By the [[twenty-fourth century]] Errai was already a wealthy independent world, and shortly after Errai had signed a mutual defense pact with the nearby worlds of Helen and [[Quentin]] it was targeted for conquest by [[Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] of the newly formed Terran Hegemony. Having secured his hold over all of the worlds within the rump state of the [[Terran Alliance]], McKenna began a "Campaign of Persuasion" to bring other former Alliance worlds and independent worlds into the Hegemony through military force, and the three allied worlds of Errai, Helen and Quentin were his first targets.<ref name="SLSBp16">''The Star League'', p. 16: "Terra's Errant Flock"</ref> |
| − | In March [[2316]] | + | In March [[2316]] McKenna attacked the Errai system with a large fleet of [[WarShip|WarShips]], and despite knowing that there was little chance of resisting the invasion the leaders of each of the three allied worlds planned to teach McKenna a lesson; all three worlds converted fleets of cargo and interplanetary courier ships into fighting vessels by adding lasers and missile tubes to battle in space, and all three worlds beefed up their ground forces with large militia forces of trained personnel augmented by volunteers. The colonists on Errai fought a dogged, even fanatical, campaign of resistance against the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] before finally being conquered, and the resistance offered by those on Errai taught the HAF a number of harsh lessons.<ref name="SLSBp16"/> |

* Beginning with ''Technical Readout: 3050'', the idea that around the Fourth Succession War Errai was a Draconis Combine world entered into the lore. This was later corrected in ''Technical Readout: 3050 Update'' as misdirection to throw MIIO off the trail of the ''Hatamoto-Chi'' being produced on Luthien which was then picked up by one of Adept Merle Jimmus' Acolytes. This error appeared in a few other places such as the ''Tactical Handbook'' and more recently the ''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)''. In light of the MIIO disinformation retcon and the plethora of sources to the contrary the corrected history will be used above, but the alternative information will be documented here: | * Beginning with ''Technical Readout: 3050'', the idea that around the Fourth Succession War Errai was a Draconis Combine world entered into the lore.

** The [[Draconis Combine]] conquered Errai during the [[Fourth Succession War]] and made an effort to root out the embedded corruption and install a government more in keeping with the typical Combine style. As a part of these efforts many of the nightclubs and casinos established during the previous three centuries vanished, but a combination of entrepreneurs and engineers from the Combine reopened and upgraded a local [[AgroMech]] plant under the name of the [[Maltex Corporation]], a former Star League era BattleMech manufacturer. This upgraded factory went on to produce the new ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]'', based loosely on the ''[[Charger]]'' [[BattleMech]].
