systems.[47][48]

Notes
- The Tikonov Free Republic invasion of Van Diemen IV during the Fourth Succession War has been dated to June 3030 based on the detail given of the timings of the Republican offensive against Wasat in NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2[57] as the four planetary assaults appear to have been launched concurrently.
