Rim Worlds Republic History

Founded in 2250, the Rim Worlds was a ruled by the Durant family until Lady Durant passed the mantle of leadership to the Amaris family. The Amaris family ruled the Rim Worlds with an iron hand until 2779 when General Kerensky ordered the deaths of the known Amaris family. A Durant descendant was found by Kerensky and installed as Govenor of the Rim Worlds.

Douglas Durant gathered shattered divisions and regiments and began to reconstitute the republic forces knowing that Lyran or Conbine interest in Republic worlds would spark a new conflict. By taking the Amaris Dragoons and renaming them the Republic Dragoons, Durant was using them as showcase regiments to project strength when there was none. While publicity was all on the Dragoons regiments, Douglas was also rebuilding shattered divisions of mech and infantry to defend the Republic. Sadly his goals were interupted when in 2784, just 5 years after the end of the Amaris conflict, General Kerensky and over 80% of the Star League Defense Force disappeared from the inner sphere. At this time only 2 battlemech divisions and 4 various infantry division were reformed. Also 12 battlemech regiments were reconstituted and guarding various worlds against Lyran and Combine aggression.

In October of 2784 Lyran forces crossed our borders and began an invasion of Republic space. The worlds of Barcelona, Black Earth, Beta VII and Malibu were targets of the Lyran war machine. Standing in their way was the 1st Battlemech division, 1st and 2nd mechanized infantry, and 1st infantry divisions. Barcelona was deemed important by General Knute Muse and transferred both the 1st mechanized and 1st infantry to defend it, he also sent the 1st battlemech division to defend Black Earth. Beta VII was left with only the 4th Dragoons and 2nd Fusiliers to defend it with. Also House Kurita looking for reveng on the death of family members in the care of Amaris decided to attack the Republic. attacking the worlds of Icar, Star's End, Butte Hold and Gustrell.

The defenders of these worlds included the still assembling 3rd mechanized infantry division (50% strength), the recently activated 1st jump division (75% strength), 1st and 3rd regulars, 2nd and 4th light lancers. the 3rd MID was on Icar, the 1st JID was on Gustrell, 1st regular and 2nd light lancer was on Star's End and the 3rd regular adn 4th lancer on Butte Hold. Draconis attack forces included the 1st & 4th Rasalhague division, 1st thru 3rd Sword of light regiments, 1st Benjamin Regulars, 1st Galedon Regulars, 1st Pesht Regulars and the 1st Arkad Legion. Also a large naval contingent was sent to help pacify worlds and destroy enemy forces.

Older ships mothballed years earlier were reactivated for use by the Combine High Command and sent to the Republic front, while newer warships were sent against the Federated Suns and Lyran Commonwealth.

i was asked in the very first incarnation of this, if it was resonable to rebuild lost units. well it is kinda hard to rebuild destroyed divisions when only 1 to 2% percent survive a conflict, also the new division and regiments are already in the formation equiping process.
when at a later date, possible a few lost regiments will be reformed and reconstituted but as for reconstitution of lost divisions, i would say no.

On Barcelona our forces were subjected to heavy orbital bombardment and aerofighter attacks before Commonwealth forces landed. The only available defense against the warships was the 1st Battle Squadron consisting of an Centurion Cruiser (Hapenstance), two Swiftling Destroyers (Swif Prey, Swift Kill)and an Barricuda Corvette(Depletor). The 1st Battle Squadron engaged the Commonwealth armada which consited of the Intrepid Class (Invincable), 2 Valkyrie Destroyers (Valkyrie, Warrior) and an Mosquito Class (Bug Bite) also there were close to 16 jumpships present. (2 Star Lords, 1 Monolith, 10 Invaders, 2 Merchant and 1 Scout).

