In 2795, following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the Federated Suns intended to capture the politically significant [[Chesterton]] system. Planned by Quinn, the operation was intended to take advantage of the AFFS' continuing focus on trying to resist the massive [[Draconis Combine]] invasion of the Federated Suns, which stood poised to capture [[New Avalon]] itself. The first worlds to be targeted were [[Caselton]] and [[Mirach]]; Quinn assigned mercenary commands to the invasions, units that had originally been [[Star League Defense Force]] commands, and the defending forces were in a brittle state thanks to the damage the Combine invasion had inflicted on supply lines and constant efforts to aid forces fighting on Combine-occupied or contested worlds. The result in both cases was a swift victory for the Confederation, with the mercenaries taking the worlds and then [[CCAF]] line regiments moving into secure them; by August the invasion forces were ready to launch fresh attacks. The second wave of attacks targeted [[Demeter]] and Farwell; elements of the [[Northwind Highlanders]] were assigned to attack Farwell, where they once again found themselves fighting demoralized and understrength AFFS forces. By April [[2796]] Farwell was securely held by Capellan forces, allowing the CCAF to move on to the invasion of the nearby [[Sanilac]] system.<ref name="FSWp81"/> | In 2795, following the appointment of [[Sandol Quinn]] as regent to [[Ilsa Liao]], the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] launched an invasion of the Federated Suns intended to capture the politically significant [[Chesterton]] system.

The first worlds to be targeted were [[Caselton]] and [[Mirach]]; Quinn assigned mercenary commands to the invasions, units that had originally been [[Star League Defense Force]] commands, and the defending forces were in a brittle state thanks to the damage the Combine invasion had inflicted on supply lines and constant efforts to aid forces fighting on Combine-occupied or contested worlds. The result in both cases was a swift victory for the Confederation, with the mercenaries taking the worlds and then [[CCAF]] line regiments moving into secure them; by August the invasion forces were ready to launch fresh attacks. The second wave of attacks targeted [[Demeter]] and Farwell; elements of the [[Northwind Highlanders]] were assigned to attack Farwell, where they once again found themselves fighting demoralized and understrength AFFS forces. By April [[2796]] Farwell was securely held by Capellan forces, allowing the CCAF to move on to the invasion of the nearby [[Sanilac]] system.<ref name="FSWp81"/> | ||

Farwell is a harsh, cold world. The high oxygen and low temperatures take a heavy toll on machinery and manpower. Life is only possible with specialized equipment and habitats. However, the rare earth and petrochemical deposits on world, and the crews that run the mines, are highly valuable and thus need to be protected.{{cn}} | Farwell is a harsh, cold world.
