====Amaris Civil War====
New Canton served as a military nexus along the [[Terran Hegemony]]–Capellan frontier. During [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]], the [[Star League Defense Force]] entered the system in [[2772]] with a fifty-ship attack fleet, quickly eliminating the [[Amaris Empire]] task force of twenty-four [[WarShip]]s and additional transports. The [[7th Army (Star League)|Seventh Army]]'s [[LIII Corps (Star League)|LIII Corps]] then landed on-planet, splitting its focus between securing the Amaris supply depots garrisoned by two overstrength [[Rim Worlds Army#Hegemony Patriots|Patriot]] [[battalions]], and a largely conventional campaign to neutralize the remaining forces consisting of a [[regiment]] of [[Amaris Regulars]] and another two Patriot battalions based within the world's lone [[Castle Brian]]. The defenders were able to destroy large stockpiles of the supplies before the SLDF could capture them, though the great majority of their WMD were secured or destroyed safely.<ref name=H:LoTV1p131>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 131</ref>

====First Succession War====
The Capellan Confederation annexed New Canton in [[2784]], part of a series of annexations that added fifteen former Terran Hegemony worlds to the Confederation while the Hegemony was collapsing immediately before the [[First Succession War]] erupted.<ref name="H:LoTv2p118"/><ref name="FSWp27">''First Succession War'', p. 27: "Capellan Confederation Gains"</ref> In late [[2787]], [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] [[Kenyon Marik]] launched an invasion of the Confederation, intent on capturing a corridor of worlds leading to [[Sarna]]. Having quickly seized [[Corey]] and [[Wazan]], the Free Worlds League faced a two-year struggle to hold both worlds as the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] attempted to get reinforcements to both worlds. [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor]] [[Barbara Liao]] ordered an attack on [[New Delos]], a major [[Free Worlds League Military]] staging ground, which disrupted supply lines, communications and repair facilities and killed twenty thousand civilians.<ref name="HM(TFWL)p28">''House Marik (The Free Worlds League)'', pp. 28–29: "The Collapse of Terra"</ref>
