Situated approximately sixty light years spinward of the [[Draconis Combine]], Farstar is a small colony world taken by the [[Federated Commonwealth]] shortly after the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The system is naturally difficult to navigate due to a large asteroid field, so Farstar has proven an ideal base of operations for the [[Department of Military Intelligence]] and the [[Ministry of Information, Intelligence, and Operations]], allowing agents to infiltrate the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] in poorly staffed or undisciplined units stationed near the [[Periphery]].<ref name=TP2Ep90>''The Periphery, 2nd Edition'', p. 90: "New Findings"</ref>

==Civil War era==
In [[3063]], [[Clan Snow Raven]] began unspecified operations to secure independent sources of supplies, implicitly minerals. In the same year, or shortly afterward, their report notes that the resource-rich but lightly defended world was ripe for the picking; the [[Trial of Possession]] lasted scarcely six minutes. [[Bondsmen]] taken from Farstar provided detailed intelligence on the Draconis Combine and the [[Federated Suns]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 64</ref> Notably, there is no indication that the Clan actually took control of the world.

=== The Dark Age ===
In [[3089]], the [[Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]] launched a punitive attack on Farstar, targeting the pirate band known as the [[Farstar Raiders]]. The Fifth staged a daring combat drop directly into the landing zone of the Farstar Raiders' [[DropShip]] landing zone, taking heavy damage but inflicting a terrible toll on the ground forces there who were caught completely by surprise. The Fifth had been on [[New Samarkand]] prior to the strike on Farstar; after the Farstar Raiders struck at the [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Tabayama]], the Fifth were tasked with tracking down and punishing the pirates, whose trail led back to Farstar.<ref name="TRO:Pp106">''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 106: "WFT-2B ''Wolf Trap''"</ref>