The Centurion and the Swiftlings quickly jumped in system to challenge the Commonwealth ship leaving the Barricada to jump in and attack the jumpships. When the Republic warships appeared the Commonwealth squadron turned to attack the enemy warships, when they were far enough away from the jumpships a signal was sent to the corvette to attack. The Invincable clashed with the Hapenstance and the fight was furious, both ships scoring heavy hits, the swiftling destroyers engaged the valkyrie destroyers and moquito corvette. the swiftlings concentrated their firepower on the mosquito and destroyed her, the valkyries responded with fire and missle broadsides. leaving one swiftling damaged and the other swinging around for another attack. The damaged swiftling let loose the aerofighters that it held in its launch bays, soon the combined aerofighter and warship attacks left one valkyrie crippled and the other fighting a running battle. The Invincable was able to take the punishment of the Hapenstance and dished out her own destruction.

Both ships were heavily damaged Port on the Hapenstance, Starboard on the Invincable with engine damage also taken, the captain of the Hapenstance hailed the captain of the Invincable and asked that a he be allowed to leave the field of battle and repair battle damage as the Invincables captain was about to reply a distress call came from the dropship fleet stating a pirate ship was attacking them and had already destroyed two jumpships, crippled two more and was attacking three more.

On the Combine side of the war things went horrible wrong from day one. Nukes and biochemical warfare was the norm for the demonic dragon warmachine. on Gustrell the 1st JID prepared for most anything that could be throwed at them, except biochemical agents. Learning from the Taurians and Canopians the Draconis Armed forces launched several missiles containing a very harmfull chemical, when used could wipe out an entire division, and did. The 1st never had a chance, as soon as the chemical warheads detonated adn spread the green mist over the fort and city they were garrisoning, the 1st JID died at their post, along with 34,000 civilians.

On Icar the 3rd MID was consolidating its forces when a frantic call came over the HPG network from Gustrell, stating that the Combine forces were attacking with biological weapons, a HPG tech was able to dispatch a quick message before the green chemical mist overtook him. enraged at the news of the attack, the commander of the 3rd, one Major General Henrich Von Jasom, quickly called all active senior officers and devised a plan of attack should the Combine forces attack. Meanwhile in Icar local space Combine jumpships appeared and dispatched their dropships. the Combine sent a large force to take the planet adn destroy the 3rd. Combine forces were 1st Benjamin Regulars, 1st Galedon Regulars, 1st Pesht Regulars and 30 infantry and armor regiments.

Major General Jasom sent all available fighters to slow down the dropships, knowing that the conventional aircraft would be destroyed, he still had no choice but to by time.

Of the two conventional aerowings that attacked the incoming Combine dropship, only 3 lances would survive the slaughter. Combine aerofighters and accurate dropship firing decimated the republic aeroforces. Major-General Jasom set his infantry and armor forces, with support from a light battlemech regiment, 5 miles from Fort Icar. then he released a mech regiment to attack the dropship landing sites, hoping that this might forstall a massed Kurita attack against the defensive line.

About noon the 15th Republic Light Horse found the still landing Kurita assault force, splitting up to lance size units the 15th launched its attack. at 4pm the 15th was no more. though the 15th was wiped out they managed to destroy 4 mech battalions, two infantry regiments and one armor regiment(all still aboard their dropships). when the Kurita commander saw his dropships being attacked he ordered all available troops to disembark triple time.

total tally from attack

1st Benjamin Regulars
1 battalion lost

1st Galedon Regulars
2 battalion lost

1st Pesht Regulars

30 infantry and armor regiments.
13 infantry left

Meanwhile back on barcelona, the Commonwealth dropships and aerofighters were approaching the world like a tidal wave heading for a beach. Major-General Becky Kicken sent the 1st mechanized infantry division to deploy against the supposed landing sites of the Steiner forces. keeping the 1st infantry division back as reserves in Fort Barcelona. when the attack force began to enter the planets atmoshpere Major-General Becky unleashed her 6 fighter wings. unkown to her was that the steiner high command sent 7 fighter wings to escort the 100+ dropships. the dogfight that ensued was legendary adn costly for both sides, but Commonwealth forces prevailed (of the 6 aerofighter wings only two and half were left in fighting condition, one was forced to be decomed due to lack of parts.

wolfcannon · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2011, 06:07:18 PM »

Barcelona proved to be a stalling point for the Commonwealth forces. While fighting the Republic forces, the Commonwealth came under attack from a Combine task force. As the combine aerofighters pounded the lyran transports, the lyran commander contacted the local republic commander to propose a cease-fire and a joint defense against the combine forces, the rim commander answered saying "we will fight for the sovereignty of our nation not for your life."

