 The Commonwealth began rapid expanction under
President Polk in 2806. He Set a treend to expand the colonies to
fifteen systems by the year 3025. For the most part the colonies
were content to be left alone, as the fear was that thier weapons
technology eventhough funding for its research was cut back
dramatically did indeed increased, would be discovered by a
sucessor state and be used to inflict more harm on Humanity.
In 2813 the eighth planet in the Colonies, Allura, discovered
a chemical that would harden to a solid, This natural chemical
was named tarque (later it would be know its the same as Hargel).
This Chemical was incorprated into all jumpships and space suits
to seal breaches. This was a boon the economies of the planets
and made shipping safer.
Under President Harmen Lincoln the colonies continued
with Polk's expanctionist philosophy and also created an
inteligence service as a concern arosed in his administration that
the Inner Sphere may be looking for them. To decide weather the
military should be expanded from two brigades a project began.
Called Project Mayflower this would send a jumpship back to the
inner sphere full of crops and sundry goods to trade. The
Merchants would spend a few weeks in the inner sphere
gathering Inteligence then return by the same route back to the
colonies. In June 2820 the CICS Bellview disguised as the
Merchant "Mayflower" jumped back to the Inner sphere.
In six months the Mayflower went around Human space
gathering data very carefully to advoid being destroied by the
sucessor states as they waged war. In the reports made as it
returned, showed that the Inner Sphere is destroying itself at a
rate thought impossible. Reports show that ComStar is the former
Depmartment of communications only it became a religous order.
With this information it was decided that the army would not grow
as long as Activity remained within the inner sphere.
However this would not be the only "Mayflower" mission
until the year 3022 there would be an intel gathering mission
once every year to monitor the sucessor states and what appears
to be the onle possible threat to thier security, ComStar. In the
year 2830 consern that Lyrans pushing Pirates deep into the
perphery and into Commonwealth Space Causes a growth of the
Army to one Army and a Fleet Squadron for defence.
In addition to the Inteligence Gathering missions, the
Commonwealth decided to look for any other Star League
Colonies or facilities that may exist in the deep perphery, the
Depmartment was called: The Depmarment for Space
Exploration and Sciences, DSES. This Service charted many
planets and found a few interesting planets.
As the Second Sucession war were raging, a military
renasaince began as old mechs, vechicles, and ships were
brought out from Mothballs and refurbished. These were
upgraded to new technology as the army expanded. Furthermore
new mechs and tanks were produced to equip thier forces.
As the Colonies Matured new experiments came about,
Sanctuary became the Home of an excremental Space colony to
test concepts, to see what methods they could use to create
artifical gravity, to see how humans could live and work in space
better. This was placed right next to a spacedock building new
Jumpships to transport raw materails throughout the systems.
The only restriction Jump crews had was they could not leave the
CIC under any circumstances as the risk of being discovered was
too great.
In the military Excersices of 2845 the crash of four LAM's
within the four weeks of the excerisies causes the General Grant
to Remove all LAM's from active service furthermore all LAM's
were scrapped in favor of conventional mechs.
As the years passed all seemed content until 2985 when a
Comstar ship jumped into orbit of Sanctuary. The Ship is
overpowered quickly and its crew held in Fort Defiance Military
base for questioning. Debreifing the Acolytes the military learns
of ComStar fearing an Invasion from the perphery sent explorers
out to find any one in the perphery. Sadily the Acolytes refused to
join the Commonwealth society. They would live out thier lives in
a well furbished prison as no one can learn about the CIC.
This set off fear that ComStar may send out more ships to
explore and come across more Commenwealth Worlds or for that
matter conquor them. An expanction program increased the Army
to two Armies and made up a whole fleet complete with
Battleships to small corvets.
But the suspected Invasion did not for many years and
when it did occur it was not from Comstar. On December 3rd of
3054 an unkonwn force jumped in the system of Dragon's Breath.
The Invaders identified themselves as the Jade Falcons. Battles
were fought in space between the first Space Control Squadron
and the two Congress class Cruisers. The Space battle resulted
in the capture of one cruiser ans two jumpships but the dropships
were on thier way down.
