However the frequency of the raids by now hated [[House Davion]] forces and lack of reinforcements over the years, led the government to a brief declare independence in early [[2802]].  Athenry being a vital source of water during the Succession Wars, caused the Combine to dispatch the [[Fourth Sword of Light]] to the planet to end the rebellion. The planetary government was forced to commit to a ''seppuku'' ceremony, to redeem their honor lost in their betrayal to the Draconis Combine.  By the last decade of the [[thirtieth century]], Athenry's germanium ore deposits would end up being mined out and its importance interstellar-wise would decline only having singular raid by [[Federated Suns]] for the valuable ore in [[2999]].<ref name=TROVARp104>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 104: "Dawn Treader Cargo Airship"</ref>
