In addition to the equipment sold to the two nearby Periphery realms, the [[Fiefdom of Randis]] also bought small quantities of the ''[[Star Dagger]]'' aerospace fighter for their own local defense forces.<ref name="J:FRp117">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 117: "Calderon Protectorate"</ref> ====Dark Age==== In [[3105]], the [[mercenary unit]] [[Clean Kill]] arrived covertly on Diik. The Clean Kill were in the employ of the Taurian Concordat at the time and had arrived clandestinely to conduct raids; for months, the Clean Kill managed to evade detection while striking at Protectorate targets. The Clean Kill were finally tracked down when [[Captain]] [[Jere MalDonaldo]] of the Protectorate military assembled an entire [[regiment]] of [[battle armor]]-equipped infantry using [[Spectre (Battle Armor)|Spectre]] suits manufactured at the nearby Protectorate Arms Conglomerate plant. MalDonaldo passed the location of the Clean Kill to the [[Second Taurian Pride]], but then rather than fading out and waiting for the arrival of the Pride, MalDonaldo had his troops infiltrate the Clean Kill encampment and launch a surprise attack.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp4"/> The opening wave of the attack by the Protectorate forces was very successful, killing a large part of the Clean Kill's command and support staff, but as the Clean Kill's defenses tried to react to the sudden attack MalDonaldo was killed by a Clean Kill ''[[Locust]]''. The loss of MalDonaldo shattered the ad hoc Protectorate formation, most of whom were gunned down by the Clean Kill before the Second Taurian Pride arrived and routed the mercenaries.<ref name="TRO:3145Mp4"/> ===Military Deployment=== {{columns-start|num=3}} ====3079==== * [[Third Calderon Guard]]<ref name="FRPp13">''Field Report: Periphery'', p. 13: "Calderon Protectorate Regimental Status"</ref> ====3085==== * Third Calderon Guard<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 151: "Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> {{column}} ====3105==== * [[Second Taurian Pride]]<ref name="TRO:3145Mp4"/> ====3145==== * [[Fourth Taurian Pride]] (shared with Gaul)<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 202: "Calderon Protectorate"</ref> {{columns-end}} ===Geography=== Diik has three continents named Overland, Netherland, and Northland.<ref name=OB:Pp13/> ===Planetary Locations=== * Diik City: planetary capital city, located on Overland<ref name=OB:Pp13/> * South Diik: a forest location with mild climate<ref name=OB:Pp13/> ===Companies and Industries=== * [[Protectorate Arms Conglomerate]]<ref name=OB:Pp13/><ref>''Objectives: Periphery'', p. 13: "Protectorate Defense Conglomerate"</ref> <!-- Commented out due to lack of information ===Image gallery=== --> ==Notes== Diik's name has been explained in a canonical source (in-universe date of [[3145]]) as "Damned if I know," which may or may not be its official registered name.<ref name="FM:3145p198">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 198; according to a [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,34489.msg806093.html#msg806093 forum posting] on the official [[BattleTech Forum]] by BattleTech writer [[Aaron Pollyea|Aaron "Gravedigger" Pollyea]], he decided this was the meaning behind "Diik" when he wrote the entry.
