Planetary History[edit]
Milton began its fast growth as a near-paradise planet. The industry of Milton was at its peak when Terra ceased all trade with worlds further than one jump away.[1] As Director-General James McKenna began his third "campaign of persuasion" in 2333 to annex former Terran Alliance colonies and bring them into the Terran Hegemony, Milton was the second planet to be targeted by the Hegemony Armed Forces.[5]
The Hegemony later used Milton's trade problems as a part of the campaign to reintegrate the planet, and soon industry begun to develop again.[1] Milton became a major exporter of industrial materials, radioactive ores, and components for fusion engines and spacecraft,[2] until the Amaris Civil War began. Amaris' troops pillaged Milton, leading to its slow collapse. During the Succession Wars, battles between the Free Worlds League and the Lyran Commonwealth led to the destruction of all industry on the Phronx and Selajia continents and lead to their total biological and chemical contamination. In contrast to the Succession Wars, during the Jihad, Milton avoided any significant damage and experienced major industrial growth later after the conflict.[1]
First Succession War[edit]
Milton was one of a number of Lyran Commonwealth border worlds to be struck by a devastating cross-border raids by the Free Worlds League between 2786 and 2790, as the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces began to crack under the pressure of continuing efforts to annex the Bolan Thumb while also attempting to maintain a defensive posture against both the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery and the Free Worlds League Military.[46]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
In October 3028 Milton was targeted by the Free Worlds League Military as a part of Operation DAGGER, the offensive planned by Captain-General Janos Marik to seize valuable industrial worlds in the Federation of Skye. Smithson's Chinese Bandits arrived in-system on the 1st of October as League invasion forces were jumping into other systems nearby as part of an offensive intended to isolate and then destroy two Lyran line regiments, the Eleventh Lyran Guards and the Seventeenth Arcturan Guards, both stationed on Wyatt.[23] Although the plan to destroy the two Lyran regiments was unsuccessful, the League did capture Milton.[24]
The Jihad[edit]
Following the invasion of the Free Worlds League by the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance in what was termed Operation ÜBERSCHATTEN, Marshall Jeremy Brett took command of the local FWLM and launched a counteroffensive, under the name Operation BROKEN FIST. BROKEN FIST went beyond simply attempting to recapture worlds that the Lyrans had seized, as it struck into Lyran space at numerous worlds. Milton was one of the worlds hit and was captured by the League on the 1st of September 3068 by the First Free Worlds Guards in less than forty-eight hours.[47][35] The planet was subsequently incorporated into the Word of Blake Protectorate, and later liberated by troops fighting on the Lyran front of Operation SCOUR in January 3078.[37]
Republic Era[edit]
Under Republic of the Sphere control, Milton's economy boomed. By 3130, it was once again a major materials exporter, and its spacecraft components industry had returned to its Terran Hegemony heights.[2]
Military Deployment[edit]
3145[edit]
- Silver Keshik[48]
- Ninth Wolf Guard Striker Cluster
- Twenty-seventh Wolf Battle Cluster[48]
- Seventy-ninth Wolf Battle Cluster[48]
Geography[edit]
Milton has four continents named Selajia (southern hemisphere), Olquia, Phronx, and Etienne (in the northern hemisphere). It was settled for the large amount of industrial metals and radioactive materials present in its crust.[1]
During the early succession wars large portions of Milton became uninhabitable due to contamination by chemical and nuclear weapons.[49]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Paradise Foundation: capital city.[2]
- Hell's Gate: the location of a Federated Suns black site medical facility.[49]
