This event was too much for the ruler of the Capellan Confederation and he descended into madness.<ref>''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 2''</ref> ====The Bombardment of the Forbidden City==== During [[Duke of New Syrtis|Duke]] [[George Hasek II|George Hasek's]] [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE|war]] against the Confederation in [[3068]], WarShips believed to belong to Hasek's Davion forces raided Sian space and bombarded the Forbidden City from orbit on the 7th of October. The bombardment resulted in the disappearance of [[Chancellor]] [[Sun-Tzu Liao]], believed to have been killed. Also lost in the bombardment was the "captive" Duchess of [[St. Ives]], [[Candace Liao]]. These events led to ''[[Sang-jiang-jun]]'' [[Talon Zahn]] declaring himself Military Regent of the Confederation whilst Liao forces rallied and began a [[Operation THUNDERSTRIKE|counterstrike]] against Hasek's forces.<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 18: "Beyond Sian & Operation Thunderstrike" - AFFS alleged attack triggers House Liao to rally and strike back at Hasek's Capellan March invasion forces</ref> It took until the first week of December for [[Magestrix of the Magistracy of Canopus|Magestrix]] [[Naomi Centrella]] to successfully rally the troops from the [[Magistracy Armed Forces]] on Sian after the bombardment and resulting chaos, but on the 20th of December the Chancellor was found within the remains of the Forbidden City and recovered alive and well from the rubble.<ref name="J:FRp46">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 46: "The Jihad in Review"</ref><ref name=RUCB>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [20/12/3068]: "Rescuers Uncover Chancellor's Bunker"''</ref> ''[[Sang-wei]]'' [[Peter Lo]] appeared in front of the press to inform the citizens on this.<ref name=CTCoS>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (Solaris Broadcasting Co. section), news item published [14/11/3068]: "Canopian Troops Converge on Sian"''</ref> ====The First Battle of Sian==== In mid-September [[3070]], a [[Word of Blake]] invasion force assaulted Sian in an attempt to occupy the planet. The assault force was led by the WoB's [[24th Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-fourth]] and [[17th Division (Word of Blake)|Seventeenth Divisions]], aided by several mercenary commands, including the [[Dragon's Breath (Mercenary Command)|Dragon's Breath]] and [[Grandin's Crusaders]].<ref name=TCp91>''Total Chaos'', pp. 91: "Celestial Calamity"</ref> However, House Liao forces prevented the majority of the lead elements of the invasion force from landing.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Sian'', p. 8: "Signs of things to Come" - scenario fluff includes info on units involved in the Blakist 3070 assault</ref> As ground troops landed on Sian, Blakist WarShips were engaging Capellan WarShips in the Sian system,<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> and the ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class [[Herald of Retribution|WoBS ''Herald of Retribution'']] was destroyed during the conflict.<ref name="J:FRp128">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 128: "Original Word of Blake Fleet"</ref> Despite the Blakists' attempt to lure the defenders out of position at the city of Beilin, the defenders refused the bait. Instead the [[Third Canopian Fusiliers]] and elements of the [[Death Commandos]] were able to smash the attackers.<ref>''Total Chaos'', pp. 91, 131</ref> The invasion forces finally managed to land and push into the ruins of the Forbidden City. They engaged the Red Lancers and Warrior House Imarra. This grinding combat was favoring the Blakists until something unexpected happened:<ref>''Total Chaos'', pp. 94, 132–133</ref> [[Colonel]] [[Warner Doles (Blackwind Lancers)|Warner Doles]] of the [[Blackwind Lancers]] arrived with his regiment to rescue the Chancellor from the Blakists at the cost of his own life. The final result of the battle was a victory for the Capellan forces.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Sian'', p. 9: "Final Stand" - Scenario gives details what became first battle for Sian during the Jihad</ref> ====Ceasefire and Attempted Assassinations==== On 21 August [[3073]], the former [[Captain-General of the Free Worlds League|Captain-General]] of the [[Free Worlds League]], the "false" [[Thomas Halas|Thomas Marik]] arrived on Sian; his goal was to negotiate a ceasefire between the League and the Confederation. Word of Blake operatives attempted to disrupt the negotiations by attempting to assassinate the former Captain-General, but Capellan security forces thwarted the Blakists efforts. Word of Blake assassins would attempt to strike on Sian again in October the same year; as Magestrix Naomi Centrella-Liao prepared to board her DropShip back to the [[Magistracy of Canopus]] a freak fuel explosion at the Forbidden City spaceport destroyed the DropShip. It was some time before the freak explosion was ultimately attributed to the Word of Blake, however,<ref name="JHS3076p34">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 34: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp52">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 52: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> and Naomi wouldn't actually leave Sian for Magistracy space until February [[3075]].<ref name="JHS:Tp14">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 14: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> Naomi would return to Sian over a year later, returning on 30 March [[3076]] under a joint escort from the Capellan and [[Duchy of Andurien]] armed forces.<ref name="JHS:Tp21">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 21: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp55">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 55: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> ====Trials==== On 30 November [[3073]], Death Commandos arrested Duchess [[Kali Liao]] on [[Highspire]], and transported her to Sian to be presented to the Chancellor. Kali Liao was presented to Sun-Tzu Liao on the 28th of December, and charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.