Line 45: A relatively minor Outworlds Alliance colony in [[2581]], '''Schirmeck''' was one of the planets occupied by forces from the [[Star League Defense Force]] during the first wave of attacks on the Alliance as a part of the forcible incorporation of the [[Periphery]] States into the [[Star League]] following the mass rejection of the [[Pollux Proclamation]].
