Inarcs was raided by the [[Blades of Death]] mercenaries-turned-pirate group in May [[3077]]; the pirate band struck at an [[Acrux Incorporated]] import warehouse located near the settlement of Oak Grove. The pirates managed to secure over 300 tons of loot from the warehouse, primarily nonperishable food, before they were driven off. Attacked initially by the Inarcs Militia, the resulting firefight damaged the nearby Oak Creek Power Relay Complex, disrupting power supplies to more than four million people on Inarcs for over a week and cost the Inarcs militia six vehicles and two [[BattleMech]]s, a substantial portion of their strength given that the total 'Mech complement of the militia was just eight 'Mechs. It was a massing of the Blackstone Highlanders that saw the Blades of Death finally retreat.<ref name="JHS:Tp28+">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', pp. 28–29: "Tipping The Scales"</ref>

The timing of the Blades of Death attack was striking; at the time of the attack, Special Adjunct [[Jill Wilson]] was serving as a consular mission on behalf of the Archon, meeting with Duchess [[Tamari LaRue]], the leader of the [[Inarcs Archonette]], over the [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]]'s concerns that the Duchess was building an excess of military forces on Inarcs above and beyond the needs of the Archonette. Reports in the [[Inarcs Press Daily]] speculated that the Duchess may have been involved in the pirate attack somehow.<ref name="JHS:Tp28+"/>

[[Blackstone BattleMechs Limited]] found itself in an invidious position in the wake of the [[Jihad]]; all of the production from their plant was going to the military of the [[Inarcs Archonette]], which as late as [[3081]] was refusing to return to the government the executive powers which had been handed to it, prompting rumors of imminent military action as the Lyran government reasserted control.<ref name="J:FRp85">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 85: "Coventry Province"</ref>

Following the completion of [[Operation SCOUR]] and the final end of hostilities with the [[Word of Blake]], Archon [[Adam Steiner]] requested all the Archonettes return their powers to Tharkad. Duchess [[Tamari LaRue]] responded to this claiming she did not consider the threat over with little implication she would ever surrender her emergency powers. In response, on 23 June [[3083]], Adam sent the [[First Royal Guards]] [[RCT]] and [[Second Bolan Guards]] [[LCT]] supported by the LAS ''[[Yggdrasil (Individual Mjolnir-class WarShip)|Yggdrasil]]'' to strike Inarcs. The Second Bolan quickly secured the taskforce's drop zones and easily defeated local militia resistance while the First Royal advanced on Utopia, easily smashing the defending Blackstone Highlanders and capturing the Duchess.<ref name=FM3085-95>''Field Manual: 3085'', pp. 94–95: "The Lyran Commonwealth - Reclaiming Authority"</ref>
