The base is situated on coastline near what became the mining/port city of Port Archangel. The base protected by steep cliffs, with narrow tunnels. The Fort contains a large landing field for space vessels to land. The base is noted for having nine towers containing anti-spacecraft/aerospace fighter batteries. These weapons prevent aerospace fighters to DropShip spacecraft from making direct orbital landing onto the base. By the early [[thirty-second century]], the base fell into disuse during [[Republic of the Sphere]] ownership of the planet. Civilians utilize some of the base's facilities to help extra ore and other goods from the Ravenglade's rich lands.<ref>''Fortress of Lies'', pp. 253–257, 270: Tidbits of information regarding Military Complex named, Fort Ravenglade</ref> | ||

St. Andre is a mainly red desert planet located anti-spin of Terra. The planet is notable for its rich natural resources. The planet has one moon, named St. Michael.[1]
Planetary History[edit]
Early History[edit]
The leaders of the Tikonov Grand Union, Sarna Supremacy, Liao Protectorate, Capellan Commonality, Sian, and St. Ives Mercantile League met on St. Andre in 2367 to form the Capellan Confederation.[See Notes]
Third Succession War[edit]
Regimental sized elements of Wolf's Dragoons raided St. Andre in 3008.[16]
In late 3027, Liao scientists discovered a Star League storage outpost, likely belonging to the SLDF's Seventy-second Infantry Division,[42] on the northern continent of Ivaar which was known as Site Seven-Alpha. It is highly probable that the exceedingly rare GOL-1H Goliath was present in the cache, explaining how Cochraine's Goliaths was able to field 28 of the 'Mechs. This excavation was supervised by the Maskirovka but with ComStar agents providing technical and informational assistance. Cochraine's Goliaths and an aerospace battalion were dedicated to guarding Site Seven-Alpha.[43]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
During the Fourth Succession War, St. Andre was one of the first Capellan worlds attacked. The Davion Light Guards and the Twelfth Vegan Rangers Alpha and Beta Regiments landed on the world. They were able to destroy or defeat Justinia's Cuirassiers, Cochraine's Goliaths, and the First Battalion of the Blackwind Lancers.[44]
Jihad[edit]
During the Jihad, the CCAF had control of the planet and fought off several Word of Blake attacks aimed at claiming the planet; St. Andre was attacked early in the Jihad, with a second assault on St. Andre by a Level III being rebuffed between 21 and 28 May 3070,[45][46] while a later raid in September 3076 saw a Level III of Blakist troops use weapons of mass destruction against St. Andre.[47][48] The third (and final) attack featured the Blakists using chemical weapons. Fortunately for the Capellan defenders the prevailing winds blew these chemicals back into the Blakist camps, killing the forces that would use them.[1]
Since St. Andre became a member of the Republic of the Sphere, the planet's military facilities went into disuse since 3084.[49] The world did not join the Republic willingly; it was integrated into the Republic's Prefecture V, along its anti-spinward border with Capellan Confederation.[1]
First Invasion of St. Andre[edit]
In 3132, the Inner Sphere's HPG Grid collapsed, within two years St. Andre became target of a renewed House Liao incursion to reacquire worlds lost with formation of the Republic. Left in the Dark, the republican-led government became aligned with a House Davion military splinter group known as Swordsworn, led by Duke Aaron Sandoval.
In December 3134, the planet was invaded by large concentration of Confederation troops poised to retake the planet and break resistance in Prefecture to their invasion. The Swordsworn regiment, Davion Guards initially led by their Commander Justin Sortek had taken up position in old SLDF base, Fort Ravenglade. However, Sortek was unable to hold off the invaders from seizing Georama and planet's capital of Jerome. Late December, Swordsworn's executive officer Erik Sandoval-Groell on planet to lead besieged Swordsworn forces from in pending invasion of the Fort on icy continent of Ravenglade. Liao forces on Christmas Eve, committed amphibious assault against Fort's port city of Archangel. The assault was part of a two prong attack, with an amphibious assault including a large force of 'Mechs, hovercraft and VTOLs designate take out the Fort's anti-spacecraft batteries. While a squadron of DropShips orbited the planet waiting to insert its share of military forces once the batteries were silenced. However, though Swordsworn forces in the base were badly outnumbered, they held off the invaders long enough reinforcement arrive as last of the defense towers were destroyed by Liao troops.[50]
Second Invasion and return to Capellan Rule[edit]
In late February 3135, Capellan Confederation forces invade the planet for the second time. However this time, Swordsworn forces were unable to fight them off and were force to withdraw from the planet.[51][52]
Military Deployment[edit]
Geography[edit]
St. Andre has two continents: Georama and Ravensglade. Georama is the large southern continent of the planet and the home of most of the planet's population. The planetary capital of Jerome is located on Georama. The northern ice-covered flatlands of Ravenglade is where most of planet's rich natural resources are mined, which include uranium, coal, and petroleum.[1]
Planetary Locations[edit]
- Fort Ravenglade: This is an old Star League Defense Force Military Complex. The base was used original to house a Star League Defense Force Division. The base is situated on coastline near what became the mining/port city of Port Archangel. The base protected by steep cliffs, with narrow tunnels. The Fort contains a large landing field for space vessels to land. The base is noted for having nine towers containing anti-spacecraft/aerospace fighter batteries. These weapons prevent aerospace fighters to DropShip spacecraft from making direct orbital landing onto the base. By the early thirty-second century, the base fell into disuse during Republic of the Sphere ownership of the planet. Civilians utilize some of the base's facilities to help extra ore and other goods from the Ravenglade's rich lands.[61]

- Port Archangel
- St. Michael Station: a colony on the moon of St. Andre[62]
Notes[edit]
- ^ There is inconsistency regarding the year the Capellan Confederation was founded. More recent publications such as Interstellar Operations: Alternate Eras give the year as 2367,[63] while others such as Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130) list it as 2366.
