'''Kwangjong-ni''', among planets, stood out for its oceans. Although the planet's seas were the site of constant storms, the plentiful ocean life supplied both most of the planet's food and its primary export, luxury seafood.<ref name=S8Bainbridge>''Shrapnel Issue #8'': "Bainbridge's Guide to Impactful Exoflora"</ref>

====Reunification War====
By the end of the [[Age of War]] Kwangjong-ni was a member of the [[Finmark Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> Civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic in [[2575]], with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul of the Rim Worlds Republic|First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130: "The Spark"</ref>

By the end of the [[Age of War]] Kwangjong-ni was a member of the [[Finmark Province]] of the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name="HB:MPSp18"/> In [[2575]], one of the closing years of the Age of War, civil war erupted in the Rim Worlds Republic, with the factions polarized around those loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]] and those loyal to the [[Rift Republican Army]] and the [[Rim Provisional Government]].<ref name="H:RWp130">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 130: "The Spark"</ref>
 +
 
 +
The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic. A multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]], Task Force MAILED FIST was responsible for executing [[Operation MAILED FIST]], the name given to the military intervention. The first wave of attacks focused on securing significant worlds near [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]],<ref name="H:RWp132">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 132: "Case Apollo"</ref> until a destructive raid on [[Alarion]] by the [[4th Amaris Fusiliers]] in retaliation prompted the SLDF to alter its initial strategy for the campaign, the focus shifted to reducing [[Rim Worlds Army]] concentrations throughout the Republic and the capture of key worlds.<ref name="H:RWp133">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 133: "Island Hopping (2582 - November 2590)"</ref>

In late [[2584]] the SLDF changed tactics again; a number of major RWA units had been destroyed or captured, and the focus for the campaign shifted to capturing worlds of strategic importance, but the campaign was slowed by the greatly increased resistance offered by the RWA and local civilian populations, prompted by atrocities perpetrated by the [[Draconis Auxiliary Corps]] when they captured [[Nightwish]] in mid-2584.<ref name="H:RWp134">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 134: "Arlina to Viborg (December 2584 - September 2588)"</ref>
  
The [[Star League]] eventually decided to intervene in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris, and in [[2579]] assembled a multinational force headed by the [[Star League Defense Force]] to help secure Amaris' control over the Rim Worlds Republic.<ref name=H:RWp129>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 129</ref> Assigned to the conquest of Kwangjong-ni in [[2588]] was all three regiments from the [[Lyran Auxiliary Corps]]: the [[Tamar Tigers]], the [[Twenty-fifth Skye Rangers]] and the [[Fourth Royal Guards]]. The Star League forces successfully took control of Kwangjong-ni, defeating the local militia and partisan forces, and all three [[LCAF]] units remained in place on the planet until they were redeployed for the invasion of [[Luanda]] in [[2590]].<ref name="H:RWp153">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 153: "Rim Worlds Republic Front (2588–2596)"</ref>

[[Archon]] [[Viola Steiner-Dinesen]] of Battle Group Finmark assigned all three regiments from the [[Lyran Auxiliary Corps]] - the [[Tamar Tigers]], the [[25th Skye Rangers|Twenty-Fifth Skye Rangers]] and her own [[4th Royal Guards|Fourth Royal Guards]] - to the conquest of Kwangjong-ni in [[2588]].

During the [[Star League]] era, the Republic set up a BattleMech factory located in an underwater habitat hidden deep in Kwangjong-ni's massive Lost Sea.  This was kept secret from the other nations, but rumors of the facility leaked out.  The [[Star League Defense Force]] sent the [[111th Light Horse Regiment]] to Kwangjong-ni to follow up on rumors of an illegal BattleMech manufacturing facility, but they found nothing.  The facility would fall into disuse and disrepair after the Republic's collapse during [[Republic-Commonwealth War]] [[2773]][[2775]] where Kwangjong-ni was conquered by the Lyran Commonwealth.<ref name="HB:MPSp37"/><ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 158: "Independent Regiments"</ref><ref name=OLA-18>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 18: "Kwangjong-ni - Defiance Industries Manufacturing Annex"</ref>