<ref name="J:FRp52"/><ref name="JHS3076p38">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 38: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> ====The Second Battle of Sian==== Over the course of the years since the first battle, the Word of Blake inserted troops covertly onto Sian. These forces secretly built up for a second attempt at seizing the planet from the Capellan forces, while conducting a low-key guerrilla campaign against Capellan forces on the planet prior to the second battle. [[Death Commandos]] finally discovered a series of hidden Blakist bases in [[3074]]; Liao forces began to try and eliminate these staging bases, but ultimately failed. The Blakist commanders, fed up with House Liao's continued resistance, activated their allied special forces in the form of [[Kali Liao|Kali Liao's]] [[Warrior House|Thuggee Warrior Houses]], dispatching the cultists to augment the Blakist troops on Sian. The rogue Warrior Houses combined with two Divisions of Word forces moved to take the Palace, and nearly succeeded; however, one of Kali Liao's Warrior Houses, the [[Warrior House White Tiger|White Tigers]], unexpectedly and inexplicably turned on its fellow cybernetically enhanced allies and annihilated them. This turned the tide of battle for Sian's defenders, ending the struggle to take Sian.<ref name="J:FRp52"/><ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Sian'', pp. 11–12: "The last two scenarios depict Blake's second attempt to take Sian"</ref><ref name="JHS3076p48">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 48: "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref>''Total Chaos'', p. 133</ref> ====Dark Age==== In the closing years of the Jihad, the capital of the Capellan Confederation was rebuilt, with the exception of a few ruins left in place in memory of those who died during the Word of Blake assaults on the planet. Foreign intelligence agencies believed that the Confederation had undertaken measures to prevent future invasions of Sian, including the implementation of an [[SDS]] based around sub-capital weaponry, but hadn't confirmed details of the defenses by [[3079]].<ref name="O:CCp18"/> ===Military Deployment=== {{columns-start|num=3}} ====2765==== * [[Red Lancers]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 7: "Regimental Status"</ref> * [[Second Liao Guards]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 11: "Regimental Status"</ref> * [[Eleventh Sian Dragoons]]<ref>''Field Report 2765: CCAF'', p. 13: "Regimental Status"</ref> ====2786==== * Red Lancers<ref name="FSWp135">''First Succession War'', p. 135: "First Succession War Deployment Table - CCAF"</ref> * Second Liao Guards<ref name="FSWp136">''First Succession War'', p. 136: "First Succession War Deployment Table - CCAF"</ref> * Eleventh Sian Dragoons<ref name="FSWp136"/> ====2821==== * Second Liao Guards<ref name="FSWp136"/> ====2830==== * Second Liao Guards<ref name=2SWp95>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref> ====2864==== * [[Red Lancers]]<ref name=2SWp95>''Second Succession War'', p. 95</ref> {{column}} ====3050==== * [[299th Division (ComStar)]]<ref name=20YU70>''20 Year Update'', p. 70: "Com Guards Deployment Table"</ref> * [[Fourth Tau Ceti Lancers]] (1 [[Battalion]])<ref name=20YU63>''20 Year Update'', p. 63: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=OR42>''Objective Raids'', p. 42: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> * Red Lancers<ref name=20YU62>''20 Year Update'', p. 62: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref><ref name="ORp145">''Objective Raids'', p. 145: "Unit Note"</ref><ref name=FMCC119>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 119: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> ====3054==== * Fourth Tau Ceti Lancers (1 [[Battalion]])<ref name=20YU63/><ref name=OR42/> * Red Lancers<ref name=20YU62/><ref name="ORp145"/><ref name=FMCC119/> * [[Warrior House Imarra]]<ref name=OR42>''Objective Raids'', p. 42: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FMCC120>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 120: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FMU32>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 32: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> ====3055==== * Red Lancers<ref name=20YU62/><ref name="ORp145"/><ref name=FMCC119/> * [[76th Division (ComStar)|Seventy-sixth Division (ComStar)]]<ref name="CS85"/><ref name=FMCS126>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 126: "Com Guards Deployment Table"</ref> * Warrior House Imarra<ref name=OR42/><ref name=FMCC120/><ref name=FMU32/> ====3062==== * Seventy-sixth (ComStar)<ref name="CS85">''ComStar'', p. 85: "Com Guards Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FMCS126/> * Warrior House Imarra<ref name=OR42/><ref name=FMCC120/><ref name=FMU32/> {{column}} ====3063==== * Red Lancers<ref name=20YU62>''20 Year Update'', p. 62: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref><ref name="ORp145">''Objective Raids'', p. 145: "Unit Note"</ref><ref name=FMCC119>''Field Manual: Capellan Confederation'', p. 119: "Capellan Confederation Deployment Table"</ref> * [[Death Commandos]]<ref name=FMCC119/> * Warrior House Imarra<ref name=OR42/><ref name=FMCC120/><ref name=FMU32/> ====3067==== * Warrior House Imarra<ref name=OR42/><ref name=FMCC120/><ref name=FMU32/> ====3079==== * [[First Capellan Defense Force]]<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 12: "Capellan Defense Regimental Status"</ref> * [[Fifth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]]<ref>''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 15: "McCarron's Armored Cavalry Profile"</ref> ====3085==== * Death Commandos<ref name=FM3085p33>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 33: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3085"</ref> ====3145==== * Death Commandos<ref name=FM3145p45>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 45: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> * Red Lancers<ref name=FM3145p45>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 45: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> * [[SCMD Training Group]]<ref name=FM3145p46>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 46: "Capellan Confederation Armed Forces Deployment Table - 3145"</ref> {{columns-end}} ===Geography=== [[File:Sian Planetary Map.png|right|450px|thumb|Sian Planetary Map]] Sian has four major landmasses: Liaoning "The Walrus," Wuhan, Imarra, and South Home.<ref name="O:CCp18"/> The planet's environment consist of lush jungle and tropical environments, which have been placed under restrictive developmental protection.<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Sian'', p. 5: "Sian"</ref> ===Planetary Locations=== * Zi-Jin Cheng ("Forbidden City"): The city is the capital city of both the planet and the Confederation.
