Planetary Info
Early History
Errai was settled with the intent of becoming a major industrial world, and it succeeded. Fusion reactors, IndustrialMechs, heavy industrial equipment, and electronics firms flooded the world with workers over time. By the 24th Century Errai was already a wealthy independent world, and shortly after Errai had signed a mutual defence pact with the nearby worlds of Helen and Quentin it was targetted for conquest by Director-General James McKenna of the newly-formed Terran Hegemony. Having secured his hold over all of the worlds within the rump state of the Terran Alliance, McKenna began a "Campaign of Persuasion" to bring other former Alliance worlds and independent worlds into the Hegemony through military force, and the three allied worlds of Errai, Helen and Quentin were his first targets.[6]
McKenna attacked the Errai system with a large fleet of WarShips, and despite knowing that there was litle chance of resisting the invasion the leaders of each of the three allied worlds planned to teach McKenna a lesson; all three worlds converted fleets of cargo and interplanetary courier ships into fighting vessels by adding lasers and missile tubes to battle in space, and all three worlds beefed up their ground forces with large militia forces of trained personnel augmented by volunteers. The colonists on Errai fought a dogged, even fanatical, campaign of resistance against the Hegemony Armed Forces before finally being conquered, and the resistance offered by those on Errai taught the HAF a number of harsh lessons.[6]
Amaris Civil War
When Stefan Amaris launched Operation APOTHESIS, his usurpation of the Terran Hegemony, one of the initial stages of his campaign was to secure naval doination of the systems within the Hegemony. Rim Worlds Republic naval forces consisting of WarShips, DropShips and AeroSpace Fighters attempted to secure the two major jump points in every inhabited system, including Errai.[11]
The RWR's efforts were frustrated in the Errai system, where a a large SLDF supply convoy consisting of critical supplies and replacement troops destined for the forces engaged in fighting the Periphery Uprising was being assembled under the command of Commodore Justine Campos. A task force of five RWR WarShips attempted to interdict the convoy, but Commodore Campos drove her lighter, six-strong WarShip detachment directly into the heart of the RWR formation. While the SLDF task force was at a significant disadvantage in terms of tonnage, the ships were all fresh from the fighting on the Periphery front, making them considerably sharper and more experienced than their attackers. The SLDF forces lost four ships but destroyed all five attacking vessels; the two surviving light SLDF WarShips then fought a ten-minute last stand at the Errai nadir jump point, buying time against the flotillas of RWR DropShips and Fighters to allow the supply convoy to escape. The heavily-laden supply vessels were all able to jump out of the system or proceed into deep space to rendezvous and then jump away, although neither SLDF WarShip survived.[11]
Post Clan Invasion Era
After the formation of the Second Star League, the Maltex Corporation received investment capital from Comstar to reconstruct their factories on the world for the production of Wyverns and Thugs battlemechs. By 3064, the factories were in production again.[12][13] Throughout the Federated Commonwealth Civil War, Errai was garrisoned by Harlock's Warriors. The world was raided by the Combine in 3068. In 3069, the world came under attack by the Word of Blake, and after a long guerrilla campaign, Harlock's Warriors fled the world in 3070 due to lack of supplies.[14][15]
