System: Asellus Borealis

[3014] During Anton Marik’s Revolt, some worlds sided with the would-be Captain-General’s forces voluntarily. Others had to be coerced by a show of military might. In the case of Asellus Borealis, the planet’s local militia declared for Anton at the very start of the revolt.

Rushed from Stewart, the Juggernaut landed on Asellus Borealis in July 3014, only to meet with fierce resistance from the militia. Initially the Juggernaut’s BattleMechs dominated the fighting, but when the rebels went to ground and launched a guerrilla campaign, the Stewart Dragoons regiment found itself ill suited to the task of rooting out small cells of resistance from the towering residential blacks of Asellus Borealis’ cities. Months of bombings, gas attacks, and sniper activity inflicted heavy casualties on the loyalists.

By September 3015, the loyalist Juggernaut regiment was still bogged down in fighting guerrilla forces. The arrival of a SAFE anti-terrorist taskforce finally gave the loyalists the skills and equipment needed to quell the rebellion on this world.