As soon as the falcon's landed Artillery and aircraft were
directed in from sattelite. These strikes hurt the Falcons and
delayed them as the troops of the third Divisional Combat Team
set up to engage them. Light and medium mechs were use to bait
the Highly agressive falcons into a trap. The soilders of the Third
Divisional Combat team pummbled the Falcons as they came out
of the forest on to the Devanou plains. Battle mechs supported by
hull down Alcorn tanks, brukes, and Ontos tanks hit the flanks of
the falcons hard. The Falcons who had experence with old Star
League and Inner Sphere mechs were un prepared for thier fight
with commonwealth forces. The Falcons learned that thier Mechs
which could be simular to a D series Warhammer actually had
more armor, and worse yet more firepower and over heated less
thanks to the use of Ferro Fiberous armor and doubble heat sinks.
The Mechs would still come at them even after tanking massive
amounts of dammage and still function.
After three minutes the defenders began a stragtic retreat
as to adhere to a plan that would hurt the falcons slowly. For the
next week Light and Medium forces played hit and run with the
falcons, though the light forces took heavy losses the ambushes
they lead the falcons into were worth it as the Falcons lost mech
after precous mech. Soon the final battle began at Blue Stone
National Park. Mechs hidded by the heat of the hot springs and
the metal in the roocks waite for the command trinary to pass
thier way onto a Commonwealth FARP loaded with
ammomuntion, this was the perfect bait as the falcons charged at
it. But the falcons knew it was a trap and called us out.
They challenged us to a "trial of poession" for the
Ammomuntion, If they won they would get the supplies, if we won
then we would get them as bondsman and they would surrender
mechs and elementals. THe falcons were sure in thier knowelage
of dueling but we knew the terrain and know how to use it to our
advantage. We agreed to thier challenge. it would be hours and
we would loose half of our first company, but we managed to
destroy the falcons as we would playcat and mouse slowly
weakening them and then taking cover behind a rock formation.
As we knew the terrain we knew when the geysers would errupt ,
A Dire wolf class assualt mech stumbled into a geyser and fell on
its back over heated and surrendered as a Highlander pilot
pointed its gauss rifle at the head of the mech. In all we won the
challenge and got the mechs and powered armor.
The Commonwealth got a look at the Falcon Omnimechs
and took them apart to see how did they work. With the help of
the Jade Falcon warriors and techs we beagan producing our
own omnimechs. The quarter master fell in love with omnimechs
as it could reduce the lines of spare parts by making a "jack of all
trades" omnimech.
In addition our Industry was advanced enough to begin
producing the Clan Elemental battle armor. With the Falcons
showing us how it is built, we discovered that thier Hargel and our
tarque is the same thing. This was a boon to future suit
production as our troops would survive longer. Though because
our Infantry are not the genetically engineered giants that the clan
elementals are our Infantry is not as adept as compared to the
clans, but compared to the inner sphere this is eons of what they
have.
Finally with our orbital facilities and growing number of
advanced industries we were not only able to make small
numbers of Clan Mechs,we have the capacity to build clan
componets, though it is extremly expensive to make these
componets.
The Congress voted near unaniously to expand the army
from two armies to six active duty armies and four Reserve
armies. The Militarization called the "Regan project" expanded
ship yards to build numerous jumpships and warships, Our fleet
was expanded to a total of four fleets. This Project took ten years
to complete. In 3062 the congress and president decided with the
threat of another Jade Falcon incursion and the the curiosity of
the ComStar explorer Corps it was time that we could no longer
hide in the shadows. We sent out a jumpship to the Inner Sphere
to deliever Comstar a message.
Greetings, I am president Volken of the Commomwealth of
Indpendent colonies. For Hundreds of years we lived in exile from
the horrors raging the inner sphere. We are the Decendents of
the Star League who set up colonies in the deep Phephery as to
research in upmost secrecy. For Years we been watching waiting
to reveal ourselves as we feared the knowlege we knew would be
put to use by the various sucessor states to kill more human
beings and quite possibly our knowlege of both war and peaceful
sciences could have cause not only the beggining of a new war,
but the end of mankind. But with the hope of a new Star League
we will like to join and help bring a era of peace to all man kind.
However peace was not to be as the sucessor states fell
into another cycle of war. As we delt with the Starleague, we felt
as former Hegemony civilians it was our duty to serve this new
star league, both as citizens and as soilders. Some of our units
joined into SLDF peace keeping units to assist the SLDF regular
army units. Our Soilders bravely fought with the SLDF as we did
many years ago, our forces fought in the Chaos March to stop
capellian agression, We fought along the border with our old
nemesis, the Jade falcons.