That day the Rim World lost the battle for Barcelona but preserved it fighting forces by withdrawing its fleet and survivng ground and Mech forces. The opening shots of the succession wars proved to a total disaster for the Republic. Losses were high, but morale was higher as the remaining populace saw Douglas Durant as the Republics savior. Douglas on the other hand was a complete wreck by the third year of the succession wars, his son Jacob was 17 and running the parliment and armed forces while he(Douglas) was in a state of delusional shock. All of Jacobs work was credited to his father. Jacob with doctors help soon had Douglas under medical control, enough that Douglas could face the people but not the presidency.

Within the second year of the 1st Succession War the Republic lost 30% of her worlds to Steiner and Combine forces. President Douglas died due to medical complications that were never divulged( he committed suicide). Young Jacob Now 19yrs old and fully in control addressed the Senate and announced his taking over his fathers position of president of the republic. Not supprisingly the senate chose to keep the young leader at the helm of the deteroating war effort. One of the first acts the new president enacted was the relocating of vital industry and populace to the deep periphery distracts. After that he recalled forces fighting on worlds deemed acceptable losses and sent units needing reforming to the deep periphery district and called for the formation of additional units to fight off the invading forces.

---------------------------------------------------------------
The losses so far:
The Second BattelMech Division(The Long Knives) 70% destroyed, Disbanded(remnants folded into rebuilding units)
The 2nd Republic Mechanized Infantry Division (The Knight Rangers) 65% destroyed, Disbanded(remnants folded into rebuilding units)

2787: The Year of Death

By his 19th birthday young Jacob, now a seasoned mechwarrior, is firmly in control of the Republic Senate and has successfully defended several worlds from attack. With the Draconis Combine and Lyran Commonwealth forces fighting each other now the Republic is now safe for a little while while the Dragon and Merchants pummel each other instead of Republic Forces. Though the recall of heavily damaged units is the prudent thing to do, Jacob is firm in his resolve that no frontline unit currently one jump away from the active war front is to be moved for fear of attack.

The Commonwealth was lossing ground in the war with the Combine, but was winning the war with the Republic. All the former worlds from Black Earth were now Commonwealth worlds and hundreds of loyal Republic soldiers were dead. On May 8, 2787 the Commonwealth launched a new offensive against the Republic hitting the world of Malibu and Beta VII. The 1st RID and the 1st JID were both on Malibu. Commander Tolathi Vahn of the 1st RID sent a message to the Republic High Command requesting aid stating at least one full battlemech division strength force was attacking Malibu and current defense forces were inadequate to defend world. 2 weeks later a jumpship arrived with supplies and was promptly destroyed by Commonwealth Warships.

2788-2794 Years of Despair

from 2788 through 2794 the Republic forces have been fighting for nearly six yrs. Many casualties were from soldiers cracking under the pressure of constant warfare. From 2788 until 2794 Republic worlds fell to Commonwealth forces like ripe wheat during harvest. The Draconis Combine seeing the Commonwealth stretch their force thin launched a new offensive and completly smashed through thin border forces, while sending a small task force of 25 regiments and two squadrons of warships support. Retaking many of the previous worlds they left after their biological weapons attacks. Combine forces attack Apollo in late 2788 with horrendous losses on both sides. The 1st BMD was on planet along with the 3rd MID. 18 various regiments along with one warship squadron and accompining jumships arrived in system and proceeded to launch an invasion fleet. A Republic warships squadron engaged the Combine squadron and in a running battle of three days destroyed all Combine warships and 44% of the jumpship fleet. The Combine dropships and fighter escorts came under heavy attack from Republic fighters. A dogfight continued throught the atmosphere and Combine fighters won but were unable to provide support after due to severe losses. The 1st BMD and 3rd MID attack the dropships and the Combine forces before they hit the ground. by 5:00 am the next day the 3rd was gutted, while all Combine forces were wiped out.
