In [[3039]], Athenry was a world covered in oceans, with many archipelagos. During the [[War of 3039]] two regiments of the [[Blue Star Irregulars]] landed on the world. The garrison units surrendered quickly and the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] appointed a military governor. The Blue Star Irregulars then began to build a rapport with the local citizens by not acting like the stereotypical mercenary unit depicted by the [[Voice of the Dragon]].<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 34</ref> The [[DCMS]] counterattack landed several months later, and consisted of the [[Twelfth Dieron Regulars]] and [[Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars]]. The DCMS units had a rough landing, with the Irregulars' aerospace assets heavily damaging two DropShips and forcing an ''[[Excalibur (DropShip class)|Excalibur]]''-class DropShip to ditch in the Hoboken Sea.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 79</ref> The DCMS units were equipped with submarine and hydrofoils, and used these speedy assets to strike at Irregulars bases across the planet. The Irregulars were eventually pushed back into a small area of the world, and the Regulars began a siege. This siege lasted for three months, but the Irregulars couldn't remain in place without inflicting heavy civilian casualties. To avoid this, the Irregulars arranged a truce with the Dieron Regulars and left the world to the Dragon.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 80</ref>

By [[3050]], Athenry's government had devised a new means to bring revenue to its depleted coffers. A number of its fleet of airships were converted into luxury tourist air cruise liners. These ships would draw tourists to Athenry throughout the [[Dieron Prefecture]] to less expensive vacation cruises, helping to bolster the planet's sagging industries.<ref name=TROVARp104/>