However In the Government all was not quiet, the four major
political parties were debating weather to send suppilies to Victor
Davion (who was seen by the government as the Legitament
ruler) or to stay neutral and mind our own buinessess. However
the Adminstration at the time felt adventureous and that flexing
the arm could bring some respect. Historians would later Argue
this was done on purpose to get the Lyrans to attack first to justify
a "defensive" war. The mere fact we were begining to open a
dialogue with the Davionist forces made the LAAF was so
paranoid we would side with the Federated Suns, they Invaded
our realm. Under the codename of operation "carthridge" they
managed to sneak a Loki agent onto a Merchant Jumpship. By
recording the Systems he took in and out of the Commonwealth
by stow away on various jump ships they made a map. Archon
Katrina steiner decided to make a premptive strike and they sent
the 2 RCT's of the Donegal Guards to attack us. The LAAF had a
Fox Class corvette escourting the jumpships as a precaution, as
the LAAF never did have an accurate guess of our abilities as the
stowaway never got exact information of military capabilities.
Once again a Flotilla of Jumpships came in the
Commonwealth fleet spotted them. Forming attack formations to
attack the invaders. The battle was called the "great lyran turkey
shoot" as the Lyrans were simpily out matched. The Jumpships
and Drop ships never had a chance to get to planet side. The Fox
class only lasted a few minutes and the Lyrans that attempted to
enter the planet were destroyed by plantary defence sattelities
and aerospace elements, only a Company of mechs landed to be
engaged by the First Army and the First Reserve Army, needless
to say the Lyrans surrendered without a shot fired.
This Unprovoked attack (which the government welcomed
greatly, as the Regan Project had a hidden agenda- the
reconstruction of the Hegemony and the starleague) caused an
uproar as people were angered as the lyrans attacked our
Homeworlds. In Congress a Declariation of war was voted on and
unaniously passed. The Armies were mobilized and for the first
time an invasion force was sent out.
This became knows as the Six Weeks war where our armies
entered Lyran space and took planet after planet, Lyran
defenders could not withstand the sheer mass of our Omnimechs
and Battle mechs using Not only current IS technology but clan
technology as well. Our Mechwarriors though Not tested in
combate did exceptinally weall thanks to our intense training
effeorts we use. Our Green Lance Commanders fought like
veterans as we dove into the lyrans unprotected side as most
units were on the clan border and fighting davion insurgents. The
battles were brutal as we made it as far as florida and made a
bulge into the Lyran Alliance. We were sucessful but suppily
issues were becoming a hinderance to our campigns as we
learned about suppily chains, and how our forces would use
suppilies at a higher rate than what we would expect happen, this
would be vital for the next war. But Archon Katrina Steiner Made
a diplomatic plea to halt our war of vegeance.
We halted our drive into Lyran space and signed a peace
treaty ending the war. But this glavenized our people an the army
and navy will continue to grow, Thousands of mechs, tanks, and
battle armor are produced each year from our factories. Ship
construction is at a high mark as the economy is still at a war
footing as our people prepare for the next war. As For Our Lyarn
poessesions we turned them into a provience with planets now
being shifted to a democratic state (the nobles fled, smart move
as we planned to try any noble for crimes against peace) and is
the place where mutliple armies gather as our construction
projects turn these Lyran worlds into Worlds that would have
belonged to the Terran Hegemony during the Star league. We
began projects to win the minds of the people over to us, in fact
some of the planets are so welcoming that we were welcomed as
liberators of kathrine steiner, and that became a major Depot of
our military.

hostilities
Senator of Alysia: Why did you orderd a secession of
hostilities, we were winning, from what we know of our fighting
with the reformed SLDF, the sucessor states could easily be
taken by our troops?
President Sherridan: "The reason for Ending this was a

Senator of Dragon's Breath: But We have ample supplies
now? Why not send them to our forces.
 President sherridan: "Yes we did have supplies, but not
ships, only now we have the our small squadrons Potemkin Class
troop transports to carry the massive supplies between the
Homeland and the Proviance Of Rome [Captured Lyran space]. If
we wait until the year of 3069 we would in threoy have enough
Jumpships and Troop Carriers to move enough supplies and
troops from here to the front lines in our own version of the "red
ball express".
Senator of Alysia: Mr President, but we would not have an
excuse to declare war against the Lyran Commonwealth.
President Sheridan: "I asure you we may have one, troops
get bored, and Independent commanders may Raid into Lyran
space, the Lyrans will respond. Of course we can promiss those
would be punished to the Lyrans."
Holographic projector Goes online showing the inner
sphere.
President Sherridan: "As Is we have a plan to take the Lyran
commonwealth and then race into the Clan Occupation Zones,
which will end our fight with the Jade Falcons once and for all,
then we will move across the inner sphere from our holdings in
rome, which have also been producing war supplies in addition to
upgrading the planets. Ladies and Gentlemen This war plan
called OPlan Orange is the Retaking of the inner sphere, I have
seen the Corruption of this "star league" Chacellor Liao used it to
take the St Ives Compact, Coordinator Kurita took Lyon's thumb
this must End, I will not Have my soilders Fight for the greed of
those who made us Exiles here, the time to act is NOW!"
For the next two years Units were Sent into Rome under
Falsifed Unit Banners to decieve Lyran Inteligence to ingore a
massive military buildup as Raids and Counter raids into lyran
Space got more common. The most Famous of the raids was the
raid on Alarion. Jumpships carring the Entire 15th Armored
Division Jumped into System and Quickle overwhelmed the
defenders, The Forces Scoured the planet destroying any military
equipment before leaving back to Commonwealth borders.
This attack Provoked Peter Steiner into mobilizing against
our forces in Lyran space. This attack was what gave the
Commonwealth needed, an excuse for a premptive strike Also
what would never be known is that a Raid on Florida itself was
staged by the Commonwealth Inteligeance Agency this involved
mechs digused as lyran units to hit civilian areas. The Carniage
of this falsifed attack was so great it caused people to cry out for
war, even though it was the commonwealth who was primarly the
instagators. But the CIA did such a good job at digusing the LAAF
was wondering which unit did it and scrambled to identify if they
did raid into Commonwealth terroritory. But The CIA was ruthless,
before the raid they Found a Lone Lyran unit, Killed all the
mechwarriors and took thier mechs. The CIA planted the
mechwarriors remains at the scene creating a near perfect
forgery and framing of the Lyrans.
The military was given a go ahead to attack, and the Strike
to take the Lyran alliance was codenamed: "Operation
Alexander" as Alexander the great took the ancheint world by
storm and ruled it. When the word was given hundreds of ships
above the worlds began to move out. Each wave of warships
were supported by jumpships ferring supplies in a huge Chain
streching back to the home worlds.
Lyran regiments were Outnumbered at least 3 to one when
they fought against a brigade of battle mechs. The Battlemechs
of the Commonwealth were Far superior than what they faced the
clans with, our mechs in many cases were outfitted with Clan
technology and our own technology. The Divisional Combat
Teams wreck havoc with thier use of combined Arms tactics. The
Lyrans Learned that our soilders were more proficient in
combined arms as we used Aircraft to give close air support to
fast moving units. Worlds were over whelmed and quickly
conquored, tolken garrisons were left and the people were
actually given more rights than under the steiner-davions, the use
of PsyOps helped to convinced people to join our side as we
were liberators.
The First Army alond with the second and third armies
Raced across worlds to its target world of coventry while other
armies had target worlds, the 18th Army raced to Hesperous the
20th, 18th and the 21st and 24th armies would take the Honor of
Smahsing Tharkad and hopefully dealing a massive blow to
morale and allow the Commonwealth troops to race to the FWL
border and COZ. OPlan orange was revsed to take the perphery
which the perphery Campign began with Armies hitting pirate
worlds. The 11th Fleet came acorss a Word Of Blake Staging
area, and a battle erupted, the Number Of commonwealth ships
managed to blast the WOB back into the stone age with both
conventional weapons, and Nuclear weapons which were used
as soon as the WOB launched one at the CWS Shefeild, though
we loss the Shefeild we avenged her by killing every WOB ship
we came across, From prisoners and doccuments we learned of
other staging areas which were hit hard with nuclear weapons.
